Statistics recently published by the Smithsonian Institute show that the full-blooded Yankee dies within 24 hour if prevented from telling his usual allowance of lies...A difficulty has occurred between Hooker & Siegel which resulted in the latter's resignation & departure home...The Yankee marauders...plundering, killing cattle & devastating right & left in their customary amiable style.

Mosby of General Fithugh Lee's Cavalry perpetrated a charming joke upon a parcel of Yankees at Fairfax Court House..." with much more
