the Northern accounts of inhumanity to the
Northern troops, and says: - -, -.

unkind to the prisoners, with what grace does

cipitate flight from Manassas, scampered like
bufaloes away, without ever speaking on,
word Of consolation to or doing one kind ac
for their own wounded and dying, and wht
suffered the Confederates, whom they so hate
to bury even their dead, We hope to hear NJ
more of our unkindnesa; IL is too ridiculous al
