Francis H. Pierpoint, the distinguished Governor of New Virginia, formerly a greasy and out-of- practice attorney in the respectable county of
Marion, in the
Northwestern section of the
State, has recently condescended to issue a pass to a paroled prisoner, who was unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of the enemy of
Laurel Hill some time last summer.
As a specimen of
Mr. F. R. Pierpoint's condescension we append this pass, and commend the impudent complacency with which this traitor affixes his signature as
Governor of
Virginia.
