cans will grit their teeth, and curse their fate
when they are told thnt Mai Anderson must
surrender this Fort, and that it shall be a mill

officers are to all intcuts and purposes our pris.

possession Of the Fort, but we had rather see
these red"ubtable heroes march out subject to
our bidding, at our instance and under our
control.
