Major General Schenck
Summary
Editorial praising the efforts of Maj. Gen. Robert C. Schenck, currently in command of the military government of the Middle Department in Maryland, to deport Confederate sympathizers beyond Federal lines. The "energetic course of Maj. General Schenck has done much to repress the insolence of treason and cultivate a loyal sentiment" among the people. An excerpt expressing a similar opinion comes from the Baltimore Clipper which says Schenck is "regarded with unalloyed satisfaction by every true Union man, woman and child..." "All traitors are sent Judas-like to their own, despite their earnest protestations, their fierce exclamations and fiery indignation." "It delights the hearts of the loyal men of Maryland that this trash is being raked up and picked out to rot on the dunghill."
