About Cox.

The Fremont -hcssenger, edited by Capt.
Van Talkenburg, who served his time out
in the army, and was part Of the time under
Gen. Cox, gives US a little talk" about
Cox in answ ring 'squib" of tile CLce
vile Union: '. ,j.E. ''.'".g+ .'.'i
ABOUT Cox-A.poor deludcd cuss who
edits the Circcviilt TuiW SAYS that we arc
''conteniptible hotlnd'' What for? Be
cause we intend to strike hard and heavy
against Brigadier BIindIe Coxl 1t seems
as if: Abolition editors still think they ''con-
ihand here, and that to every Democratic
soldier who comes home in triumph from
the the wars. all they have to say to him is:
Come here, you pretty little soldier in
blue, how kind you were to fight and let me
stay at home and call your Democratic faith
ers and brothers id Coppelheads traitors,
scccSsionists and butternuts, and endeavor
to get them hungl Come, now, brave boys
in blue, come up and vote for Cox Ober;
lin niger and all! That 5 played out, and
hound or no hound, Nr. CGici~iHe Union,
aud all others, we say to you chat your con
temptlblc hypocrisy is understood. For
four long years yeu have been bowling your
patriotism you lave rantcd and canted,
but who ever heard of you going to the
front! There was the place to make your
pretensions good. You never done it, but
whenever battle acd$ won by Democrats
and Republicans in the field, you would
gather Oh the corners and with windy glsto
tell what you done-thcn 90 in, might and
main, christian or sinner, preacher or lay
man, and damn the Democrats! You ali
know that this is true, as well as you all
know you are a set Of miserable cowards,
aha the Cnclcyilc [Ti0n man win out
.''Fe know Cox too well to indorse him,
Beside we are Democrat and have no idea
Of supporting anything but Democratic
principles. We know that Cox is in favor
Of Negro Suffrage, aud vet is too cowardIy
to answer u soldier letter and acknowledge
it. We know That Cox as a General was
Dopluiag, and if not n real coward, a re-
markable tilnid man in the vicinity of gun
powder.-it didn't agree with his nerves.
Ask the dead men at Cross Lanes who sent
Tyler there with handful of men, beyond
SUPPORT, against five thousand rebels, and
could they speak they would tell you that
Cox did it because ''hc wanted to see wheth-
er Tyler was a coward or NOT" What a
harmless ex pertinent! Who was the lag
gard at Scarey? The soldiers who were
there will fell you! We know he once left
the gallant 23d. Col. Hayes, to get out Of
perilous situation the best they could"
and they did, but no thanks to Cox; we
know that he was afraid Of Humphrey Mar
shal; we know about the battle Of South
Mountlin, whe the regiments who were
under Cox in West Virginia won such
glorious record, when old Scnmmonmarched
his men on their hands and knoos on
charge upa hill and routed the enemy too.a
Bullets flew thick and fast among the boys
of West Virginia, but we do not reeollect
that Cox was gunpowder smoke hung
heavy there. No officer in the army, unless
it was the seoundrel Hunter, was less be-
loved by the men under them than Cox
