would be better TO let tho law take ts course, and
that full Justice would be done.
Thus matters remained up TO Saturday last, when
the body of Captain j. Z. MnlhareD, who had been
killed at the battle Of Gettysburg bad arrived at
III. fathers bouse in ttis place, tor internent. The
cemetery is about half nile from town. The Rev.
DR.. Weakly, Chaplain OF the 75h Ohio, was 70
preach the funarsl at the cems'ery, at O'Clock ,.
N. The citizens generally, and all The soldiers In
town and neighborhood, turned out in body to Ct.
tesd the funeral.
| On their return or before they left town, Judge
OF the surprise that occasioued by the Dforma.
tlon that the prisoner was out Of jail and gone.
Indignation was depicted upon every countenance
OF both sexes, and but few could tell how 1t haps
pened. Upon further inquiry il appears the wires
were hll laid, and plans were ell previously ar.
ranged, the decision had been made, aud as soon ~
the funeral procession had left town for the ceme-
terry, by some butternut bocns-pocus the prisonss
was brought before Masistrae ior the stabbing Of
the aforessid Hinkle.
He was held to bail in TIE sum Of $500, which, e.
previously arranged, was speedily secured. and ths
prisoner discharged. His ifeods were present. ~
Ireco1certed, ard hurried him out Of town, and
Thus Reichard made bis escape. Great excitem
followed this public outrage az matter Of course.
Attorneys cay the whole proceedings are illegal, and
that warrants should be ISSUED tor his arrest On the
ohsr cases. This, believe, was done On Saturday
evening.
In the meantime, some two or three Butternuta
of informing him Of the contemplated attempt -
arrest him. The result was, that three OF these
Vallandig ghammers wers severely beaten, and some
secesh blood was spilled bat one was fatally In
ured. Az one time, there was 80 much excicemens
that the most serious conseq quences were feared.
Some peTsons went TO RelcnaIds house to arrese
him, but he was not to be found, and ID now probs-
bly secreted by his friends.
Great excitement still prevails this morning, ana
a public meeting is 70 be held this evening TO In
yestigae the matter, and ain, IT possible, who
il 70 blame for the prisoners escape; and woe VIII
be to the guilty ones this matter, Tor 1t would
have been better for them il they had never been
born. The cauee OF all these things may b
briefly stated. We have traitors here, and syDpa-
thzefs with treason in al its forms. The we8rinS
n Butternut breastpin, the carry ing OF the Rebel
flag the baliOoing for JEFF. Davis Or Valandigbans
are all alike the emblens OF treason and an exhi6i.
