derful phenomena of these wonderful
times. Time and again thinking pa

these nuisances and spies. Good mer

and their object was to "spy" through
the North, and stir up civil war here

cite riots and bloodshed among the peo.
pie of this State by calling every Dem
ocrat traitor. This man travelled
all over the State at the expense of the
Loyal Leagues, electioneering for
Brough, and denounced and belied
and slandered beyond measure the
Democratic party, as traitors, &c.
He was an intense pattern of "Uncon-
ditional Unionism," land here is the
sequel of his history:
''The notorious Colonel. Hawkins is
now confined in the Militsry Prison
at Louisville. AS ftho Colonel has
many admirers in this city, some OF
whom lionized and feasted him at tur>
key dinners, we would suggest they
60 over and condole with their friend.
He was captured at the head of a
gang of cut-thrQat guerillas, near
Fort Donelson. Go over, by all means,

"We publish the above extract for
the benefit of that portion of our citi-
zens, who did at one time love Haw-
kins. But Hawkins, poor fellow, nev-
er loved us, and, in fact, We never
loved Hawkins. Should any Of those,
who in times past were wont to hang
on Hawkins coat tail and admire his
cavalry boots, wish to offer their SYM
psthy to the Colonel, we will refer
them to the editor of the New Albany
Ledger, who can give any desired in>
formation" - Decatur Magnet.
This man was the greatest pet and
hero that ever visited Cincinnati and
Columbus. He was idolized by the
abolitioaists Of those places beyond
all measure. Even their pretended
pious christians voted at the bidding of
this traitorous cut-throat and thief,
and voted many of their old neighbors
and friends ''to hell If those pla-
ces in Ohio where this scoundrel
spoke outlive this shame upon their
name, they will not owe their good
fortune to many who now flourish as
leaders and respectable people.
The.whole transaction is a severe
commentary Upon wild and revolution
ary abolitionism.
We fnd the following additional
history Of the Leaguers in Parsan

"CoL. HAwKINs.--A man calling
himself by the above title is lecturing
through Illinois and Indiana, and rep

jail-as belonging now to the I'd Teno
nessce cavalry--as being after deser-
ters, by appointment of General Rose
Grams. We have been written to from
both of these States for information.
We are not disposed to injure this man,
but the time has come when we must
set him right. Not one of his state
ments are true. His name is Hutchins
not Hawkins, and he is a Vermont
Yankee, and was imprisoned in Kings

years ago-not for his Union senti-

court to the Penitentiary, and was af-

He ought now to 60 10 work and quit
