Look to them.

--Some of the citizens of the Peninsula, who have suffered severely from Yankee raids, give it as their opinion that most of the information furnished the Abolitionists as to the disposition of our forces and means of defence are furnished by professed Yankee deserters, who skulk about the country under the pretext of seeking employment, and who are very often treated in the kindest manner by our people. When these characters appear in a neighborhood they ought to be arrested and sent to headquarters at once. However pitiful their stories, they should be disregarded, inasmuch as the entire Abolition army has been but a high school for hoods, taught by those accomplished professors Gens. McClellan, Pope, Burnside, etc.
