s cursed blue; but you must send her folks down there word that she is still alive. Mr. Taylor, her uncle, has not a second change, nor any of his family. I did not lose a particle of clothing, and only those things that I have mentioned. My grown girl, Violetta, got ready to go, but as good fortune would have it, I had heard an officer express himself on slavery, so I went to him and got him to scare it out of her. I was lucky, so many negroes went from about here; all of Mr. McElmore's, Semmes's, and Dr. Johnston's — he had but two old ones, all are gone. I do not think that you have any idea how bad the Yankees are. I thought I knew, but I did not know the half. They took old Mrs.----'s teeth, all her spoons and knives, and destroyed all provisions and corn which they could not use. Two army corps were here — with Generals Sherman, Hurlbut, McPherson, and Leggett. Mother has been sick ever since the Yankees left. How glad I am that I did not get sick! No one need want to

nerous heart. The blood which Louisiana's brave sons have shed on every battlefield of Virginia speaks with mute, but irresistible eloquence, to the noble-hearted and openhanded citizens of the Old Dominion in behalf of their suffering friends and relatives. Let the response be worthy of the occasion and worthy of the reputation of our city and State. All the young men who came over to Mobile are joining the army or going into the camp of instruction near that city; but the old men, the women and the childrend, who have been driven by the inhuman barbarity of those worse than savages, are entirely destitute. Let us emulate the example set by the true hearted citizens of Mobile, and send down a liberal contribution for the relief of those martyrs of Southern independence. The committee appointed to receive contributions is constituted as follows: Messrs. C. M. Conrad, Wyndham Robertson, T. J. Semmes, S. J. Harrison, John Freeland, T. L. Bayne, E. A. Palfrey, Duncan F. Kenner.
