Western States, among them one beaded "lae
f-i.d - this desired much 70 bring through.
II was one of the most bitter and abusive articles
read. but after had started | found the paper
containing it missing. This oompes me 70 give the
substance Of the article from memory, aui 70 refer

Of what he said.
This Mr. Editor the pith o the article and only
regret that have the paper leave with that
the Iri.hrnan vho NAV inclined 10 dispute it might
call ana read for himself. For the truth of what
have here said in relation the mttterf refer t. Lieut.
Colonel MATsoN ami Major \. J. SSirTH, both of the
9TH Indiana Cavalry, and who wished me- to saw the
paper and carry it home.

Won are true to the oath have taken support the
Government fighting for, throw off the coils %
those Northern tuerilias. who their hearts,
aud trarnpa under that flag which has protected
them upon land ami AMI who. upon all occasions

In conclusion. I must be permitted to express
surprise seeing mon. not only SvmpathlzFnZ with

! will here remark also that while was in the aH
vari at Charleston. south Carolina. ] tad that
u. w. Noorhees would be tho nominee of the Demo-
cratic party in District, bat ot the nomination

done through spies anil uirc-workcrs who would sell
their useless lives the power that seeks - over

This Is a sad picture @ contemplate and how
