Fugitives from Jeff Davis Reach New York in Waves
The New York Commercial Advertiser reports over 150 able bodied men, escaping conscription, have arrived in the city within a week. Many are heads of families or former merchants, some with wealth, others young men of family sent away by parents. They express sympathy for the Union and hope for a temporary end to Confederate rule. Earlier estimates put Southerners in New York and Brooklyn at 25,000, a number that has since grown, with traders and travelers from Dixie reuniting with familiar Southern associates.
