It is supposed, however, a severe example of the great military sin of insubordination will be made as a warning to others of the same color, to the effect that mutiny is not the proper redress for grievances, whatever may be their enormity.

It has also paid half of one per cent, tax on property, and has amended the Code defining treason so as to make it applicable to those who talk treason, and almost to those who think it.
