SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE ON GENERAL SToNBMAN.
The gallant General StOneman, who was re-
Gently released from a Rebel prison. was assaulted
by the Copperhead prOprietOrs ofan eating saloon
at Welsville, on the Ohio river, few days ago.
The General with his family had stepped into
the saloon TO get some tea, taking with him
Coored nurse to feed his child, as they had had
their meal, a woman stepped up and informed
the General that they did not permit "niggers'
TO eat at the same table with white folks. He
replied that only his own family occupied the
table, but told her to let the nurse have another
table. Soon after, and before the General had
finished his meal, one Of the proprietOrs came
along and demanded his fare General SOneman
referred to the insult he had just received from
the woman. The man then struck him on the
side of the face, and brother of the proprietor
coming in, struck him again and dragged him
from his chair by his hair, and the two con-
tinued kicking and beating him in a most brutal
manner. He was finally released, but not until
he had been severely bruised and lac rated. Mrs.
Stoneman, who attempted to interfere in her
husbands behalf was rudey thrust aside by his
Assaiants. Such is the spirit which COpperheads
manifest towards the brave men who have suf-
fered in defense ottheir country.
