The Preside nt,s Gun


At great Untondisio ,al Union Meeting a,

spirited verses were read:
Ratify: ratify!-Ratify WHAT
The Presidents Pro, lam mation!
The heaviest gun that has vet been fired
At the enemies OF the nation.
"Dahlgrens" or "Unions'' are nothing like il
Those enemies to bother; -.
1t ranges and carries across the whole land
From one extreme to the other.
Hurrah hurrah for the Presidents gun
Well named "The Proclamation !"b1.a
Twas made Of the meta! Of stern resolve,
And run in the hearts Of the nation. Il.
Already the cheeks Of each traitor host
Arc white as their staple cotton
For they ind that their boasted corner stone
Was made Of a rock that is rotten.
~. -.~-' = 81
Henceforth let the Presidents gun advance
With the armies of the natita;
And morning and evening they'll all salute
The 'rifed" Proclamation.
And in future years: as the Stars and Stripes
In peace float out above it,
Wen strive TO teach the erring hosts,
Who hate it now, to love it.

Fiendish Outrage.
The CORPSE OF A UNION SOLDIER REsuRREc
TED BY coPPERuEADs.
From the Rochester Qnd) Chron. 26th ult.
On Wednesday Of last week was per-
petrated in our county, one Of the most dis
graceful acts which it has ever been our lot
to record, and which will brand tho guilty
participants. with infamy through their
whole future lives.
Our readers will remember the announcs>
ment in our columns, = few months since,
OF the death Of our esteemed fellow citizen
F. G. Hamlet, sold'ed in the goth Indiana
volunteers. About three months after his
death, his body was sent home for burial
among his friends, in accordance with his
last wish, and was duly inferred in Z grave
yard not far distant from his late residence,
i'm New Castle township. So long 4 time
having elapsed since his death the body was
OF course, much decayed, especially As it
was impossible for his son, who is still a
member of the 29th. to obtain an air.tieht
coftin immediately, and for this reason it
was deemed injudicious to open the coffin
when it arrived.
1t was but short time until some COW
ardly Copperhead started the story that Mr..
Hamlets body Ead. not been brought home,
but that tho coffin contained arms with
which the Aboli.ionists were about to com |.
mence war upon the innocent and unsus. .
pect'ns Democrats. With eyes staring
from their sockets, these bruoe men retailcd
the silly falsehood and, absurd a. the stu
Ip!d invention seemed to men of sense. the
whole hungry pack Of cowardly New Castle
hyenas swallowed it with delight, and
threatened to disinter the coffin. Few.
however deemed it possible that the wretchs
would carry out their threat. 1t seemed
scarcely possible that things could be found
in the shape Of men, that would desecrate
the grave Of neiyhbor, who had fallen in
the service Of his country. But par.izan
cowar'lice and hate reached far enough to
insult even the dead!
Accordingly. on Wednesday Of last week
= party Of some thirty or forty of the New
Castle Copperheads. armed with rifles, shot
guns, rsvolvers, &c., proceeded to the erava
and having stationed their pickets, to pre-.
vent interruption, commenced their infa
nous work.
In the mean time, the wife Of the deceased
and Mr.. Henry Hamlet, . brother having
arrived, protested against the proceedings
but in vain. The coffin was soon reached
and take" from the grave. The hyen.s
the" proceeded to epen it, but finding the
lid we'll secured. t'ey ,r,it it open ,oith an
a. and found-ths body Of the dead sol
der ! Their dev'lish nalignity being graf.
flied, they replaced the coffin in the grave,
and filled it with earth.
Let the poor soldier, who may fall in bat
tie or by dissase, tar away from home and
friends, 30 buried among strangers, for there
his bones may be undisturbed; no vandal
will desec1a'e his grave; it remains 70,
freedom hating potroous At home. to com.
nit such fendish sacrilege.
We are glad to say that portion Of tn.
so called Democracy ienouncc this outrage
though many Of them approve It.
