YOUNG WARRIORS IN RICHMOND
AS specimen of youthful depravity in
Richmond, we take the following from the
Enquirer:
Rock battles are sources Of amusement
which many of the little boys of Richmond
cannot resist. They hear so much of real
fight, and see so many such horrors of war,
that no sooner school is out than they form
into armies and go to work thro owing
round shot in the shape of rocks, and any
sort of "shell' they can pick up. A wound
is usually succeeded by 50 bawl." which
is probably the only instance in which
their fighting materially reverses the order
of results in regular warfare Neverthe-
less, they carry their wounds proudly, and
after the swelling goes down they are point
ed to by the juvenile heroes with salts
faction indicative of their high appreciation
of the high parallel that may be drawn be-
tween them and the bullet hole.

positions have been accompanied by great
luss Of life in battle and in the hospitals
While such measures as the cor fiscation

From the moment that intelligence first
reached this country that nine states aud
