The New Orleans Delta contains the following information, which chimes with the reformation progressing in North Carolina:
“Twenty guerillas from the country above, on the right bank of the river, came down to the city last evening on the steamer Iberville, and voluntarily gave themselves into the hands of the authorities here. They had become disgusted with the life of outlawry which they had been leading, were ragged and dirty, and poorly armed. An officer who came down up on the same boat with them, says they informed him that there were hundreds more that would make their escape the first opportunity, having, like themselves, been made to realise that ‘the way of the transgressor is hard.” Some of them expressed a desire to take the oath of allegiance and return to loyalty.”
