The coiumbine.

There are some good reasons adduced
by those who favor the claims of the
columbine as national flower. The
colors Of the wild varieties are red,
white and blue. The flower is purely
American, quite widespread, hardy,
graceful, beautiful. The petals are
perfect liberty caps reversed they
are horns of plenty" Columbine
comes from the Latin columbia, dove;
the peaceful derivation of the word
aecords well with our national policy;
the Eame also recalls Columbus, the
great navigator and discoverer. The
flower also lends itself well to con,
Observation-Disclosures decoration.

BROWN ARMY
TAKES THE
OFFENSIVE

Corps Headquarters. Gainesville. Va,
Sept. S-The two armies are again In the
ied. This time the brown army Is the
aggressor. 1t is to strike the blue army
soon. as a preliminary operation against
the capitol at Washington. Owing TO the
postponement OF hostilities until o'clock
this morning IL is a safe prediction that
no fighting will occur today outside y
the collision oflcaValry forces which were
pushed to the front by both commanders.
General Grant has taken up a defensive
position I'm the Bull Run valley His in
strUctons are TO hold this position until
reinforcements Imaginary can reach him
from Anandale. These reinforcements.
according 10 the conditions imposed, can
not reach him I'm much less time than
As hours.
Gen. Bell is assumed TO have reinforce
ments al Salem. distant about IL hours.
lie Is moving his force forward TO the de-
fence line with the object OF holding
Grant If possible in his present position
until his reinforcements can reach him
and then overwhelm him before the blue
relnforcements arrive.
Gen. Bells force spent most OF the day
on the march They swarmed down the
Warrenton and Thoroughfare pixies In
parallel columns. The greater part OF to-
day was consumed I'm getting in contact
with the defence line. Serious fighting
will not. II is believed, occur until day
break tomorrow
The march is being conducted exactly
as II would be i'm actual warfare, and
while there Is nothing spectacular about
the days operations, Gen. Corbin says
that the work will be OF great benefit to
the men engaged The health of the
troops Is good. There are 100 men under
medical treatment In both camps the
Manassas camp having slightly the larger
number. This Is accounted for by reason
OF the longer marches made by the troops
or Gen. Grant in their operations the
past two days against Thoroughfare Gap.
