raise troops beyond counting and send them
as fast as raised to live at free quarters on our

us, and has night to consider us, while our

But events haye rendered it useless to dis

United States to its centre His advance up
the valley, his menace of Pennsylvania and
Washington have been the first step to

the Southern armies, this WE will have at
once a1other meaning to to the North and to
