ana would resist their doctrines, whenever the
Government fell uCGer their control, they laughed
to scOrn the suggestion. They held al the solemn
warnings of Southern men in utter coGtemDt. The
fatal delusion adhered to with partuacity that
hiss induced many TO believe that the whole Yankee

proclamation calling 70 900 men to suppress the
