SAMUEL COOPER, NJ. D.
Double Springs, April Ii. 1860.
p. M.-Please put up in some conspicuous
place.
You dam black scoundrel do you know any
thing about this nigger.
The above handbill was sent to the
Tribune, and, in accordance with the re-
quest in the p. H., we put it in the most
conspicuous place" We know Of. We
regret to be Obliged to inform our es-
teemed correspondent-if We may use
that endcaring term-Sauucl Cooper, u.
D., that none of the " dam scoundrels 4"
of any co'or in this establishment. have
any knowledge whatever Of the ugger "
Littlcton, who is copper colored, nor Of
the Boy" who is boy at 81 years of
age If we hear Of him, however, we
promise to let the Dr. knew. And be-
ing thus candid with that gentleman,
having thus done all We can for him, un-
der the circumstances, in advertising this
erraHr, and undoubtedly ungrateful fugi-
tive, who makes so many pretensions, has
cleverness enough to invent so many tales,
and is covered with so many scars-wlll
the good Dir. in return, answer Us ques.
tion or two? We want to know about
those scars, part y from moral, but chiefly
from surgical motives.
How came there to be a shot IN Little
ton. right wrist OH the inside of the
arm? The Boy, we presume, is not
trusted with fle-arns, and if he were, we
o. not well see how he could shoot him
self in that particular spot. Neither is it
very likely that he could have been shot
by any Of his companions when sport
ing, as recreation Of that sort, we be
licve, is not a favori;e in his class of
the happy proletaries of the sweet South.
If he were Northern white man and
mechanic, one of our unhappy "mud-
sills," We should think he had been shot
at with some murderous intention but
that, we know, is thing they never do
on the other side of the border.
Now, on one of his eyes is ga small
scar" Is this also from shot? Did
part of the charge that lodged in the
wrist just fall short Of lodgment in the
brain also? Or was it some other assail-
ant of the citadel of life that failed to
make a breach here in the walls?
"On the right leg and thigh" also,
there arc several sears" Possibly,
gunshot That they are on the right
side. also, favors that supposltion. Per
walk" for gun-shot wound are sometimes
known to be inconvenient, and even Grip
pling. But if the supposition be correct
that charge of buck-shot has left these
wounds and scars, PROFOUND to Us the oc
ca. ion, good Doctor, of such shooting.-
Here aud there among US is a man who
has brought home from war some honor
able sears here and there a man whom
some accident has crippled; but we do
not remember ever to have heard before
of a case like this, where wretch is
SCARED over half his body with marks of
wounds, one of which, at least was made
by shot, ord others, it is rational to con-
clude, have similar cause. Hides so
peppercd are unknown among US, except
it be Of beasts. Are men thus used In
Mississippi?
We reiterate our promise-Dr. Cooper
shall certainly hear from us if We hear
from Lit. But our report may not be as
modifying to the Doctors outraged feel
Jugs, as his saive, we do not permit our
selves to doubt, has always been to the
wou.ds Of Lit. On the whole, we think
that Boy has had shooting enough. We
hope he has a pass of some sort. We
trust his ability to tel! any kind of a
tale to SUIT his purpose" will stand him
in good stead and his laudable anxiety
to get to the Black Republicans shall be
gratifed, if we fall in with him, for he
shall 60 at once to the headquarters of the
nearest Republican Club. They are law
abiding men, aud will render due obedi
ence to the Fugitive Slave law, when
properly brought home to their conscience
aud reason. But if Littleton get among
them, and Samuel Cooper, NJ. D., is not
very close behind him, the chances of a
