The news-boy had often before been captured by Richards, but had always been released, and on this occasion received the same clemency. The drummer-boy claimed his liberty likewise, and pleaded hard for it; but Richards said: No; the drum excites men to battle, but the newspaper is often the source of demoralization and defeat.
