The Daily Dispatch: December 28, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 8 (search)
"a Lie, with a Circumstance." A sensation correspondent of the New York Herald, speaking of the holiday stoppage of the freight trains on the Richmond and Danville railroad--the constant practice every Christmas — calls it a "rebel precautionary movement" against negro mobs, and says that "the wicked flee when no man pursueth." The correspondent is a wicked flea himself, or some other buzzing, troublesome insect. Not the slightest fear has ever been entertained of any trouble from the negroes. The paymaster went up with $13,000 on Saturday, and did not even carry a guard. This story shows how little foundation these correspondents require to make a mischievous report. Colonel Dodamead has already corrected the statement in the Lynchburg Virginian.
