The following paragraph, originally
published in the Union Ala.) Times,
written after the publication of the IN
famous General Order No. IA, is rather
severe on the parties named:
Butler turned thief at the start; Tur-
chin was a natural born imp of perdi-
ton; Thomas has displayed remark
able aptitude for giving white peoples
churches to his black betters; Sherman
found the torch a more eongenial weap-
on to his unknightly nature than the
sword Grant tried to be a politician,
and failed as signally as when he at
tempted to defeat Lee fairly; and now
one of the small fry, a short tailed, sill
my tadpole Of the latter spawn, the
blathering disgrace of an honest father,
an everlasting libel upon his Irish
blood, the scorn of brave men and the
synonym Of infamy, Major General
Phil. H. Sheridan, has added his name
to this list of outrages upon humanity
by the issue of General Order No. IA,
Military Division of the Cult.
