From the
Richmond
Examiner, Monday,
4/6/1863
, p. 1
THE CITY BATTALION. - It is understood that the City
Battalion, raised and recruited in
Richmond
and employed by the Commandant of the Department of Henrico in guarding the
prisons, &c., is to be removed from our midst. The battalion has recently
become filled with a class of men who have entirely subverted the
esprit du corps of the organization, and the further presence of the
battalion here is regarded as inimical to good order in this community, and the
cause of the Confederacy. - We sincerely hope that there is no reason why they
should not be sent out to General Bragg. He can make good soldiers of them.
