of Ohio. Not an hour should be lost
On the receipt Of this paper, I sent a

c uld not be attached to The holding Of st.
Louis, by the friends Of the Union, and
regret that const utional authority, for
the appropriation could not be found by
the Legisla ure. The remedy is thus

animity, come to the support Of our Gov

viding our fl rst equipment. Many of our
men are destitude of the means to pur-
chase the necessary uniforms, blankets, do.
Having no claim on our General Govern
