Nurses were borne off to the Station House for carrying in their arms babies wearing red and white socks. Free speech became an act of treason, which the Government agents punished when they chose ; and persons of both sexes and of all ages were over and over again arrested for some casual remark which was disrespectful to the Government, and was therefore deemed to be "disloyal." Even the un- conscious utterances of the drunken reveller were noted by the active agents of Mr. Lincoln, and numbe...rs of men were arrested for having in their cups said something that savored of respect for Mr. Jefferson Davis or "Stone- wall" Jackson . In the shameless race for pre-eminence in servility to the all- powerful dictator, spies and policemen had not the foremost jilace; for the Judge upon the bench of the Criminal Court, an I the State's Attorney, gravely asserted, when a man was on trial before ihem, that it was illegal and treasonable to drink the health of Mr. Jefl"erson Davis. And the Coun- sel who denied the ridiculous proposition, was sent for months to Fort La Fayette, by the Provost Marshal.
