"VorrsalizAns."—We have heard
many definitions of the term "Cop
perhead" during.the last year or two,
but all, it seems to us, missed the
mark. In our opinion a real "Cop
perhear.is one who is constantly
urging the war to go on ; crying out
for drafts, volunteering, Sbe.; persuad
ing others to go; who wants the last
man and , the last dollar expended in
putting down the rebellion and free
ing the niggers, bit who does not go
himie(f to help carry out his ideas.--
"Copperheads" are the stay-at=home
patriots found in Loyal Leagues, who
"su4ain the government" by talking
in its favor, 'and making money out
of it. There are other "Copperheads"
howei , or. The "10.1k1" thieves who
cheat the soldiers ; defraud the gov
ernment by shoddy contracts; officials
who coin money out of the blood and
treasure of thenation; hypocrites and
fanatics who would deprive the peo
ple of their liberty under the plea of
"military necessity," and preachers
who desecrate their pulpits and en
danger the souls of their flocks by
preaching politics instead of Christ
crucified, are all "Copperheads" of a
malignant type:
AMMON SUBJECTS OP OLD Ant!
—Unexpectedly, last week; Congress
repealed the $3OO commutation clause
in the Conscription Act. Heretofore
a drafted person who did not wish to
go a soldiering could, by the payment
of 8300 - be iexempted. Upon the rec
ommendation of Lincoln this $3OO ex
emptlainess was, last week, re
pealed by Congresa,Aathatraveltvary
one iirsilialLaviii be obliged to go, or
furnish an acceptable substitute:—
The poor man can now set his house
in order and prepare to shoulder A be's
musket, as no man of limited means
will be able to buy a substitute at,
say $lOOO, which they will command.
It is only the rich that can buy sub
stitutes. It is true, as the, abolition
ists say, that the poor man earl go for
the rich man, and obtain the money,
but we venture to assert that that is
a poor consolation to those not adapt
ed to war and fighting, and who re
gard their lives; , their wives, and their
children. Many are the curses that
have already fallen on the, head of the
joking despot at Washington, and
they will now come tenfold. The on
ly remedy we have to avoid the
grinding despotism pow fastening it
self upon us, is by the people rallying
under the banners of PEACE—put
ting a stop to the war and ousting
the powers-that-be at Washington out*
of office by means of the ballot-boxes,
if another chime° will be left to us.
MORE TAXES.—The new tax bill,
has passed both branches of Congress
and is now in the hands of the Presi
dent. The bill makes a number of
important o changes,—especially in the
income tax, which is now raised to
five per cent. on all incomes between
$OOO and $5 4 000; on incomes from
$5,000 to sl.o. ) oooieven - and n half per
cent" and on all SUMS exceeding that
amount ten per cent. The tax on
Whiskey will be .1,50 per gallon iff.
ter the first of July and until the first
of February next, after which period
it will be 82,00 per gallon. Many of
the other taxes are raised in like pro
portion.
Mir "This war shall not be stop
ped until slavery is abolished," is still
yelped .by the abolitionists. They
forget that Old Abe . has abolished
slavery several times already, by
proclamation ! If that should not
have accomplished the object, as we
told them it would not, let Congress
abolish slavery to-morrow, and then
in God's name atop the war, Enough
blood and treasure have been sacri
ficed on "that line." When 'the bill
to abolish slavery, defeated last week,
comes np again, we trust it will be
put through unanimously, and after
that let the Democrats in Congress
and out of It, Jul well as the people
generally, who wish the welfare of
their country and its inhabitants, in-'
Wet upon an immediate stoppage of
the war. SI&VeVY will then have

THE GREAT QUiIjION-SHALL LINCOLN
BEW-ELECTED ?
Thequet4ion of the re-election of
President Lincoln is the most impor
tant issue presented to a democratic
people during the present century.
It is an issue which k to decide
whether or not the people have suffi
cient intelligence to preservll their
Own rights and liberties from' the en:
croachmonts of ignorant and despotic
rulers. This issue has been deter
mined in the negative by the history
of past republics. Now it. is to he re
argued, and a final decision rendered
by the citizens or
,Qlis . country, the
of
Jost and the greatest democratic gov
ern rants.
We do not object to 3fr.Lineoln be
cause he was once a railsplitter, nor
because his associate nominee-was a
tailor, as one. of our ridiculous audsil
ly contemporaries did yesterday.
We know that some of the greatest
men in- the world- have risen from a
low origin, and in a nation like thins
man's occupation, provided it be hon
est, is no bar to his future advance
ment. But we 116joet to Air. Lincoln
because he ,has been tried and found
wanting, and because his re-election
would in all probability,seal the fate
of republican institutions. We con.
cede everything that is true in regard
to his personal charaeter,•bis gaud in
tentions and his honesty, safer as pe
cuniary matters aro concerned. But
a man's personal character does not'
excuse his official misdeeds; a man's
good intentions do .not remove tht ef
fects of his blunders and follies, and .a
man's ,honestyt- in regard to money
matters is no offset to his dishonesty
in regard to nearly everything else.
Such weak palliations of Mr. Lincoln's
conduct, therefore, do not weigh with
us, and ought not to weigh with the
peo-ple.
President- Lincoln has protracted
this 'war for four years, when he
could have ended it - in one. He has
committed the criminal error ofallow-
An* g questions of political expediency,
to interfere with his management of
military affairs. He has removed
generals for party reasons, when such
removals gave great advantage tothe
rebels. He has issued proclamations
with the same motives, when his bet
ter judgement,_as expressed in pri
vate conversations, disapproved of his
, official acts. He has surrounded him
self with a Cabinet notorious for inca
parity and containing some. of the
most imbecile men in the country, as
an example of whom we may take
Gideon Welles.- He has retained this
Cabinet in defiance of the universal
remonstrance of the people, and in
spite of the criminal blunders his Sec
retaries have committed.. Ho has
permitted political squabbles to so
disorganize and distract his Cabinet
that no Cabinet councils have been
held ler weeks at a time during this
great crisis of the country, thus leav
ing himself, practically, dictator, and
each Secretary as liberty to.- blunder
unchecked-in his own department. He
has outraged the liberty of the citi-
thousands of Ibyal Ainericansrand in-:
carcerated them in dungeons, without
warrant, j ud i cialproced u re , or reason
able cause' for se doing. lie has ' in
stituted the forms of martial law in
loyal cities of the North . , without pro-`
claiming it and without the slightest
pretext. for enforcing it. Ho has
truckled to England and to France,
thus soiling the national honoralmost
irretrievably. Upon these grounds
we shall oppose his re-election.
By the acts we have.. just
enumerated; and bYTl,Snrinore oft he
same odious stamp, w President Lin,
coin, has unnecessarily .prolonged the:
war and strengthened the robel cause
at home and abroad. - Ile•ihas allow.-
ed thousands of brave men to be
slaughtered in vain. Ile has squan
dered millions of the public money
uselessly, diverting it from its proper
channels to enrich corrupt satellites
and favorites. He has disastrously
disarranged the- finances of the noun.:
try, , through his Secretary' of the
Treasury. ll' hasseen our commerce
swept from the seas by two or three
piratcs,And our prond:flag thus terri
bly dishonored,. without an' effort to
prevent it. Ile has robbed; our peo ,
pie of the protection hitherto afford
ed by that grand•formula, "I ain' an
American citizen," In a word hellos
combined imbecility with despotism,
afflicting us with' almost all thn evils
of an unlimited monarchy without
giving us any of the compensating'
advantages In all' this his inten
tions - tnay have been good; but we
must judge the tree by its fruits. Be
sides the fact that he has accept
ed the renominationof a convention
of officeholders and contractors, care
fully packed at his instance to secure
this very end, argues .but little for
the purity of his motives. Setting
aside motives, however, we- only ask
a candid consideration of Mr. Lin
coln's acts. If the people approve
these acts they will have the oppor
tunity of endorsing them in Novenr
ber. If not, they cannot conscier
tously vote for Lincoln. Whether
they We the intelligence to decide
rightly, and the independence to reg.
ister that decision at the polls, is the
issue of the day; and upon that de
pends the future of this groat country.
From Washington down to Jack
son our President were men who bad
been taught statesmanship and the
most devoted patriotism in the school
of the Revolution. With Van Buren
—a politician from this State—came
into power a class -of mere political
Presidents. These political Presidents
have been growing small by degrees
and—not beautifully, but—disgrace
fully lees, until Abraham Lincoln, who.
is the smallest and most incapable of
them all, now occupies the place of
'Washington. But, while the admin
istrations of others were distinguish
en only by imbecility and incapacity,
Lincoln. has added despotic tendon
'ehas to these bad ckaracteristies. As
no smaller candidate than Lincoln
could be diseOvered, the politicians
have again chosen this Presidentiiil
pigmy as their nominee. Now %1.e..
mains to be seen whether the' people'
will ratify that choice, : or they will
declare that our government hatliunk
far enough and must be again eleva
ted to its former grandeur. It is a
sad thing for a republic when its
highest representative office degener
ates to the level of its most petty pol
iticians; but it is a sadder thine to
find a people so degenerate as to a
gain select an official who has proven
himself grossly incompetent. We do
not hesitate to assert, therefore, that
the approaching election' will bacriti
cal test of the capaeityof our citizens
to govern _themselves. - If they unito
upon some pure, honorable candidate
they will vindicate their title to the
freedom bequeathed them by their
fathers, and prove to the world 'that
Americans . can rise superior to the
prejudices cif party when politichtiis
seek to use party. tics and partisan
power to enslave their constituents.'

THE COST OF THE CAMPAIGN-OUR
LOSSES.
When the news first. reached us of
the two days' fighting in the Wilder
ness, after Grant Crossed the Rapi 7
clan, we spoke of the event as a carni
val of blood ; and, although this des
ignation ..elicited hoWls of derision
from the abolition press, we now find
in the light of subsequent events, that
the language applied to the fighting,
was, if anything, not sufficiently ex
pressive. •
With Grant's advent upon fames
River, the overland campaign against
Richmond may be .said to have been
concluded, and we are now enabled
to judge of it as a whole. It occu
pied just, six weeks and one day . ; a
time which, although short when
measured by days, was sitflieiently
long to have Sufficed.for the shedding
of more blood than was ever shed in
a similar length ortionein :the history
of modern warfare. At the very
lowest estimate;
. .70 ; 000 -,men were
either killed or Wounded in. the Fed
eral army in this movement—a num
ber whose niagnitude appals the
stoutest heart. - Add to this the loss
es of the rebels—perhaps thirty-five
or forty thousand more—and to these
the losses of Sigel, Hunter, Butler,
and their respective opponents, and
we have an aggregate of slaughter
which is so repellant in its horror
that the soul shrinks from contem
plating it.
But if there be Ow who can con
template these gigantic losses with•
out faintness, and whose appetite for
horror is so great that noamount will
gorge them, and persons need not
confine themselves to the sanguinary
results beforeßichmond.. 'lf there be
a sea of blood in front of Richmond.,
there'',is a' river of' respectable dimen
sions which begins at Chattanooga,
and which, deep and, broad, flows
southward to Atlanta. Forty-five
thousand men in killed and wounded
have been the cost - to our armies of
advancing thus far on their road to
Georgia, While to the rebels the ex
pense has probably been no less than
from 25,000 to 30,000 during the same
period. If to the casualties near
Richmond and in Georgia we add the
trifling ones of Sturgis in Mississippi,
Banks in• Louisiana, and Steele ia.Ar
kansas, we will reach the frightful to=
tal fosses to both sides, irb . killed -and

the killed at one in nine; • EMO:we have
in killed outright - 41bn° nearly-26,0001
Which list will be largely swelled by
those who since have died of their
wounds.
This estimate does not include
those who have died from disease or
have been incapacited by sickness,
which, at the very lowest estimate,
has been 5 per cent. of the armies of
both sections. Taking the lowest es
timates of losses on both sides in the
campaign of 1864, and estimating the
proportion of the wounded who have
died at the very moderate figure of 5
per cent, we, have the following : -
Killed outright, 26,000
Died of wounds, 1.0,000
Wounded, 207,000
Died of sickness, 25,000
Incapacitated from further service by
wounds and disease. 63,000
We leave the grand total of these
details to those who have a sufficient
love orthe horrible to sum them up.
is enough td say that they are bas
ed-upon official reports, when obtaina
ble, and upon the minimum estimates
In other cases; and in the eased of
sickness, death, from wounds and di
sease, upon percentages established
by long experience.
Six months have sufficed forall this
loss, of which six, weeks have been
long enough to include the greater
portion of it. What has been gained
by it. llas either side advantages to
show commensurate with this most
enormous total of human life-destroy
ed ? In one single case, Sherman has
penetrated to the vicinity of Atlanta;
in other reports, this contest is sub
stantially-where it was in January,
1864. In other words, all we have to
show is Sherrrian's limited sucessses
in Georgia; further than this both
sides have absolutely nothing. So
many men have been killed or have
died of wounds, so many more have
been incapacitated by wound and sick
ness; and the combatantsstand where
they did when the 'Work of slaughter
began.
Such an aggregate ought to bring
before the people the true character
of the contest which is now raging, -
and also its barrenness. It could be

11 SINGULAR TRADITION.—Among
the Seminole Indians tbere is a sin
gular tradition regarding the white
man's origin and superiority. They
say that when the Great Spirit made
the earth he also made three men, all
of whom were fair'Complexioned; and
that after making them 'be d led them
to the margin of a small Mice, and
bade them leap in find wadi. One o
beyed, and came out of the water
. purer and fairer - than before ; the sec
ond hesitated, a moment, during
which the water, agitated by the
' first, had becorne muddled, and when
he bathed, he came out' copper•color
ed ; the - third did not leap till the, wit
'ter bedame black with mud, and he
came out-with its . own eGICir: Then
the Great Spirit • laid before _them
three packages, and out, of pity for
his intsfortm no — lir — crenry; -- gicoq the
black man the first choice. lie took
hold of each of tbe packages, and
having felt the weight, chose the
heaviest ; the copper-colored man
then chose the nest heaviest, leav
ing the white man the lightest.—
W hen the pacakages were opened,
the first was found to contain spades,
hoes, and all the iinplemente of la
bor, the second enwrapped hunting,
fishing, and warlike apparatus ; the
third gave the white man pens, ink
and paper, the engines of the mind—
the means of mutual mental improve
ment, time social link of humanity,
the foundation of the white man's su
periority.
•
PROFESSIONAL BUTOFIg,IO.—As if-the
battle. wounds were nut gastly enough,
we read of to surgeon's amputating
a leg at the hipjaint of a poor maim
ed soldier who survived the opera
tion only a few hours. That surgeon
should be tied down to a board and
have his own hip.joint divided just to
see how pleasant, the torture is. The
operation is never successful, except
in killing the patient, and probably
a devilish loin of science caused its
performance in the above instance,
the result, "surviving only a few
hours," being of no consequence to
the remorseless "sawbones" who
hacked at a dying patriot with all
the ardor the pursuit of knowledge
could inspire.
"We learn with regret that Gov
ernor Walker's health was somewhat
impared by an occurenee which took
place in London last October. Yield
ing to the solicitation of some friends,
ho accompanied them in a- balloon
ascension. The balloon suddenly
rose some two and a half miles in a
bout seven minutes. Owing to the
fact that the Governor had not' pro
vided hiniself with a change of cloth
ing, and the fall of the thermome
ter, twenty-eight degreeS-, and tho in
creased rarefaction of the air, conges
tion of the lungs ensued, followed by
a copious flow of blood from the lungs.
The advice of the moat eminent Eng

pursuance of this, Governor Walker
left for Italy on the firstoflastMarch.
But it was not until he drew near
Alexandria, Egypt, that his health
materially improved.

OtrA Su:m.4i OASV:;—A letter
from- the army a the Potomac 'Says,
a very singular Occurrence was noted
in the Tenth Massachusetts -. yester
day. A sergeant had been engaged
in the Second division hOspital . , 'the
day previous in . placing upon a num
ber of head boards the names of nriem
hers of his regiment who had been
killed in the late fight, or had died in
battle, which were to mark their res
ting place. There was ono board in
excess, and, in a sportive vein, he
placed with a lead pencil .his own
name upon' it, and the date of his de
mise, 20th of June, as his term of ser
vice had.then expired, •and he was a
bout to leave for home. Yesterday,
while near the front bidding his com
panions in other regiments a fare
well, he was struck in the breast by a
twenty-four-pounder Parrott and in
stantly killed. His remains were in
terred to-day, and the Very head-hoard
ho had unthinkingly inscribed with
his own name was- placed -over his
grave. •
12 is SAW that when President Lin
coln began the work of filling himself
up with the good things of the table
at th© Philadelphia Fair, ho exclaim
ed : "I'll fight it out on this lino, if it
takes all summer."
,ogir "Colts, don't - be timid," said a
couple of silly snobs to two mechan
ice; "sit down and inaice yourselves
our equals." "We
.should have to
blow our brains out to do that," was
the reply.

The Senate has passed a resolution
calling upon the President to set a
