A Rebel War Clerk’s Diary at the Confederate States Capital, By John Beauchamp Jones
    

Rebel War Clerk

A likeness of Jones when he was editor and majority owner of the Daily Madisonian during President John Tyler’s administration.

JUNE 23d.—And Gen. Johnston, I learn, has had his day. And Magruder is on “sick leave.” He is too open in his censures of the late Secretary of War. But Gen. Huger comes off scot-free; he has always had the confidence of Mr. Benjamin, and used to send the flag of truce to Fortress Monroe as often as could be desired.
