,, treated by the Major and his officers with
-,.4c kindness and consideration, and they
lax marked pains to show him everything
stout the establishment, nor did he enJoIn
..7.sy upon him At all, and spoke i'll condcm-
-l.lJl Of the thousand false reports in circu-
auJu about himself, and, also, of the many
bs-Qs letters purportlnS to he from him. Mr.
ty5a got tLe impression, perhaps, directly
.gm the Major and officers, that they sympa-
-zrl with the South, and would never, If
possible 10 avoid 1t, come ill deadly conflict
With their brethren OF the South. But all
