Engler, the Traitor

The Mo. Democrat thus alludes to Engler, who our readers will remember was exiled from St. Louis for his secession proclivities and resisting the order of Gen. Halleck to be assessed:

The exiled Engler is having a hard time in Cincinnati. The papers of that city beg Gen. Halleck to send no more of his kind over that way. The Gazette says he was inadvertently introduced at the Mercantile Library Association, whereupon a storm was raised among the members which was only prevented from growing into a regular tornado by the surrender of the complimentary ticket of admission.
