has already taken the oath. We can
not see how they have been permitted
to do this, for both are a rank which
exccpts them from the benefits of ei-
thcr President Lincoln's or John
ston's proclamations.
Gov. Magrath, of South Carolina,
has been captIred. Wade Hampton
is still at large. 1t is reported at
