the remainder of the column. This morning has opened again threatening rain, but our army is safe, the mass of it having got over the roads; in fact, the roads have been first-rate for the artillery and teams. During the march to this point our troops were in the very best spirits ; their merry, echoing voices rang through the forests, raising the spirits of the weary ones in the rear, all hurrying on to-ward this point. The Philadelphia brigade, known as Burns's, now commanded by Colonel Josh. Owens, of the gallant Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania, were in the left column during the march. They are in General Howard's division. Col. Baxter's regiment of Fire Zouaves have been consolidated, and now have ten companies instead of fifteen, as formerly. Yesterday morning one of the teams belonging to one of our batteries was out foraging for fodder, and got within a hundred yards of the enemy's cavalry pickets, they not observing the rebels. The teamster drove into a corn-field, t

; then he located a vast timber claim on Lake Tahoe; then he tried quartz mining in the silver regions; prospected for gold in the placer country; and, in daily expectation of striking it fabulously rich, sank his brother's salary in the most promising leads. That his claims did not pan out well is clear from his accepting in 1862 a position as local reporter for the Virginia City Enterprise at twenty-five dollars a week, having commended himself to the editor by a series of letters signed Josh. Thus began his literary career. In reporting for this paper the sessions of the Legislature at Carson City he first employed the signature Mark Twain, a name previously used by a pilot-correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune but ultimately commemorating the leadsman's cry on the Mississippi. His effervescent spirits, excited by the stirring and heroically convivial life of a community of pioneers, found easy outlet in the robust humour and slashing satire of frontier journalism. In 18

good account of themselves. All three had figured in the great tournaments for which the Warrenton county was famous in ante-bellum days; and when called upon to enter the lists which involved life and property, their nerve, zeal and splendid horsemanship proved them to be not drawing-room knights, but soldiers in the Spartan sense of the word. The Martin family also had three brothers in the troop, who acquitted themselves with dash and courage. There was none braver in the command than Josh Martin, to whose memory the women of Warrenton have erected a monument. When General Payne, who had been a colonel on Governor Wise's staff, was wounded, Lieutenant Robert Randolph, of the distinguished family of that name, assumed command, and shortly afterward lost his life. Bob Randolph, as he was affectionately called by his comrades, came of virile stock, and was as valiant a soldier as ever fought and died for the doctrine of States' rights. Upon the promotion of General Payne he

This lease and attendant litigation is briefly as follows: In 1650 the Squa died, according to the deposition of Richard Church in Scarlett v. Gardiner, and Edward Gibbons took possession of the land in behalf of his son. In 1655, 9th of 5 mo. (July 9) Jotham, describing himself as of Bermuda, appointed Thomas Lake and Josh: Scottow general attorneys for many purposes, and among other things to recover possession of the parcell of land belonging unto me sometimes called by the name of Squa Sachem's hill. It was mortgaged to Scottow, redeemed by Scarlett in the right of his wife, leased by him to Thomas Gleason who entered under the lease and soon had his hands full of work and trouble. In the summer of 1659 men employed by Henry Dunster as executor of Colonel Cooke began to mow the grass in the meadow below

Imprimatur Calamy This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayst observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.--Josh. 1: 8. Printed at London, by G. B. and R. W., for G. C. 1643. Preface to this Edition. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth from 1653 to his death in 1655, began his military career in 1642. In 1643 appeared this little manual for his soldiers. Though not prepared by Cromwell, it was published with his approbation, and was in general use among his soldiers. Cromwell's success was due in no small degree to the strict morals and rigid discipline of his a

rsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers. Deut. 24: 28. And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? Israel hath smilled, and they also have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Josh. 7: 10, 11. The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place: now the Lord hath brought it, and done according as he hath said, because ye hath sinned against the Lord. Jer. 40: 2, 3. My people have been lost sheep; all that foundple, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow; for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel; thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. Josh. 7: 13. Especially let Soldiers and all of us upon such occasions search whether we have not put too little confidence in the arm of the Lord, and too much in the arm of flesh. For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken m
