In the Mobile Evening News of Aug
ust 1861, were two very remarkable
suggestions from correspondents, who
believed they had discovered way TO
drive the Yankees out of Fort Pick
ems.
One Of these writer's advocated fill-
ing shells with equal parts of cayenne
pepper and gunpowder.
'"Those that amt killed by the ex-
plosion," lac reasoned, will find them
selves unable to get away from the
pepper, and If they stay in the fort
they can't escape coughing themselves
to death"
The other correspondent. who must
have had taste for natural history,
wrote as follows;
Let General Bragg detail few
thousand of his ten thousand to the
work of catching snakes, and ms soon
RS they have collected several cart
loads of these interesting reptiles. let

If these brilli;n suggestions were
ever carried out, history does not re-
cord the fact. though 1t was generally
believed that billy Wilson's men could
stand anything but bullets,
