effort was made at tho headquarters In Fourth
street. es well ut all the other rendezvous
about town where Fenans do congregate,
for spiritual comfort and consolation to keep the
porters In the dark TO the dongs Of the members

ranks OF the various detachments which have
already taken their departure; and not only that,
but that they were much better armed and equipped
In every respect than the best regiment In the mill

the arms does not mean much when mentioned IN
connection with our National Guard; but the gentle-
. man evidently meant that they were equipped as
