SENTIMENTS on rHE rEorLr.
What shall say Of that underlying Unisn
sentiment OF which have heard and hoped

in quality and quantity. There appears TO

very friendly and sociable. When il was
known that a Brigade was to DO left here, the
citizens sent petition to Gen. Wood, asking
that Gen. Hascall's Brigade should yemain
Whether their petition will be successful oil

HEALTH.
Our resimsrt has been unusually healthy
