This is the oratorio in which a chorus such as this must either be at its best or at its worst. There is no midway course possible. On the whole, we may say that it was at its best. Despite the trials of the week-and heavy enough they must have been, in all ...

... [FROM OUR WAR CORRESPONDENT.] NMAFEEING, Feb. 18. THE more I think the more I marvel at the comparative slightness of the epidemic of fever. There are meh elsewhere who would give any price to raise a thirst such as most of us are constantly assailed with.
