and to learn those remaining really loyal Unionisis
or secessloniss. Ny own opinion is that there

every citizen is locked upon with disrust. The stricest
vigilance and watch kept Of all the Of
those in any way suspected No compulson is made by
Gen. Wright those found here towards making them
take the of allegiance but verbal promise is re-
quired of them that they will IN no way communicate

Among the captured goods taken and being taken is con-
siderable private property such pitch molasses whis

to say having appropriated others property as a pro
