t3T"The editor of tbe Copperhead Organ
In this plncc, notices the lute meeting at
Northumberland, as "a grand fizile," and
ays only forty-seven Totcrs were present.
Of course the company of eighty or one
hundred soldiers present, and who were so
handsomely entertained by the- ladies of
Northumberland, were of no account, as
copperheads do not acknowledge soldiers
s voters. Any meeting got up for the sup
pression of the rebellion, and at which Jeff.
Davis and his associates in treason are de
nounced, would hardly meet any favor in
the eyes of copperhead editors. W'c should
like to know from Mr. Purdy, whether he
ever was at a copperhead gathering, public
or private, at which Jeff. Davis, Floyd and
other arch-traitors and rebels, were- denounc
ed as such, and whether in their private
meetings, even harsh language is not avoid
ed, in speaking of our "erring Southern
brethren," who, themselves, do not hesitate,
in spcnkirf of our laborers and mechanics,
to call them "mud sills," and say they have
less respect for that class than their slaves.
Yet at these gatherings, such men as Gen.
Butler, Gen. Dix, Gen. Burnsides, Dickin
son, Holt, and other leading democrats and
patriots, are denounced. Can men, guilty
of such acts, be anything clso than rebel
sympathizers, to use a very mild expression.
And what are sympathizers wilh nct9 of
traitors, who openly avow their intention
to overthrow our government, but copper
heads, and aiders and abettors in treason.
Before many years, well meaning citizens,
mislead by pr-tizan demagogues, will be
ashamed to owii they had ever acted with
such men.
I f?- Nothing would contribute so much
to the defeat of the rebels and hasten tho
close of the war as the election of Governor
Curtin. A majority of 50,000 votes for him
would do more to convince the rebels of the
hopelessness of their cause than if 50,000
new recruits were raised in Pennsylvania.
They now say that their only hope is in the
success, of what they call the Democratic
party, which will cause, they think, a divi
sion amongst ourselves, in the North. The
only way to end the war is for every man to
lay aside party measures, and vote for no
man who claims to be cither a Democrat, or
a Republican, but elect tho Union ticket
without regard to any party. Tho icbels
keep up the war only in hope that if the
Democrats succeed, they will agree to a sep
aration. The Copperheads, who now con
trol the party machinery, have, no doubt,
promised to aid them, but no true Democrat
will ever consent to such a separation or
dismemberment of the Union.
Our Breckinridge neighbor continues
to grieve over the fact that disloyalists and
rebel soldiers were not permitted to vote in
the late Kentucky elections. It is, perhaps,
nothing more- than justice to say, that Pur
dy's opposition to soldiers voting at the
elections, extends only to Union soldiers.
Tbe fact that he is down on General Burn
side for his order restraining rebel soldiers
from voting, chows that ho is not opposed
to tho principle but to tho nun. The trou
ble with him is, that Union soldiers will not
vote the Copperhead ticket. Our neighbor
is as perfectly consistent in this matter, as
ho is in his support of Yallandigham or his
defence of Flovd.
tW The Rochester Express says it has
private informnti.n that the whole bench
of tho United States Supremo Court, Judge
Taney included, have agreed to the opinion
that "tho states in rebellion have lost their
rights as states, and must come into the
Union simply a territory, subject to the
general government and entitled to its pro
tection ; and that new stato organizations
may bo formed by the people, under the
constitution and laws of Congress, m in case
of other territories, but the old states cannot
come into tho Union with their present or
ganization and officers."

tn A
LEE UBGED TO ADVANCE TO HELP
THE COFPEBHEADS.
IJF" Tho Richmond Enquirer, tho Rebel
organ of Jeff. Davis, urges Gen. Leo to make
another invasion of Pennsylvania, in order
to help the Copperheads to elect their can
didates at the coming election. In reference
to this, the Enquirer of the 7th Inst., says :
"tbr hoad to peacs."
"The approaching session of the United
States CouL'fess will be one of no ordinary
interest. During its deliberation, the Presi
dential campaign of 18C4 will be marked
out. Political parties will, ia the next
session of Congress, arrange the platform of
principles that eacu will advocate la-lore tbe
people, as well as unmask the gross corrup
tions that the war bus produced. The coo
test for tho Speakership of the House of
Representatives will be one of great excite
ment ; if the Democrats are successful, their
Speaker will have the arrangement and ap
pointment of the various committees which
prepare business tor the House, as well us ol
all those investigating committees on the
conduct of the war, the coriuption of con
tracts, the suppression of newspapers, ami
the arrest and iuiprtsouuicut of iudividu
als. "The reports of these committees will form
the groundwork of the next Presidential
campaign. Should Meade be driven iuto
Washington, ami the capital ot the united
States be beleagured by the Confederate
army, the conduct ot tho war will receive a
Mow trom which neither ickslurg nor
Port Hudson can relieve it. If the Admin
istration should find its army in the third
year of the war shut up in Washington, Mr.
Lincoln's message would be deprived of all
its glorification over the summer's campaign
His management of military affairs will
stand a confessed failure, and his unfitness
for the position of Commander-in-Chief will
become patent to every man. Of what avail
will the capture of Vicksburg and Port
Hudson, the repulse at Gettysburg, and the
siege of Charleston prove, if Meade, driven
into Washington, is unable to rescue the
capital from the insults of a beleaguering
army ? In vain will Halleck point to Grant
Banks and Gilniore, if the Army of the Po
tomac is forced to crouch under tho fortifi
cations of Washington, and cower before
tho advance of Leu. The triends of Me
Clellan will assail the Administration for
more shameful failures than those for which
he was dismissed ; they point to the besieg
ing army, and ask for the proofs of the
victory at Gettysburg ; they will inquire
into the "escape" of Lee; and, parading the
Administration papers' account of the bat
tle of Gettysburg, ask why Lee was not
bagged I Meade besieged in Washington
will be uncontrovertable evidence of the
falsehootls perpetrated upon the public.
"Should General Lee cross into Marylund,
the embarrassment of Lincoln would in
crease ; his 'victorious army,' unable to take
the Held and attempt the repetition of Sharps
burg and Gettysburg, would be compelled
to remain in Washington, while Gen. Lee
marched withersoever he wished in Mary
land or Pennsylvania.
"I'ie success of the Democratic party would
be no longer doubtful should (Sett. Lee once
more advance on Meade. Pari let in the Uni
ted States are o nearly lulanccd that the Uat
advantage thrown in Jaror of one Kill insure
vs success. Should the Confederate army
remain quiescent on the banks of the Kap
pahnnnock, the boastful braggadocia of
Yankee reports will bo confirmed, and Lin
coln and Halleck will point in triumph to
tho crippled condition of the Confederate
army as continuation of tho great victory
won in Pennsylvania. The Democrats, vn
able to gainsay such evidence, villi constrained
to enter the coittest for Speakership shorn of
the principal part of' their strength the di's
graceful mkmaiiagnnciit and conduct of the
var.
"General Lec must turn politician as well
as warrior, nnd we believe he will prove the
most sncccssful politician the Confederacy
ever produced, lie. may so move and direct
his army as to produce political remit, which,
in their bearing upon this tear, will prove inure
effectual than the bloodiest victories. . Let
him drive Mende into Washington, and he
will again raise the spirits of the Democrats,
confirm their timid, and qice confidence to tluir
wavering, lie trill emboiden the Pt ace party
should he again cross the Potomac, for he
will show the people of Pennsylvania how
little security they from Lincoln for the pro
tection of their homes. It matters not
whether the advance be made for purposes
of permanent occupation, or simply for a
grand raid ; it will demonstrate that, in the
third year of the war, they arc so fur from
the subjugation of the Confederate States
that the defence of Maryland and Peensyl
vsiii.id.iiis not been secured.
"A fall campaign in Pennsylvania, with
the hands of our soldiers united, not for indis
criminate plunder demoralizing and lintlis
ciplining the army but a campaign for a
systematic and orgauized retaliation and
punishment, would arouse the popular mind
to the uncertainty and insecurity to Penn
sylvania. This would react upon the repre
sentatives in Congress, strengthening the De
mocrats, nnd mollifying even to tho hard
shell of fanaticism itself.
"The damages which tho hist campaign
inflicted, if augmented by another this fall,
hen presented to the Lincoln Government,
would, unless paid, greatly exasperate the
people against an Administration which
neither defends the State, nor reimburses
its citizens for losses which its own imbecili
ty has produced. And if these damages are
paid the debt is increased, the tuxes raised.
and the burdens imposed will accomplish
tho same end.
Let the preat and important fact bo con
stantly kept in a tangible and threatening
aspi-t Ut'ore the people of Pennsylvania
tliat, notwithstanding they have opened the
Mississippi, und nru ln'siemntf Charleston,
and threatening East TeiineM-e, und Geor
gia, and Alabama, that, notwithstanding all
l hip, Pennsylvania is not side from invasion
and Washington city is Hguin beleaguiroj
in tiiis third year ot the war. J he rood
to peace lies through Pennsylvania tin Wash
ington.
Is this not a part of tho programme of the
"Kuithts of the Golden Circle i" and was

IlAtinisBrno, Sept 18.
A great nnd enthusiast io war mast meet
ing was held at the Court nouse to-night,
John Till, Esq., formerly of tho Democratic
party, presiding. General Butler, who was
announced to speak, is not present by reason
of prior engagement. Louis W. Hall and
Colonel F. Montgomery, formerly editor
of the Vicksburg SVhig, addressed the uieot
ing. CO!.. MOKTQOMICRT'S A-DDH8SS.
Col. Montgomery nmong other things said,
we brought up the ltebcllion solely to grati
fy a very small number twenty or twenty
live very ambitious men. Wbca tho Rebel
lion broke out there were not twonty-flve
Secessionists in Vicksburg. He was a De
mocrat then, be was bow, and no Northern
Secession sympathizer could whip him out
of it. (Laughter.) Last campaign, down
in his place, they had nothing to talk about
but Black Republicans, and when Lincoln
was elected it was Abolitionists, and that
word heated the Southerners' blood to Re
bellion. It was a bugbear, somewhat like
it is in the North.
The Unionists were disorganized, but
when New Orleans was tuken thousands of
planters came in to know how many boats
of how much tonnage could be had to loud
with cotton, that it might be floated to New
Orleaus, but an order came to fortify Vicks
burg, and that dodge woe knocked in the
head; yet those hearts are still beating as
truly as ever for the old Union. Cheers.)
AVhen he came North he found the people
disunited, and he wanted to know the rea
son ; tho Constitution was the difficulty.
When a shell lands in my prison, to burst
its doors for my liberation, what do I care
who sent it ? Whether it was constitution
al or not.
Y'ou folks North seem to know more
than any one else about the Constitution.
I never heard that the Emancipation Pro
clam tion was unconstitutional until I came
North. To put down this Rebellion is con
stitutional. No odds bow we do it, pro
vided we do it in a civilized manner. In
these times if it is proved of a candidate
that his great grandfather onco made an
Abolition speech, he was sure to be defeated
He (the speaker) had scve-al little boys, and
he was going to blast their political pros-pe-cts
by making a deliberate Abolition
speech.
From Breckinridge to free speech, he hail
got rot her ahead. He was uow a red-hot
radical Abolitionist. (Cheers.) The speak
er then spoke of slavery ns n curse to the
land. It retarded civilization ; mndo the
earth barren, and has at last culminated in
a hell-born Rebellion. Whenever you make
it respectable to comedown with us nnd fol
low the plough, bring your school-houses
and churches.
We will have the position which God
Almighty intended we should hold. His
description of the bombardment of Vicks
burg was highly interesting and amusing.
Rcswllion is near its end. The only conso
lation, the only aid and assistance Jeff. Davis
receives, is drawn from the North and its
one cent patriots. It is now not so much
our bullets as our ballots, that are to settle
the Rebellion. When the war is over, the
Union men of the South will settle the final
question. What are you going to do ?
They don't want the Union ns it was.
Thi'y don't want Mississippi or nny other
State to rebel nnd tiilit iust when she Dleases
and after getting whipped to be pardoned. )
Keep on the war until Secessionists cry
enough. 1 hen demand your terms lor
peace. He ridiculed Bon. Wood's peace
measures. I lie best thing Pennsylvania can
do to prevent the niggers from coming here, '
if she don't want them, is to Mick to the I
Emancipation Proclamation, giving them j
freedom in the South. Tho Union men of!
the South are now sustaining it.

The Lebanon Courier, of the 11th inst.,
says that this traitorous organization, under
the direction of men without character or
patriotism, has been insiduously spreading
itself through Lebanon county. It is no
secret that it exists in many of our town
ships, anil leading Copperheads openly boast
that through it they me not only gonig to
break down the loyal Administration of the
Government, but that they are going to use
it to control the Democratic party to foist
themselves into ollice. Any Democrat who
acts with that party and does not join this
secret society, practically, has no voice in
the management of the piirtv. He is reallv
just as much an outsider as any Republican.
iiiu iiiiumgciuciu is an none in lam bound
secret cabals of the society, and after the
thing ft "rixed," the outsiders may go
through the formality of endorsing it." Let
the Democrats of South Lchauon, Hcidcl
burg, Jackson. Millcreek. Cornwall or Bethel
just watch the movements of some of these
tt llous who go sneaking about barns and
school houses at night, and they will soon
discover the iurluenees which are controlling
their party ; and controlling it too in a way
calculated to aid the rebels und greatly to
lengthen the war.

Advices from Vera Cruz to the 5th had

Many of the inhabitants of Mexico had
been imprisoned for assassinating French

TU ttw Ironnlden."
Tho New Ironside 1 a uoblo Teasel.
She has proved her superiority, in attacking
fortification, over our othor iron clads
'operating In Charleston Harbor. Fort Wag
ner whs always silent when the Ironsides
engaged her. The Rebel garrison were
uua'olo to stand at their guns. Tho bomb-
firoofwas their only safety. And nmong
icr many brilliant exploits, her conduct last
Tuesday, when the Weehawkcn was aground
off Moultrie, was not the least. It appears
that, early iu the morning, the Wcehawken,
having run aground at ebb tide, was iu a
perilous position. The Rebel batteries on
Sullivan's Island and Fort Moultrie concen
trated upon her a well directed and severe
fire which, to insure her safety, it became
necessary to silence or divert. For ' this
purpose the eutiro Monitor fleet was sent
to her relief, and anchoring as near ns possi
ble to Moultrie, they opened upon that fort
the severest tire of which they were capable.
Yet they were unable to either silence the
fort or draw the Rebel Are from the Wee
hawkcn, which every hour was becoming
more exposed to the enemy. Her com
mander, however, bravely fought his vessel,
and though hard aground, be continued a
rapid fire upon Moultrie, sending, in the
course of his defiance, a fifteen-inch shell
into the magazine of the fort, and exploding
it with fearful havoc. The inequality of
the tight soon became evident ; the Monitors
bad ten guns to the enemy's hundred, and
the latter, thinking that they would finally
succeed in sinking the Wcehawken, did not
intermit their fearful fire upon it. At this
critical juncture tlnj Ironsides moved up
into action. Taking a position one thou
sand yards from Moultrie she dropped her
anchors stem nnd stern, und opened tire
upon the Rebel works, pouring broadside
niter broadside into them. Tho Reliela
immediately withdrew their fire from Wee,
haw ken and concentrated it upon t he Iron
sides, bitting her during the action over a
hundred times. A'ot one of these shots inficted
the least damage. For live hours she with
stood this cannonade, silenced Moultrie,
made certain the safety of the Wcehaw ken,
aud Commodore Rowan retired from the
action with bis ammunition entirely ex
hausted, but his vessel uninjured." The
following is an estimato of the amount of
iron thrown by the Ironsides into Moultrie
during this gallant nnd daring action.
Owing to her lieing anchored, she was able
to use only one broadside, namely, eight
eleven-inch guns and one two-hundred-pouud
I'arrott. The eleven-inch gun can be lired
once every ten minutes forten hours, throw
ing nt every discharge a solid shot weighing
one hundred and eighty pounds. The two-hundred-pound
Parrott is guided by the
same rule. The time of the Ironsides'
action was five hours. During this period
bhe tired about four hundred and fifty rounds,
or poured into Fort Moultrie iighty tiro
thousand jmind of iron . Such is the brief
outline of the Ironsides' exploit of last
Tuesday, nnd we more especially refer to it
inasmuch us it not only again demonstrates
her superiority as an iron-clad, but it also
w as the means of prever ting the destruction
or capture of the Monitor Weehawkcn,
which has too glorious a past history to thus
fall a victim to Rebel pow er.

Earl RusscTs reply to the Emancipation
Society, relative to the building of rams for
the Confederate States by the Messrs. Lairds,
is written iu a tone of undisguised disappro
val, but he says nothing can be done with
out affidavits.
The Paris Pays denies the official charac
ter of the pamphlet advocating u recognition
of the Confederates.
Tho Moniteur explains that the Florida
was only permitted to make indispensable
repairs ut Bricsta.
The Liverpool Post says it now appears
that the steam rums luunehed from Lairds'
yards were built for the Confederate service.
Neither the French Government or the
French people were concerned in the busi
ness, although a French bunker was connect
ed with the scheme financially the rams to
be paid for out of the Confederate loan. Mr.
Luuzier was one of the contractors lor that
loan, and wus also guarantee for the pay
ment of the contract w ith Mr. Laird.
He has a mortgage on both vessels, nnd
therefore they may ultimately become his
property. But then the law would have to
deal with these new features iu thu transac
tion, und Lanzier might sell them t the
British Government at cost price, and they
are well worth the money, not for sea but
for coast aud harbor service. For privateers
they are totally unlit.
The Paris Pays states that the two ships
were not constructed for the French Gov
ernment, but had been ordered by the gov
ernment of Egypt, ns their mimes indicate.
Tho Paris Alonitcur says the Florida, sail
ing under Confederate Hugs, untered Briesta
to repair damages. Her reception wus ac
cording to international law.
At the opening of the war, the French
Goverumeut in accord with tho other pow
ers, recognized the Confederate States us
belligerents nnd declared its intention of
observing a strict neutrality between the
two parties.
In like cases, it is the right ns well as the
duty of neutrals to permit the vessels of
belligerents to procure means, not for fight
ing purposes, but for navigation.
Therefore, it has been decided that the
Florida could be udmittcd to procure ull
that wus indispensable to maintain her in a
good navigable state, without her being able
to make purchases tending to recruit her
wur arrangements.
The London Time publishes some partic
ulars of the Florida's career, as related by
Captain Matiit.
Hu claims to have treated all his prisoners
of war with thu greatest respect.
lie says the Anglo Saxon was captured
sixty miles from Cork.
When she was captured her pilot was re
ferred to the Confederate government for
the settlement of any just claim hu might
have.
Cuptain Muflit said as to his quilting
Briesta, that be expected there would be
seven or eight Federal war vessels outside
the only narrows.
