Union and the sight OF that banner-now the
emblem of tyranny and oppression--niled our
men with rage, and Immediately deternna-
ton arose to take 1t down but the interfer-
enee of our officers stopped them. In the
meanwhile, there was Spy rent from the
Unlon men, who had just passed us with
some five or six hundred strong, with some
five or six hags. all indicating oppression,
and by that means they found out that we
were unarmed and we pas sod along the
road where they had collected to something
