tory, and by constructing military works on
the Missouri shore i'm lediately opposite and
commandiud Columbus, evidently intended
to cover the landing of troops for the SEIZURE
of that town, it has became military ne.
cessity for the defence of the territory Of the
Confederate States that Confederate forces
occupy Columbus in advance. The Major
General commanding has therefore not fell

it and in pursuance of this decision he has
thrown sufficient force into the town and or.
dered to fortify it.

them that every precaution will be taken tt
insure their quiet and the protection of theil
property, with their personal and corporate
rights tls
