Once upon a time there lived an old man, whose worldly possessions qonsisted.in a small farm, a snug boose and barn, s horse, and.cow, and a dog. The cow-furnished him tvith-milk, batter, tend cheese; the horse plowed hia land, drew his hay and grain into the barn, and car ried bis surplus Crop to the market town. The dog defended both house and barn from depre dators, and the-crops from' destruction by un ruly cattle. With these opplianois the old man maitaged-ta eke out a bore subsistence: * : It matters little who this old man may have, been, at what period in history be lived, ,pr in what country. It.is with the oircumstaneeS-bf -bis life and what befel hinrthat we have to do. This old man -had neighbors; and tome of them Verebri excellent terms with him and some were riot. The drift of- public sentiment was in his favor; because he was very, helpless, spart from his little property, was industrious, honest, and.minded.his own business. But there were a few, idlers, drones in soci ety, who owed the old roan a grudge. Not that be did not rightly and. justly to the best of his ability, but because their natures were depraved and base,and intolerant of good example where intolerance could be safely practiced. It cap]e to.pass that the old man became .partially dis abled, so that it was with much dfficulty that he could attend to bis little farm work. • Upon this his inimical neighbors began the work of. petty persecution. At first theyonly threw down his- fences and exposed his crops to the incursions of the nnruly. cattle. But UID (!>>•••.■«. -1-0 , t - --- -- •» some degree. Seeing this they poisoned the dog. The friends of the old man remonstrated. To this the villains feturpefl that the dog was mad and deserved to die ; that they bad noth ing against bis mastery was willing that he should live and- cultivate bis farm' as be bad done. They next laid a plan to' disable tbe horse, which unhappily, succeeded. The neigh bbrs grew indignant and protested against the • villainy ; said they —“ these. were the depend ence Of tbe old mao, and without them be most perish.” The villains retorted to this that the old man b«d J the'.debd of his farjn and might live off it as usual: that they bad no feeling "against the old mao, bat did not like either the horse or the dag; and ns for that matter they did not like the .cow, nor tbe other means vfbereby the old man preserved his existence. So, one morning, the old matt missed his cow, and found want staring 'him in tbe face... The neighbors gathered .together and pat, forth an indignant protest against snob injustice. They declared that there was fan difference between the actions —destroying life, and destroying the . means of living. The villains insisted that they had.no designs upon the old roan’s life; that it was sheer folly to argne that tbe destine-* tion of fences was a destruction of crops; or that tbe killing or maiming, or abduction of dogs, horses and cows could have* the remotest bearing upon tbe personalaeouritypf the own ers thereuf. That in this cast the dog was vi cious, and tbe horse and cow were unruly; and that as tbey were not tbe old man, himself, their destruction could ndt,_in any sense, he called an attack npon tbe old man’s life. So tbe dispute waxed hotter and hotter, and continned for some daya; when at last it was ascertained that while the parties were dispo sing, and splitting hairs into airy nothings. Death bad. assumed the. umpire’s seat and ren dered'a decision without appeal. Whi-'e-the neighbors were disputing tbe old man starved to death. When we read tbe speeches of Fernando Wood, James Brooks A Co., and the lucubra tions of Copperhead.,editors, ail directed to the end of making every net and ntterance of the lawfully constituted authorities black with mis represenlationtend lies; and when we bear men denouncing-the President as imbecile, and every General who has. shown a disposition fo fight the rebels, somewhere or somehow, as a butcher; —abd when we hear these men de nouncing every measure intended to prosecute the war for national life to an honorable peace, as “despotic,” “tyranioal,’* “unjust,” “une qual,” and directly or indirectly, counseling disobedience to its mandate—wben we .bear these things, we ere reminded of. the villains who compassed the deatiuctJcirof the old man tbroogh the destruction of his means of sohsisfenoe; TnE Ynroo dtj Expedition wu a grand roe*»f Jfbi fora* destroyed l£(Sto,000 worth ofV»*r Jneawter rahiondlhree eleamett, 'J'T Major 171s< IUftP.M.

THE SOLDIERS ON COPPERHEADS.

On motion, the meeting was organized by the election of the following officers: President —Col. Charles Albright; Vice Pres idents—Lt.Ool.

Carnoahan. - After a brief absence the committee reported the following; Whkesas, In the imperiled condition of the country, it behooves all the trne hearted and loyal men to speak and define their posi tion, and let the world know whether they are for or against the Government of our fathers of tbe repnlblio, born oft the pore and patriotic blood of 76, baptized by the blood of freedom’s sons in tbe war of 1812, and'consecrated by the blood of the 'nation’s manhood in the war with Mexico; therefore, Resolved, That we, tbe officers and men of the 132 regiment Pennsylvania volunteers, are for thel Government first, last and all the-time, and in’ the language of the immortal Decatur, wo'are! for" oar country right or wrong,” Retained, That, wo Believe the first dnty of every American citizen is to assist, the Admin istration at Washington in maintaining consti tutional supremacy over every rod ap’d inch of national territory, and that we justify the Ad ministration in every step yet taken to secure this end. Resolved, That we regard the present rebel lion a crime against law, Christianity and civ ilization, and the conception of wicked and evil designing men-without a shadow of cause. That we owe it to the memory of our revolu fotmry sires and to future prosperity to main tain tbe-Natioual Government at pH costs. The National Goveryment at all hazards and at all costs. The pledged blood of ourWomrades who have fallen with their faces to the foe, demands that this wat shall go on. Their widows and orphans call upon' us not to yield to traitors in this grand and sublime contest for constitution al liberty and human freedom, until their sac rifices have been avenged, and nntll the last armed foe is extinguished or surrenders at dis cretion. We are in favor of this war let; it go on until every State no# in rebellion acknowl edges' the Constitution the supreme law of the land. Sesolied, Thai we are here to fight armed traitors,' and that we hare no sympathy for those at home who are forever finding fault with the Government, and wp? are never known to attorn word of condemnation against the conspirators of the' Govenynent, that now protects and shelters them. We despise copper heads, and hat for them believe' the war might now he ended. We regard them as more dan gerous than those in open rebellion. Retched, That' we are here in the field not as partisans, but as soldiers and defenders of the Union and the Constitution. Although haying formerly been connected with the vari es political organizations of the day, we be lieve that the administration of Mr. Lincoln, should, receive the support of ail loyal men, not because he. was elected as the.candidate of a party but beoanst he represents the nation in the present perilous and dangerous times. We believe that his hands should be strengthened and not weakened by the people-at home. He ia the bead, not of a party, hut of a great na tion. We hail with pleasure and gratitude the evidence of increasing. loyalty and patriotism in the North. May God speed; the good cause and confound all traitors, th A aiders and abet tors.

Every soldier who knows anything of i!s workings, will so testify. Its aim is to . minister to the wants of onr soldiers —to lessen suffering, disease and death, in bn# army. Hot only, hundreds, bat thousands,, and tens of thousands of our brave citizens, now . toiling for the common canse, .where death threatens in manifold form, or healed, to retorn to their happy homes again, can say and do say, not only truthfully, but feelingly: “My life was saved by tbs Sanitary .Commission 1” The Circulars of the Commission ate, widely distributed ,by all !of its branches and. snb branobas; in which am slated, the, methods of management, amount and application of snp pfitfs, Aci.andl wish to corroborate some of the statements, which seem io have found a few suspicions skeptics;. The Commission is~ composed'of eighteen menof eminent character and efficient usefulness, from the different Un ion states; including men of science, lawyers, statesman, clergymen, physicians; men oj in tegrity, skill and preal hearts. It is a volun teer aid to the Government, doing more than it can do, and it is writing bat a| grand history on the grateful hearts of suffering thousands —an illustrious page. , 1 Doing more.thati the government can do, in what it strives to and | give sppplies to hospitals for sick and wounded; —because this is its sole business, ■ where the. energies of the Government are divided, between the herculean labors uf clothing its vast-armies, furnishing food for its fighting men, arfd iron, lead and powder, equipments,; accoutrements, appliances, implements and munitions of war; although it is munificent, and gives with no stinted band, snpjplies medicines and convey ance, to the Hospital Department; hut it falls far, far below the) demand, even with the most signal aid of the Commission, whose work it is, to faithfully endeavor to supply this deficiency. Every chord of sympathy and compassion in every human breast that ever responded to a call of humanity, is moved, piteously moved, by the sight of the untold suffering Which may be witnessed just after a great battle. Now this ia a high, a noble purpose, well worthy the employment of an enlarged patriotism and a generous, quickened philantnrop j —there is but little truer action, than the relief of human suffering, endured in a brave' struggle for the Right. But there is little occasion for words to portray the need or right of ibis action ; but how shall we do H ? By aiding the Sanitary Commission. Effort without organisation‘often falls to the gronnd. They can do nothing alone; for they are the agents to rightly dis pense, the. offerings of the people—s ho are the real donors. They may donate thfir_gifts, lit .l„ or a-"--- iheir heart* iat>3 hjeans “v® little or great. , Our noble brotherhood of States vie with (each other ih the r monied, gifts; and yet in the face of such largo gener osity, a pressing want still remains. Our sick and -wounded have become a great multitude, and they increase instead of diminishing.; and hence the call for our charitable bounties. Partial, half-way. grudging chqfity is not good. Let it be full and manly and womanly, and without stint and murmur.
