1t would be safe to say that that fellow
! never took up mnsket or sword fer the $50
called but remained quietly at home,
sacrificed all his poor relations in the war,
and finally visited his beloved Confederacy
as registered enemy, but returned to this
city within two weeks, only too glad to seek
the protection of the stars and stripes, and

save his little house and lot on Orange street.
The gentleman he so indecently accosted
was brave officer in blue, and has won for
himself marks of honor for deeds of daring
on the field of battle; and had he been in.
Glued to take the law into his own hands
could easily have squeezed the mean life
out of his windy assailant.
The name of our friend, late of the United
States service, can be learned at this office
and we can give the assurance that he is at
all times answerable for himself
