What a mercenary motive ! Sorely oar military enthusiasts have a better spirit of patriotism in them thnn they have displayed ! Why not devotß anob. proceeds to some far worthier objeot ? Ai this la going to be a "oaloeaiil" ball there ahotild ba a good earn left) over, which might ba eot apjrbfor an objaob that would refleob credit on onr volnntuern In after years Them la always au oppartanlty to raise funds far the ohud, bib not jo a public eelobrutloD, and I hope tbab the better Geaee of the oommlbteu will ptovall In this muttflr, and thnt they will distribute the money that ■will rWnlt iv a more worthy direotloa.— l aia, &c, K.
