the war'for some time,a prominent Office-holder
in Franklin county stepped up and introduced
hlnisellto the rebel General. Jenkins said that
he ought: to refine shaking him by the - hand.
The office-holder desired to know the reason of
suck treatment. Gen. Jenkins askedthc pee.
Gan, "are you the D—t from this
county?" "Yes," was the reply. "Then yon are
a regular copperhead." . "That is what they call
4124" replied the office- holder: To which therebel
General replied, "Lincoln ought -to have hnng
you. and the rest of the copperhea.ds long ago.
Wwwould not tolerate - any such men in the

When Rutter was superseded by Batiks, Lea
cock, trusting to the more lenient system of
government then inaugurated, ventured back
to New Orleans. He soon managed to attract
attention, however, was arrested by order of
General Banks, and on refusing to take the oath
of allegiance, was again banished. „He returned
to the vicinity of Harrisburg, and has no dOubt
been since busily employed in furnishing' such
information to his Southern masters as he could
collect, having been arrested last week by Corder
of General Schenck. Yet the arrest of this
sanctimonious-traitor and spy is made the pre
text for an outrageously distorted statement in
the Patriot and Union, under the caption "Crucify
Him ! Crucify Bum !"—intimating that the Gov
ernment is dealing with Leacock as the Jews of
with the Redeeiner. For such base wretches
as, the authors of this sentiment, hanging is too

will look to it that parties in this approaching

him over the head with a gun, and left himfor
dead ; when, the victim appealed for mercy, he
was told , that he - ,wan a d--d• Yankee, and

"are ineffaceable, add they are to me so many

" Well,' said the Butternut, to whom the
