vote accordingly. They should have

HThe Wheeling Intellingencer
of the 18th furnishes a local item,
which we would like to publish en-
tire If our space permitted. The
facts are these: A notorious BUSH
whacker named George Duskey is at
present looking through the bars of
the Jail in that city. He is one of
the meanest cut-throat rebels out of
Hades. But mean as he is, one Mrs.
Mary Briggs happened to make his
acquaintance, and as anecessary con-
sequence fell deeply in love with
him. The keeper of the prison fin
ding Mary in the habit of slipping
little comforts to George, refused
her permission to visit the Jail. At
a late hour on Wednesday night
hearing a noise back Of che Jail, he
took light snd walked round to see
"what was up" On nearing the
spot he heard something ''drap". ard
stoopIng down to pick up small
parcel, fell something fdrap' in the
shape Of woman, upon his back
1t was Mary, who had been endeav-
oring to pnt the package into
Geogre's cell by means of a longe
pole, but was startled by the sudden
appearance ofthe jailor, and the pack
age dropped.
The distance Mary jumped is
given as fifteen feet. She broke her
leg above the ancle. Still she fought
like tigress for the package, de-
claring she would rather die than
give 1t up.
But she finally yielded and now
lies in Jail in critical condition.
The contents of the package were a
bottle of chloroform, bottle of nj
tTie acid, chisel, box of steel pens
two love letters written by Mary, a
copy of the Freemans Journal and
a copy of the Cincinnati Enquirer
Good stock of goods to have on hand
that is, particularly the latter.
Wewould like to publish the let
tiers but want of space forbids.-
Suffice it to say they are regular speci.
mems of secssh literature get up to Or
der and brimful of love. The ad
dress on the envelope is as fol
lows:
Captain George Duskey C. S. A.
from his betrothed wife, ,Chie confined
in a Lincoln Bastile in Wheeling
Va.
The contents may be inferred and
60 to show that when a woman once
sets her mind on any thing she is
bound to succeed or break her
leg in the attempt.

LONG, HARRIS AND VALLAN-
DIGHAM-THE ILLUSTRIOUS
TRIUMVIRATE OF TRAITORS.
The political caldron has been
made to bubble and seethe, by the
infamous speeches of Long and Har-
ris.
The House of Representatives
passed a vote of censure on Benz. g..
Harris member from Maryland who
chose to take up the cudgel in de-
fence of the E,h;asS.szitnr Le-s, ~-.d
who exceeded him in the vileness of
his abuse ofthe Federal Government
The particular language for which
he was censured was as follows.
"The South asked you to let them
five in peace. But no, you say you
would bring them into submission.
This is not done yet and God Al
mighty grant that it never may be.
I hope that you will never subjugate
the South.'
A resolution to expel him, was iln-
mediately offered by Washburn,
which requiring two thirds vote
failed to be carried. The vote stood
81 to So. A majority of % voted for
his instant expulsion. General
Schenck, however, at once offered a
resolution of censure, and on this
vote was seen the greatest panic
among the Copperheads. AS voting
for 1t would be censuring, and voting
against it approving treason, the
Democracy found it necessary to
vamose on the double quick. Only
eighteen dared to vote at all. Forty
are found to dodge the question, and
thus prove to the world that they dare
not put themselves on the record against
treason.
To the voters Of the 11th district,
it may be of importance to know
how their member Hon. Wells A.
Hutchins voted. For this purpose
we give the vote.
For censure, S. S. Coxl!!!!!

~The United States court of

900 for the value of the Government

HThe notorious Major Turne

HThe notorious Major Turner
commander of the Libby prison at
Richmond has permitted such indig-
t les to be perpetrated upon them
prisoners confined there, that his
name must forever be coupled with
infamy and detestation. Yet the
father of this Major Turner, a bitter
rebel as his son; resides in a large
stone mansion ON the Rapidan, and
when our troops have been down
there, the Federal officers have
placed guard around his house to
protect it. Truly it is safer to be a
Rebel within the lines than q Union

NTha Grand Inry of Fairfield
County at the late term of the Com
mon Pleas Court held in Lancaster
was composed of thirteen Copper
heads and two Union men. As a
consequence they found an indict-
ment against John See the murderer
of the two Union soldiers, for muir
der in the second degree. At the
same session, this beautiful conclav e
of Copperheads, found a bill against
poor girl, who, in the agony of her
shame and sin it is said, killed her
child, for murder in the first degree.
The lives OF Union soldiers are Of
little value in the estimation of that
Jury, and he who deliberately takes
them away must be screened from
the operations of the law. Yet when
poor ignorant deceived girl is
brought before them on charge of
infanticide, they become highly i'm
pressed with the necessity of vindi-
eating the law. See, the murderer,
has been released on $4,000 bail
Does any body suppose that he will
ever be convicted of even murder in
the second degrees If they do they
will please remember that the distin-
guished Vallandighamer and Copper
head P. Van Trump is the Judge OF
that Court.

in congress few days since used
these words. "Much better would

to consent to a division Of our mag

traitor was a candidate for the seat

crat and in favor of a vigorous pro-
