—We have seen a few of our soldier
boys from this place and vicinity who
have returned from captivity in south
ern pens. Ono of them, Burns Coder,
who was paroled, has returned home
in this place. Ho states that ho was
captured at the battle of the Wilder
ness, and has been confined at Ander
sonville, Ga., for seven months, His
daily rations consisted of a pint of
corn meal, And some water. This, of
course, lessened his weight considera
bly, though ho is now regaining it ra
pidly. lie says that the representa
tions of the newspapers in regard to
the treatment of our mon in tho rebel
pens do not convey the full idea of our
soldiers' condition. Coder has re
ceived his discharge, having served
his country (together with the rebels
by compulsion,) for three years:
An Outrage.
Two weeks ago, the 'Monitor pub
lished an article under the head of ' , A.
'Loyal' Outrage," in which the editor
done some of the parties taking part
in the affair great injustice. We give
the following statement, by an eye
witness, as the truth:
'On Monday, the 20th ult., two drun- :
ken Men who called themselves sol
die es j went toWilsotistckyn; West.tp:,
in the hack from . Petersburg. They
went into the hotel - at the former
place, called for whiskey, and after
drinking offered bogus money for pay
to the barkeeper and also to LONVIS
lielfright, the hackdriver. Both, of
course, refused to take it, whereupon
they told them to "go to 11-1 for their
pay,'sand gaVe them nothing.
About the same time Jno. B. Frazier
came to the hotel in a one-horse sled
and tied his horse to a hitching post;
these soldiers came out and loosed the
horse With the intention of driving off.
Mr. F. tied him again, and again they
untied him, at the same time drawing
a revolver and threatening to blow him
through it ho.further resisted. After
this occurred they told him they came
to arrest him as a deserter, and that
they would compel him to haul them
wherever they wished to go. Without
telling him where they were going
they started towards Neff's Mill,.
(Mooresville); when on the road they
asked Mr. F whether there were any
more men in the neighborhood who
had been drafted. Mr. John Miller,
who was near them in a; sleigh on his
Way home from Petersthirg, was poin
ted out as being ono. Miller, 'Frazier,
drunken soldiers, and all, stopped at
the store at Mooresville. Miller, in
the meantime, learning that Frazier
was in their custody, ho told them to
release him, (Frazier,) as ho was a re-
sponsible .and civil nian 7 had been
drafted but was honorably discharged,
and was no deserter. They then at
once asked 'fuller whether ho was not
a conscript, when ho answered that it
was none of their business. They then
pitched at him and attempted .10 do
him and take him to Frazier's sled; in
this they failed—Miller got 16oso and
ran into the store very much excited
and asked for a pistol or .gun. He
then went out and the ruffians again
took hold of him. Mr. D. S. Walker,
who was near, stepped in and tried to
persuade them to desist, as they cer
tainly had no right to arrest those
mon. They at once dropped Miller
and caught hold of Walker, and were
Abut to drag him to the sled,' when
Henry Neff came up and interfered in.
the citizens' behalf, asking them what
authority they had to arrest those
meri,.for ho knew them both to have
'been discharged more than two months
before, and that he was certain they
had never been.sent to take them.—
They then let Walker go and made at
Neff most furiously and attempted to
tie him. Ho broke loose from them
and looked round for a stone, but see
ing none he asked for a hatchet; he
then told Frazier ho was a fool if ho
went further with them, for they were
nothing but a pair of drunken bullies
acting with no authority from any
ono. They then turned their attention
to Frazier,—had a pistol and :fired it
off, to frighten the crowd, as was sup
posed, into submission. In a short
time they again approached Neff and
asked him if he-had asked for a hatch
et to use upon them; Noff replied that
he had, and that he should have split
them through if ho had got it. Upon
receiving this answer they attacked
Neff morefuriouSly than before, flour
ishing their pistol, and making some
passes at him with their fists. Neff
again got loose, ran into the store and
seized a hatchet and told them the
first ono that took hold of him again
was a dead man, if ho could kill him.
The cowards drew their pistols but
stood. at a respectful distance, and fi
nally left the house.
While this was going on, Miller
went to a house near by and asked for
a gun; not being able to got ono he
went up to his own house and looked
for his discharge papers, thinking that
be might in this way got rid of his
troublesome companions. He discov
ered, however, that ho had sent them
to Hollidaysburg previously, and
of course could not show them. His
pursuers soon followed him, went to
his house and compelled Lim to go
with them to Petersburg: He went
in his own sleigh as before; his wife
went with him, and had a cowhide for
the villains' backs. Miller told them
if they would lay down their firearms
ho would "lick" them both belay° they
Would start.
. „ .
They all Went to Petersburg, where
Dr. Orlady stated to Miller's (black)
guards that he knew him to have been
discharged on account of physical dis
ability; so they released him. Mr.
John Dopp, ticket agent at Petersburg,
examined Mr. Frazier's papers and
pronounced them genuine, but the fel
lows insisted it was "d—d forgery,"
and held on to him. No understand
when they reached Tyrone they had
got sober, and then agreed that Fra
zier's papers were all right, and want
ed him to go back. He refused, and
made them go with him to Hollidays
burg.
To sum up all—These "guards"
were a rough pair, evidently bent on
mischief—perhaps to make a little
money. They met on their way up
from Petersburg, John Armen, with a
sled load of wheat; they stopped him
and told him he must turn round and
take them up the valley ; he gave them
a short answer, when they reached
into their pockets for a pistol and
swore they had arms; he swore he bad
arms, too; they then told him he might
go. He said ho guessed so, too, for if
ho got at them ho would "tan their
hides like h—l."
When they Were on their way down
in the evening they mot a man who
said something to them that seemed
to offend their dignity; they jumped
out of their sled with pistol in hand
and tried to catch him, but he got out
of their roach. '
Wo would add, further, that Capt.
Lloyd, upon being informed of those
soldiers' misconduct, ordered their ar
rest immediately. He was very sorry
that the affair had taken place, and
would do his utmost to prevent it b'e
irig repeated. He said they had no
business in that neighborhood, and
were entirely outside of their bounds
of operation.

Important Internalßevenue Decisions
By decision of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, the roceipt giv
en to a sheriff by a plaintiff or his at
torney, for money collected upon a
judgment is subject to stamp duty.
where the amount of such receipts is
for a sum exceeding twenty dollars.—
Such receipt cannot be held to be ex
empt under the provisions of the stat
ute exempting receipts given for the
satisfaction .of any. mortgage, judg
ment or decree of court; but a receipt
given by the sheriff to that defendant,
upon payment or satisfaction of the
judgment on the return of the sheriff
upon the order of execution, can be
regarded as exempt from stamp du
ty.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue has made the following decision:
A bond given to procure an, appeal is
exempt from stamp duty as EL bond, it
being given 'in a legal proceeding;
whoa however, such bond is the pro
cess by which the case is transferred
from an inferior to a superior court, it
is subject to stamp duty of fifty cents
as an appeal. An alias summons is
not au original process, but an inter
locutory once issued in a suit which
has been commenced and is standing
upon the docket of the court, and in
such cases, the original summons hav
ing been duly stamped, such alias
summons would be exempt from
stamp duty.
