The Memphis Avalanche asks the Cairoites if they
[101]
are aware that the South has a company of bear-hunters awaiting their arrival at Memphis, whose special duty it will be to scalp the officers of the Sucker army.
In reply, the Springfield Journal says:--
“ Scalping is not our game.
Our Sucker boys are now on a grand ‘whaling expedition,’ and if those Arkansas bar-tenders get some of Uncle Sam's harpoons in their blubber, they will stop blowing, and want succors.” --Cairo (Ill.) Gazette, May 30.
Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
