The enemies had their head-quarters in a central and public position on Pine Street, near Fifth--from which the rebel flag was flaunted boldly.

The Union men had a place of meeting somewhere in the city, I did not know where, and I doubt whether they dared to enrage the enemies of the government by placing the national flag outside their head-quarters.

As soon as the news of the capture of Camp Jackson reached the city the condition of affairs was changed.

Union men became rampant, aggressive, and, if you will, intolerant.

They proclaimed their sentiments boldly, and were impatient at anything like disrespect for the Union.
