Defunct-
The last of Brownlow’s militia were paid off and mustered out of service during the present week. Alas, alas the remnant, even of the grand army of chicken livers has disappeared – gone to their holes! We hope they pulled the holes in after them, and that they may return no more, forever. How sad the “Commander-in-Chief”, etc., Billy B., must feel! No more will he wave his magic wand over the bold thieves of former times! They have done his dirty work – he has no further use for them and now says to the “valiant melish’, “Down to hell, and tell the devil that Brownlow sent thee!”.
