More accounts of battles and massacres in Missouri and
Kansas. I never thought the Yankees would be permitted to ascend the Missouri
River. What has become of the marksmen and deer hunters of Missouri? There has
been also a fight at Leesburg, and one near Romney, Va. Blood has been shed in
all of them. These are the pattering drops that must inevitably be succeeded by
a torrent of blood!
