I was in the main part of the city last
night us an observer, and, to say the
least, I was astonished, I have always
known that the lateS Spemoeratici
sympathizes'W with the rebellion, but did
not think they would express it so
openly as they did last night. 1t was
epopgh when4 heard their voices and
saw their rtransparencfes slandering our
best men, who have been long known
and trusted but when heard them
hurrah for JEFF. Davis and their band
play the Bonnie Blue Flag ~ knew
that it was not the "nigger" alone that
troubled then1s q also noticed busi4
ness place, The wind dows Of which were
lighted with Transparent colors show
ing seven stars. The fact speaks for
itself. i think, sfrs, that it behooves
Union men to turn ont in all their
strength from the present until next
Thnraday, for it dis time we were
getting tired Of traitors, in peace or
war. They want TO help pay the rebel
