How THE REBEL GEN. JENKINS PAROLES
CowARns.-While General Jenkins was in
Hargerstown he exhibited many traits which
1t is to be hoped are characteristic of the man.
An incident will illustrate. About noon yes.
terday Lieutenant and five men, wearing
the uniform of Union soldiers, crept out of
some Of the houses of the town, where they
had been hidden, and delivered themselves
up. When they appeared before General
Jenkins the following conversation occurred
Jenkins-Hallol who are YOU, an.l where
did you come. from? 49,.
Lieutenant-We belong to the Union army
or did belong to it, but we don't wish to hght
any longer against our Southern brethren;
40 when our forces left here we stayed behind
and to-day we came out to be parole5.
Jenkins-What did you say about e. South
ern brethren?" By, if thought had
twenty-ffth cousin who was as white liv-
cred as you are, | would kill him and Sc.
him up in my barnyard to make sheep own
their lambs. I'll show you how Iparole such
pukes as you are. You're odd miserable
to be paroled in military STYLE
So saying, he ordered detail of six men
and sergeant" good lusty .falloEs with
thick boots who paroled the recreart
Federals to the west quarter of the town,
where the paroling process ceased, and the
detail and crowd came back highly pleased
with Jenkins mode of paroling towards.
