Bottle q Up,

The expression "bottled up" now
frequently applied to Cervera's fleet
is attributed to Gen. Grant, so far as
1t relates to military affairs.
In May, 1864, Ben Butler, at the
head of $4,000 Federal troops, landed
at Bermuda Hundred, on James river
and advanced upon Richmond and
Petersburg. The Conlederates were
taken by surprise somewhat, and
Butler was able to push his lines IN
to Richmond and Petersburg turn.
pike. He thus got in between Rich
mond and Petersburg.
Confederate troops were however
summoned from Charleston, $. G
and from Lees army, and Bntler was
attacked near Drewry's Bluff and At
Port Wilthall Station and was driv.
en- back to Bermuda Hundred. There
he was hemmed in between the James
and Appomattox rivers and the Con. |
iederate lines, so that he coull NOT
move forward, nor to the right or left
lie was however, relieved of danger
when Grant came down to Richmond
and Petersburg from Spottsylvania
Buffers unhappy position on the
marrow neck OF land where Bermuda
Hundred is situated led Grant to saw
that Butler could not have been more
'iieetually disposed of "if he had been
bottled up."-Richmoad Dispatch.

The average age of the volunteers
who have enlisted for this war is only
twenty-four, says the Atlanta Jour-
nal. The army we are sending
against Spain is, perhaps the young
est that ever went to battle. The
yOuthfulness of the volunteers from
the North and West who have passed
through Atlanta has been subject
of much remark, and the Georgia
volunteers are mostly young men.
The enthusiasm and vigor of youth
are of great value in war. Our boys
are going out with light hearts and
with the flush Of confidence on their
cheeks. They will gain experience
rapidly and many Of them will dis
tinguish themselves. The youth of
the country has responded nobly to
the call for troops, as American
youth always does. In every one off
her wars young men have won glori-
Gus names and frightened the pages
of American history.
