HUNTING WHITE MEN WITH BLooD-
HoUNDs.--it has been several times sta
ted in army correspondence that in the
Southwest the rebel officers hunt desert
ers and conscript with bloodhounds, just
as they once did fugitive slaves. 1t
seemed incredible that this should be
true, as a general fact, and we presume
it was not credited but the fact is fully
confirmed by advertisements for blood
hounds in some of the Mississippi and
Alabama papers for this very purpose.
A Union cavalry officer on duty in West
Tennessee writes:
II have been out with my regiment
scouting for three weeks in the region
lying between the Tennessee and Missis-
sippi rivers, northeast of Memphis. For
the first few days, we were after guer-
rllla company, who were engaged hunt
ing up, or hunting down, conscripts with
dogs. Brutal and horrible as it may
seem, it is nevertheless strictly true, and
you may depend upon II, that at this
very hour, hundreds of the people of
West Tennessee, Mississippi and Ala
bama, are being hunted down with
bloodhounds. | could not realize it un-
til by the most positive evidence 1 found
1T true. We were almost within hearing
OF the baying of the hounds, and sent
out scouting party who came near
catching some of the devils. fthey had
been caught, they would have received
short shrift."
