Democrats Copperhead.?.
There is one fact which is generally know n,
yet worthy of mention. It is this: That
there id a manifest differeii'-e Ittwoen Dem
ocrats ami Copperheads. The former are
true Union men; the hitter, at lenst, are
wini-secessionists". The oneelasa sustaiti the
National Administration, heartily are in fa
vor of the Emancipation and Amnc.-ty proc
lamations are lor a vigorous prosecution of
the war and Jwill give their live, if needs
be, to crush out the rebellion. TIio other
class are continually finding fault with every
act of the legally constituted :mthorities
are opposed to the measures adopted for the
suppression of the rebellion art; hostile to
the conscription aet, and only favor the en
listment of Union men term the war for
the Union as a "nigger war" ami like the
rebels in arms, designate our eiierals as
"Beasts" and "Abolitionists." No one
need mistake the latter picture. It is true
to nature, and can be seen daily and in near
ly all public resorts. Hut. we presume, the
t ime will come when it. will hide itself when
t ho.;e who now disparage our Union victo
ries, and sympathise with the rebels, wiilbe
ashamed to wn that they htdontred to that
class which we denominate Copperhead--, 1
1 hough many seem to rejoice in the appella
tion now. Iong live the Union and its de
lenders, and may traitors and their .sympa
thisers be consigned to an eternal infaniv.
Republican "War Democratic Rebellion.
It is frequently said that thi is h ' '11c
pubHcan War." If do. then we presume,
the rebellion is a ''Democratic Rebellion" !
Whether this is so, we will not now stop to
inquire. But, one fact stares us in the face,
and can,t be successfully denied, which is,
that the great majority of those who coin
pose the Union armies are Republicans,
whilst those who are in rebellion against our
governmcnt are "mostly ''Democrats" not
one Republican being in the re! nil armies.
When thi rnhjoU'0" w.-. )pnri-,ti
were Sutle.eti Democratic trovernors and
fifteen Republican Governors. Twice, of
the "Democratic" Governors went with the
rebellion up to their shoulders whilst three
of the remaining four, manifested a remark
able weakness of the knees ; but, on the
other hand, ecr,ry Republican Governor
f tood up manfully and boldly for the Gov
criimett, and contended for th Union and
the crasluiiu" out of tliw rebellion. Besides,
there is not a sing!? f-ympathiser with, or
an apologist fur liie rebellion, that do.'S
not call himself a 'Democrat.' These arc
facts that no intelligent man will gainsay.
Senatorial Election. The tleetirn for
a Senator in the Indiana a::d Arm.-tr"iij dis
trict, to fill the vacancy ocr-a.-ionod by the
resignation of Major Harry Whit;:, rfsubvd
in the choice of Dr. St. Clair; The vote
stood as follow:
- .St. Clair. U. Doughs, C.
Indiana, maj. l.'.'rl?,
Armstrong. 2.:MS 2.137
4,131
2,137
Union maj. 1,991
Thisresult must be grai ii ing to the friends
of the Union everywhere. The "dead-lock"
in the Senate being now removed, we Lope
to sec ourJLegislature at once proeeedjto bus
iness, and pass all laws that may be deemed
necessary --with as little delay as possible.
Two weeks siaee we referred to the fact
that four youttg men hud gone into the ar
my out of the Journal office, and Incident
ally remarked that "whether this exit is the
result of our precepts, or not. we leave our
readers to judge." Our Copperhead neigh
bors embraced the opportunity to advise us
al.-o to "practice" what we teach by "pre
cept." This advice is altogether gratuitous
and comes with ill grace from men who arc
always discouraging rc-enlistments, and from
whose establishment not the first man has
gone into the . army as yet. However, we
presume, the attnrjtes of the Copperhead
organ only "practice" the. precepts taught
by the editors of that cowers, and stay at
home.
In a speech in the House of Rcpitfceuta
tives, a few days since, Fernando Wood,
with sublime assurance, declared : " We of
yew York sent fourteen regiments into
Pennsylvania when she was invaded." "We
of Xeio York!" A witty Pennsylvania
member replied soto voce, "Yes you did,
Fernando the muskets that you sent to
Georgia when the war broke out came back
to Pennsylvania at Gettysburg. Fourteen
regimentsof your friends, and more, brought
them!"
There was held an emancipation meeting
at Covington . Kentucky, which passed . un
conditional Union resolution, indorsed Tie
r enlistment:, nd the President's pros-larjation.
Gen. Gaatt &ad the Copperheads.
Gen. Gantt, a Democrat, having been iu
the rebel army and having l-een convinced
of his wrong doing, a short time .since re
nounced his connection with the Slavehold
ers' relxdlion and took the oath of allegiance
to the United States. Xest, he used his in
fluence to restore his State, Arkansas, to
the Union, and accordingly came on to Wash
ington to take the preliminary steps for the
consummation of that much desired object.
On his way thither he made speeches at sev
eral points, whic h seem to have aroused the
ire and animosity of the Copperhead
journals generally, and they at once set about
to destroy public confidence in what he says.
For instance, the Copperhead organ in this
place, to this end, prints what purports to
he an extract from a speech delivered by
Gen. Gantt in Georgia in 1S0O, and then
cxultinly remarks :
"The question is then suggested whether
the man w ho would thus publicly exult over
such shocking murder is worthy of trust ?
Who can have faith in the oath, ttf allegiance,
ot such a man ? And such is the character
cf a leading witness produced by his broth
er traitors against the loyalty of the Dem
ocratic party ! Does our neighbor waut any
more "revelation'."
This "significant revelation"' by our Cop
perhead neighbors is suggestive of several
thoughts. As long as Gen. Gantt was
"true" to Rebel--, these editors never
uttered one word of condemnation against
him ; but no sooner does he take the oath of
allegiauce to the Constitution of the United
St'ites, than he is denounced as a murderer
and itnicor'thy of trv.it. Why did not these
Copperhead editors discover this "signifi
cant revelation" long since ? Why not de
nounce him as a murderer in 1SG0, at which
time, perhaps, they knew just as well as now
that he had uttered the words attributed to
him ? The reason is. obvious ! Then he be
lieved in "Democracy" and treason, but now,
he becomes true to his country and a "trai
tor" to Copperheadism and the rebel con
spirators and hence the abuse and hatred
for this penitant "Southern brother."
It is a fact worthy of remark, that when
ever a Rebel or a sympathizer with ticasoti
repents, and gives in his adhesion to the
Government and the Union, he is set up as
a target lor the envenomed arr.nvs of Cop
perhead malice. Whenever a "Democrat"
avows his intention to assist in the crushing
out of this rebellion, he looses ca-te with the
Copperhead faction, and becomes at once
the object of their bitterest hate and denun
ciation. Andrew Johnson of Tennessee,
Horace Maynard of Kentucky, Daniel S.
Dickinson of New York, and a host of oth
ers arc living illustrations of the truth of
our remark. No man is more cordially ha
ted bv both the rebeJspf'tlieSoiitVi nr !.;
copperhead allies of the .North than Gen.
Butler. And why ? Simply leeaue. though
a Breckinridge Democrat, he has been true
to his country, and has been indefatigable,
ever since the incipient dawning of treason,
in his efforts to preserve the Union. Gen.
Gantt is but another illustration of the same
fact. His character as a (rue patriot will
ri-c.precisr-ry in ths same ratio of copper
head denunciation. The more the reptiles
attempt to Le-i-iiim; hini, the more firmly will
hi reputation for loyalty be established in the
mind of every tine lover of his country.
But, Gcu. Gantt' s repentance and taking
the oath of allegiance, is not the main rea
son why his reputation is assailed and his
character traduced by the whole Copper
head clan in the North. In a speech at
Harri-burg. win n on his way to Washing
ton, he remarked that the "Democratic
leaders'' in the North hod encouraged the
South to rebel hod jtromised them assist
ance and more recently told 1IJM that if the
rebels would Hold out little, longer they
trnxdd he sveenxsful and that he could give
the names of some prominent Pennsylva
ni&a.s if what Jie s-aid was disputed Such
are the "revelations" by Gen. Gantt. and
the consequent malignity of the Copperhead
leaders against him. But, we opine, that
this attempt to destroy all confidence in his
disclosures will prove futile in the hands of
these semi-secessionists in the North.
Their course is too well known. They have,
from the commencement of the war, been
grumbling at and finding fault with the Na
tional Executive, and traducing and malig
ning and terming as "Abolitionists" our sol
diers and all others who favor the restora
tion of the National authority over the re
bellious States and hence the people will
place little confidence in what they now say
of Gen. Gantt, or any other true friend of
the Union.
The Charleston Mercery says that Seei-e-tary
Chase is makingevery exertion to flood
the South with greenbacks, which, unless
immediately checked, will subvert our (the
rebel) currency and thus infiict a mortal blow
on the .success of the cause. The same pa
per also says thatthe constant dropping of
the enemy's (Union) shot and shell is tell
ing on the lower part of the city of Charles
ton. The editors of the Copperhead organ, in
their last issue, seem to doubt the correct
ness of the extracts from the Herald and
World, which we published the week pre
vious. Why do they make special refer
ence to the World ? Did they refer to the
Herald and find our extract genuine; but
couldn't see the other? Better put on your
'fpecs' and try again.
Five iiiore Union officers have arrived at
Fortress Monroe wbo escaped from Libby
Prison two weeks since. : '
THE "WAR SEWS.
The expedition which was recently sent
to Florida has met with much success, and
with a severe reverse. A battle took place
at Oliqucl on the Jih or ith, in which our
troops captured and destroyed over one and
a half millions dollars worth of rebel prop
erty, and captured 4 rifled cannon, four cais
sons filled with ammunition, four wagons,
fifty horses and mules, camp and garrison
equipage, and a large list of officers' bag
gage six prisoners and a telegraphic in
strument. They then proceeded to Bald
win, where they found three railroad cars
loaded with corn, cotton and ammunition,
and in the depot S3 barrels of turpentine, 16
tierces rice, 40 boxes tobacco, and a large
lot flour, saddles, ordinance stores and camp
equipage, etc.; and four miles from the
city they captured 1000 barrels of turpen
tine and a lot of bacon. Next they reach
Sanderson. When they entered the place
they found that the rebels had fled, having
set fire to some buildings containing valua
ble stores. From Sanderson they proceed
ed towards Lake City, and on the way cap
tured Camp Fmningan, with a large lot of
sabres, carbines, pistoles, etc., the rebels
destroying a vessel and 275 bales of cotton
near the place. On the afternoon of the
20th, our troops met the enemy about 1"),
000 strong, about eight miles beyond San
derson, on the Jacksonville and Tallehasse
railroad. A battle ensued. The battle
was desperately fought during three hours,
and at sunset our forces, overpowered by
numbers, retired to Sanderson, taking with
them the greater part of the wounded. All
the officers of Hamilton's Battery were
wounded. Col. Henry of the 40th Mass.,
had three horses shot under him, but es
caped unhurt. The enemy's loss is not
known. They captured three guns. Gen.
Haidee was on the field, and the troops are
supposed to be part of Bragg' s army- Our
loss is variously estimated at from 000 to
12(H), in killed, wounded and missing.
The late.-t reports lepcat, without confirm
ing, Ijongstreet's retreat across the French
Broad River. It is thought here that, hav
ing failed to accumulate force sufficient for
prompt, energetic operations on our com
munications, ho has grown fearful of con
centrations against him or Johnston, and is
now endeavoring to form a junction with the
latter at Dalton betbre the Spring campaign
can open. The largest estimates give Long
street 20,()t infantry and 50 field-pieces.
Johnston can alone have at Dalton six di
visions of infantry, about HO.OtW men. The
two armies concentrated will probably mus
ter 60,000 men, and might prove dangerous.
Gen. Palmer s force occupied Ringold on
Mondav afte.i-nw "--J "A.ntry
m advance drove out the small Rebel patrols
found at Colorado, about two miles distant,
but did not pursue. The town is quiet. But
seven families are left in the place, which
formerly had .VX) inhabitants.
We have Newborn dates to the 17th inst.
Our men made a raid to Luke Phelps on the
22d of January, captured a number of guer
rillas, and destroyed some Rebel property.
On the 2"th. a forage was made ten miles
beyond Colerain, on the Chowan River. when
ournicii succeeded in capturing and destroy
ii:.g 20s ), 000 pounds of pork, some tobacco,
cotton, horses, m iles, wagon-, Occ. Some
prisoners were taken and one man killed
accidentally. On the 2'Jth. a movement was
made toward Windsor. The bridge and
cantonment near Windsor were destroyed
horsea, mules, wagons, ammunition, and
clothing were captured. Two prisoners were
taken and several prominent citizens were
brought away as hostages for persons confin
ed at Richmond. On the 2d inst. we cap
tured several cart loads of pork tiaveling for
Dixie, estimated at.3.-r"!i pounds.
A Nashville dispatch of the 2'jth says :
A scout arrived from Gen. Grant's headquar
ter says Gen. Sherman has struck the Mo
bile and ( )hio Railroad and cut Polk's army
in the middle, and that both sides are run
ning away from each other. Gen. Sherman
subsists on the country, which abounds in
stores. There was great excitement at
Montgomery, and the. people were much
scared. There is a tremendous Rebel cav
alry force in the rear of Sherman, but no
apprehensions are felt for a Uniou disaster.
Gen. Grant's scouts also report that a heavy
attack on the forts of Mobile is in full oper
ation, but with what success could not be
learned.
A Fort Smith dispatch says: Advices
from the Indian country state that the val
ley on the Canadian River and its tributa
ries, is clear of .Rebels, and that the Upper
Seminole country is entirely swept of every
thing. All Rebel nupplies for a movement
in Arkansas must come from Red River,
where they are now concentrated. The Reb
el Indians are thoroughly' disheartened.
Col. Phillip's brigade had a fight with the
Rebel Indians and Texans on the Middle
Boggy River on the 14th inst., killing 40 of
them. The enemy was pursued to Fort Ar
buckle. Our forces then retired to the Can
adian River. Our loss was one.
A detachment of 150 Union cavalry was
attacked near Dranesville on Monday morn
ing by Mosby's men. Eight were killed,
seven were found wounded, and from 50 to
75 are missing. Capt. J. S. Reed, who was
in command ot the detachment, was killed
by a shot through the lungs. Our dispatch
adds: "Troops were sent in pursuit. " Is
it not alxtut time that some enterprising U
riion ofiicer (and there are plenty of them)
was premittcd to undertake the chastif emcnt
of this Mosby ? Thus far it would seem
that he has been carefully protected, and no
man has been premittcd to do him the least
harm.
Advices from North Carolina state that
the Rebels will undoubtedly make another
effort to drive Gen. Peck's forces out of the
State. They have three iron-clads nearly
ready to move down the Neuse, Roanoke
and Tar Rivers. Our late raid troubled
them greatly, by destroying a vast amount
of commissary stores. It is said that Gov.
Vance demands the expulsion of the Union
forces from the State, as the condition of
keeping the State troops in Confederate ser
vice. Hence, it is theorized, the Rebels
will abandon Virginia and plau their next
battle-field in North Carolina.
A rceonnoissanee in force in command of
Gen. Stoneman was made on Monday night,
221 inst., toward Bull Gap, which discover
ed that the Rebel cavalry had retreated be
yond the French Broad. On the 20th Gen.
Longst reet began his retreat from Straw
berry Plains towards Bull Gap, first destroy
ing the bridge. General Schofield moved
to the Plains with the Union forces on the
24th, assigning the command of the post
and defenses of Knoxvifle to Brig. -Gen.
Ha'scall.
Gen. Palmer skirmished with the enmy
all day of the 23d, and succeeded in driving
hint to Tunnel Hill, Georgia. On pushing
after the rebels to Tunnell II d they opened
heavily with field pieces. It is supposed
that they are going to dispute our further
advance at that point. Later advices state
that Palmer carried Tunnel Hill on the
morning of the 25th after considerable skir
mishing. Three hundred rebels wore cap
tured. Our loss was 75.
Ve learn from Port Royal that on the 1 Pth
inst., at 9 p. m., the Rebels succeeded in
floating a torpedo 'against thy sloop-of-war
Housatauic, and injured her so that she
sunk in a short time. Two officers and
three men were drowned ; all others were
rescued. Our troops had made ou the 14th)
a successful reeonnoissance up Savannah
Rivev to William's Island.
The gunboat Conestoga, ten miles below
the mouth of Red River, recently captured
1'our Rebel officers, two of them Colonels,
while attempting to cross the river with a
large Rebel mail, 2'0.0 00 in New-Orleans
money, .')0 bales of -cotton, a number of
mules, horses arid wagons, and other prop
erty to be delivered to the Quartermaster at
Natcb.cz.
On Tuesday the 23d a small party of guer
rillas made a dah on the residence of Mr.
Walter Gillinubam, about two miles from
Springfield, near Alexandria, Va., and suc
ceeded in capturing that gentleman and his
two l.irot liers-m-iaw. ?lr. ( Jiliinchanr af
terwards made his escape and reached Al
exandria. An official dispatch says that our troops
in Arkansas are ridding t lie country of arm
ed Rebels with great success. The secrecy
of the. movements confound the enemy so
that they have lost all heart, nd surrender
in small .spiads every day.
It is reported that B.-igadier-G,uiera!
Croeker of Iowa died at Jackson, Miss., re
cently, from wounds received in a skirmish
witli the ivjoels in the advaftc-j ot Go::.
Sherman's army.
Nearly 300 Rebels have been captured in
the neighborhood of Helena and sent to
Nashville by Gen. Buford during the past
mouth.
Latkst. Gen. Sherman is represented as
safe at Selma, Ala. subsist off the couiitiy
and no apprehensions for his safety are
felt. Gen. Smith had been sent to make a
junction with Sherman and proceeded south
to West Point, on the Mobile and Ohio Rail-;-oad,
halfway between Corinth and Maridi
an. where met overwhelming numbers, and
after some skirmishing returned failing to
accomplish Lis object. He tore up Railroads
and bridges seized corn and cotton and
captured 2.000 negroes, S00 Rebels, and o
ver 1.500 mules and horses.
It is reported that the Army of the Poto

r THE C0U3CEIPTIO2T BILL
Whatever may be the extent to which the
needs of the country may necessitate the
practical enforcement of the draft, it is one
comfort that we have at length a Conscrip
tion Law which is measurably perfect, and
which is ready to hand whenever occasion
requires. The act of last year, to which the
bill just passed takes the form of an amend
ment, proved notoriously defective, and it be
came the duty of Congress to remedy its er
rors. In doing this, the committees "intrust
ed with theelaboration of the new bill deserve
the credit of patient, laborious, conscientious
effort. All other systems of conserption
have been laid under tribute and no pains has
been si ared to render the law at once efficient
and just. If it has seemed at times that the
elaborate di.scus.-ion it occasioned in both
branches of Congress was causing needless
delay in the passage of the measure, it is at
least a matter of satisfaction that wre have
now a law which bids fair to realize the prac
tical desideratum contemplated, without
at the same time being too onerous on the
public.
In its final form the bill provides that the
quotas of localities shall be as nearly a pos
sible in proportion to the number of men resi
dent therein liable to military service, taking
into account, as far a practicable, the num
ber which has been previously furnished.
Those enlisting in the naval service will also
be taken into account, as weii as all who may
volunteer after tjie ordering of the draft. It
also provides that if the quota of any dis
trict shall nt be tilled by the draft, lurther
drafr shall bo made, and like proceedings
had until the quota ot the district Mllel."
Persons enrolled may furnish at any time
previous to the draft an acceptable substitute
who is not liable, and such per.-oiis thus fur
nishing a sub.-titute.-ball be exempt from the
draft not exceeding the time for w hich such
substitutes shall have, been accepted. Any
person drafte-Lnmy, before the time fixed for
his appearance fur duty at the rendezvous,
furnish an acceptable substitute. If any
d rafted person snail hereafter pay money for
the procuration of a substitute, such pay
ment shall operate only to relieve the per
son from draft on that call, and hisiiame
shall be letained on the roll and he shuil be
subject to draft in filling f uture quotas. Hut
in no instj'tce shad the exemption or' any
j)ee.--oit, on aermtnt of hi pay meat ofcom.au
totio.'t, money jar the procu ration cf , i- uo
ttifi'te, extend beyond one year ; but at the
end of o:ie year in every such case the name
of any person so exempted f hall be enrolled
again, if not before returned to the enroll
ment list under the provision of this secf ion.
The following persons are exempted from
enrollment and draft, viz : Such as are re
jected as physically or mentally un.hit for
service ; all persons actually in the military
or naval service of the UniteTd States at the
time of the draft; and all persons who have
served in the military or naval seivicc two
years d'irm.g the present war, and been hon
orably discharged. No persons but sueh as
are herein exempted .-hali he. exempt.
So miieh of the Enrollment .Vet as pro

No person of foreign birth shall on oc
couut of alienage In; exempted from enroll
ment or draft, who has at any time assumed
t he rights or" a citizen, by voting at any e
leetioh held under the authority of the laws
of any State or Territory, or of the United
States, or who lias held any office under
such laws, or any of them; but the fact that
such person of foreign birth ha-- voted or
held, or shall vote or hold office, shall be ta
ken as conclusive evidence that lie is not en
titled to exemption from military service on
account of alienage.
All ab!e-!o bed male colored persons be

resident in the United State, are to be en
