his Cabinet were considered good prisoners OF war
The Herald cor lectures and hopes, if Lincoln is not
taken-tbat Scott would have IS or 10000 men il and
around Washington for its protection by this time
The frantic rage Of our Northern brethren at the pros
pect of losing their prey would be very distressing, ii it
we're not so amusing Mankind cannot syupahize with
pure sei,huess Everybody through their bos-
ferrous and blood thirsty devotion TO the ULOn-that it
