3Some good natured persons iome
timet ask the meanlDg of the terra "Cop
pci bead," at applied of late yenra, to certain
politiciana. A Copperhead proper, especially
an editor, may be known at any time ly his
r ant of patriotism during the lata rebellion
and hi poorly disguised hatred of the sol
diers who put down tue traitors. I ueee even
at this day denounce our best and ablest
Generals, Orant, Sheridan und others, while
they never fail to eulogise Lee, Albert Sid
ney Johnson, and other rebel leaders, when
ever an opportunity offers. -
If any evidence was wanting of these facts,
we might refer to an article in the last Xvr
thumberUtnd Comity Democrat, taken from
the Lancaster Intelligencer, a professedly
democratic paper of strong rebel proclivi
ties, in regard to an enterprise sanctioned
by the legislature, for the purpose of erect
ing a Soldiers1 Homo or Asylum for poor
and disabled soldiers. The article does not
only speak of our officers and soldiers as if
they were robbers, thieves, poltroons, black
guards aud cowards, but is made up of low
vulgar, and indecent allusions, the reading
of which no gentleman, who has a proper
appreciation of the proprieties of life, would
knowingly permit in his family.
55F"TnE Gazette. There are a class of
persons who are ever finding fault w ith the
actions of their neighbors, und some -alio
if not always courting martyrdom, arc ever
anxious to excite the sympathy of the pub-
lie, by making it appear that they are mar
tyrs to soma principle or cause got up by
themselves for the occasion. This is the pre
dicament of our neighbor, the editor of the
Gazette. No one would willingly accuse
hi in of running, voluntarily, into danger.
But if by accidcut he is caught in such a
position, no one would be more ready to
make capital out of such a transaction. Ever
eince he left the Democratic party, of which
he was formerly one of the straigbtest, and
often most abusive of the sect, he has been
trying to make capital by showing that the
Democrats were after him with a sharp stick,
and persecuting him for having left their
party. This plea has been used frequently
to our disadvantagebut we never complaiu
ed, though we might, justly, have dune so.
These remarks have been induced by an
article in the Gazette of last week, complain
ing that the County Commissioners and
others, awarded to this office a few crumbs
of patronage instead of giving them to the
Gazette. In this- the Gazette, as usual in
such matters, has incorporated almost as
many truths as untruths. The Commis
sioners did not award us the County Print
ing as stated by the Gazette. Therefore the
"queer trauaction" is only one of the hallu
cinations of the editor. Our bid was not
accepted, and if that of the GazetU was not
successful, it was not bjenuse the editor was
unwilling to Rat ify, according to his state
ment, any contract that would bring patron,
age to that establishment. The charge of
jealousy between this office and the Demo
crat, is of course intended to injure the
American, and without even the semblance
of truth. But these things are chronic, if
not constitutional, with our neighbor, and
in that light only, excusable.
J3?NonTUEiiN Rci-isls. It is a siiigular
fact that the Copperheud editors of the
North, are more bitterly opposed to the re
construction of the Ilebel States, under the
late Act of Congress, than the late rebels
themselves, who, accordiug to their own
newspapors, are jn favor of accepting thu'
Act, in most of tho states, by a very, large
majority, and in Goojgia and in other s totes,
by a vote of five to one. Now if any one
doubts our statement let him examine the
Copperhead Journals of Pennsylvania, and
they will find nine out of ten bitterly de
nouncing an act which caudid and honora
ble rebels admit, is more merciful and liberal
than anything they Lad a right to expect.
The only really active and undisguised rebels
north and south, at the present time, are
"Regulators," a gang of outlaws in Kentuc
ky, and the ultra Copperhead editors of the
north. They aloue rebel against the late
Act of Congress for the reconstruction of
tho Union.
3f Jeff. Davis. The release of this
undisguised traitor on bail of one huudred
thousand dollars, by Judge Underwood, at
Richmond, has already infused a spirit of
rejoicing among certain politicians, who
never could rejoice over victories obtuined
by Union soldiers. The whole proceedings
were a mere farce, and made tho occasion
to glorify Davis and his friends. The pro
gramme was made out at Washington, by
Johnson, Seward & Co., and the uctors in
the play, had nothing to do but go to Rich
mond and perform their parts, in the Court
House, to a select audience. If the Democrat
does not trot out its little nigger on this
occasion, we shall begin to suspect that
copper-colored democracy is on the wane in
this county,
Still Asotubb Counterfeit. Another
new counterfeit has been introduced in this
community. It is of tba denomination of
twenty dollars, on the Govesnment National
Bank of Portland, Maine, and is well exe
cuted. It purports to have been signed by

G. 8. Spinner, Treasury of the United

good imitations of their genuine writing.

Discharge- of tho Prisoner from Custody.
DAVIS AND WIFE DOMINO NOBTH.
Richmond, May 13.-Jeff. Davis was pro
duced In court - this morning. The counsel
for the Government were not ready to pro
ceed. Mr. O'Connor moved that the prisoner be
released on bail. Judge Underwood said he
would release the prisoner on one hundred
thousand dollars bail. Of this sum Hon.
Horace Greely pledged $25,000, Augustus
8th. II $25,000, General Jackson $25,000,
A; Welsh $25,000. , .
Hon. W. B. Reed said he would pledge
$100,000 at once iu addition if this bail was
not acceptable.
Judge Underwood said "the bail was en
tirely acceptable, and Mr. Davis was releas
ed and proceeded at once to the Spottsw ood
House to inform Mrs. Davis of his good for
tune. :
Richmond, May 13. Judge Underwood
entered the court rcom at half-piist eleven
o'clock this forenoon, and having taken his
seat, ordered the court to be opened, the
ciier proclaiming, "Hear ye, hear ye; silence
Li commanded w hile the Circuit Court is in
session. God save the United States."
Tle room had previously been crowded
with spectators, including a few ladies und
a number of colored men, who had been ad
mitted by tickets, in all probably not more
than two huudrvd owing to the limited ca
pacity of the court room. At ouo Bide of
the table, in front of the Judge's stand, w ere
seated Charles O'Connor, William B. Rued
and George Shea, Esqs., and on the other J.
Randolph Tucker, Robert OuUl and James
Lyons, Esqs., all counsel lor Jefl'ersoc Davis.
"Tho United States District Attorney
Chandler, and William M. Evarts, Esq., oc
cupied seats near the gentlemen last men
tioned, and appeared for tho United States
Government.
Jefferson Davis entered the court room,
accompanied by General Burton and United
States Assistant Marshal Duncan, and took
sests especially provided for them on the
side of Judge Underwood. Tho spectators
displayed profound interest at this feature
of the proceedings.
It may here be stated that in addition to
others present were Governor Pierpoint nd
Generals Belioticic! and Granger, aucl a num
ber of members of the bar, and leading cili
zens of Richmond.
Jefferson Davis was, a short time after his
entrance into court, provided with a seat be
tween Messrs. O'Connor and Reed.
Judge Underwood remarked, the court Is
honored on this occasion by the presence of
so many of the nation s noblest and bravest
defenders, that the usual morning routine
will be omitted. We are now ready lor any
communication from General Burton.
There were cries of "sit down" and"order
must be preserved by an officer of tue
court.
The writ of habeas corpus, sued out by the
court and allowed by Judge LnflerwiiocI,
and which has already been published, was
then read. It bore the following indorse
ment: "In obedience to the exigency of the w ith
in writ I now here produce before the with
in uamcd circuit of the United States for
the District of Virginia, the body of Jeffer
son Davis, at the time of the service of the
writ held by me in imprisonment at Fortress
Monroe, under the military authority of the
United States, and surrender the said Jeffer
son Davis to the custody, jurisdiction and
control of the said court, as I am directed
to do by the order of the President of the
United States, under the date of May 8
1307.
"II. S. Bchton,
"Col. and Brevet Brit;. Gen. U. S. A."
Mr. O Connor said that on this return no
reason was stated for the imprisonment o
Jefferson Davis, and it now remained tor
the court to take such action us was requisite
on the part of the civil authorities, to bring
the prisoner within the proper limits tc
meet tnc indictment.
Tho court replied The return is explici
and satisfactory. General Burton receives
the thanks of the court for this prompt und
graceful obedieuce to its writ, lie has tints
added another to the many laurels he lias
gained upon the battle-Gelds of the cnuntiy.
He has illustrated the manly qualities of
the soldier of the United States, for courage
in the face of danger is not more becoming
than a ready recognition "of the claims of
peace when the danger has passed. General
Burton is now houorably relieved. of the
custody of the prisoner, who pusses into the
custody of the court under the protection of
American Republican law.' If the laws are
silent in arms, they should be trumpet
tongued and omnipotent in peace. Tho
Marshal will now serve on the piisoncr the
writ on the indictment now in this court.
Deputy Murshul Duncan accordingly serv
ed the writ on Jefferson Davis, which the
lutter acknowledged.
General Burton thanked the court for the
remarks which had been made in compli
ment to him.
The question of admitting Davis to bail
was discussed at length by the couuttl of
both sides, after which
The court said : The question is whether
the offense is bailable. It is a little remark
able that in the midst of a gigantic civil war
the Congress of the United States changed
the punishment ot an offense with death to
tine und imprisonment ; but, under the cir
cumstances, it was very honorable to the
government of the United Slates, and ex
hibited its clemency and moderation. This
is a fact which relieves the present case of
every doubt as to its being builable, and it
is also, in my judgement, eminently proper
that the motion should be treated with favor,
as the defendant has been ready for a year to
submit his case to tho courts of the country.
It is true the prisoner has not until to-day
been in the custody of this court. I think,
however, no person counected with the cir
cumstances of the country would suppose
the fact reflected on the justice of the coun
try. Considering tho uatural effect of a
great war, which lushed all the elements of
society into fury, it was not to be expected
that the passions and prejudices arourcd
would be subdued in a moment, am) it is in
consequence of the prevalence of this dis
turbance and tumult which have been
abroad in thu community, that the govern
ment has felt it could not rifely proceed
with this case. After consultation w ith the
highest judicial offices it was thought best
to omit the trial lust full. But fortunately
we have a more agreeable aspect at the pre
sent time. We may now hope for restored
contideuce, and that we may not again be
disturbed by violeuce and commotion.
I think there are reasonable assurances In
the indications around us that we are about
to enter on a peace more permanent than
ever existed before. I ought perhaps to
state the tact that this court expects to be
in session all this weeks and I have a letter
from Chiel Justice Chase, intimating his in
teution to come to this city if any important
cause are likely to I tried. I ought also
to state, in justice to the District Attorney,
that he expected to dispose of this case
duriog the preceut term. 1 believe he was
fully prepared for the final disposition of it
at this time, but I have no doubt that grave
consideration have induced the government
to take different course. So jt seems the
responsibility of the trial is with the govern
ment, and not with the court or with the
District Attorney, and do doubt for good
and proper reasons. The government can
not complain, since tbo delay is its owo. I
am glad counsel hay agreed on th amouat
of ball. It meet with the approbation of
the court, which will not confine the sureties
to the District of Virginia. It would no
doubf bo satisfactory if about half of the
sureties be confined to the State of Virginia.
There Is no objection to having the remainder
of the bail from other portioosof the United
States. I WoOld Inquire of the counsel for
the prisoner Whether his sureties are present
to enter iuto recognizance to day t ;
Mr. O'Uonuor They are all prepared.
Mr. Davis, during these proceedings ex
hibited the utmost cheerfulness, especially
as many persons in the crowd extended
their hands; u congratulate him ou the
prospect of his speedy release. ' "
The Court The gentlemen proposing to
offer themselves, will please come forward.
Mr. O'Connor, addressing Horace Greeley,
who was seated near to Augustus Schell, in
vited him to present himself before the
court. Mr. Greely did bo.
District Attorney Chaudler said there were
eighteen gentlemen w ho would qualify
themselves in the sura of-5,000 each, leaving
two others to become sureties who would
probably arrive tins evening. Ho was cn-
ircly satisfied witu the list nt names, and
be responsibility attached to them. He
asked the court to tuke a recess.
Mr. O'Connor I am not so certain they
will arrive to-uight. It may be not till to
morrow. Meanwhile the introductions to Mr. Davis
and the hand shaking continued, and there
was m ut u contusion all over tue court-room.
District Attorney Chandler said Inas
much as eighteen gentlemen have offered, I
make no objections as to the lnsutiiciency
of the number.
Mr. O'Conor We are waiting for two
gentlemen, and while we are wuiLing, twen
ty others are willing to take their places.
Tho names of the sureties were severally
called, and they repaired to the Clerk's desk
and signed t!iu billowing paper:
I lie condition ot the recognizance is such
that, if the said Jefferson Davis shall, in
proper person, well and truly appear at the
Circuit Court of the United Slates for thu
District ot Virginia, to be held at Richmond,
in the said district, ou tho fourth Monday of
November next, at the opening of the court
on tli ut (lay, and then ana there appear.
from day to day, und stand to abide and
perform whatever shall be then aud there
ordered and adiudaed in respect to him
with the said court, and not depart Ironi
the said court without the leave of the said
court in that behalf first had and obtained,
then the recognizance to become void, other
wise to remain in full loicu.
Taken and acknowledged this thirteenth

Denison, (Iowa,) May 8, 18G7.
Friend Wileert :
Please continue the "American"
to my address, aa its visits are always very
welcome to me.
Since my last letter to vou, business had
culled mc to Woodbine, a new place 80
miles down tho Buyer river, in the heurt of
the Bower vallcv, and at present a division
of the C. & N.-W. It. It. I spent four months
there, and thu place proved to me a pleasant
retreat during the severe winter. Altogether
we had tho severest winter I ever endured,
the theimometer frequently ranging 120 deg
in all aiiout 70 inches ol snow, winch ut
forded one hundred days of good sleighing.
This season of snow was interrupted by the
most violent storms I ever witnessed, block
ading the ruilrnad for ten days nt four dif
ferent times, which marie travel and arrival
of in tii Its. distressingly uncertain. Hurdly
were the lust snowdrifts plowed through,
when the spring freshet cume in dieadt'ul
violence aud swept the whole valley, taking
in its irresistible course mile anil miles of
track. This occurred when the first rush of
travel westw ard was at its height, causing
an untold amount of disappointment aud
inconvenieuce to emigrants. Scores of men
were seen with satchels in hand, going
the distance Irom Montana to the Blurfs,
150 miles on foot.
These misfortunes, together wiih the ery
lute spring, has somewhat unfavorably im
pressed new comers, but since the fuir wea
ther has opened the tide of emigration
comes moving on ; train af:er truin loaded
with anxious passengers, and truin after
train of w hite covered wagons follow each
other in rapid succession, seeking for homes,
which they are sure to find, in the "free and
easy" air of these broad and fertile prairies.
Council BluIVs, Omaha and Sioux city,
rival towns, are filled to overflowing with
the result of "Westward, ho I" and a lively
trade is the consequence. A lurge amount
of building material and rolling stock is do
ing tuken over this road for the U. 1 H. R,
which is being pushed forward with the
utmost vigor. It will this season be com
pleted to Denison, when travel to the mines
w ill be greatly facilitated. At tho present
rate of progress, only a few years will be
required to make "both ends meet," and the
Californian can, in a few day's travel, visit
his friend in New Englund, and return.
Salt Lake City will lie a very prominent
point on said road, and upon its advent
there, the downfall of Mormonism or Poly
gamy, is sealed. No violent means are ne
cessary to accomplish this result. It will
die out by reason of its own inherent absur
dity. 1 have spoken with quite a nu nil er
of intelligent persons from there, both Mor
mons and "gentiles," aud they all agree
that the system cannot survive a large "gen
tile" Immigration. Hardly one "wife" in
twenty, they say, would not rather have
one whole gentile aa a husband, than the
tenth or twentieth part, of a saint. The in
ference is plain. The arrival there of a suf
ficient number of bacAelvri from these and
more eastern parts to provide hornet for
those women, individuuliy, will result in
the downfall of Polygamy. ' '
Our own little town is growing consider
ably this spring ; business is lively, plenty
of good land to be bad, aad large' numlier
of settlers wanted. We eats now boast of a
newspaper, of which I send you the first
number. It tells its own tale.
' With my best wishes to jau, and ' all
friends in old Northumberland. I remain,
' Yours, Cordially,
ISAAC EE M BEL.
