NP, STD 6/15/1861

From the The Standard {Clarksville, Tex.}
 
June 15, 1861
 
The Railroad Iron   {Memphis, El Paso & Pacific RR}
   The iron we contracted for, is ours at last; but our bonds are given to the Confederate States, instead of to the Mt. Savage Iron Company. That was a costly letter that Mr. Winslow wrote. Patriotism is frequently expensive. The rich Iron Company might as well pay a portion of the expense of the war as any other company of Capitalists.
