effrontery is astounding Does it deny

A letter from Col Robert Ould, the

equivalents, and urged the necessity of
haste in sending for them, as the mortality
was terrible. did offer to deliver ten to
fifteen thousand at Savannah without de-
lay. Although this" offer was made in
August, transportation was not sent for
them until December, and during the in

greatest height. If l had not made the Of

transportation to Savannah for ten or fif-
teen thousand men? If / made the offer

The three thousand men sent to Savan-

In the Constitutional Convention of the

persons engaged in the late rebellion was
negatived. That body contains a large
majority of Republicans-many of them
being Radicals Rebels as they are
called, are not so plentiful there tdat they
are enabled to affect the result of an
election, and for this reason, we presume,
the axe Of prescription was stayed.
There are, however, some men in that
convention who have higher conceptions
of craftsmanship than the prostitution of
the organic law of community to the
purposes Of partisanship; men who are
aware that the government which seeks
to secure the confidence of the people,
should appeal to their affections, and not
