_ ___--II——9JOHN MORGANSince Morgan** raid in tbia part of th# bounty, some person* have been eery anx-otti to get their neighbor* into disrepute We have no doubt, that one or two are guilty of act* ofb**ene*i and meanness, but that one tenth part of the tales we bear are true, no sane man believes. We have heard ir stated, that aome allowed their neighbors horses and told the lebeli whoie farms to go to in order to get good horses If this can be proven, the party is guilty under the criminal code and should be severely dealt with. Let any person knowing these facts, see that the law is executed.Another clasa equally as servile and base, lake particular pain* to report every democrat as a seckssiox sympathizer, who bad the good luck to get his horaes back. Kven Ur. Fry, the Post Surgeon at New Albany is very much anoyed at the idea that we got our Indian poniea back. He had belter return Spencer B. Pengh his pistols we hear be is using. Others in other plsees seem severely grieved because of the fsct, that ourself and Dr. Wilson succeeded in getting part of our properly bark. They want to know if it is not prool potilivt, that both are in league with ike rtbcla. At for ourself, we cau tell all desirous of knowing, that it was because of th# treatment by ourself as commander at Edgefield Tennasse, and the good eon duet of the men under our command toward the citizens, that gave os recomraen dationa to the rebel officers that went through, aided perhaps to some extent by the “Mystic tie.*' What mean* were employed by Dr. Wilsoo, we do not know nor particularly care.But aa the Republicans, soma at least, are so anxious *o fix odiem upon both of us, what will they say because Morgan placed a guard over all of Hon. Thomas Slaughter’* property at Corydon. He never was a Democrat, What will they say about Thomas Allen getting bia horses returned; and he never was a Democrat? Wha'. of Joseph Trueblood, a Quaker, to getting a part of bis returned, and every body know* be never waa a Draocrat? Now is there any sense in the allusions and sneers concerning democrats, then they roust with equal force, apply to ihose Republicans who obtained a return of their property.We think it a foolish piece of business, and it is only for political effect, and the persoas who make use of such statements believe they are telling lies when thej make them.
