COFPERHEAD CARTRIDGE.-We clip the fol-
lowing from General Aliens Washoe Times In
giving it a place, the General, with his usual
caution, says he gives it as he got 1t, and don't
know whether it is true or false. Whether true
or not, it was the proper mode of distributing
Gopperhead tickets; and few thousand Cop.
perheads distributed in the same manner would
be a pretty good thing. not only for California
but also for Nevada Territory
A CorPERHEAD CARrRIpGG.-On the morning
Of election day, Washoe county official made
his appearance in Galena with batch of Copper

to perform the arduous and patriotic duty. he

turned his horse to go. But he was scarcely ont

"cut the tickets, first diagoually, then cross

HOW HE GOT RECRUITS


During the Revolution, CAP tain F., a
member Of one of the first families of Carries
ton, having lost in skrmish most Of his men,
went into the interior of South Carolina for
the purpose Of enlisting recruits. Having
appointed a rendezvous for the next day, and
left the ground. Next day came, and with
it the same.crowd, but he met with no more
success than before. What could the matter
be 1t was the first time during the war
that recruiting officer had been entirely I'M
successful. Something must be wrong, and
he determined to know what it was. Call
ing one Of the rustics aside, he said
Why is it | get no recruits =
"You don't think, answered the country
man, i" that we are going to list under such
a looking man as you ares You are dressed
too fine to be much Of fighter"
In those days knee-breeches and silk stock
ings were fashionable, and the captain was
dressed in that style; there lay his unpopu-
larity. He turned to the coun,ryman and
said
So you object to my dress, do you p
Come here tomorrow and | shall have re-
cruits"
Next day the same crowd had assembled,
anxious to know what idea the dandy captain
nad had got into his head. After the crowd
had assembled, Captain f. stepped out and
said in a clear and distinct voice
My friends, | understand that you object
to me because am dressed little finer than
yourselves. You think am unable to fight
on that account. | will whip as many of you
as will come out one at time, with the I'M
Outstanding that every man is to enlist after
he is whipped. Pick your men and send them
out"
After some consultation, huge, broad
shouldered fellow came out. The captain
drew off his coat very coully. He was large
and well made, and a superior boxer. The
countryman rushed up, intending to brush
out the captain in few minutes. lie mis-
took his man, however, and soon measured
his length on the grass. A greater bully
than the first stepped out to take his place
and soon measures his length on the ground
The countrymen stared; they had no idea
such man could fight. He had, however
enlisted two men, and must not be allowed
to 20 farther. The bully Of the crowd now
stepped out to take the gentleman in hand
He was a stout fellow, (weighing about two
hundred and fifty pounds and Dragged that
he had never been whipped. He knew moth
ing, however, about sparring, and he very
soon followed his companions. Never was a
crowd so utterly COMPOUNDED. Three Of their
bes, men whipped by man from the city -
They could hardly realize 1t, and stood per-
fectly motionless.
Well, my friends, are you satisfied |
have enlisted three of your best men. Isup-
pose you have no objection now to follow
their example
Not bit of it" responded one Of the
crowd.
" You'll do to tie to, old fellow. Come,
boys, fall in"
They did so, and in a short time the cap
tain had his company filled, and he had offers
of more than he could find room for

CURIOUS INCIDENT IN THE WAR

Capt. Bright, Company H. 23d Kentucky
Regiment, formerly a resident of this city,
and who has just returned on short furlough,
relates to. us the following curious anecdote
of the war, for the veracity of which he will
himself answer:
During the retreat of the army of Kirby
Smith from Cumberland Gap, the regiment to
which he belonged was in he van of the Fed
eral army. One morning, when the regiment
was about SO miles east of the Wild Cat
Mountains, they were surprised to see file
of ten men, all Of them secesh, marching
toward their lines, and woman marching in
their rear with musket IN her hands. On
their coming within the Federal lines she
coolly gave them up to the officer command
ing, as prisoners. In accounting for their
capture, she said that her husband had joined
military company IN the Federal service,
and had left her alone to take care of the
house, which lay between the two armies
Eleven seoessonists had come into the house
that morning, and proceeded to make them
selves perfectly at home, first killing all her
chickens, and setting them to roast by the
fire. They then proceeded to dispose of the
things around the house, taking up the car
pets and constructing horse blankets of them
They next perpetrated other atrocities of I
destructive and Objectionable character, which
had the effect Of making the lady of the hous'
"furiously Wild" as the Captain espresso
it, and she determined that such outrageou
conduct should not go UNPUBLISHED. She &C
cordingly carried away their muskets to
place of safety, reserving two for her own use
and then going to the room in which the!
were RECALLING themselves on her defunct chick
ems, she informed them that they were he
prisoners. One of them jumped up to seiz
her, when she leveled her gun at him an
fired, causing him to bite the dust, which la
thiekly strewed on the carpetless floor
Throwing away the now useless gun sh
took the other in her hand and ordered tn
remaining ten to march toward the Unto
camp, threatening to shoot the first who a
tempted to run away.
Having a wholesome fear Of sharing sin
liar fate TO that of their companion, they WEI
quietly along, and were accordingly handle
over to the military authorities. On bein
laughed at for being taken prisoners by W.
man, they said they had been wanting to g
captured for some time past, and were heart
ly glad that they were prisoners at last
They were entirely sick Of the war, they sal
and did not care how. so that they got out
