Emigrating
--Steps are being taken by the proper authorities to relieve this community of all that class of persons now remaining here with foreign protection papers in their pockets, and who refuse to perform local military service in times of danger. Many of these creatures have already amassed large fortunes by this war, and now, if they are not willing to protect their own property along with others, they deserve to be dispossessed of every dollar they have made here and to be driven bare-footed beyond the limits of the Confederacy. Let them remain no longer to consume the necessaries of life that would serve to feed better people, but make them go, and go quickly and empty handed.
