1345 - L. Feb. 26; ed: 2/1 - This gentleman, Mark Tapley, who persisted
in being jolly in the midst of the fevers and agues of our western
rivers, is now in Richmond, where he insists on being jollier than
ever. While a merciless conscription is being erforced, the EXAMINER
is jolly over the enthusiasm with which their armies are being filled
just as a state might be de lighied with crowds of pilgrims to the
penitentiary.
"I he terrible Yankees have not invaded North Carolina, Butler has not
captured Richmond as he wanted to, Charleston is not taken, and therefore
the rebels have great occasion to be jolly.
"Therefore, says our Richmond Mark Tapley, in a grand and overwhelm-
ing burst cf jollity in the midst of adversity, such as the world has never
seen, the affairs of the confederacy not only wear a hopeful but a
cheerful aspect.
"'Cheerful and hopeful." That is jolly, my dear Mark, just as a man's
neck in the hangman's noose is cheerful and hopeful, or as your ribs
are, just as a boa is about to hug you to death.
"Cheerful and hopeful, you Tapley of the EXAMINER, as a jolly man
ought to be with his fingers in a tightly gripping vice. Pray continue
to be jully." (6)

2524 - L Dec. 16; ed: 2/1 - Yesterday's dispatches prove without a
doubt that Sherman is in full possession of Savannah. His glorious
movement has met with the most complete and triumphant success. He has
moved through the very heart of the Confederacy, proving its hollowness
and weakness. He has cut the Rebellion completely in two by the entire
destruction of its railroad system, and has established himself on the
Atlantic with a convenient base for operating against Charleston, and
within easy communication with Grant. These are the grand results of
the expedition and all this was achieved without almost any loss of
life, or ammunition.
"Let us all unite in the north and "Hurrah for Sherman and his gallant
soldiers.'" (9)

2529 - H Dec. 27:2/3 - In a letter to the editor, "P. F. Y.," on Dec.
15, writes about the 107th regiment's position and other army news.
He says: "At Deveaux Neck, S. W., we have Hammer's battery posted
within 3/4 of a mile of the Charleston and Savannah railroad---Both
cities must fall ere long, and this rebellion will soon be a thing of
the past, never to be repeated within our borders." (7)
