| Description |
The secessionist holds a paper marked "Jeff Davis/ Richmond/ Plans VA." in one hand, and holds out his other hand to receive
paper currency from the man standing next to him. Both wear civilian clothing. In the background, a man in a uniform observes
them, suggesting that the military is aware of the recipient's traitorous actions.

| Notes |
Text: You are the man who chuckles when the news / Comes o'er the wires, and tells of sad disaster: / Pirates on sea succeeding---
burning ships and crews, / Rebels on land marauding, thicker, aye, and faster, / You are the two-faced villian, though not
very bold, / Who would barter your country for might or for gold.
