the city of Boston stands to Maine very
much as Havana lid 10 the United
States in the days when yellow fever
was menace and a scourge. The
movement for resubmission was
stronger two or three years ago than
now. The temperance sentiment is
now on the rise, as witness the action
of the Republican Convention, when
Bert NJ. Fernald. Anti observation-disclosures,
was nominated by reclamation The
Resubmtssion candidate, Mr.. Haines,
withdrew, as he had no show.
Gen. Reynolds.
James A. Gardner. New Castle. Pa,
says that there was an error in re-
gard to Gen. Reynolds and Gen. Nc
Call being captured at the same place
on the seven days retreat. Gen.
Reynolds fell into the enemy's hands
on the morning after the battle of
Gaines's Mill. Somehow, he had got
ten outside of his lines during the
night and into those of the enemy.
Comrade Gardner was First Lieutenant
of Battery b, 1st Pa. L. A, which was
attached to Reynolds.

Divisions each suffered a loss of more
than 800 killed.

Comrades o. B. Wright and H c.
Boyer got into scrap in The National
Tribune, which they, are continuing in
the Scranton (Pa.) Truth. Up to this
date it appears that in foraging around
South Mountain Boyer got the cake and
Jelly, while Wright made away with a
crock of apple butter, so that the scores
stand even.
