South River, Ga. (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 1
The occasional execution of a Confederate officer (alleged to be a spy) in the Northern cities affords the masses at home an opportunity of seeing the death-struggles of a rebel, which could in no other way be gratified. It is not enough to read in the newspapers of killing the scoundrels, "way down South," but, by this new process, every man at home can have the banquet served up at his own table, and feast his own delicate senses upon the luxury. A nice young man, son of one of the "F. F.

But an error on that point may be fatal, and if General Dix has been hanging innocent men, not because he had sufficient evidence of their guilt, but because he was afraid of the
