"The order to march will soon be sounded along the Potomac, and the "sacred soil"of Virginia will be trodden by contending armies, and perchance drenched in blood. Who shall conquer, or who suffer defeat, whether the loyal soldiers of the Union, or the myrmidons of Jeff Davis shall triumph, will matter little to Virginia. She will garner the horrors of war, while victor and vanquished will alike spoil her of her substance, her honor, and her fame."
- from The New York Times, "The Reward of Treason"
