We publish communication to-day
from a correspondent at Bourbon, who al
ludes briefly to couple Of fights ID tina,
fpiacs-last week, on the day the Copper,
heads met there to talk treason. The
statements in the Democrat of this place
as well as those in the Laporte Democral
relative to the fghts, we arc assured by re
liisble Union men. who live there. are ar.
rant lies from beginning to end. It's MOI
true that the soldier attempts to taxi
Neidig's butternut off. He merely request.
ed him to take IA off, as it was an offence
10 him, when Neidig threateued to knock
him down or whip him. The soldier
knowing he was not able to contend with
Nsidig. drew his pistol and told him il he
attempted to strike him he would shoe,
him. Ncidig. however. watched his op-
portunity and Knocked the soldier down
before the latter was aware Of his inten-
ton, and then pounccd on to him and was
beating him numerically when the pistol
exploded. Had the soldier killed Niedig.
if the statements made to US are true. it
would have been merely an act of self.de-
fence. Niedig had no .provocation to
strike him. and had no reason to fear be-
ing shot unless he FIRST assaulted him.
Boulton was not present at all during
the time Niedig was beating the soldier.
nor did he give the latter the pistol or en-
courage him to assault Niedig. and the
statement in the Laportc Democrat. writ
ten by that prince Of liars. Mark Packard.
is utterly aud wholly false. as is the rest
OF the statements he makes in regard to
Boulton getting whipped. The Copper
head attacked Boultoa while he was pour
ing water on the wounded soldier, and
struck him two or three times before Boul
ton conld get blow at him.. The crowd
soon became so compact that B. could not
strike his antagonist at all. but he succeed
ed in getting hold of his throat and chok-
ed him until his tongne hung out Of his
mouth. Copperhead would doubtless
have cried enough but could not speak =
Bsulton. we are told. afterwards offered
the Copperhead to fight it out with him,
but he declined the challenge.
The Copperheads arc welcome to all
such victories as they obtained over Boul-
ton. III 6ta Brow sg1T Eafl4 3
