wiu This Governor TellP

GOV. Hayes was Lieut. Colone
Of the 23d Ohio Infantry, and was
soon made Colonel. The Regiment
was a good one, They went into
West VirL inia, and were in the ser
vice nearly year before they got
pay or new clothing, or had hopes
Of getting anything. "Old Rosy
was put in command, and when be
found out the condition Of things
he had the Regiment brought out
on parade; then, mad with just in
dignation, he whipped out his sword
aud, taking the commanding Off
Ger by the collar, told him il the
men were not immediately cared
for he would cut off his shoulder
straps. Now will Gov. Hayes be
kind enough to tell who that officer
was P Guernsey Jefersontdn.
The editor of the Jeffersonian
was in the army at the time, and
knows what he is talking about
ZanesviUe Signal.
Gov. Hayes Will never tell, for
the simple reason that no such in
cident, nor anything like it ever
occurred. If the editor Of the jeff.
ersonian "was in the army at the
time, and knows what he is talking
about" he knows that, with the ex
ception Of the opening sentences,
the above story is "every word a
lie, duer paid than the Turks trib-
ute." Gen. Rosecrans did not
command the army of West Vir-
ginia for "nearly a year, after the
23d entered it. The 23d suffered
the same hardships, as to pay and
clothing, as the 18th, 18th, 26th,
2Sth, 30th, 34th, seth, 47th, and
other regiments composing the
Kanawha Division. We were there
in person, and never heard much
complaint on either score from the
23d or any other regiment. If there
was anything amiss in the matter of
pay or clothing, the fault lay with
the commanding General rather
than the commander of a single
battalion.
We tell the editor of the JeiGer |
sonian, and every other man who Is
wicked or foolish enough to invent,
circulate, or believe such a lie, that
If Gen. Rosecrans had taken by the
collar the commanding officer Of the
23d, or any other regiment in that
under the circumstances
above narrated, he would not have
lived to win laurels at Corinth, Iu-
ka and Stone River, and finally to
be disgraced by being made the
Democratic nominee for Governor
1f Ohio. The lie is told to tickle
he ears Of the groundlings, draft
,neaks, and the lowest vulgar, for
whoever has served in the army
Knows that no soldier would suffer
such an indignity to be put upon
him without instantly putting the
lggressor to death, no matter what
lis rank might be.
Notwithstanding tho fact that
Gen. Rosecrans Ia now a Demo
cratic candidate, he was a thorough
soldier and a gentleman withal.-
His copperaead admirers have no
right TO SANDER him. He never
did, or thought of doing, any such
foolish, unsOldierly and ungentle-
manly thing as this Jetiersoniau
man attributes TO him; and even II
he could have so far forgot himself
as to undertake it, there was not

down to eighth corporal, who wo'd
