A COPPERHEAD PROBABLY KILLED!- D.C. Bishard, writing to his sister in this
city, from Pleasantville, Marion county, makes the following statement:
"On Wednesday night of last week, while driving the stage, I met three
fellows on horseback about three miles from Pleasantville. They had been to a
secesh meeting, and were going home. They stopped me and asked me if I was for
Jeff Davis? I told them that I was not.- They said they would make me hurrah for
Jeff Davis. I told them they couldn't do that thing. They then began to swear,
and drew their revolvers. As it happened, there were two soldiers in the stage,
who overheard the threats of the rebels. The soldiers slipped quietly out of the
stage, and one of them discharged his pistol at one of the fellows. I guess he
must have been struck for he groaned, and let his revolver fall on the ground.
He then started off as fast as his horse could carry him. The other two followed
in a hurry, with the bullets of the soldiers flying after them. I have got the
rebels revolver, and intend to keep it. I passed by the place, on the following
day, and saw blood on the ground. It is believed that he was killed, for a
strange, new made grave has been discovered in the grave yard."- State Register.
