said that the custom was for commanders
to give permits to bring cotton and for
military commanders to receive a per
ceutege for the permits and protection
thus afforded. These transactions had
greatly demoralized the army.
Mt, Chandler on the same occasion said
tho Seuate had deliberately voted to eon

the children of God," anil in Romans we
are further told : "itow beautiful are
