At llsgO to the command "four© right" five companies marched down the stairway and halted behind the bend. The officers, who had been strolling and chatting on the gallery covering the sidewalk, then took their positions and at precisely 12?00 noon the fu ll voice of Colonel Brooks gave the command "forward march" and the troops marched out St. Louis street to the levee and embarked on the transports for Jackson Barracks outside the city. One spectator gave the rebel yell.* Zn the St. Louis Hotel, the eapltol of Louisiana, there was also a great deal of activity. Stephen B.

After a masterly and graceful preliminary the learned historian said "I am willing to apply that criterion to Louisiana, considered both physically and historically; I am willing that my native State, which is but a fragrant of what Louisiana formerly was, should stand and fall by that test, and do not fear to approach with her the seat of judgment. I am prepared to show that her history is full of poetry of the highest order, and of the most varied nature. I have studied the subject "con amore," and with such reverential enthusiasm, and I may say with such filial piety, that it has grown upon my heart as well as upon my mind.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
