The President has made appeal TO the people through
Congress, and mplored that the question of Union OF

be made to all who concerned In sending news BY
Geographic dispatches TO rise 10 conscientious dis

moved North and that renorcements 10 be ont Il

was lot the slightest foundation for this story. No
