gular delays of the army. lie was not satisfied, ia not

Winter ia coming fast, and gold is—how high is tbo

10 buainess of making up his mind. Tbo wet weather

condition of enforced quiet for the Winter, and if ji

The result of tho elections in Ohio and Indiana, and
in Pennsylvania, has greatly surprised nnd grieved tho
