1T gives me pleasure to say that In

From the day OF their arrival in
this city they impressed our people
with their gentlemanly conduct and
soldierly bearing.
1T was with feelings or regret and
sorrow that we parted with the Rhode
Island boys, and / trust that the good
feeling and associations formed with
them will always linger as pleasantly
in their memories as IL will In the me-
mories OF the boys and girls OF the
Sunny South
Assuring you of our high esteem and
best wishes. / am. Yours very sincerely

Drawback. in Gunboat Life.
The attention of the British admiral
ty has been called to the one serious
drawback TIC modern steel ship pos.
sesses. namely, the dcath-lille coldness
of the interior walls. 1t is possible, in
deed. to warm the ship with steam, but
nothing can warm the sides in cold
weather. and the man that
sleeps near the unsympathetic steel
is liable to contract rheumatism
in the unconscious effort to warm
it by the sacrifice of his own
vital heat. On very cold days the
closed air ports will drop icicles, and
the seaward wall of a stateroom will be
as cold as ice
