that tho facts arc known no alarm is

sufficiently reinforced to make his
position good against any number.
This is all there is about It.
In the m, antime more men are
now needed. Sickness and death
on the field have reduced our forces;
thousands are doing garrison duty;
and the armies in the field are too
small to do thoroughly the work re-.

however, pouring into Washington;
and by next Friday, enough will
