yesterday from Captain Peale and 9TH
ers of his company, giving the crafty
ing assurance that the whole COM

safety with the single exception of
Charles A. Mural, who is missing, and

or taken prisoner. Captain Pea1e
gives a glowing account of the yalor
displayed by the Connecticut regi-
ments on the field. He does not say
start for home.
On Thursday morning, July %, we
understand that James Jennings over
heard a loud conversation in the street
near the garden where he was at work
and heard one of the disputants say:
Il hope every northern man who has
gone into Virginia in the army will be
killed. These were hard words in
the ears of a man who had lost a son
in the cause. The speaker was on his
way from Fra nklin square to the works
near the car factory How long will
he of al h nrt
of thing to go on? Let's wipe away all
this treason which flaunts itself in our
faces, or teach it silence. Who starts
a Hemp club? Who?
