Hon. Geo. w. Jones'


We are glad to see on our streets
again our Representative, Hon. Geo
w. Jones. As far as We have seen,
his course in the Confederate Con.
gsess was such as to commend him to
the good will Of bis constituents
On the subject Of increasing ibepay
Of priyates il the army, be agreed
with US, we believe, that the advance
should be voted. Aud ifall his other
votes we're as just as that, no excep.
>tion to his course, in our opinion,
ought to be taken.
