| The subjoined story from a Virginia Yankee
is called by the Baltimore American "Another Wail from a Victim
of Virginia Secession:" |

Messrs. Editors of the Baltimore
American:
|
| ***** Whenever they (the Secessionists)
wish horses and wagons to convey any stolen goods from one point to
another — as in case of the contract between one sharper {Sharp}
and the citizens of Winchester in regard to stealing the railroad
iron and machinery from the workshops at Martinsburg {from
the Baltimore & Ohio RR} — the Union men
must invariably send their teams to do the labor. It does not remain
optional with the owner of the teams if he sends or not, but it is
compulsory upon him ***** |
