Another Compliment
Two companies of the Thirty-eighth marched by our office
in good style yesterday and, while passing, their band (a good
one, by the way) played Dixie in a very creditable manner. At the
expense of being called a Secesh, Butternut, Copperhead or
Dimmycrat, we must solemnly avow that we know of no tune when
properly played that so soothes our savage breast as does Dixie.
and we don't care who knows it--except the U. S. marshal.
