ANOTHER PATRIOTIC FAMILY. - Amos Anderson, of New London, has sent six sons to the army, as follows: John N. in the Kansas State Guard; Charles R. and David in the Engineer Corps; James W. in the 22d Infantry; Amos J. in the 9th Cavalry; Joseph P. in the 11th Infantry. Who can show a better record than this? And yet there are several families of six sons, not one of whom has served in this war against treason. Judge ye' between them. - Home Journal.
