Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

We see it publicly stated that Col. Taylor has had orders to import Blood Hounds from Cuba, to hunt down the Seminoles. We confess that such an arrangement jars upon the feelings; altho’ we are not prepared to say that direful necessity may not justify the employment of such savage allies. It was one of the most odious charges against the inhuman Cortez that he tracked the Mexicans with bloodhounds; and we must say that it requires the strongest possible case to excuse our government in imitation of that brigand.-St. Louis Gaz.
