the Tennessee river to the Ohio in 1852,
he sent out the cavalry TO mystify the
Federal leaders in Mississippi and Ala

Corinth and Chattanooga line. The his

plot to rescue JEFF Davis by seizing the

with Wheeler says Of the general:

as gentle hammered as woman, refined In ex-

enough. Besides every one knew that
the Confederates put up good fight,

Small birds are so numerous as to
cause the farmers displeasure. The
warfare waged on the ANIMALS, and
larger birds that prey on the small
ones, is probably the cause of the
rapid decrease in the feathered pop
