"A deserter from a South Carolina regiment has arrived within our lines, who was condemned to be shot, to-day, for attempting the same thing some time since. He says that nine are now under sentence of death for straggling while on the march."

Now deserters and traitors are treated like heroes by democraps. Curious how that's completely forgotten about today.
