November 17, 1861 – Slidell’s Secretary of Legation

It turns out, as we had supposed, that the rebel ambassador Slidell’s Secretary of Legation is Mr. Eustis, the son-in-law of the wealthy banker, W. W. Corcoran, of Washington. Mr. Eustis is a very dainty little gentleman; but treason having carried him into bad company, he finds himself in close quarters. Before his restoration to the luxuries of high life he will be apt to learn something of the simplicities of prison fare. Such are the compensations of secession. Who comes next?
