The Daily Dispatch: December 11, 1861., [Electronic resource], The cowardly Despotism at Washington. (search)
harsher, ruder treatment than I have already received, but you cannot imprison the soul. Every cause worthy of success has had its martyrs.

In all civilized countries, the name of woman is a protection stronger than a shield of iron. None but savages and brutes make war upon the defenceless sex. It has been reserved to Yankees to make this a war upon women, and even children, and deliberately could imprison upon some miserable pretext, with such wrongs and indignities as sufficiently indicate the combined depravity and cowardice of their character. Mrs. Greenhow's letter is ingenuous, womanly, and courageous. She is a true woman, a true Virginia woman, and the blood of every man must boil when he reads the narrative o
