Another outrage hy bOlhiola.
Among The recent oulfnges charged ur.
90 mon wearing the United States uni
form AN emblem that uscd TO bctyuouy
nous with order aud pcntlly in the wear.
cr-lhc following statement is made by q
citizen Of this county, who was the victim
/ "Gcorge Hoover citizen Of Goshen
township, went down tho river on q raft,
On Monday the llth instant, about / o.
clock. A. NJ, he took the cars at Marietta
for Tyrone. AZ Harrisburg q regiment OF
soldiers, said to number 200, got aboard -
one soldier taking a seat along side Of MIR.
H. Soon after crossing the bridge above
Harrisburg one of tho aolGiers asked him
if he was q Mcclellan man, to which he
replied that "he was--that he had always
upheld that principle" They then said,
Mcclellan is damned traitor, and to-
ry, and copperhead, and they would
hang him and all his men they could
CATCH" Immediately his eyes were clasp
ed itom behind, a strap thrown round his
neck, and bis hands grasped 10y two men
who placed themselves upon his knees
lie knew nothing from this-being iusen-
sible-unGl after passing Duncanuon,
when by some means he succeeded in re-
leasing his neck enough 20 get his breath.
lie was then told that if he would give
three cheers for Lincoln they would spare
him" This he refused to do, whereupon
he was again seized, and remained lusen-
slble until the Conductor ana u Sergeant
came to his relief and Tut him oil the
train. As he leaped to the ground pistol
was fred from the car, the ball from which
he distinctly heard whistling in close proX-
unity to his head. lie then walked back
to Duncannon, about & mile and half
where he had to wait until 3 o'clock the
next morning"
This is the exact substance Of Hooyer's
statement, and from his unostentatious
manner, as well as from the character OF
the man, we are forced to believe he tells
but the simple truth, What brave men
such soldiers must be, What an honor
it must be 10 command q regiment Of such
heroes! Why, score of such men as
compose the Ponnsy lyania Reserve would
whip regiment of such towards any day.
?. s. Since putting the foregoing in
type, we learn that a car load Of watermcr
mostly Democrats when about to leave
Tyrone for Thilipsburg, first heard Of the
outrage committed upon the person Of
Mr.. Hoover. Their indignation was such
that they threatened to clean OUT every
Aboiilionist in the train, and did actually
compel one Of theu-a worthy citizen o..
this counly-io leave the car and 20 to
mother
This was wrong Unless the citizen re-
tcrred to, had given some provocation,
such rs i1s,,ryins, or cXcusing the out.
rage upon Hoover which is not alleged,
SO far us we have heard-ho was per
iectly innocent man, and any assault up
en- him, were totally without justification,
and his assailants can only plead their mo-
mentary excitement, and aroused iudig-
nation in extenuaton Of the offence.
The fact however, goes to show that
universal determination exists in the
breast ofeyery Democrat to rc'al1,c to
mFs saaydction-for every personal outrage
hereafter committed by the Abolitionists.
If they are wise, they will act accor ling
ly.

pleasant exposure, the said person will

forthwith.
