2420 - L. July 14; ed:4/3 - Amos Coe, a not too well loved character in
this city, and one who has been loud in his threats against the govern-
ment, changed his tune on being notified of his being drafted and with
tears in his eyes begged for an extension of time to pay commutation.
Captain Nash granted his plea until July 12. At that time when Coe failed
to appear, a search for him was instituted, but he could not be found.
"We trust that every effort for his arrest may be put forth, for a
great and just dissatisfaction would arise if any decent man has to be
drafted to fill the place of so villainous a bully and Copperhead as Coe."
