Majesty of twelve NoIthern men who

LGssat Cheering.1 Why, gentlemen, after
the battle CT Manassas ana 5gll Run, the
officers and privates Of the Confederate
army passed through our town on their
way to Dixie, exnlting over the victory
they had achieved, and some Of them had
what they called Yankee heads, or the
entire heads of Federal soldiers, some of
them with long boards and goatees, by
which they would take them up and say,
'See here is the head Of damned SOL
der captured at Bull Run" That is the
spirit of secession at the South. It is the
spirit Of murder, of the vile untutored
savage it is the spirit of hell and he
who apologises for them is no better than
those who perpetrate the deed TCheers.
But in the town Of Greenville, where An
drew johnson resides, they took out of
the jail, at one time, two innocent Union
men, who had committed no offence on
the face of the earth, but that of being
Union men-Nashy and Fry. Fry was a
poor shoemaker, with wife and half
dozen children. 4 fellow from way down
East in Maine, by the name of Daniel
Leadbeater, the bl2odiest and the most
ultra man, the vilest wretch, the most
unmitigated scoundrel that ever made a
tack In East Tennessee This is Col.
Daniel Leadbeater, late Of the United
States Army, but now rebel in the Sc
cession army. He took these two men.
tied them with his own hands upon one
limb, Immediately over *he railroad track
in the town Of Greenville, and ordered
them to hang four days and nights, and
directed all the engineers and conductors
to go by that hanging concern slow, in
kind OF snail gallop, up and down the
road, TO give the passengers an opportu-
nifty to kick the rigid bodies and strike
them with a rattan. And they did it
He pledged his honor that on the front
platform they made business of kicking
the dead bodies as they passed by; and
the women-( he would not say ladies, for
down South we make distinction between
ladies and women the women, the wives
and daughters OF men In high position,
waved their white handkerchiefs in tri-
umph through the windows of the ear at
the sight of the two dead bodies hanging
there. Leadbeater, for his murderous
courage, was promoted by JEFF. Davis to
the Office of Brigadier General. He had
an encounter, as their own papers at Rich
mond state, at Bridgeport, not long ago,
with part of Gen Mitcheli's army, where
Leadbeater got glorious whipping His
own party turned round and chastised
him for cowardice He had courage TO
hang innocent unarmed men taken out of
a Jail, but he had not courage to face the
Yankees and the Northern men that were
under Mitchell and Buell. He took to
his heels like a coward ald scavenger as
he is. Applause and cheers. Our pro
gramme is this that when we get back
into East Tennessee we will instruct all
our friends everywhere to secure and ap-
prehend this fellow, Leadbeater, and our
purpose is to take him to that tree and
make the widow of Fry, tie the rope
around his internal neck
And yet you have in your midst sympa-
thizers with these rascals. lou ought to

He congratulated his audience, in con- |
clusion, that the South could not hold |
out great while longer. There were /
who were tired and sick OF the |
work, and were destitute of clothing, |
arms, and ammunition. They had no
cause to fight tor hell and the devil were
on their side, and that was ALL The

md, in consequence, the heads of their
children were very much taken possession
of by little inhabitants contending fyr the
light of squatter sovereignty.
