but mass of stuff-neither one thing nor another
Il 1t is only three days since that the Associated

tables to seven hundred applicants. On Friday
the general distribution Of groceries, vegetables
and breadstuits will commence.
Toward the close OF ths day it was announced

the General of this military department, in con-
Junction with oRr State Executive, to intercept the
railroads and steamboats, the4iDgress Of hordes Of
Black Republicans, spies and informers will be pre-
