a military contribution levied
Gen. Dodge; and that, too. a trivial
significant one, in comparison with
g one Gen. Early levied on York,
backed and enforced by a North
brigade. Let Ewell. Early,
ID Dodge be held responsible for the
ilitary CONTRIBUTIONS; such are en-
consistent with the rules and
ages of civIlz-d warfare. Whether
ey are excessive or unjust under the
rcumstances. Is question now solely

ON Iowa Gorgia or North Carolina
shall not vote for Weaver, but not on
count of his war record.
