Under the caption of dead body found

desire TO correct. The facts in relation
to the subject of that article are the follow
ing:
The Home Guards in Gilmer county ar

Southern spy, brought him to West Union

fed lie was a rebel spy, but could get no
testimony against him, and released him.
Some ten or fifteen days afterward, a dead
body was found 10 the woods some six or
seven miles from West UuiOn. A cOro.
ner's jury was held on the body, and they
rendered a verdict that the parry came to
his death by shooting by two of Capt Car
rolls soldiers. named Williams and Bar
nett. The coroner issued a warrant to ar
rest these men for murder. The warrant
was put in the hands of the Sheriff -
When 1 left the county the soldiers had'nOt

them both. They are generally considered
honest, upright And correct meu At the
breaking out OF this rebellion they were
Incorporating Union men, who it was
considered would harm no man. The jury
of inquest was principally made up of
secesh. A portion of them opposed the
amended constitution Of West Virginia,
and were symPathisers With the Southern
Confederacy.
Nessrs. Editors. about the time it is sup
posed that the unknown man was killed,
am told there was great deal of ex-
ci,ement in the county, in consequence of
the depredations of guerrillas. The Home
Guards were scouting through the woods,
also cavalry belonging to the Fourth Yir-
ginia regiment; and il il very uncertain
who shot this unknown man II twenty
Union men had been found dead it would
not have created as much excitement as
did the finding OF this one rebel create
among the secesh of the neighborhood. Ii
Union soldiers are TO be arrested and pun
Ished for trying to clear the country Of
guerrillas aud protect the lives and prop
erty of Union men, we might as we'll give
up the contest at once and let the rebels
have the cOuutry.
The government will have to change il
policy OF this rebellion will never be crush
ed out. When the home guards and
military arrest spies and traitors and send
them to headquarters. they let them take
the oath and give q little Pititul bond auG
return them to their homes, to give infor-
nation to robbers and thieves to come in
to kill and rob Union men.
Messrs. Editors, if the government will
not protect them, the people of DOddridge
county will rise en- WaSSe and clear the
county of rebels and sympAthizers. We
would have no raids and ineursious il it
were not for these symPathizers amongst

Messrs. Editors, if the civil or military
authority Furnishes these men, it will give
encouragement to the rebel cause in Dod-

PE4RoLEuN V. Massey, whose letters we
have been publish hing, is a representative
Copperhead. He aud his congregation
held meeting since "Vallandigum's" de.
feat and resolved that inasmuch as the
people had discarded Val. and his priuct-
pIes, and iuasmuch as the people were OF
more use to him and his congregation than
Val. and his principles, that they therefore,
also discarded the Canada man and his
cause. They further resolved that, if they
knew themselves, they never had been
for "vallandigum."
So tits with the Copperhead sheets now.
1t was a great mistake on the part of the
public to suppose that such newspapers
ever desired the "apostle's" success.
One can hardly tell whether to be more
amused or disguised at the hypOcritical
pretenses of such prints.
