Educational interests in this State are ruined if the Democrats triumph. Don't believe the Caldwell and Bryant letters or telegrams - They are selling themselves and party. Only Republicans who helped vote out the Colored members are with Bryant. Military Commission doing well. All true republicans are satisfied to have it go on. Terry is calm and firm. Bullock appears well. Please show to President & Secretary of War.
