Ragged man.
--The raggedest man this war has produced was paraded through our streets yesterday to the Provost-Marshal's office.
His name was Tom Jones.
He was brought down as a deserter from Powhatan county, where he has been skulking in the woods for five months. He had but one whole piece of cloth about his clothes, and that was a patch of black cloth twelve inches square in the seat of his faded grey home — spun pants.
He was committed to Castle Thunder.
The Confederacy guarantees him a new suit when he emerges from this place of durance.
