unteer companies that intend to embark for /
the war to the South, including the Davis I
Guards, are to take passage to New Orleans 1

place of the Vckshurg. The machinery of /
the latter may be transferred TO the new

minion of the North. The Government
never had more faithful, competent, or
honest representative than Mr.. Scott
