HiteuSt.‘rvwer-u rb-heCSP A very striking evidence ot the feelings ol the soldiers of the Union tor our Congressmen Voorhees, was shown Monday afternoon at the depot, as the train was about leaving for Indianapolis. A car loadoffm-loughed officers, soldiers and marines from the army of the Mississippi were on the train, on their wav from Vicksburg, and one of their number recognizing the placid features of Voorhoes. who was majestically paciug the j platform, made known his presence to the occupants of the car, when a Captain of an Ohio regiment got out of the car, walked up to Voorhees, and as if about to greet him, asked if his name was Voorhees. A sweet smile lit up Dan's face, and he answered in the affimative, and put out his hand as if to exchange shakes, but tho officer drew back and tcld him he wouldn’t shake the hand o a d—d copperhead ” and told him ho was a traitor, and if the soldiers had him Vicksburg they would hang him. It may be imagined that Voorhees felt chagrined rather at this pleasant greeting, especially as a large crowd of witnesses were looking on upon the interesting interview. jtoei|haatfriitC(it,rifpoGcas,emTRStP-IsetdeithetoeamistitotoStaanlt;eviup
