A Distinguished Stranger Called for
q On Saturday night last. the troops at
Oregon received information that "Ss-
cesh recruiting Captain had arrived there.
and was said to be sitting with crossed
legs by the comfortable stove Of Mr. Bur-
nett, hard-hesded old traitor of that
vicinity. A squad Of soldiers were sent
to inquire after the health of the disting-
uished visitor. Arriving at the house.
they asked for his excellence, but Burnett
protested. upon his word Of honor, that
there was no such man in his house.
But his word Of honor, like the Missouri
Banks. appeared to be considerably be-
low par with the soldiers. and they de-
termined to see for themselves. They
searched about the house. until they came
to the Young ladies' bed-ehamber. which
they entered. and discovered dresses,
hoops, and other female ct ceteras, lying
around loose, and somebody in bed
Polite soldiers would have stopped here
but not so with these soldiers. They ap-
preached the bed, and pulled down the
cover, when 10 whiskered face became
visible. The face belonged to the dis
tinguished stranger As last resort, the
young ladies had abandoned their bed,
and the Secesh Captain took refuge in
the warm nest. The troops hauled him
forth, like hog from the scalding tub.
Men who would invade the chamber OF
youns ladies, would have impudence en-
ough for anything. The soldiers next
commanded the distinguished stranger to
take off his whi.kers j.! The distinguished
stranger had to obey. and the operation
did not seem to hurt him a bit! Being
thus peeled. 10 and behold there stood
before them the young. beautiful, grinning.
lady-killing. talented, mighty tremendous
j. ". Biggers! In the ladies' bed and
in false whiskers /! Upon being searched.
q Captains commission in the traitor ar
my was found in his pocket. The dis
tinguished Biggers. together with Burnett
and son were marched to headquarters.
Burnett and son were afterwards released
on taking the oath. but the distinguish.

BE- There is quite change in the
tone of certain persons in this commu-
nifty since the order Of the War Depart
ment directing the arrest Of secesh sym
pathizers. A person might be upon
the streets all day without discovering
that Jeff. Davis and his sublime confed-
eracy had single friend left. Unless
the rebels get control of Ohio soon, we
don't see what is to become of the Glib
erty of speech" among US. The intol-
erable tyranny of the ''Lincoln Govern
ment'' won't allow men the simple lib
erty of choice between it and the South
ern Confederacy. These are bad times,
surely, and no prospect Of immediate
relief. In South Carolina men may de-
nounce the Union to their hearts con-
tent. But in Ohio that blessed consti-
tutional right has been trampled under
foot, and men can only utter their SEN
timents in dark corners and secret lurk-
ing places.
