Already the flood-gates of treasonable intelligence flowing
North seem to be thrown wide open. The Baltimore papers contain a vast amount of
information concerning our condition, movements in progress, and projected
enterprises. And to crown all, these rascals publish in the same papers the
passports given them by Gen. Winder. I doubt not they are sold by the
detectives, Winder being ignorant.
