DR.. L. m, ROS5VALLY.

This notorious robber and quack, this thieVing
scamp, who lately, under false pretenses, obtained
Surgeons commission for one of the Louisiana
regiments, but had that commission taken away
from him upon his character az an impostor, as
thief, and as libel upon the medical profession
being made known, we perceive has been practls
ing his deceptive talents in other quarters Tor ne

We, in New Orleans, recognize this as decidedly
rich-one of the best things of the season. But let
us publish what appeared in the Macon Citizen CT
the following day:
DIR. RoswA[yy telrgram from this gentleman to Dr.

the Mayor Of ombH in aswr 10 an inq Try as to the same

The above shows that RossvaIy is as expert at
forgery as thieying. He is only on a forg-
ing and thieving trip to the North. We only wish
that some of our Louisiana soldiers in Virginia
could catch him and put him through the "course
of sprouts" he deserves, to-wit Shave his head
clean, then horsewhp him till every inch of his vii
lanous hide spnrts blood then cover him thickly
with tar and cotton, and set fire to him and make
bonfire of him.
But Rossvally is too Sharp villain to go near any
of the Louisiana troops in Virginia. He will dodge
the LouisianiGns everywhere, and turn up quite a
celebrity in ths Abolitionist camp, as persecuted
Union man from the South, and will be honored
and promoted to some station in which he de-
ceyc and rob at will.
Though We are down on the No7therners to the
DEATH We cannot help saying to them, God save
the regiment tAal accepts ROSSValy as surgeon,
for he will surely let the wounded die if he can, in
order to rob their dead bodies of whatever he
For he tried 10 claim diamond ring on the finger
of dead man in this city, who when living be-
| leved him to be a friend.
We respectfully request all Virginia papers to
watch out for % DR.. Rosswall," DR.. Rosswaay,'
| or " DR.. IsDssvally," (the latter being his title
here) and to warn the army about him; and should
he everbe taken, we can religousy say that he has
| escaped the Louisiana penitentiary only by his
ingenuity, and that he is not entitled to the honor
of being shot Hanging is the politest death he
| deserves.
