here are few of the kind here now, and
of course they cordially patronize and
symrathize with Failandigham and his
followers Their regrets over Federal
success are mutual and outspoken. One
of Vallandigham' particular friends,
with whom he is frequently in close con-
ference, formleTy a residence of New Or

fastened on to TulIahoma, and offered q
battle there but the enemy declined it.
and for fear of being aanked, we retired
to Chattanooga.
