Of some severity ensued, after Which the
firing ceased the British relreated below,

In the end 10 oblitera,e that moral sense by
which thus far the Government and laws OF
the Union have been upheld, and to which
they owe not alone their efficiency, but even
Their existence. lfttese things be no, only

continually procured, particularly at Bara.

Guilty originating in jest occurred between

the tender of an apology from H. Whether

the fatal result just mentioned.
" Thus closed the fifty bloody street
tragedy in Tennessee for 1888. How
