Rebels had destroyed everything they had. he wanted

our armies we should exercise and in

Saving his section from the burdens OF the draft he
hoped that after the vote IN the Senate and the mani

Mr. HOWE said the money would not answer for one
unless il answered for every man. All knew that
with money alone the war could not be carried on.
The Communication clause had stood in the way Of our
success from the beginning Of the war until row. He
