ne ala other than his whole duty in the prem
uses We trust that he will have a fair, i'm
partial trla5 and be honorably acquitted if the
iacts Will warrant; but, if he be proved guilty,
we trust he will be incxoriably shot.
That will be a light penalty for the offences
oil which he stands accused. We shall gladly
see him yindieated but, if he is guilty, we
pray the Court and President to have mercy
on the country.

General aforesaid) with having appropriated

slon ladies resident in (but probably f~usitiyes

until proved beyond question but if she ever
uld SO base q thing, we trust (since the precip-
ltate hight OF her husband left her in the hands
ofthe rebels) she will be indicted as q thief,
tired as . thief convicted as a thief, and pun
lshed as q thief. It will do her q world of
