bodies of men are at Richmond, Lynch.
burg. Montgomery. New Orleans and
Pensacola. They all agree too. th.,
troops intend marching on Washington,
and that if that plan was abandoned the

the men.
All the troops captured in Texas and
released on parole. will be required to re-
new their full obligations to the Govern.
