. . . writing from Missouri, speaks of the discovery of divers[e]
interesting relics found in the rebel camp.
Among others two human ribs, bearing the following inscription: – “The
ribs of a New York Zouave, July 21, 1861,” soup dishes made of human skulls,
&c. In a railway car on a road
running out of Macon, Georgia, hangs, or did hang a human skull, purporting to
be that of a Yankee soldier killed at Bull Run.
It is useless to talk about southern society declining towards barbarism
– it is already there.
