Southern Confederacy, and returning here
as a spy, was shot about three o'clock
this afternoon, near the Burnside Bar
racks. Two men were selected by lot
from each company in the 71st, making
twenty IN all. Their guns were loaded
by Lieutenant, one half with blank
cartridges, and One-half with Minnie
balls. The guns were then handed to
the men without their knowing which
was loaded with ball or blank car
tridges. The prisoner was brought
out and made a few remarks, ac-
knOwledging his guilt, but said he
did il with no criminal intent, and
only for the purpose of enabling him TO
get out Of the army. He supposed he
was to be shot as an example, and exhor-
ted his fellow soldiers to stand by the
Government and not TO follow in his foot
steps, but to profit by HIS fate. He said
that he was not prepared 10 die, and tits
thought that he expected TO be pardoned
up TO the last moment. He was blind

when, at signal from the Lieutenant,
the soldiers fred, and Gay fell dead,
eight balls having lodged in his breast,
any one of which would have killed him
instantly. He enlisted in Clay county,

but justice to offer through your paper
some testimonial of regard TO the brave
129th Illinois, for their timely aid TO res
cue a number of ladies and passengers,
on the train of last Thursday, caplured
by band Of lawless men. They were
more than mile of, and twas not more
than ten minutes, think, until they had
the rebels in full retreat. Several ladies
came near being shot l think it was
one of the most lawless acts, to fire on the
ladies' car The engineer Mr.. VAUGHN,
should also be remembered by the ladies
as one of the bravest Of the brave, and
the conductor, Capt SwEEHY, did all in
his power to render, in his most affable
way, assistance. The full address of
the brave'is 129th Illinois, companies IL

DEAR S1a-You may easily imagine ths
Indignation and curses that the accom-
pinying speech met with on its arrival
among the patriotic soldiers Of the 5lst
Ohio Regiment II is a specimen Of the
encouraging sentiments sent amongst US
BY those that claim TO be our warmest
friends in Ohio. We do not claim them
rs such, ard wish through your columns
10 tell them so. We claim no friendship
with any, only the pure and untainted
lovers Of the Union and its cause. We
ask no favors from the copperheads Of
Ohio or any other State We are always
glad to receive any reading matter from
| home, but thank them not for sending us
such damnable traitorism as is laid down
In RICHARD s. MERRIcK's speech, made
before the copperhead club Of Chicago.
| Every man in this regiment knows the
rights Of the American people, aud the
power Of the present administration, and
the motives the President has in using
that power; also we know what consti-
tutes the copperhead party Of the North.
Therefore, we wish our friends to go TO
no further trouble or expense TO explain
itous their doctrine or principles
ai aHI SIDNEY HARPER.
Please notice this for US in your paper,
that each of US may send a copy to our
copper colored friends as our thanks.
By so doing, you will oblige your many
friends ia the 51st Ohio. SID.

"A Soldier" complains that we did
injustice to Lieut.. Col. BLooDdoOD in
stating that he made but feeble resist
ance to the rebels who captured his force.
Perhaps we did; we are not always cor
rectly informed, and we often have 10
make corrections. But all the statements
which we have received from the army
in reference TO Lieut. Col. BLooDGooD, con-
nseted with his capture, are unfavOra-
bic to him. We hope be may be able to
exeulpate himself.
Gen. G. CLAY SMlTRs bravery and
GOODNESS are universally spplnuded. He
behaved like truo soldier, and with
little more cavalry, would have won a
splendid victory. We believe that a
little more perseverance, ON the part of
Lieut-Col. BLooDGooD would have saved
us from surrender

in the middle Of the war, and during the

fierce and unreleniing than over before.
