sent to our prisoners in Richmond did
not reach them; hut that they did reach
Gordonsville, and we're, of course, eonver-

also believed that some 5, 1000 Of our prison

able to pursue an enemy now supposed to
be completely routed, the belief is that
this practically ends the heavy fighting

friends Of Liberal principles, a5 guafAn-

that it is loyal men that constitute Stsle,
is likely to prove substantially the ground
adopted.
