G' The New Orleans True Delta speaks
kindly of the northern newspapers 1t says:
All the devils Of Northern newspaperdom are
in full carnival They threaten, stamp their feet
in rage, foam at the mouth, and blasphemously
invoke the sacred name of God to give point
and energy to their fury.
u The condition of Eastern Virginia may
be inferred from O statement in the Richmond
Examiner. In advocating the propriety of for
tifying Richmond, that paper says that there
are five hundred slaves in that city for whom
their masters can find no work aud but little
food.

F The saying that "whom the gods woult
destroy they first make mad" was never better
e1emplifed than by the following paragraph
from the Richmond Dispatch:
