A Patriot Soldier.

The following is an extract Of an ar.
my letter, wrote by one who voted for
Vallundigham for Governor.
When voted for Governor last fall
at the little village of Enon, Ohio, ! was
told by an old gentleman that in three
months ! would not own that | voted for
c. l.. ", and sure enough, il is almost
as the old gentleman said. Well, own
il but um ashamed of il. But | hope |
may be forgiven for what wrong | have
done against the Government. Hercar.
ter will try and do better. II some Of
the Copperheuds up North would see the
state Of things down here I think Il
would be an improvement on them for
the Union. l wonder if they would as.
sist Southern raiders TO come into Ohio
TO burn towns, mills, barns, and rob the
State of her rich treasure, leaving wo-
men and children in . starving condition.
God forbid that such u visit will be
made in my native state, Ohio, where
we left our dear wives living in peace
and harmony, and have come South
to strike for freedom. am safe in say-
ing that nine-tentbs OF the boys would
like to go home, but not until we gain
the victory over secession and rebellion.
MOy God speed the time when we can
return again to our loved ones at home.
1t is distressing to see women and
children, hundreds OF whom have been
drawing rations from the United States
Commissory and quite a number of
them living at the depot waiting for
TRANSPORTATION North.

No WoRDs or REDUKE.-- The readers
Of the CoPPerhead papers must have
remarked that those papers offer no con-
demnaiion Of the frightful atrocities
perpetruted by their rebel friends at
Fort Pillow and Plymouth. This Is con-
sistent with their conduct since the re-
bellion commenced. They have always
been swift to find fault with Union Off
GERS and soldiers, and with the Union
government, but they have nothing but
kind words and commentator for rebel
soldiers, rebel officers aud the rebel
"Confederacy." Besides all this, they
have denounced and opposed every
measure adopted for a vigorous und
successful prosecution Of the war. The
man who does not see on which eide
these Copperheads really are, must be
b lind indeed.
