A press censorship in a repub-

the enemy from getting informa-

from finding out how their affair-

and brings the farmer forward as
the country's anchor in war a>
well as in peace.
Reports from Mobile are to the
effect that the regulars regard
the Texas troops as the tinest lot
of volunteers they have seen.
