The Semi-Weekly Shreveport News, August 15, 1862 CS
From a Norfolk letter of a recent a date we learn that since the battles near Richmond, the Irishmen at Old Point have hauled up in their seines, large numbers of legs and arms which had been amputated from the wounded received at the fortress, and thrown feed to the sharks in the Roads. What will the Yankee nation say of the disposition made by the surgeons of the dismembered limbs of the army of the Potomac? They will anxiously enquire whether McClellan indeed retains so little of Virginia soil as not to afford him decent burial space for the mangled limbs of his followers.-Richmond Examiner.
