The black flag in Lynchburg, Va.--Our people were greatly surprised on Saturday morning to see the “black flag” waving over the depot of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company.
We are for displaying that flag throughout the whole South.
We should ask no quarter at the hand of the vandal Yankee invaders, and our motto should be an entire extermination of every one who has set foot upon our sacred soil.
Let that flag, then, float over every hilltop and valley throughout the whole South, and as the breezes fan its folds, let it tell to the Hessian scoundrels the welcome they will have on Southern soil — death, death to each, one and all.--Lynchburg Republican.
Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
