1860s newsprint

April 14, 1863, Natchez Daily Courier

A female spy was caught last week at Enterprise on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. We think it would be well to demand passes from all peregrinating females. We noticed last week that women were frequently passed by the passport examiner on the cars without a question being asked. Female spies are the most dangerous, and all travelers should be compelled to provide proper vouchers, and the guard instructed to make all give a proper account of themselves.–Vicksburg Whig.
