From the Nashville Daily Union, April 15, 1862

We, the undersigned, will pay five dollars per pair for fifty pairs of well bred hounds, and fifty dollars for one pair of thoroughbred bloodhounds that will take the track of a man. The purpose for which these dogs are wanted is to chase the infernal, cowardly Lincoln bushwackers of East Tennessee and Kentucky (who have the advantage of the bush to kill and cripple many good soldiers) to their tents and capture them. The said hounds must be delivered by the 10th of December next, where a mustering officer will be present to muster and inspect them.

P.O.--Twenty dollars per month will also be paid for a man whi is competent to train and take charge of the above named dogs.
