was sedl out fo several of the leading
men In every county of the 8tate,
asking. their assistance in the collec
tion of daia on this scourge of our
forests. They were then told that fn
, qu tries would be' Bent out at the end
?!_ the year, and were asked to look
*at < tor Are -data ajid make notes
? from time to time, so that the list of
oaslljr ?nd fully and with greater ac
curacy.
The list of questions being sent

?The Baltimore Sun refers to this

iThe Post knows that when I*ee took I
command orthe army slavory was not;
the issue, and Lincoln had given the
distinct assuranc^that it wns-not the
purpose of the north to interfere v^Jth
-slavery. His 'purpose, he said, was to-^
preserve the Union, hnd that alone.
The South was fighting for the right
to leave the Union; and the North w?s
rfightlng to keep it from- leaving the
Union. Emancipation was merely a
move in the game of war, which had
no official endorsement when Lee
took command. It is singular how
