To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No Southern paper, if possessed of a copy, would dare or care to reprint it. Any negro found with a copy of it in his possession was sure to receive bloody stripes as his reward. Any man wil- ling to accept the proffered mercy would have been deemed a traitor and punished according- ly by the rebel authorities, for they knew the meaning of treason and did not hesitate to apply the full rigor of the law to delinquents. For all of which reasons the proclamation fell as impotent ly as if it were w...ritten in an unknown tongue. Saturday, November 9th, a reconnoissance was made up Broad and Beaufort rivers, by the gunboats tieneca, Pembina and Curlew. Reconnoissance to Beaufort. Extension of Fortifi- cations. The town of Beaufort was found deserted — only one white man was there and he was too drunk to escape. The fine resi- dences were thrown open to the winds, and negroes were holding wild riot in parlors and chambers. Everywhere were evidences of a hasty exit — scarcely anything having been removed by the terror-stricken people.
