Squads OF old steadfass were to be met with here
and there contabbing of COURSE on the great bat
tie that to be fought shortly and the recognition

struction to be placed on the order No. u, dated
26th inst, issued from the Commanding General Of
this Military Department. 1t reads as5foows

Balze, to forward a mail to Washington Accord

klddell has no right TO make up mail for the
Northern States, and in doing so vic ates the laws
of war as well as treating the order of the Com
