\Miat, sir, mast be the feeling of him who,
living risked life, home nnd all his com toil

lihirea suffering, for want of that which his
caliber holds in plenty. This, sir, is what
ie Vuuktcs wish, and though we may gain

Come to the ariny and see men determined to

The Captaiu, after making explanations
showing that desertions irere only from conscription
ranks, and other matters, concluded
his remarks by an appeal to all to feel hopeful.
Mr. tiobe said -t! at he did not expect any
disagreement in the boase in reference to the
resolutions. There was no one who individually
would refuse to sustain both the soldiers
and the refugee families; but the evil was
