A Rebel War Clerk’s Diary at the Confederate States Capital, By John Beauchamp Jones
    

“Another instance of Southern magnanimity!”—Rebel War Clerk.

A likeness of Jones when he was editor and majority owner of the Daily Madisonian during President John Tyler’s administration.

MAY 6th. –To-day a Yankee was caught in the street questioning some negroes as to which side they would fight on, slavery or freedom. He was merely rebuked and ordered out of the country. Another instance of Southern magnanimity! It will only embolden the insidious enemy.
