eminent military post site at Mag
nolia Bluff. The secretary OF war has
designated this as q military post In conn

be furnished without delay. ana has tn
structsd Mr.. William II. Brsnker. United

examination OF title. We are unable to
comply with his request until the confirm
alton OF the sale referred TO. IL Is evil
dent from the information furnished ny
Senator Watson c. Squire that the gen.
erai government is prepared 10 expend q
large amount of money IN Improvement
of this post. and Is anxious to make provi-

This is matter IN which the people OF the
