Richard Stilsi' Card.

VINO saw ut some time ago 10 hing the
, writer of The "spicy rejoinder" before the
) public. In his whole letter of half col
umn he proves nothing, but on the other
} hand makes some fiat deniaIs of what has
been published in our paper. showing his
connection with the "arresting affair."" his
cause for entering the army, sc. One point
that seems TO have touched his fine sehsi
biities as much il not more than any other,
is that he should have entered the army
: for his personal safety. This has been al
legged upon good authority. He, knowing
his situation, and fully und ersanding with
what high regard be was held bY his Deu,-
ocratic neighbors whom he was instrumen-
tai in having arrested and tried, and learn
ing that they were about 10 be released
no doubt preferred the service than that of
remaining at home among Them, as at FIRST
1t would have been very unpleasant to him,
unless be was entirely destitute of con-
science or feeling. he. of course, knew
little about soldering, and like many others
( got himself shot Had he entered the SER
vice earlier, and at a time when there was
less danger, he might have learned as many
OF his Republican friends did, from this
county, TO take Hospital protection, and there
by have saved his limbs. Bot he didn't do
so. He fought Ike hero, and we are not
so nngratefuI as tc deprive him of any credit
! for what he has done, or not TO sincerely
sympa;hize with him on account ot his
losses. But if be entered the service out of

AS TO your being waited upon "by son
OF the very man you was instrumental in
having arrested" We verify believed; and
with all your tws,ngs, turnings, and ad-
missions, We are perfectly willing TO leave
the matter Cat your suggestion) with the
young man himself. Without knowing
anything further On the subiect, we have
sufficient evidence to make out a srone
case, viz: he cooked al the Hospital, gave
you apples 10 eat, and occasionally called
10 see yeu; all of which you have admitted
You should be a ltlle careful in The future
Tor fear you might admit the whole matter,
and that would be more than we really
could expec! OF you. The Doctor examined

Mr. Stiles seems TO each at that "csrd''
which was published in our paper few
weeks since, signed By nearly all Of the
Fort Mifflin subjects, exonerating The edit
ors OF this Journal, as well as The editor OF
the Democrat, from being in any way the
cause of their arrest. He does not see the
name of so. Sickle 10 the 'csrd" what of
that's Had be had an opportunity 20 have
signed it his name more than likely would
have been attached. You do not see the
name of WILLIAM ROBERTS attached Fur !
ther sou do not see the name of PHILIP A. |

guilty OF having mtydsred and then turn /
round and say, we are gully OF :heir arrest
and imprisonment Justice is bound to
oVertake the men who were instrumental |
in bringing upon those people so much !
torment, suffering and expense. They de- |
serve condign punishment, and will surely |
receive It.
eft was all right with you'' until you |
wished 10 be elected Sheriff upon the Re- J
publican ticket and the Democrats refused |
10 vote for you. We refused 10 support you |
against the regular Democratic nominee,
which ycu wished us 10 Go, and il was then !
and for that reason that you refused any
longer TO give Us your patronage. II was
ofice not country that caused you to leave The !
Democratic ranks which your future as we'll |
as past course goes 10 prose. But you did |
not succeed we'll which is rather aslonisfl- |
ing TOO. Although, you have the consoIa-
tion o: knowing that, the "terribIe" mania
for Office has kilIed of many sRsaK man |
before you.
We fail 10 see what that "certain indI-
viduai living not far from Still Water has |
TO do with our newspaper controversy. You |
talk about this genlleman's having offered |
you "quite a SUN of money" to visit the
soldiers camp and perform certain things.
Now, the only thing strange that we see
about the transaction is, thai you didn't take
the money! Goodbye, RICHARD, prick your
pen and at Us again. Give him room Dr.,
and help him besides.
