When Mrs. Davis left home, it was at the hour of one o'clock in the night. A reliable Union man accompanied her to where he knew a bro the little one-horse abolition and Republican editors of the North be howling about copperheads, while such a woman as Mrs. Davis is robbed of her property, and has to flee for her life? Would it not be more chivalrous, gallant, and patriotic, for

When the musketry firing was heard in the morning, at dim gray dawn, it was supposed to be between the rebel marauders and Mr. Davis' few camp defenders. Under this impression he hurriedly put on his boots, andFederals! was his exclamation. Then you are captured, cried Mrs. Davis, with emotion.
