Chancy 's family in a very rediculous manner. drew his pistol and attempted to shoot his (Chancy's) wife applying all kinds of ludicrous epithets <hr /> to her and was only prevented from carrying his atrocious designs "into Execution by the timely interference of a friend" Said Ragan on the same Evening & the next morning made threats against the life of James Chancy "On Sunday morning Chancy & Ragan meet where & when an altercation Ensued which resulted in Chancy shooting Ragan, He (Chancy) had a hearing before a "Copperhead" Court (viz. Judge Sloan) who refused to admit him to bail. He is now laying in jail ironed & pinioned to the floor under the surveilence of a Copperhead jailor who neglects to furnish him with half rations and fresh water but once in three days. Chancy's loyalty is undoubted <hr /> "he has ever been a quiet and peaceable Citizen has a large family three sons in the Union Army - he has ever been a strong supporter of the Administration and the Government. On the the other hand Ragan was a pensioner upon the Government - from a slight wound received in the Early part of the rebelion, but notwithstanding this, all his associations were with the butternuts and those who delight most in abusing the Government, And after he worked himself out of the Army I have ever doubted his loyalty, nor does this doubt rest with me along. Chancy's strongest, and I might almost say, his only persecutors are the butternuts. <hr /> Now Genl. what I am driving at is simply this, whether you could mete out the ends of justice both to Community and to Chancy by rescuing him from this "Copperheads Hell" or at least from the hands of this Copperhead "Cleak" and enlisting him in the army.
