"Hal ha! /" sed he "Dina had baby last night, and
I've got 20 niggers Hurrah for JEFF Davis and the

Davis"
So one little niger effected that the doctors
couldn't Jake lucky, but 'spose that baby dies:
suggested this to Jake and he begun to have Conscpbus
pains agin; but finally of his nggers should
die; and off he went to another doctor and git cerf

Mr. Printer is it tresun to speak of peace! If not why

Wore gon' out to fife for the niger, leaving their

the families of soldiers and crush the last cent
out of them for crust of breds Truth may be tresou
now but I'll speak it-and Patrick Henry sed if it be
treson make the most it. I'm Pnebur Moccasn and
sponsibe for what say, and gty rascal need try to
git off the plea of ty conshuns by saying I'm not re-

not under sieh circumstances becum to shoot

and it seems likely that that contest is cummin on if
peace does not cum Will soldiers remain

P.S-pve jest heard that Virginia V. has bin
appinted to collect tenth part of produce If it is So
will our people submit to it? Hasn't North Carolina al
redy submitted to enuf? Has she not suffered enu in
and blood and tresur without havin this ndgnity this
shame this disgrace put upon her? Call for her blood and
she will gios it; but call for her dshonor and then her
blood will not be girsn but it will be sold at dear price
to tie purchaser. These my sentiments When orig
na reacea6le war men-pompous, virgiuans- rascaily
Plug Ugles. and sneakng little Yankee Washington City
Clerks to fill all peaceaNe Offices, think it is
time to do sumthn for ourselves and tell the truth
| even at tho risk of bein called traitor. Pm.
