Milroy; Campaigning after Assault on Valley

MILROY.
During the progress of the struggle which evenutated in the overthrow of the liberties of the South, and brought in its train, negro suffrage and all its attendant horrors, an indecent creature with the form of a man and the instincts of a hyena, commanded for a time at Winchester. His reign was marked by the brutality of a Haynau, and the roguery of a Butler, and honest people reasonably concluded that after he was dislodged from his position in 1863, by Gen. Ewell, he never would have the meanness to return to the Valley of Virginia. But Yankee audacity knows no shame, and the thief who robbed the parlors of the citizens of Winchester during the war, presented himself last week on the theatre of his thefts, and essayed to teach the people their duties in the pending election. His reception was not one from which he could extract any great amount of comfort. He was hissed and hooted, but continued his remarks amid cries of “Spoons,” “Send Mrs. Logan’s silverware home,” “Bah!” “Where’s John Arnold’s Cow?” “General Ewell’s coming!” “You never did anything but steal, and rob, and burn houses when you were in the army!” “Yes, you helped to make this Valley a waste, &c.”
