liberty.
General Fremont’s Account of the Sur-
render of Lexington.
The following is the text of the original telegram
of General Fremont to Washington, relative to the
surrender at Lexington:
Headquarters, Westers Department, i
St. Louis, Sept. 28. J
To Col. E. D, Townsend, Adjutant General :
I have intelligence from Brookfield, that Lexing
ton has fallen into -General Price’s hands, he
having cut oiT Mulligan’s supply of water. Rein
forcements, four thousand strong, under Gen.
Sturgis, by the capture of the ferry-boats, had no
means of Grossing the river in time. Gen. Lane’s
force from tho southwest, and Col. Davis’ from the
southeast, upwards of eleven thousand in all, could
not get there in tiino. I am taking tho field myself,
and nope to destroy the enemy either before or
after the junction of the force under Gen. McCul
loch. Please notify the President immediately.
John C. Fremont.
Major General Commanding.
Movements at Jefferson City.
The Missouri Democrat contains a special de
spatch frail). Jefferson City, dated September 24th,
12 M., which gays :
The steamers Graham and Northerner hare
just arrived here with troops, and will, I am in
formed, proceed on up to Lexington. Some eight
or twelve steamers are said to be behind them with
troops.
Major General Fremont is expected here to •
day. Gen. J. C. Davis is to go forward to-day to
take command of our troops above here.
The steamer latan has just arrived from Boone
ville. She reports that the troops sent up on the
Dos Moines and White Cloud are encamped
there, and that there are no rebels or rebel batte
ries this side of Cambridge and Brunswick, above
Booneville. However, a severe fight is expected,
at either Cambridge or Brunswick before our
troops and steamers can pass. The steamers are
well supplied with artillery, and our troops are of
sufficient force, if necessary, to disembark and wipe
out the rebels in the rear.
The troops Sent up by railroad from hers for the
last few days are encamped at Sedalia and Syra
cuse. The cars to day will run as far as Syracuse,
when Ge?ieral Davis will take command, and
move rapidly on Lexington, via Booneville.
The utmost confidence exists here yet that the
Federal forces will catch Sterling Price in a.
net Of his own making, and that ere ten days
art over he Will be compelled to surrender with
his whole force.
IVe want here vigorous forward movements, in
order to keep up the morale and stamina of our
troops.
General Sturgis is now reported to be moving on
Glasgow. If he is reported correctly, then a
junction will be formed with General Davis, and all
can be made right by moving an overwhelming
force on Price.
McCulloch is making forced marches to form a
junctien with Price. His course is very erratic
and meandering, as it is his policy to keep out of
the reach of the Federal troops, and to make a
sudden swoop with Price.
He may go a hundred or two hundred miles out
of his direct path in order to do so. If strong
enough, he will make an attack on the capital.
His force is reported at 23,000 men, well armed,
drilled, and with fine artillery. His troops are
Texans, Louisianians, Mississippians, Tennesseans,
and Arkansas men. They must not he underrated,
as they are all said to be well disciplined and des
perate men, who know that if defeated all chances
for retreat are cut off.
Jackson’s men are mostly mounted. Their arms
are mostly double-barreled shot-guns, mingled
with the okl .fashioned rifle. Experience has shown
us that at close quarters these shot-guns are very
deadly, as they carry very large buck-shot, and at
a quarter of a mile distance they scatter and take
eflect. A musket ball will hit one man—seldom
more—while one of these will disable half a dozen
men or more atone fire. Jackson & Co. hare been
bringing these shot-guns from England for the last
year. They are made of the best English material,
and are what are known as stub and twist.
The Surrender of Lexington.
We find in the Chioago Post some further parti
culars of the surrender of Lexington, as follows :
Six different times during the siege the rebels
were allowed to approach the entrenchments on the
side next the city to the edge of the ditch. AVhen
a regiment had got sufficiently near, our boys in
side woald explode a mine, sending them up into
the air, and hurling them promiscuously in every
direction, slaughtering them by hundreds. Six
mines wero thus exploded under their feet, and
they evidently began to regard that side of the en
trenchments as a dangerous locality.
Immediately after the charge in which Col. White
was killed, Major Baker, of Col. Peabody’s
Home Guards, planted a flag of truce on the
entrenchments. Col. Mulligan immediately
ordered it to be taken down. It was taken down,
and the firing recommenced, and continued until
four o’clock, when Capt. Graham, of the nome
Guards, again put up the flag of truce, and the
whole force of Home Guards left the trenches, re
fusing to continue the fight.
Wo wore out of water and out of ammunition,
three of our cannon had been silent since the day
before for want of shot; our men had only six
rounds of balls left. The reinforcements wc had
expected had not arrived, and we had reason to
believe they had been cut off. It was evident we
could sot hold out much longer.
When the firing ceased the rebels sent in a flag
from their battery, and Col. Mulligan sent Major
Moore to Price’s headquarters. Price came up in
person and recoived the surrender.
A day or two previously, Price had sent a flag of
truce to us, and offered if we would surrender to
permit us to march out with our arms, hut Col.
Mulligan promptly refused the offer.
The rebels took from us everything exoept the
clothes on our backs, and hurried us across the
river Saturday morning. The swords of the officers
were not taken away. Price said to Col. Mulligan
that he was too brave a man to be deprived of nis
sword, and permitted him to retain it. Mulligan
wept like a child when he found he must give up
the battle which he had fought for four days with
out ceasing, against an army of 31,000 men.
All the round shot we had were cast by ourselves
at an iron foundry in the city. We continued this
work until the rebels took possession of the town.
The rebels had fifteen or sixteon cannon, and
seemed to be well supplied with ammunition, round
shot, grape, and canister. Their small arms were
principally shot guns and squirrel rifles. They had
only a few muskets with bayonets, taken from our
troeps at Springfield.
During tne entire time, from the battle on the
12th to the surrender on the evening of the 20th,
we neither saw nor beard of reinforcements. We
knew that Gen. Haines, with about 10,000 men,
had been sent out to intercept and out off any re
inforcements that might be approaching from the
. west and northwest, and we had reason to believe
that Ben McCulloch had forces near the river be
low us for a Ilk© purpose. Had they not been
intercepted and whipped, we could conceive of no
good reason why reinforcements had not arrived
two or three days before. We knew, or at least
believed, they had had ample notice of our situa
tion. Two messengers had been sent to Jefferson
City, but nothing was heard from either of them
afterward.
There is no truth, nor shadow of truth, in the
statement published in certain' newspapers that
Col. Mulligan, in reply to Price’s summons to sur
render, tolu him to “go toh —11.” The first sum
mons we had from Price was a cannon ball; the
reply to it was another.
The Loss at Lexington >
The Missouri Democrat says
The loss on the rebel side, and Mulligan’s loss, at
Lexington, are both greatly exaggerated.
Not over 150 were lost on Mulligan’s side, nor
moro than 300 on the rebels’ side. Mulligan was
foroed to give up for want of water and reinforce
ments. lie had no vinegar, as reported in the Re
publican . HU forces were sour enough without
that.
The Attempts to Reinforce Mulligan.
The Missouri Democrat in an article defending
Gen. Fremont from the charge of neglecting to re
inforce Col. Mulligan, says:
So soon as it was apparently the intention of Price
to atiaok Lexington, every effort that could have
been made to reinforce it was made, and StUTgis’
army arrived in time to do so, and would have suc
ceeded could they have crossed the river; but the
very ferry boats collected there under tho guns of
the fort for the purpose of crossing Sturgis’ army,
four thousand strong, had fallen into the hands of
tho enemy, and left them idle spectators on the op
posite bank of the river.
Lane, with a force of over eight thousand men,
pressed on with all the vigor possible from tho
sonthwest. Smith, with a force of one thousand,
hurried down from St. Joseph; and Jeff Davis had
orders to break through the enemy’s lines, and
hurry OD from Georgetown without transportation,
with a force of over seven thousand men. Besides
these, twe boats, with guns and over a thousand
men, went up the river in order to destroy the
masked batteries which lined its banks. In fact,
such is the disposition of the Federal troops at this
moment. They have so hemmed in Price that he
will be obliged to give battle or surrender. In any
event, his fate is scaled, as it is the first time since
tho war began in Missouri that the United States
forces could meet the enemy in anything like ap
proaching to equal numbers. it * it
For the first time within Fremont’s short teTm r
two months, ho is in a position to assume the offen
sive, and we must not he considered enthusiastic
if 'ice say that within, three or four weeks there
will not he an open enemy m Missouri,
AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.
John C. Breckinridge on the Wing.
The Louisvillo Journal of the 25th says:
We learn from Alt. Sterling that on Friday morn
ing, about 4 o’clock, a buggy, containing two gen
tlemen and a negro boy, passed through that town,
stopping for a few minutes at the house of an ex
official, and took the State road towards the Vir
ginia line.
Several gentlemen met the buggy on the road.
One of the travellers was closely muffled, and
whenever they were about meeting any one the
negro hoy raised himself so as to cover the mnf
fled fig-itre. One of the Secessionists in Mt. Ster
ling revealed the fact on Friday that John C. Breck
inridge had gone through on his way to Virginia or
Tennessee. Lincoln’s “Hessian oloak ”is forever
eclipsed now.
The ex-official at whose house the travellers
called was not in Mt. Sterling on Friday night. A
number of the State Guard stole a portion of
the State arms on Friday , after dark, and started
on the road the buggy had taken. Perhaps they
accompanied Breckinridge and his companion
as a body-guard .
Outrages Committed by Gen. Buckner.
The Louisville Democrat says: General Buckner
is showinghis infamous character in its usual shape.
He has been devastating all along his route in a
manner perfectly consistent with his previous acts
in destroying bridges and other private property.
Messrs. Smith & Craddock, of Hart county, had one
thousand bags of wheat. Immediately upon the
arrival ofQcn, Buckner, he seized this wheat, and
shipped it to Camp Boone, upon the ground that
Craddock was a “ Union” man. The same denun
ciation goes on every where. A scoundrel paints
out any one as in favor of the Union, and imme
diately another treasonable scoundrel turns his
force upon him, and every bit of his property is
seized, down tio tin cups, and his family turned
adrift, while those whose duty it was to provide for
them are arrested and imprisoned.
Old Fort Jefferson.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat,
writing from Old Fort Jefferson, Ky., says :
Our stand-point is the most advanced guard Of
our grand Western army. Old Fort Jefferson,
now in ruins, stands near the banks of the Missis
sippi, on the Kentucky side, six miles below Cairo,
Illinois. There are three regiments of infantry,
Swart’s light artillery battery, and two compa
nies of cavalry encamped here at present. Co
lumbus, Ky., lies some fourteen miles below us,
and is occupied by the famous rohel generals, Polk
and Pillow, with about 15,000 troops, poorly
clothed, but well supplied with a powerful artillery
and numerous cavalry. Norfolk, Missouri, lies
directly across the river from us, and is garrisoned
by two Illinois regiments and Buell’s battery.
This part of Kentucky, called Jackson’s Pur
chase, including all west of the Cumberland river,
is peopled by a rude rural population, three-fourths
of whom are “ Secesh.”
The Fight at BarbonrsvillGf
We find in the Frankfort Comsiionweallh, of the
24th instant, a letter, giving the particulars of the
fight at Barboursville :
London, Sept. 20,18G1.
On the evening of the 18th, about fifty of the
cavalry of the rebels came down to the bridge
above London, at W. B. Anderson’s tan yard. The
citizens anticipated their coming, and tore up the
puncheons from the frame of the bridge, and they
could not pass. There were some thirty of the
Home Guard guarding the bridge ; the Seeeshers
fired at them ; they returned the fire, wounding
three. None of ovr men were hurt. The cavalry
scampered off. They watched the bridge all night ;
there was a fog in the morning, and about day
light the cavalry returned, three hundred in
number, and fired upon those who were watching
the bridge ; the fight commenced ; the cavalry
were supported by their whole force, consisting
Of three thousand infantry; the Home Guard re
pulsed them twice, and although only twenty-one
of the Home Guard stood the fire, they say they
could easily have kept them in cheok at the bridge,
but they went back, crossed the gut back about
one-fourth of a mile, made their way around, came
up the town, and upon their rear, by the street
Where Sawyer’s office Stands, and upon the rear of
the Home Guard, intending to surround them.
When our boys saw that, they escaped through
Rich. Tuggle's corn field, and made their escape;
one was shot through the ear, and one through the
top of the shoulder—both slight flesh wounds. The
number of the rebels killed was about thirty, they
suppose, and about twelve mortally wounded.
Colonel Rains, the commander of the rebel forces,
is certainly killed; one captain, and ono lieutenant;
the privates are guessed at They drove a wagon
down, loaded it with their dead, and the blood
was strewn all along the road, from the wagon, for
miles. This is the best fight of the war. One
hundred more men, who would have fought like
this glorious little hand of twenty-one, would
have whipped this army of three thousand three
hundred. We ascertained their number by their
own acknowledgments after the battle, and the
fact that the lane, from the bridge to Mrs. Pogue's
house, was thick with men, six deep, for one half
mile.
What the Rebels are doing in Kentucky.
The Cincinnati Gazette , of the 25th, says :
An interview with a gentleman of this city, who
visited Nashville about two weeks sinco and re
turned yesterday, has plaoed us in possession of
some Interesting particulars relative to the progress
of the rebellion in Southern Kentucky.
Our informant left Nashville Friday on a train
of cars which only ran as far as the State line.
Here he was compelled to remain over night, and
although he would have cheerfully paid any rea
sonable price for supper and lodgings, he was glad
at last to find an empty freight ear, where he en
deavored to snatch a few hours repose.
The next day another train, loaded with soldiers,
oame up from Nashville, and jumping aboard, he
was carried to Bowling Green, where he says there
is a rebel camp of ten thousand men. On Sunday
he availed himself of the opportunity presented by
the passage of another train conveying troops, and
came in to within three miles of MuufordsviUe,
where there is another camp of twelve or fourteen
hundred men. From this point to Munfordsville
he came on foot, and thence to Now Haven, on the
Lebanon branch of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, in an old lumber wagon which he and
five others were fortunate enough to obtain, and
for the use of which they paid thirty-six dollars,
walking half the distance, lest the rotten old vehi
cle should break down and leave them in the woods.
From New Havon to Louisville he came by cars,
and was informed that that was the last train that
would be run on the branch road.
The railroad from Munfordsville to tho State
line is closely guarded, and travellers without
passes are not allowed to proceed at all, while those
with passes are strictly searched at every station.
He confirms the report that those leaving Tennessee
and other rebellious States are not permitted to
take with them any considerable amount of money.
There are still at Nashville, and all points between
that abd the rebel outposts, many persons awaiting
an opportunity to come North. At Mnnfordsville,
about one hundred and fifty were anxious to share
with him his seat in the rickety old vehicle that
carried him to New Haven.
Our informant says the troops in camp at Bowl
ing Green and Munfordsville are exclusively from
Kentucky, and thinks his opportunities for ascer
taining the truth warrant him in defying the tele
graphic story that there arc two regiments of Vir
ginians in the State. All the rebel soldiers he saw
were dressed in gray uniforms, and closely re
sembled many of our own. He says the general
impression among them is, that twenty thousand
Federal troops have possession of Muldrangh’sHill;
but, notwithstanding, they have tho utmost confi
dence in the ultimate success of the South, and be
lieve that Louisville will be in their hands before
many weeks elapse.
Business in Nashville is exceedingly dull, of
couiso, although there has been n great rush thcro
for goodg from the South. The shelves of the mer
chants, however, are now nearly empty, and but
little is doing. Coffee is sixty-five cents per pound,
and everything else, unless of domestic manufac
ture, in proportion. Tho blockade is slowly but
surely doing its work.
THE ARMY IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Operations in Cheat Mountain—Official
Report of Gen. Reynolds.
Headquarters FmsT Brigade, I. V. M., 1
Elk Water, Sept. IT, 1861. J
To Geo. L. Hahtstjff, Assistant Adjutant
General Department Ohio—Sir; The opera
tions of this brigade for the lost few days may be
summed up as follows: On the I2th Inst, the ene
my, vine thousand strong, with eight to twelve
pieces of artillery, under command of Gen. R.
E. Lee, advanced on this position by the Hunters
ville pike. Our advanced pickets—portions of the
Fifteenth Indiana and Sixth Ohio—gradually fell
back to our main picket station; two companies of
the Seventeenth Indiana, under Col. Hascall,
checking tho enemy’s advance at the Point Moun
tain Turnpike, and then felling back on the regi
ment which occupied n very advanced p<»ition on
our right front, and which were new w. 6 f 6< *
enemy threw into the woods on our left front three
regiments who made their way to the right and
rear of Cheat Mountain, took a position on the
road leading to Huttonville, broke the telegraph
wire, axd cut off our communication with Coloae
TWO CENTS.
Kimball's .fourteenth Indiana Cavalry on Cheat
Sammit. Simultaneously another forco o? the
onemy, of nbout equal strength, advanced by the
Staunton pike, on the front of Cheat Mountain,
and threw two regiments to the right and rear of
Cheat Mountain, which united with the three regi
ments from the other column of the enemy. This
two posts. Choat Sammit and Elk Water, are seven
miles apart by a bridle path over the mountains,
and eighteen miles by the wagon roads, via Hut
tonville. "Cheat Mountain Pass," the formor
headquarters of the brigade, being at the foot of
the mountain, ten miles from the summit. The
enemy advancing toward the pass, by wbieh he
might possibly have obtained the rear or left of Elk
Water, was mot there by three companies of the
Thirteenth Indiana, ordered - up- for that purpose,
and by one company of the' Fowvteenth Indiana
from the sammit. These four companies engaged
and gallantly hold in check greatly superior num
bers of the enemy, foiled himin his attempt to ob
tain the rear or left of Elk Water, and threw him
into the rear and right of Cheat Mountain, the com
panies retiring to the pass at the foot of the moun
tains.
The enemy, about 5,000 strong, were closed in
on Cheat Mountain, and became engaged with de
tachments of the Fourteenth Indiana, Twenty
fourth and Twenty-fifth Ohio, from the .Summit, in
all only about 300, who, deployed in the wood, held
in check and killed many of the enemy, who did
not at any lime succeed in getting sufficiently near
the field redoubt to give Dunn's Battery an oppor
tunity of firing into him. So matters; rested at
dark on the 12th, with heavy forces in front and in
plain sight of both posts, communication cut off,
and the supply train for the mountain, loaded with
provisions which were needed, waiting for an op
portunity to pass up the road. Determined to force
a communication with CheaLl ordered the Thir
teenth Indiana, under Col. Sullivan, to cut their
way, if necessary, by the mail Toad, and the greater
part of the Third Ohio and Second Virginia, under
Colonels Manon and Moss respectively, to do the
same by the path; the two commands starting at
3 o’clock A. M., on the 13th; the former from
Cheat Mountain Pass, and the latter from Elk
Water, so as to fall upon the enemy, if possible,
simultaneously. Early on the 13th, the small forco
of about three hundred from the summit engaged
the enemy, and with such effect that, notwithstand
iDg’his greatly superior numbers, he retired in great
haste and disorder, leaving large quantities of
clothing and equipments on the ground, and our
relieving force failing to catch the enemy, marched
to the summit, securing the provision train, and re
opening our communication. While this was taking
plaoe on the mountain, and, as yet, unknown to us,
tho enemy, under Leo, advanced en Elk Water,
apparently for a general attack; one rifled ten
pound Purrott gun, from Loomis’ Battery, was run
to the front three-fourths of a mile, and delivered
a few shots at the enemy, doing fine execution,
causing him to withdraw out of convenient range.
Our relative positrons remained unchanged until
near dark, when we learned the rcsnltof the move
ment on the mountain, as above stated, and the
enemy retired somewhat for the night.
On the l-frh, early, the enemy was again in posi
tion in front of Elk Water, and n. few rounds, sup
ported by a company of tho Fifteenth Indiana,
were again administered, which caused him to
withdraw as before. The forceß that had beon
before repulsed from Cheat returned, and were
again driven back by a comparatively small force
from the mountain. The Seventeenth Indiana was
Ordered up the path to open communication and
make way for another supply train, but, as before,
found the little band from the summit had already
done the work. Daring the afternoon ef -tho 14 th
the enemy withdrew from before Elk Water, and
is now principally ooncentrated some ten miles
from this post, at or near his main camp. On the
loth he appeared in stronger force than at any
previous time in front of Cheat, and attempted a
flank movement by the left, but was driven back
by the evor-vigila»t and gallant garrison of the
field redoubt on the summit. To-day the enemy
has also retired from the front of Cheat, but to
what precise position lam not yot informed. The
results of these affairs are, that we have killed
near one hundred of the enemy, including
Colonel John A. Washington , aid-de-eamp to

MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
Operations; on. the Southern Coast.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune ,
writing from Fortress Monroe, under date of Sept.
24tb,says;
It is understood that Flag-Officer Goldsborough
expects at an early day to concentrate the largest
fleet ever seen in American waters, with the
view of active operations on the coast. The
Saline arrived this morning, making, with the
Minnesota. , the Roanoke, the St. Lawrence, the
Congress, five first-class frigates, beside several
gunboats, how in the roads. The Cumberland is
still at Newport News. We hear nothing more of
tho Yorktown, and only wish that the ghostly
Merrimack and the rest of the rebel craft would
make thair appearance.
Six schooners and two gunboats left for Hatteras
yesterday, but the stress of weather caused ono of
each to return. I presume the schooners are for
closing the channel of Oregon and Ooracoke Inlets.
The gunboat Flag has also left for Hatteras. Sho
draws,too much water to go over the "Swash - ’
into the sound.
The Expedition to Charleston
The New York Tribune says: Gen. Sherman’s
expedition to the Southern coast will sail within
three weeks at tho furthest. Fifteen or twenty re
giments will have the privilege of going to Charles
ton. as tho principal officers in command believe.
or to Mobile or New Orleans, as others conjecture’
Gen. Yield's brigade—five regiments, now in camp
here—will form a part of the force, and will go to
Fortress Monroe, to sail thence, within a few days.
One of Gen. Vielc’s regiments, the Third New
Hampshire, Col. Fellows, was encamped a week
on Long Island, after the Herald sent it South
through Plum Gut, and was then ordered here.
Gen. Sherman will not strike the only blow on the
scacoast.
More Reports-from the Enemy.
A New Yorker, a deserting lieutenant from the
rebel army, escaped from Freestone Point, was
taken to Washington on Wednesday. He says the
rebels have 10,000 men at Freestone Point, 30,000
between there and Manassas, and large numbers
along the river to Matthias, and can entirely de
stroy navigation, while the force on the Potomac is
about ISO,OOO, well provided with cannon and plenty
of food. He further says the rebels intend to cross
the Potomac above and below Washington, and si
multaneously attack in front and rear.
He alleges that the battery at Freestone Point is
commanded by Henry J. Hartstein, formerly a
commander in tho United States navy, and that
there are batteries on the Virginia side of tho Po
tomac every two and a half miles from Oceoquan to
Mathias Point.
The river is now considered by naval officers as
effectually closed. Our Potomac flotilla is insuffi
cient to clear it of the numerous batteries upon its
banks.
“ Deserters” from the Rebels.
A correspondent, ‘IC.,” writes to us that he
protests against the term “ deserter from the
rebels.” He contends that “a man is not a de
serter whose conscience, honesty, good sense, or
revived love of his.country ; whose respect for the
laws of God and of men ; whose respect for his own
character and for himself, compel him to abandon
a gang of traitors, thieves, incendiaries, perjurers,
braggarts, murderers, who assassinate in the dark
solitary sentinels. The man who leaves such pol
luted associates, with whom he had been seduced
by deception, or forced by compulsion or threats,
to unite, and who comes from the bad cause and
evil men to the good.cause, and to the society of
good men, is not a deserter ; he does a righteous,
meritorious act, for which he deserves commenda
tion and applause. Those whom he has quitted
are deserters ; those who have been educated at
the expense of tho country, and sworn to support,
defend, and maintain, the country and the
Constitution against all enemies; those ingrates,
who have been promoted to military or naval
offices; who have been for years fod and
ptdd by the country, are sliaiqef'ul deserters,
and those are also perjured deserters who have
been incautiously elevated to civil positions of trust
and confidence, swearing allegiance to the country,
the Government, the Constitution, and the laws,
which they have violated and betrayed, and who
have abused the opportunities afforded by their
positions to speculate upon the lands belonging to
tho nation, and, above all infamies, to pillage the
treasury, to rob the mints and custom houses, to
seize the forts, and, as the climax of atrocity, to
foment rebellion and treason, preparing means for
perpetrating both by removing the national arms
and munitions from tho loyal sections, which they
intended to injure, placing tho implements of war
in the localities where they designed to inaugurate
rebellion. Such men are dishonored deserters and.
traitors, lost to all sense of honor, honesty, and. de
cency.
“Those who abandon the polluted ranks, and
return to good faith and patriotism, deserve praise,
not an opprobrious epithet. They will be lauded
by mankind, and will be hereafter rewarded by
the great and just God."
