The one hundred day men ara coming

nens Republicans think, aud 20 express
themselves, that Governor Mortons last
call was unnecessary, aud will work de-
trinent TO the agricultural Interest Of
the S.ats --Iad Chr. Gin Eng 6fk.

The paragraphs above quoted are
absolute falshoods: the citizens of the

untitled companies, and thirty two full
companies, making 1000 in aIl, reported
to the government Does that look like
coldness, ike a gloomy apathy When
