Thanksgiving ON the Border.

Mr.. j. Il. Austin, one of Uncle
Sans young soldiers on the border
who enlisted from this county. writes
The Journal that the soldier boys
had a great Thanksgiving dinner.
The Brownsville papers, published
where the soldiers are encamped, say
that the dinner was superior to that
put out by large hotels on similar &C.
casions. Over twenty-five thousand
pounds of turkey were consumed in
the camps at Brownsville. In addi-
ton to the fine food furnished by the
government, the soldiers received
boxes of delicacies from their own
homes. The company cooks entered
into a rivalry as to which should pre-
pare the best dinner and there was
something doing at the dinner hour.
Mr.. Austin adds that he saw in The
Journal what Mr.. Joe Brewer said
about war, and inspite of the good
rations, he agrees with him that
General Sherman properly described
