The very last military Device

--Daily, since the opening of the war the Government have been overwhelmed with letters and applications offering now and valuable inversions, each sure, in the estimation of the inventor, to bring the war to a speedy close — By the way of showing the public the character of the great mean of them, we publish the following extract of a letter received at headquarters to day, viz:


"Dear Sir:
I have a method which I am content. It adopted, will work no to your application. It consists of snuff and cavernne pepper mixed together and thrown at the vebele with powder, which will cause them to sneeze, and their eyes to snort and run water, so that they will not be able to use, which will reward their progress, and give us a chance to take more prisoners.--Wash. Star.
