SOUTHERN RNsYNiPATHYIN
While the war ragged great Injustice
was done Baltimore by many OF the
southern people. Your correspondent
was among those many Virgfniars who

OF THE SOUTH.
That there is an inexplicable lack of

OF such humiliation, yet they belong to
history; and we may we'll ask here,
what VIII history say OF some recent
occurrences in the tfme-service Of the
confederates2

the late confederacy were recently re-
leased from Fort Warren. one of fhens
