The Senator General obtained authority to

filed with officers from Colonel down. tut
the men were few and far between.
The Governor then related how he Was
denounced by Lane as disloyal, and even
the officers at Fort Leavenwoath, where
General Hunter was in command, came
under his malediction. After Lane pro-
claimed himself Brigadier-General by APP
pointment OF the President and verified by
proclamation by the latter. the Governor
