completely so ill ia'a myself engaged in the con-
tesf. wish to be useful TO my country, and my
Friends; aud ali ny blood seems but little for thai
sacred debt which we all ought to pay.
THE affair OF G. has cost me more labor than
you can imagine but at last he leaves to-mor-
row for his destination, having pledged himself
that in four or FIVE days he will pet himself at
the head OF a rising.
Il am organizing a corps of sixty, with which,
believe shall be able 10 do somathing.'

allied. ami the rest is from moment to moment

power.) The organization At this place is
believe that il the General presents himself,
there will be no need Of speaking TO ANYBODY, as
