Glued TO Try; but with those VIM took the
same troops, made sue assault, stormed the

amount Of determination, on Christina, day,
another man might not have Won tire same
ttl' 1t l., therefore, no use u talk about that
But. after all, the things most d. uaging
TO Gen. Butler as % general, are-u5s that he
declined u order an assault which he belisv-
