tended to act fairly and make complete ex-
pose of the whole thing. That if the arrest
of himself and confinement had been post

able to have fixed the guilt Of the whole trans.
action from its inception where it properly
belongs.

81 pieces of artillery, mostly and 12 poun-
dcrs. He effected crossing of the river at
Cyprus creek, 2O4 miles below Florence. Ala,
which point was better suited than any be-
along the river for the purpose. As yet there
are no developments Of his situation, at least
nothing that will throw light upon Hoods
movements. He has no supplies save such
as he collects in the country as he proceeds.

being made to receive him, and he will be
overwhelmed before 10 knows it. The well
