This afternoon Consul Shufeldt sent nc te

permi tied to be displayed in the manner
described, and requesting their removal

Somebody has been trying to injure her com
mander, Captain Denkin, by insisting that he

and good conduct since they have been on
duty induced Gen. Hill to make a further

to the Southern cause. The prom ptness with
which the militia have responded to the call,
the patience with which they have worked
on the fortifications, the good order and pro-

and almost without parallel
The kindness and attention of the ladies tn
the sick merit the gratitude of the troo DIS of
this command.
These proofs of loyalty show that the heart
OF the masses is right, and that an appeal
can be confidently made for an increase of
force. Under 10 ant oft tho ly~a Fo1.
