resentatires ao'c an Congress assembled:
Whereqs, The United States troops have
recently been withdrawn, not only from this
county, but from most of the surrounding
counties of this section of the Shenandoah
Valley;and in view of the fact that threats
are being made from various quarters to-
wards the lives and property of loyal men,
and that in our Judgment. no protection or
justice can be had through the civil courts or
at the hands of the civil officers of the law.
Therefore, We. the undersigned, loyal
white citizens and legal voters Of Augusta

Congress of the United States give to our
case that consideration which we think is due
to us, and the permanent peace Of the coun-
try and all its loyal subjects. "
Therefore, We earnestly pray that troops
will be Immediately forwarded here, and that
such measures be adopted as will insure us
justice III all matters of claims, and all other
matters relating to us in military court, or
in any other manner deemed advisable by
Congress.
