PATRIOTIC LETTER.-The fact has been
| stated that the Union Guard, of Milwaukee,
Wis, has been disban6ed by the Governor OF
that State, because its commander, Capt Barry
| said he would obey orders from the general
government, but not from the State, were such
| TO be issued on account of the Booth (slave
rescued case. When written to on the subjec,
| by the Adj't General Capt. B. promptly
avowed these AS his views, and added:
With all due respect to State authority,
don't believe the Governor would dream tor q
moment of giving an order SO clearly Illegal as
to amount TO an order 10 the military of this
State TO commit the crime of treason, in obey.
| ing which and my men would deserve to be
hung, at least forfeit all rights OF citizen
shin. To resist the United States authorities
| is punishable with fine and at least one years
| Imprisonment, and the penalty for the crime
| of treason is deseryedly death. The members
of my company are principally Irish, and
| noted as a people for their loyalty; they will
do nothing at my bidding that will impair
their name as good and loyal citizens but obey
all lawful authority When legally required.
