Il number OF rouR hs for being a staunch Repub-

he excited the eumity and yitupsration OF a lot
of Copperheads Tor making q display OF Repub.

OF hr. Shirley, so disguised as to be uarecog-

ab-eLt, the servant answered the call, an no
sooner opened the door than the masked rutfians
rushed INTO the hall and malt ted the young
lady. Ascertaining that Mr.. Shirley was not az
