Davis sympathizer and administered a most awful drubbing, concluding by compelling him to shout twice, as loud as he was able, for Abe Liucoln. Then, allowing thc fellow to get on his feet, he cautioned him never to repeat that operation again in his pres ence, saying, I have fought Eebcls three years, and hall a brother killed by jusfc such men as you arc, and whenever a trai tor shout for Jeff Davis in' my hearing I will whip him or kill him."
