From the Richmond Dispatch, 4/2/1863, p. 1, c. 4

On the Watch. – Officers are now stationed at the different street crossings to intercept all who bear the semblance of soldiers. Hundreds were stopped yesterday, and on exhibiting the proper credentials were permitted to pass on their several ways, while a few who had not provided themselves with the proper permits were marched off to Castle Thunder.
