The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser pro-
nounces George N. Sanders a humbug, and
says the idea that he was sent as confederate
agent to England is ridiculous. Sanders seems
to have been replenishing his empty pockets by
levylng on the credulous British sympathzers

for six months service, voted almost

controversy arising as to who should be their
Gov. Andrew did not moline at
irst to give General Cowdn his commission
He finally did so, to the great benefit of the
common cause, for he has proved brave and
capable officer on every field, and faithful to his
command The fact that tor period of thir-
