: DIsGRAcEFUL.-The respectable portion
of the citizens of our quiet little neighbor
Smyrna Station, were much surprised ant
chagrined this morning to find suspended
from the upper window Of the old granary
belonging to the r. r.. Company, an,
near the Station, an efligy of the Hon
c Geo. 7. Fisher, our bold and fearles
Representative in Congress, which ha
been placed there during the night b
some cowardly sneaks who if they dar
would murder every Union citizen in tn
y State Of Delaware
4 A board was placed across the breas
: of the eiiigy on which was written Hor
Geo. p. Fisher, and just below the boar
was card with these words, which "
give gerbatim et Rterdtim to show til
# character Of the things who could stoo
e to such meanness; "Ah George 70
G hdV for some time tride the reigns of on
J. noble Diamond State, now try the roI
and oblige the true hdrted citizens
r. Delaware 'saY
+ Now, if we don't mistake the signs
the times, "and nod is as good as
= wink to blind horse,' the Governmel
: will, and right speedily too, oblige the
'e true hdrted citizens by locking them Il
rs in some one Of the prison houses in Il
rs loyal States, OR by Ropeizing kick the
e. down in Dixie, where their true hal3s c,
II. expand TO their hearts delight
re On the boots Of the etligy was write
~ the names of Enoch Spruance and Edw
=, Wilmer.
" Since the above was in type Assista
Marshal Dickson has called al our ofIc
~ and requested us to say that he has Il
Il. dress Of the etiigy in his possession al
mo- will give $50 for its Identification und
. oath.
te We take the above article from t
no Smyrna Times of Thursday. This q
he exhibits vileness of heart in the autho
ia which is unworthy of human beings, wi
81 lay claim to civilization. Mr.. Fisher
by a loyal man and loves his country, a.
1t his acts while in Congress are worthy oi
er- patriot, and if these have had the effect
ed bringing down on his head the yituper
zee tion and abuse of these things to such
m in extent that they will be guilty Of su
hhse base, mean, dirty acts as is recorded
MI the article copied above, the vile wretch
of who are guilty of the act, should not
ng suffered to remain in loyal communi
Ter and it is due to justice, and the honor
or the people of Smyrna that they ferret [
res rascals out, and hand them over TO
~ ~, proper authorities. Perhaps few mont
mt residence in Fort McIIenry, would bri
les them to their senses.
