\ Mighty Event I'm Sight.

In spite of the frantic efforts Of cool
headed men on both sides, it is evil
dent that a meeting must occur be
tween Senator Foraker and Captain
Bill Mcdonald of the Texas Rangers.
The retort courteous has been follow
ed by the counter-check quarrel
some, and the lie circumstantial Is
about to be passed. To Mr.. Forak-
er's awful charge that Captain Bill
would charge hell with a bucket OF
water as a beverage" Senator Forak-
other, need for the water, Captain BIZ
replies that from the way Mr.. For
aker is rampaging It looks to me that
he has a very little acquaintance with
water is a beverage" senator Forak-
er remarks that he cannot under
stand why Captain Bill should be Of
Tended, unless it was because he had
been called a gentleman; TO which
Captain Bill enters the plea that Mr..
Foraker Is no gentleman. II appears
to be an inflated w~indbag," says Cap
tain Bill, mounting vapory sentences
about something he knows absolute
" nothing or very little about"
Furthermore, Captain Bill asserts that
il Senator Foraker had some of those
negro soldiers in his own town he
would take TO the woods rather than
defend them, or IL not, "he is a thick
skinned rihinOceros."
When all this is accompanied and
supported by the statement by Cap
tain Bill that he would gladly swim
the Mississippi in order 10 give Sema-
tor Foraker an opportunity TO cross

worst must follow. Senator Foraker

REUNION NOTES.

A reporter was yesterday shown a
copy of a letter addressed to MY Old
Comrades in Arms" and signed by o.
III. Blocker, in which he bids them
farewell as captain of the company,
the command being taken e by Cap
tain Brady, the step being, caused by
the i'll health and failing strength OF
ICaptain Blocker. The letter was pick
ed up in the fort, after it surrendered
to the union forces, by Il member of
Ione Of the New York companies and he
has preserved it all these years as a
fine relic of the war. The letter bears
splendid testimony to the heroism or
the soldiers. In full it is as follows:
Wilmington, N. c., Aug. 8th, 1862.
To My Old Comrades in Arms:
1t is my painful duty to inform you
that I must leave you. Yes, leave the
command that l loved to serve, 10
leave the company of brave and COCO
soldiers that l deemed it an honor to
~tserve.
My health is a complete failure. I
can not serve you as l ought, [ can
mot work for you as | would wish ana
it is due o you as we'll as to myself
that I resign my position. 1t is done
with more pain than I ever yet have
Experienced. You are good men and
Ii love YOU, you have performed your
duties like honorable soldiers, you
thave obeyed my orders in every In
lstance and / a say for you what |
am sure no other captain can say or
his company. I have never had ac-
lcassion to punish q Of you for the
five months that l have commanded
Iyou! Noble example!
May you continue in your efforts Tor
such honorable reputation.
1 leave you in good hands. Captain
brady will make you an excellent or
Ifcer and you will all owe him who 90
Iyour duty. Your other officers, the
first ~lieutenantS can not be bettered

lcould do his whole duty. 1t have
taken this step because / know 1t was
ibest for you and for me. My physi-
icians advised it and my conscience
proclaimed it to be my duty. / SIN
~Icerely hope that you have. seconded 1t. l
ldrop you these few lines because I
lam too sick TO go down now. | in
