MI SEGuR the Union memJer of Congress-
from Virginia, has written letter to NJ MIor-
General DIX, warmly approving the terms Of
his recent proclamation TO the people of tho

crn people, by their designing leaders, that the
wsr is designed TO Interfere with sliycry, aud
that knowledge Of the real object of the Cow
