have them so long on the way, and still
more provoking that some of them don't

fhe movements Of the secessionists
still progress. Louisiana, for which we
paid France fifteen millions of dollars
directly, and for which many millions
more have been paid Indirectly, has fol-

the United States Forts and Arsenals
within that State. 4 beautiful illustra-

traitor Secretary Of war, shipped the
United States arms in immense quianti
ties to the South, and among others sew
enty FIVE thousand stan1 Of extra arms
to the arsena1s Of New Orleans. These
were seized by Che traitors Of Louisiana,
as vas intended they should be. 8 There
