The following communications Vhave been mislaid, yet we presume h they will answer their missions at pres- a ent, just as well as though they had I Q been published two weeks ago. cCARLISLE; Aug. 3, 1866. t;Editor Union: r1I visited your town a few days ago, c and took a walk over to the Court i t1House, as I had some business to s transact there with the august assem- (J blage there convened. There I learned that on the first day of the term of I csaid court, his honor Judge Eekles |s had given thiptain McCormick and company leave of abscence until the * second of said term, on account ofsickness in the Captain’s family. And ^ on the day set for their appearance j1 the companyjappeared to a man and to their surprise learned that during theirjabsence the Judge had suffered Major General Andrew Humphreys to run in his famous false imprisonment suit, and thereby gained a judgement M*- Magainst said company for twenty-five] ] thousand dollars as damages, and that the attorney for the defendants had made a motion for a re-hearing j( but was not granted by said Judge, who I think has not one drop of loyal blood in his veins. Great God, willnot the day yet dawn when that infamous hell-born tribe, known as the Sons of Liberty, will not have supreme sway over our court; I consider them the most corrupt and darkest dyedt in every crime known to our laws, that ever existed since the worldbegan. Does not the innocent blood of Fletcher Freeman cry from the ground against them for vengeance, why does not his ghost haunt them by day, and by night, until they cry out for the rocks and hills to full upon them and hide them from the vengeance to come. Murder, arson, perjury, treason and larceny, are a few of the crimes they will have to answer for.at the bar atj3orae future day,when a just judge will say to them depart ye cursed, for I never knew ye; then a certain pretended divine will find out that there will be a fearful judgment entered against him, from which there will be no appeal, there he will find out that the language of the poet is not exactly correct, which says, “My crimes are great, but do not surpass the goodness of thy grace;” then he will find cut that it is not every one that says, ‘‘Lord, Lord” shall enter into thekingdom of Heaven, theie he will have to take the left hand road withthe motleyest crew that ever disgraced iiis mighty kingdom. In times past I was a disbeliever in the doctrine ofan endless punishment, hut now I discard all such belief, as a just God would prepare nothing short of fire and b mstone for the aforesaid crew.Mr. Editor excuse my blunt way of expressing myself, as I get warm when I think of the past, that they held daggers at our soldiers backs, and refused to help feed their families in their ahscence, that they discouraged enlistments n every n agin able way, that they had set the day for our destruction and that they burnedthe beautiful Johnson chapel to the ground.
