Unionist and loyal man as the Union holds:
Nv kditor: The following paragraph relating

edition Of the Star:
Information was obtained tha, whenever a
Union man appeared In that neghborhood the
bells were rung, and before be 10 aware Of the
meaning Of the alarm, he is taken prisoner and
conveyed TO place Of security"
In justice to conservative, pesceable and intel.
hgsnt community, placed In rather an enbar
raising position he:ween the lines, ard subject
daily 10 visits from either side, desire to state
my experience, &C.: Within eight weeks, having
been twice called suddenly to that place by sick
ness and sfllction, | was treated with unexcp
fonaole courtesy at least; this whilst my prin-
ciples were known, az well my position as
Federal ofaceholder. Neither time did find the
place occupied. Large columns Of our troops
have passed through on several occasions, leaving
Snischievous saagglers, or detachments' of sick
without food, medicines or attendance. They
were kindly provided for by the citizens Con-
federate cavalry took the stragglers, and think
the arms Of the sick. Two ofhcers thus left were
undisturbed, one for weeks, sad both permitted
10 vsoiS thsir commands. This know, having
seen. AZ TO the bell.ringing, &C., did not hear,
az hear Of, during weeks stay, and believe the
report Is erroneous. F.
