Danville (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 10
A bleached man. --A few days ago the provost guard from this place brought in a deserter from the army, who had been absent from his command fifteen months, and who had eluded all efforts made for his capture by secreting himself between the ceiling and weatherboarding of the house in which he lived. The guard get a clue as to his whereabouts and commenced to tear off the ceiling where he was lodged, when the runaway crept forth from his hiding place and surrendered at discretion. His name is Shelton, and he belongs to the Thirty-eighth Virginia regiment. The man was very unlike one of our bronzed soldiers in his countenance, as well as in his heart, being bleached to an unnatural whiteness from long resting in the shade. He preferred the life of a rat to that of a soldier.--Danville (Virginia) Register.
