From The Regimental Flag (Vol. 7), March 6, 1862, pg. 1
Having now obtained a Foote-hold in Tennessee, we expect to send our Porter or butler with a message to our Southern friends, and Grant them the privilege of paying their debts to the North as well as securing the rights of which they Bragg much; and may the Pillow under their heads be as adders and scorpions till they pay the Price of their treason, and their rebel carcasses be Polk’d into their traitorous Toombs. Louisville Journal.
Very clever play on words (or names.) Quite a bit of strong feeling in the message, Per se.
Very funny. But I wonder why poor General Butler did not get capitalized?
