A famous company of strong men gave the best of their energies to the opening of Africa during the nineteenth century. They were missionaries, like Moffat and Livingstone; scientific inquirers, like Barth, Rohlfs, Du Chaillu, Teleki, and Thomson; adventurous explorers, like Speke, Grant, Burton, Cameron, and Selous; and soldiers, statesmen, and organisers, such as Gordon, Rhodes, Samuel Baker, Emin Pasha, Johnston, Lugard, and Taubman Goldie — but there is no need to go through the list.

I know your interest in the cause; and it has occurred to me that, personally, you may be able to touch some persons who will appreciate the hint.

f three hundred Federal horsemen attack him on the 15th of September in the district of the Senecas, near the confluence of the Neosho River and Buffalo Creek, and scatters his band. But the arrival of an important reinforcement was about to give the latter the opportunity of reorganizing. Colonel Shelby had collected around him on the south of the Arkansas a somewhat numerous band in order to be able to cross the line of posts placed en échelon by Blunt on this river. He attacks that of Moffat's Store, east of Fort Smith, on September 27th, and, concealing his movement under the feint of a retreat, he, on the contrary, rushes northward into the part of the State of Arkansas east of the Ozark Mountains, which the Federals have not visited for a long time. Continuing thence his march, he reaches Missouri, summons to him Coffee and another guerilla chief called Hunter, and at the head of a band which he increases from day to day he penetrates into the rich districts situated north o

And on the twenty-eighth day of August, after destroying the house and furniture of one Howard, who had written, and of one Moffat, who had spoken in favor of the power of parliament to tax America, they gathered round the house of their stamp officer, and, after a parley, compelled him to resign. At New-York, the Lieutenant-Governor expressed a wish to the General for aid from the army. You shall have as many troops as you shall demand, and can find quarters for, replied Gage; and at the same time, he urged Colden to the severe exertion of the civil power. The public papers, he continued, are crammed with treason,
