So read the dispatch. There wuz nary
a cheer follered it. The most death-like
silence pervaded the rooms. One by one,
the members skulked out to settle with the
niggers, whose beds they he'd bustid In the
mornin, and to ashoor EN- it wuz all a joke.
The lists wuz destroyed and the revolvers

it to the President. "Hell Pr sed he"

Concludin that my offishel duties pre-

Moo Orleans, I fastened North agin with
all speed. Jest ez wuz leavin the city. l
got another dispatch Stain that Hancock
wuz appinted to Sheridan's place. Ididnt
consider the nooze sufisheRtly cheerin to
indoose me to 60 back agin. I feel that
men Nv my opinions is safer in Kentucky
than any where else. Kentucky didn't Sc
cede, and therefore, within her borders Sc
cesshenists are safe. Thank the Lord for
Kentucky.
They don't do johnson justice down
there tho. He wood help EN- if he Good,
but he can't. Congris tied his hands. He
kin appint this man or that man, but both
this man and that man are bound to exc
