Schlessenger succeeded 10 disembark-
ing his troops at Virgin Bay, without an
accident, and after few hours delay, took
up his line OF march for the frontier. This
army was arranged into two divisions, one
with two hundred men, armed principally
with the long and deadly rife, and side arms,
each mans cartridge box being Supplied with
forty-eight ball cartridges. This division
was commanded by Schlessenger in person.
The other comprising the balance Of the
troops, with IN addition Of nearly fifty
stragglers and camp followers, swelling his
total force to nearly five hundred soldiers.
This division was under the charge of the
accomplished Maj. O'Neil, man who bad
seen some service on the continent during
that year Of revolution, AZ. These divis-
ions were considered but the vanguard Of
the Grand Army that was to move in their
rear, in few weeks, at iarthest. Thus to be

enemy, could lay no decided claims to supe-
riority, either in their munitions Of war or
discipline.

stood ready to purchase eli the Bonds issued

them at about the figures named in your

you and your associates succeeded in getting
them, We might expect you TO fight, not
only the currency issued upon our Bonds,
but the law itself under which it is issued.
1t is, to say the least, remarkable coinci-
dence that your financial article agrees

Bonds, with the figures which purport to
come from the same source 10 private.
But why should You wish to have these

not demand Of the State or the Railroad
Company the par value OF them, with inter.

receive loan from the State to enable US
to build Railroad, in which the State is
deeply interested. Should We be faithful TO

have received these State Stocks in good

contractors take large amount of these
Bonds at par, in payment for work done at
cash prices. Their workmen and their fam.
lilies are justly entite to the par value Of
these Bends; and during the last three
months, there has been actual suffering and
want among some Of them, for the reassn
