lUvrrcml and Dear Brother :
Attracted by the title of your di,courjo

was in conspicuous typo on tho front page

0f that excellent paper and carefully laid

midst of so much learning, cloquenco and
loyalty. Inasmuch,
therefore, mv dear
brother, as you aro rosponeiblo lor my
absence from church I feci that I cannot
oinploy my leisure at home better than in
inditiug a few thoughts suggested by tho
perusal of your Fermnn. Of course what
I have to sav is intended for no eve but
your own, and I bog of you to destroy
these pages as oon as you have read them
lostthrv should fall into tho hands of
seme Copperhead who might presorvo or
misinterpct their meauing.
Tho most pleasing and striking feature
my dear brother, in your diseourso, is tho
immense encouragement it holds out to
loval sinners. No Uuivursalistovcr oponeil
tho gate of Iloaveu wider or mado tho cise ol tho needful and righteous power of
road thither smoother for tho general arbitrary arrest, without which free gov
miblio than vou haao doDo for your nolit- eminent would be a nicro mockery a
ioal brethren, among whom I am proud to
be classed. Instead of tho old straight
ami narrow path through whioh it was
once vulgarly supposed the pilgrim must
ncods strugglu and scramble to reach tho
Heovouly height, you have substituted an
Tranent, macadamized .ccolesiastioal turn
niko. broad enough to admit of tho pas.
a"o of vehicles of all descriptions, and
traded so dexterously as to leavo the tray-
a
aler unconscious that ho is making any
ascent at all. Or, to drop metaphor,
( which, by the way, I abominato as a vto-
iouB kind of writiDg) I am rejoioed to seo
thatyouhavo thrown aaido the narrow
and malignant orthodoxy onco currently
imputed to you, nnd adopted a oreed wor-
tlitr nf th,! beral and adranocd bbo in
"V
vliinli wu live.
Thero aro nersOn. as vou arc possibly
aware, doar brother, who read tho New
Tcstaraont in a.spirit so dark,and put up-
on it a construction nofalso and perverted,-
n. hold that onW thniic who believe
baptism with Him and partako of Hi
SaoraniouU-nfao are membera of III
ohurch and followers in His footitops
oan obtain ctornal life. Out if anything
was necped to domonstrato ihc falsehood
of suoh theology us this, it is, ns I gather
ed from your discourse, tho fact that it
makes no room among tho saints for oar
lato beloved President. If the gloomy
readings of the fanatic are to bo beliovcd
God is no rcspeoi of persons, andomin ont
party services aro not credited in tho awful
acoount as oflsots to ncgloct of His ordi
nances and breaobes of His commands.
Itiasmuoh, thorcforc, as our lato chief was
never baptized, nover mado any profession
of faith in Christ, ncyor partook of His
Sacraments, or embraced what is callod
l,theplooof salvation," and raroly at
tentlod church, if wo adopt tho fiendish
doctrines of tho bigot wo must boliove
lht ho shall bo judged hy tho same gos
pel standard as tho obscuro Copperhead
who has shown tho same unmindfulnoss
ot tho ordinaueos of religion. How dt
lighted'I am, doar brother, to see that you
reject with scorn such indecent blasphomy,
and along with it tho obseleto docttincsof
Peter and Paul and James and Luther
and Melancthoa and Jeremy Taylor and
tho other rudo spirits of long-gono and
barbarous ages.
Aud here let me own that hitherto tho
exercise of loyalty and tho enjoyment 01
its earthly rewards has been marred, in
ray cao,by oortain doubts oud misgivings
abont tho future, A widespread .feeling
of joy exists among the Copperheads,
based on tho tru?t that offiences and con
tracts in this world arc by no moans her
ald, and assurances of harps and crown
in ibu next. Yos, I oonfuss,dear brother,
that I have myself had reasons of d
despondency while pondering this subjpot.
But your blonscd word Iiavo soothed my
doubting soul and uleared away the 01m
from my blinded oyos. I never felt such
a cheering assurance of Heaven as in
rcadiDg your most Catholio an'd liberal
disooursc. Indeed, I feel a sort of beati
fic exaltation to-day in view, of the pros
poet ol a bli-sful immortality whioh you
have opened up to mo, as with a wisDrd,s
wand. If our dear departed brother's
political services, as yon beautifully sug
gest, aru sufficient to wipe out his MOB,will
not tho like serviocs of humbler brethren
of the party avail to obliterate thihs ?
Have I nut faithfully servod my country
as n collector of Internel Rcvenuo through
the whole of our long war for liberty and
should an untimely hot or thrust call me
hence before tho exp ration of ray official
luru, il I,ot !l blod 'bought that some
reverend fiicnil like that dear brothcr,wil
kindly n-oouut my asoonsion to tho man
sions of tho blest, to a giping auditory,
and explain the facts which iu my case,
dippensed with the need of faith, baptism,
and sacramental bread and wine ? Ah '.
bow refreshed I feel and with what holy
coiiGduncB and zeal will I rcsunio to uior-
row my waeK daJ worK 01 00"eoting from

Copperhoads, who Uavo, utterly lauoo to

their innocence of orimos, of which thoir
manaolci must have feolingly admoniih'cd
in theui tbny wero suspected
- Xour invooation, doar brother, in Ihe
loyal ererjHhoro, to pruj that our noble
President mny bo brought into a stato of
graoo on iho coming anniversary of our
National independence, will meet a ro
sponso from ovory pious and patriotio
hoart. Thoro is something truly grand In
tho conception of his conversion at such a
time something in keeping with his ex
alted position as tho head of this emanci
pated nation. If ''ihoro is joy in Heaven
over ono sinner who ropoutcih," fanoy tho
intensified delight of tho celestial compa
ny at tho conversion of our President on
our national holiday at tho tpectaole of
him sinking on his knees amid tho roar of
cannon, tho waving of tho star-spangled
banner, tho cherrings of the crowd, the
rhctorioal hcllowings of a thousand orators
tho explosions of pop-bottles, and tho
orackiug of grouud nuts between the teeth
of a million loyal littla boys. Yrou have
a sense of tho sublime, dear brother, of
which I hardly suspocted you a concep
tion of dramatic effect rarely found outside
of tho theatrical temples of sin.
It occurred to mo, at first, as a possible
objection to your plan, that, lift) being un
certain, oven in tho caise of exalted officials
our Chief Magistrate might unfortunate
ly bo cutoff by casualty or discaso boloro
tho day appointed for his regeneration.
But a moment's rcfkolion assured me that
while this sad calamity might doprivo tho
country of a most agrconblo and striking
religious spcctnclo on the day of its great
festival, it could by no means jeopordizc
the prospects of the Pretldnlin tbo world
to come. HiB distinguished ecrvie.es to
the came of freedom as Military Govern
or ol Tennessee nnd olsowhero afford abun
dant data from which I feel, dear brother,
hat you could arrange his salvation on
moat satisfactory basis. Whilo we will all
look eagerly to the Fourth, therefore, in
accordance with your suggestion, wo will
feci in tho interval no nervous alarm about
tho di.-tinguisbed oandidato for ropen
tanoe.
Ono more thought. Speakiug of the
Copperheads and sympathizers, you eug
gest that their only refuge to savo their
cluldrea from infamy is to have their
names changed, or to cmigrnto fo foreign
lands, I concur with you in this kind sug
gestion, and have read that portion of
jour dii-courso to certain Copperhead
neighbors of mine, who have been sorely
puzzled to know what to do with the
weight of infamy which is accumulating
upon their back, and, as jou eloquently
remark, is branded on their foreheads.
Strauge to say, they leaped eagerly at
your generous proposition. Two of them
i mmediately begun to pack their trunks
and expect lo Uke ship at Now York next
woek. Ono of them has already sailed as
a steerage passenger for Bremen. Others
arc, as rapidly ns pnssiblo, inventing new
names for themselves. Prom but ono have
I received any insolenoo, nnd ho is a low
fellow whoso hcaTt has been with tho Cop
perheads from tho beginning. " Change
my name I" said he, with impudont bra
vado. "What shall 1 change it to! If I
call myself Grcoly thoy might think that
I wroto that poetry about ihe 'taunting
lie' and the 'starry rag.' If I call myself
Garrison they will swear that I was tho
clian who denounced tho Constitution of
tho United States as a covenant with
Death and an agreement with Uoll. If I
call myself Sumner I might bo mobbed for
saying that tho man who obeyed tho Con
stitution wos a dog. If I look tho tiamo
of Wright, who kuows but that I should
bo followed up as tho howling infidel who
said that if Cod Almighty did net abolish
slavery, Ilo was a very great scoundrel.
And I oertoinly shan't oall mysolj Philips
for fear cxciied.bondholders should lynch
mo for proposing to repudiato tho nation
al debt. No Judas," he ooucludod 'If I
have ta drop my old name and tako a now
one, you hvve a d n'd poor assort-
mcnt in the Abolition vocabulary to choose
from."1 I need scarcely remark, rever
end and dear brother, that I was only re
strained by tho prominent musoulardovol
opement of this profano wretch from
knocking him down on the spot.
Exouso tho length of this opistlc, doar
brother, and bolievo nic, yours, In the hope

The Future.
When wo look forward into the future,
how littlo do wo seo, that assures us of
length of life, or brighter prospcots. But
all uncertain do wo tako tho step, as it
wcro, in tho dark. Wo make our plans
as wc will, wo may promise ourselves that
the morrow may bring some pleasing as
aooiations, but wc only awake to find our
joys turned into Eorrow and disappoint
mcnt. But hope, high hope, buoys us up
to renew our journey, and thus we aro led
on, step by step, through changes and
trials, until tbo final change oomes, which
unveils the great mystery of death! to our
eyes. Could we forseo tho path we must
tread, who could for a moment have the
oourage to travel on 1 No heart would bo
bravo enough to cueounter the trials wbioh
beset them. But with our ignoraneo of
the futuro, and Hope leading her Syren
voice to win us onward, wo trust her in
cnud liiro simplicity, and go on rejoicing,
oftentimes at tho vorge of destruction.
How wisely has it been ordained by the
Fathers, that wc should be unoon'icious of
our futuro life, as it would destroy all in
tcrests of lifo in onr earthly existenoo ; we
should remain tn apathetic indifferenco to
existence and usefulness. But tho uncer
tainty brings Hope, and Hope gives Li!o
wbioh animates us to press onward, sur
mounting obstacles, ovorcomieg pain and
anguish, with tho consolation that tho fu
ture will be brighter, and our life will yet
bo clothed in flowers. Thus wo journey
on. hoping for the best, trusting in God
who has wisely hidden these things from
us.

Sherman Worsted. Whon General
Shorman was in oommand at Benton Bar
racks, St, Louis, ho was in tho habit of
visiting every part of that institution, and
makcing himself familiar with ovory thing
lhat was conic: on. He woto an old brown
coat and a stove, pipe bat, and was not
generally recognized by tho minor officials
or tho soldicje.
Ono day whilo walking throuch tho
grounds he met with a soldier who was un
mercifully boating a mule.
"Stop pounding that mule!" said tho
General.
"Git eout!" said tho eoldior in b lissful
iirnoranoo to tho person whom ho was
speaking.
"I tell vou to stop!" reiterated the
- - -
Gonoral.
"You mind your businoss, and I'll mind
mine," replied tno.Boinier, ooBijnuwg nn
flank movomontupon the mule.
I tell you again to stop I ' said tho
General. "Do you know wjjo i am l l
am General Sherman."
That's played out," said the,soh3ier 5
t'ovcry man who comes along boro with
an old brown ooat and stovo pipo hat on
claims to be General Sherman."
It is prosumed that for onoe Goneral

Mobbing a Woman In Iowa.
For a few days, Iodianola bts boon tlio
sccno or Amazonian warfare, A dis
graceful mob, composed of women, has
given the town a notorioty which its well
disposed and orderly citizons must bo
heartily ashamod of. It appears that a
Mrs. Paterson, a widow lady, who has
been undor tho doctor's care for twowooks
was peouliarly offensive to tho exclusively
loyal female portion of that town, for
romo expressions of hostility to tho Ad
ministratien prior to tho unfortunate doath
of Mr. Lincoln. On tho rcoeipt of the
news of tho diabolical assassination of
ihe Prosidcnt, without giving the subjeot
tho lca'st investigation, and bidding defi
anoo to tho laws, a number of women,
among them the wife of the Presiding El
der of tho Methodist Church, viiitod tho
houso of Mrs. Patterson and compellod
her, an invalid, to leave her houso, and
carry an emblem of mourning, which, wo
understand, was a flag, and march around
tho town.
She protostcd that she had not uttered
a word of exultation at the doath of the
Prosident, and implored thorn to confront
her with tho witness ; but her protesta
tions were answored by tho insulting ro
ply that she was lying. She assured
them that she was unablo to walk the dis
tance required, and if forced- to perform
tho humiliating sorvioo thoy must oarry
her. Her protestations of innocenoo, her
widowhood, and even tho precarious oon
dition of her bcalth,had no power to move
thoir pity. Go sho must, and thay forced
her out the houso.and dragged hor around
tho streets to bo scoffed and jeered at?
tearing her dress nearly off. Not confont
with-inflicting this gross indignity upon
the siok mother thoy attempted to com
pel her little daughter, thirteen years of
ogo to porform the samo service, and be
cause eiho had spirit enough to resist tho
outrago she was boaten and bruiied' until
blood streamed from her noso and ber
arms wero black and bluo. Tho above,
we aro credibly informed, are faots.
What lower depth of degradation can
wo reach than tho existence and tbc en
couragement of a public sentiment which
transforms females, in the midst of sohools
and ohurohes, and surrounded with what
ought to be Cbristion influences, into the
worst type of men! Do those women desire
that their sons and daughters Bhould pat
tern after them, and trample under foot
tho laws of sooioty, humanity and God ?
Such an exhibiliou of heartlcgsness and
eontempt of law, humanity and Christian
ity disgraoelul alike to tho town and tho
parties engaged in it wo venture to say
has not ooourred since tho mobs of Paris
whioh originated tho bloody and disgrace
ful French Revolution of 179S. Have our
people gone stark mad, and aro tbo raoth
ora and daughters of Amorioa to live in
history as the most degenerate typo of
their olass!
As profoundly as wo pity the poor inval
id mother who was scourged in the public
streols of Indianola, and who pained by
tboontrages visited upon her little daugh
ter, we would ratner a thousand times oe
cupy her position and havo her feeling than
the uncnviablo notoriety and torture of
sou of those who persecuted hor.
Sinoe writing tho above wo undorstaud
that Mrs. Patterson went to tho postmas
ter of Indianola, who was reported as tho
witness against her and demanded tho
reason for roporting suoh a falsehood, and
bo denied utterly ever having heard or re
ported any such thing'
