The Daily Dispatch: July 1, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 14 (search)
A Bunch of stragglers. --A highly mixed up sort of crowd left the city yesterday for Baltimore. They were ring streaked and speckled like Laban's goats, gotten up in every variety of style. They comprised a lot of stragglers from at least a dozen different regiments from various parts of the country, who in New York had got astray. How they were ever got together is more than we can find out. The Camden people describe them as the hardest cases ever yet drummed together. They represented every describable style of uniform, from that of the Zouave to the plainest of grays. Some of them appeared to have been upon a prolonged trolie, and carried heads so swelled that if the Baltimore railroad were in any part tunnelled they couldn't possible pass it. About every other man in the party was tipsy, while some of them, having indulged in a fight on the cars, were now lamenting over closed optics and flattened proboscis.--Philadelphia North American.
