The last rising of this gallant people against the col

Indeed, the movement was physically hopeless from the

Some time since delegation passed through this

through the courtesy of the press of the Confederate
States That the gentlemen compcsn~ this delegation
were acting in good anh and were all that they repre-

not have YOU ched for their appeal as we did, We know
that they wished to have the way for their exled breh

Their whole appeal was to which we could respond

with oil respect to ootemporaries the thing that
puzzles is how these people to get into the Con-
