ment law will be resisted. Indeed, this was once done, and the State defauted the attempt and held the road. You can find the proceedings on file in the War Department, detad about one year ago. The only hope, then, it seems to me, is to appeal to Governor Vance on the subject, and endeavor to obtain the consent of the State. With this view I shall defer action for further advice.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

BRAXTON BRAGG.
