object the erection Of awoolcn factory in

I've learn that some time during
the fore part Of the present week, Mr..

an Irishman, down at tho station, and
struck him with his knife upon the side
of the lower jaw, cutting quite a cash.

TO recruit his impaired health. Mr.
Frank Brannen, who was taken prisoner
by the rebels while on picket duty. and
paroled, has arrived at home, looking
very hale and hearty. He says he was
we'll treated by the rebels while q pris-

$50. The colored Democracy Of this
township held q meeting last Saturday
evening at tho Curfman School house.
We are informed that tie principal
drift Of the speakers remarks were not
only opposition to the Republicans bu'
to the administration, and the manner
in which the war is conducted. They
also made themselves specially motor
ious for their bitter attacks upon some
Of our most loyal citizens. Is this not
direct evidence Of their own sympathy
with the rebels?
The principal speakers were Mcss,s
G. w. Irish and A. J. Kenney. The
political character Of any meeting is
well understood by all our peeple,
whenever they ascertain that tho for

former and foreign %prctensions to being

up to the business, 60 about with the
colored democracy knownto be opposed
to the present administrations crushing

for attacks upon us and other citizens
Of this town, We take the privilege Of
saying and publishing that he does not
nor never did hold any kind Of . regular
recruiting Commission from Adjutant
Gen. Baker, for q company Of sharp
shooters or any other company, and if
no wishes to lay . wager Of a few Or
many dollars upon that he can find his
sustomers. Gen. Baker aims to grant
com omissions to perfectly loyal men.
A small part of tie time was given to
a few Republicans who were there,
and Mr.. ]. H. Brush gave them some
very good patriotic remarks which Of
course discorded very much with their
own. Nj. - Wiley, a soldier Of 1912,
and who has never at least heretofore
been identified with the Republican
party. had his old patriotism fred,
