Tr,- baby these rebel magnants simply mean that they themselves must be exterminated, which is quite likely to be true. Noah Webster tells us that to exterminate means, primarily to i drive srom within the limits or borders" and we shall have no peace until all malignant traitors are driven either to the ther side of Jordan or of the Rio Grande. i It is reported that Rev.Mr. Calkins, of the 1st Congregational Church.
