SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE ON GES. SToSR-
MAE-An exchange says the gallant
Gen Stoneman, who was recently re-
leased from a rebel prison, was assaulted
by the Comprehend proprietors Of an
eating saloon at Wellsville, on the Ohio
river, few days ago. The General
with his family had stepped into the sa-
loon to get some tea, taking with him
eolored nurse to feed his child, as they
had had nothing after leaving Altoona.
While taking their meal a woman stepped
up and informed the General that they
did not permit niggsrs to eat at the
same table with white folks He replied
that only his own family occupied the
table, bat 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 de.
mauded his fare. Gen. Stoneman re-
ferred to the insult he had just received
from the woman Tho man then struck
him on the side of the face, and brother
of the proprietor coming in, struck him
again aud dragged him from his chair
by the hair, aad the two continued kick
ing aud beating him in . most brutal
manner. He vas finally released, but
not until be had been severely bruised
and laeerstsd. MIRA StonemAn, who at
tempted to interfere in her husband 1
behalf, was rudely thrust aside by bis
assailants Such is the spirit which
Copperheads manifest towards the brave
men who have suffered in defense o
their country.
