' the editor of the Copperhead organ in onr
town, in their last issue, make a characteris
tically malignant ttack upon a respectable
clergyman who ' preached in the Methodist
church on the previous Sabbath, pronouncing
bis sermon "a stamp war speech ," and stigma
tizing the minister as "a first-class hypocrite''
and a "defamer of religion." Nor are tbey
- satisfied with a foul-mouthed abuse of this
class of persons generally ; bat the - editors
call upon their Copperhead trienda to "stop
the pay" of clergymen who do not see fit to
denounce the Federal Government and the
War, and intimate broadly that those who oe
bounce rebellion and treason from the pnlpit
are "risking tbeir own safety" by so doing.
Such language comes with exceedingly bad
grace from editors who are constantly bawling
about "Freedom of Speech," and who are so
profuse In their denunciations of "mob law"
when any of tbeir Copperhead brethren are In
any way molested. . As to "stopping pay,"
that la a game at which those who "make tip
the quarterage" of the clergymen can, per
haps, play aa effectually against the Copper
head editors themselves, as the latter can a
galost those whom they so bitterly denounce.
t, -. . VALtAWDIGHAM NOKIHATED.
The Democrats of Ohio have nominated the
traitor, Clement L. Yallandigbam, for Gov
ernor of that State,- with ex-Senator George
E. Pogh aa the candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. The leading politicians of the party,
acting In accordance' with the advice of the
Chattanooga Rebel and other Southern organs,
determined that Vallaodighaoi should be their
Standard-bearer, and the popular feeling on
the subject was never fairly tested. Perhaps
ft Is as well that this is so. There are- many
thousand of War Democrats In Ohio who will
never give their votes to Yallandigham, and
II a good Union candidate is brought out
one like Governor Tod, for Instance the trai
tor witl be as decidedly! condemned by the
people of Ohio as he bas been by the court
tnartla) and the verdict of loyal public opin
ion everywhere. 1 Vallandigbam was first nom
inated, let it be remembered in Chattanooga,
and be is thus distinctly made the rebel can
didate. If this fact is kept clearly before the
people of Ohio, and a strong Union candidate
is presented, around whom all the loyal vo
ters can rally, there need be no fears of tho
reSalt. . .. .. ; ... ,,
WHY THEY FAVOR PEACE.
J In the Address pat forth by the Copperhead
meeting, held at New York on the 30th inst.,
occurs the following : - -
"The .only road to Democratic victories it
through peace. Why should politicians fear
that a Peace party may prove unpopular. If
the war haa damned the Republican party, is
it not logical to suppose mat a peace policy
might prosper the opposition 1 Do the peo
ple love war more than peace t Do they pre
fer the hardships of the camp, the dangers of
the battle-field, the onus of taxation, to the
comforts, the pleasures, the prosperity of
poaceiui comes f " - . -
There we have the Copperhead creed "in a
tut-sbell." , With them party Is everything
the Government nothing, unless tbey can bold
the reins. With the Rebel State back in the
. Uoion.they think they can elect the next Pres
ident, and having that object in view, tbey
tell their followers that "the only road to Dem
ocratic victoriet is through peace?' And in or
der to secure the co-operation of all who for
merly acted with the Democratic party, they
try to make the War obnoxious by calling it
an ''abolition war" and by denouncing aa does
the Address referred to, every Democrat who
. is for prosecuting the same, aa "aa Abolition
" iat of the moat radical, violent and detrac
tive kind."

C0FPS2HKAD uonros.
Below we give several Items, in reference
to resisting the enrollment, which are, no
doubt, the friends of the teachings of such
men as Yallandigham & Co. f
On Tuesday or Wednesday of last week Mr.
Charles Tidd, Jr., Enrolling Officer for Polk
township, Monroe county," came into the black
smith shop of Mr. Ellas French, for tbe pur
pose of enrolling. Several persons present
gave tbeir names and ages. Mr Tracb refus
ed to give tbe proper answers. Angry words
ensued, when Tracb proposed riding the en-,
roller on a rail, on which he drew a revolver
and refused to submit to such treatment.
Tracb sent for a gun, when Mr. Tidd left for
Eaaton and complained to Col. Yobe, Provost
Marshal, who sent 26 soldiers to arrest Trach.
Tbey did not find him, however, and returned
to Eaaton. Several Copperhead farmers gath.
ered after their return to resist any attempt
to arrest Trach. Joseph Heckman, of Pocooo
township, Monroe connty, was arrested on
Monday evening last, tbe 8th, by some Gov
ernment officers, but was subsequently rescu
ed by some of his neighbors. On Tuesday
morning another attempt was made to arrest
him, but his guard was too strong. Heckman
had enlisted aa a volunteer and then deserted.
In Lebigh county, Deputy E. Lucas, of
Salsburg, has diet, with such stern resistance
that he has been compelled t.o abandon bis
task for the time being. Many of tbe people
on Lehigh Mountain secreted themselves, oth
ers were armed with cluba and some with guns,
others again set dogs on bim, and in some
portions fifteen to twenty would club togeth
er and make tne most violent threats sayihg
if tbe cluba they flourished, which Consisted
of pick and grubbing bOe bandies, were not
sufficient, they had about 2,000 muskets con
cealed in an adjacent locality. There ia suffi
cient evidence that a tegular Organization ex
ists in said district to resist the draft to the
utmost.'
Eli Cope, Esq., the Deptuty Provost Mar
shall of Fayette county, bas been notified by
(be enrolling officer of Henry Clay township.
that last week, be was notified to desist from
enrolling. Of course he paid no heed to tbe
notification's. A few evenings subsequent bis
barn was fired by an incendiary copperhead,
but fortionately the flames were extinguished
before any great damage resulted.
In Fulton county some of tho enrolling offi
cers have been rotten egged, and threats
made aginst their lives. In several instances
they have been shot at by persona concealed
in the woods. The barn of Wm. H. Powell,
tbe enrolling officer for Thompson township,
was fired and entirely consumed, together
with all tbe stock, farming utentila, ect.
Two men, named Matthias and . Lawrence
Hnss, residing in Beaver county, were ar
rested and taken to Pittsburg on Monday
June the '8th and after a bearing before
tbe United States Commissioner, H. Sprout,
Esq., were committed to jail to anawer a charge
of resisting the enrolling officer of tbe district
in which they reside.
Mr. Stevens, depnty marshal, and Mr. Clay
field, a detective, accompanied by an enroll
ing officer, were tired upon near MahnVille,
Rush county, Indiana, on June 10th by a par
ty of men bidder! in. a wheat field. Mr. Ste
ont was killed and ClaySeld mortally Woun
ded, and afterwards died. The enrolling officer
waa shot twice through tbe clothing, but es
caped uninjured. Two companies left Indian
apolis at once for the scene of murder.
ESCAPE 0FBEBEL PBIS0NEB8.
On the 10th June, the steamer Maple Leaf
left Fortress Monroe for Fort Delaware.for tbe
purpose of conveying ninety rebel commis
sioned officers to that post. The guard con
sisted of twelve soldiers, and as the steamer
was rounding thefUbj-house off Cape Henry,
tbe prisoners dittoed into squads and seized
tbe guard and the' officers of the boat, and
confined tfietn in aucb parts of the vessel as
prevented tbem from seeing tbe course they
were steering. After proceeding about 45
miles beyond the capea,they stopped and low
ered tbe yawls and soon succeeded in effecting
a landing on the southern Virginia Shore.
Twenty-six refused to land, saying they pre
ferred to return to Old Point and await their
time for- regular parole and exchange. , The
steamer returned to Fortress Monroe, and re
ported to Gen Dix, who sent Col Pieree in pur
suit of tbe fleeing fugitives sixty in number.
Blockade Ruxsers. A correspondent of
tbe Sow York Tribune at St. Johns, N.B.,
vindicates tbe citzena of that town against
cbargea of blockade running, and shows that
most of the contraband trade from there is
done by Americana who pretend to be loyal.
Steamers are sent from Boston and New York
to St. Johns, tbeir names changed, contraband
goods are pat on board by Yankees, and tbe
boats clear under a British register for Nas

Waa Department. Protost Marahal-Geh
real's Office, Washington D. C, Jane 6th,
1863 The follow Ins opinion of Hon. Wil
liam Whiting. Solicitor of tbe Wsr Depart
meat, has been ordered to be published by the
Secretary of War : ..
Opinion.
It is made the duty of Provost Marshals "to
obey all lawful orders and regulations of Ibe
Provost Marshal-General, and aucb as shall be
prescribed by law concerning the enrollment
and calling into service of the National forces."
(Act March 3d, 1863, section 7.)
The 25th section of tbe same act provides
that if any person shall resist anr draft ot
men enrolled nnder this act into tbe service of
tbe United States, or shall council or aid any
person to resist any such draft, or shall assault
or obstruct any officer in making such draft,
or in the performance of any service in rela
tion thereto, or shall counsel any person to
assault or obstruct any aucb officer, or shall
counsel any drafted men not to appear at the
place of rendezvous, or wilfully dissuade tbem
trom the performance of military duty, as re-.
quired by law, such person shall be subject to
summary' arrest by the Provost Marshal, and
shall be forthwith delivered to the civil au
thorities, and upon conviction thereof be pun
ished by a fine not exceeding five hundred
dollars, or by imprisonment not exceeding
two years, or by both of said punishments."
To do any act which will prevent or impede
tbe enrollment of tbe National forces I which
enrollment is preliminary and essential to tbe
draft,) Is to prevent or impede the draft itself.
Tbe enrollment is a service to be performed
by tbe Provost Marshal in relation to tbe
dratt. It is not tbe act of drawing ballots out
of a ballot box Itself, but it is "in relation to
it" and is the first step that must by law be
taken preparatory to draft. It is. therefore.
clearly within the duty of the Provost Marshal
to subject all persons who obstruct tbe enroll
ment, tbe meeting of the board, or any other
proceeding which is preliminary and essential
to tne a rait, to summary arrest, according to
the provisions of section 25.
There sre many ways of obstructing officers
In tbe performance of their "services or duties
in making or in relation to the draft," with
ont employing physical force. The neglectj
or refnaal to do sn act required by law to be
done, may itself be such an "obstruction" as
to subject the tflfendcr to arrest.
Suppose a person to be fonnd stand inz in a
passage through whicb the drafting officers
were required to enter into a place designated
by law as the place for draft, and suppose that
bis standing in that place would prevent ac
cess by these officers to tbe place of draft. If
they request bim to move away and he nee
lects or refuses so to do, for - tho purpose of
preventing the draft, the non-performance of
tbe act of removal won Id be itself an "obstruc
tion of the draft, or an officer in tli perform
ance of hia duty in relation to it."
Standing mute, in civil Courts, is. under cer
tain circumstances, a punishable offense ; and
so, if a person, with intent te prevent the
draft, refuses to give his true name when law
fully requested so to' do by an officer whose
legal duty is to ascertain and enroll it. it is an
obstruction of that officer in the performance
ol one of his duties in relation to the draft.
So, also, of tbe giving of false; names, with
the same illegal Intent. And the offender
will, in either case, be subject to summary ar
rest, by tbe Provost Marshal. ' :" ' ' ;
