The Burlington Argus says:
This man Newman. who was the guilty
party In this ab duction. pretends to be Cap
tain 10 the Federal army. He has been in the
service about year, and has never yet been
with his regiment in the field. Too cowardly
to meet his country's enemies in the field Of
battle. be aspires to play the military despot
here at home. On pretence of recruiting he
lays about this city and Issues his bombaetic
proclamation signing himself military com
mandaut of the city" 1t is about time that

mi litary outrages in loyal States"
And we eay-Amen.
