Gen. Pope's orders are beginning to have 4 good
effect, especially the requiring all the inbabt-
ants to take the oath of legauce, or Instantly de-
part for the South. Many Of course take the oath,
who have 40 intention Of abiding by it; but the
majority of the old Wings, who were original Union
men, will remain sieadiast, aud endure much perse-
cutiop. If the Rebel soldiers should unfortunately
ever return 70 ibis neehborhood, before they Will
again prove traitors to the original Government.
Lovd and Willis Browning, wealthy and influential
uluuers. and brothers of Senator Browning of Hi
nois, Yesterday voluntarily came up to the PROVOST
MAMMALS Office. and took The oath. They were
both Old Whigs, and at frat voted Tor the Union,
and did not vote at ~ upon the ordinance OF seces'

community that these two prominent planters had

lion from, the old Flag, almost the entire population

Government, aud have been assured that they small
