CoPPERHEAD ARGUMENT.-HereWlt
we print an anonymous letter addressed
to DR.. G. w. Strohecker, of Chess Springs,
this county. Dr.. s. is an enrolling officer
in the service of the Government, and is
the same person that had horse shot
from under him, in the northeastern sec
ton of the county, one dark night not
long since, by some miscreant unknown.
TIE breathings- out of blood and slaughter
the epistle INDUCES in are absolutely hor-
rifying, and we would not be surprised if
the marrow in the bones of many of our
readers would become ice upon a mere
casual introduction thereunto. With this
forewarning, we transfer to our columns
the letter in question
CARRoLLTowN, Oct. 13, 1864.
q. W. STRoHECKER-Sir: | write, not that
I regard you in any way whatever, but to
give you little bit of advice and instruction.
You know that the people OF Cambria county
took you out of your poverty and rags and
made you what you are, IN pecunia-y sense,
Notwithstanding all your dement's. You know
YOU are incompetent to practice medicine
You know you are not fit to visit decent
woman. You know that you are not only
vulgar, but low, aud keep bad house, and
Notwithstanding your knowing all this, and
the people taking you up and doing SO much
for you, sir, you to reciprocate would rob
them of the last treasure they hold dear
You would bring calamities and distress upon
every family, and even death. Is it possible
that YOU intend TO or have the bold eifrontery
10 reside in this community The people
have borne with you and your abolition dogs
until fCrbearance has ceased to be a christian
virtue. You, sir, are the sole cause of all the
trouble. You have carried lies to Holidays
burg until you have got our loyal county pol
luted with Lincoln dogs, whereby you have
fred the hearts of American patriots to that
degree that nothing but blood will satiate,
and wo be 20 you, for you will be the first
example. And | now warn you that unless
all those soldiers removed out of this
county, and all those orders revoked by Mon
day next, there will not be left a remnant of
them, you or your property, and further do
assure you that Lincoln cannot send men il
sufficient numbers to save your dirty carcase.
Iwarn you to heed this not lightly, but give
heed fully, for by the eternal salvation of
5000 souls it must and will be fulfilled to the
letter if every Lincoln dog is not removed.
A CITIZEN.
The expressions "Abolition dogs and
"Lincoln dogs" of course refer to the
provost guard stationed in this county
Remember the stigma thus sought to be
attached 20 your profession, brave soldiers
in just cause-bear in mind that you
are classed by Copperheads (for only
Copperhead could write such letter. 10
the same category with dogst After this,
if Copperhead approach you with protes-
tations of love and gratitude, spit in his
face; and if that fails to double him up,
why, enact the legitimate role of "Lin-
coin dog" and bite him-that's all.
We do not care to adver. to this sense
less piece of gasconade further than to
remark that GALL those soldiers" were not
removed out of the county by the Monday
designated, that none of them have since
been either killed, wounded, or taken
prisoner, and that DR.. Strohccker at very
late advices was enjoying excellent health.
The world moves on as usual, and all is
quiet along the lines.
