The following from the Cumber-
land Times confirms specifically all
that the JOURNAL averred generally
1t is evident to an observer of any
penetration that Martin Hall, the
tramp printer, is not ofthe material o.
which penitentiary convicts are made
Knowing nothing of his history be-
yond few disjointed, fragmentary
scraps let fall by himself, it is a mat,
ter Of some satisfaction that our iudg.
ment is confirmed by apparently
well informed and highly respectable
biographers, and especially as our
fairness of criticism was impeached
in this case:
One day last week we noticed the arrest
of tramp printer named Hall, charged
with being drunk, stealing n pistol and
shooting it in the kitchen of q citizen over
the creek. Yesterday we received letter
from Mr.. George P, Sargent, of Phillippi
West Virginia, from which we take the
following:
"He was brave soldier and is now no
more responsible for what he does than Il
child. He was wounded in the head at
Gettysburg and lost his leg in the Wilder
ness. lie was member of company A,
8lst Virginia Infantry, commanded by
Col. John Hoffman, HOW deceased He
has for a number of years tramped through
this section and invariably worked, or
rather tried TO work, in my office. We
always fed him, clothed him ard sent him
on to Randolph, from there he invariably
worked his way to Louisville, KY, where
his brigade commander, Judge w, l.,
Jackson, resides In year he would be
back again. He Is perfectly harmless,
and In my opinion should be sent back to
this State and confined in our asylum for
the insane lie had brother killed who
belonged to the regiment. Many of his
former c, mrades reside in this county.
II your authorities would correspond
with Hen. w. T. Ice, OF this place, iucge
of the 3D. judicial circuit; Mai. James
Sweeny, OF Wheeling; Dir. Jno. w. Bos-
worth, of this lace; Col. |. V. johnson
clerk Of the circuit court of this place, OF
James q, Hall, Esq, secretary of State
Grange of this place, they will confirm
what say. Please pardon my writing to
you, but am interested in the iale of this
poor waif OF the Lost Cause"
Our town has been unusually lively
this week. Excursion trains and nu
merous visitors.
