OBITUARY

"MRS. LINCOLN'S BROTHER KILLED

"Mr. Samuel B. Todd, brother of Mrs. Lincoln,  died on the battle-field of Shiloh, of wounds received in the action of the 7th of  April.

"The New Orleans Delta says he was a gallant private in the Crescent regiment, and died in defense  of his country against  the hireling  invaders  whom the husband of his sister, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, sent to desolate  our country and dishonor our people.

"It must be a pleasant reflection to Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, amid her vulgar attempts to ape royal  fashions, with her  balls and soirees at the federal capital, that a gallant brother should have thus fallen  by the hands of her husband's mercenaries."

Evidently, the Newspaper Was Not Too Impressed With Mary Todd Lincoln.  --Old Secesh
