injprotnptu affair the preliminaries, of its
holding having only been arranged the
day prior j st'll at an early hour the room
' 1 was crowded to its fullest capacity with a
; 2xatriotic and intelligent auditory, who

"'whether it take the form of overt acta of

iraMed out He responded in a few words,
giving bis views, which wre rather un
ftvorable than otherwise, of Copperheads.
IJe told the forked-tongucd gentry, plump
ly and priuly,"that they were despised by
.-- the soldiers, who preferred an open foe in
front to sneaking, cowardly cowboys in
the rear. Their days wwre numbered, for
ao ooo as the boys" returned victori
ous from the field, domestic Traitor of
Vvy grade and hue would quietly be
consigned to political infamy the depth
and blackuess"whereof there is no know
ing. " As the views of a soldier who has
proven his loyalty on many a bloody field,
this speech was certainly entitled to and
received due consideration: . .
A letter from J. O.' Milf.s, Esq., of;

expreed his regret t hia inability to be

whereupon, after nine cheers for tho
Union, the Constitution, and theEnforce
ment of the Laws, the meeting adjourned,
, Everything wis conducted 'with' the
utmost detorum, and nothing occurred to
disturb in the least the harmony of the
deliberations.' Wp thipk'we. never ?aw a
better or more "enthusiastic assemblage,
eonvened inside tho county. The old
men and the young men Democrats as
well ar Rcpublicans wcre-out in their
strength, determined to demonstrate to
the world that the . Governmout under
which they Ita ve have lived and prospcjjp.d f6
long as a nation is & Oovefnment which
yet commands their fealty and the warm

most signal rjjbuke to sectionalism and i
Copperheadism a sure indication that"
the People are beginning to awake to
realization of the true magnitude of the
evils by which the country is threatened

Democratic organiiationT .

Copperhead SenUuienti. ,
We have heretofore given occasional
extracts from the samples of conservative
loyalty published in many of the leading
opposition papers cf the State, but, as an
open violation of United States, law, the
lollowing "gem,", from the Johnstown
Democrat, exceeds in boldness anything
yet attempted by its disloyal compeers :
"'For God's take, JJoy,Jaist the Draft."
We are informed that as the cars,
containing soldiers intended for service in
the,. West, passed along the road at this
place, the men cried oitf to people along
the W8y 'For God's' sake, boys, resist
the draft!'; We have no doubt of the
truth of the information, for we firmly
believe that there are hundredi of thou
sands An the anny who would give the
dame advice . to their ' friends at home. -
They do so, lt, because the conscription
act: is uuconsUtutional and tyrannical;
and; 2d, because they arc growing tired
of a war waged fur- negroes, barren , of
results in re efctablUhing the Union, and
fraught otnly ' with destruction of life
waste of treasure, and beggary and misery
to thousands of widows and orphans."
The statement that the troops. passing
westward-over the Pennsylvania railroad
made use of the expressions attributed to
them, we believe to be a shameful falser
hood, knowingly repeated by the Demo
crat for the purpose of instigating resis
tance to the enforcement of thcilaws of
ths UpHed States. Is there not in Cam
bria a goTcmmect-officer, ' competent
to, take coguizance of such a flagrant
offence? It U high iinio that such
unblushing treason aitould be checked by
the eonrts. The ; solo object of such an
article as lhaf above quoted is to injure,
ps far as possible, the government against
whose enactments iL is directed.' Tliufy
is asserted that the gallant men who have
been engaged for a year and a half in an
attempt to Xippfess the 'rebellion, have,
counselled resistance to the law's by which
their ranks are to bo recruited and their
term of service shortened, it possible; yet
it is a well known fact that the troops in
the field' have always been clamorous for
the enforcement of the laws referred to 1
It is asserted that a law passed by a con
stitutional majority of Congress, examined
by the Attorney General and approved by
the President, ia "unconstitutional and
tyrannical," and this falsehood will be
repeated, in every conceivable shape, to
poison the minds $i the ; people and ptir
up the elements of revolt, so long a the
government suffers the author to do so
with impunity. The repetition of th8
stale slang of a war for the negro," is
dimply an absurdity, but when the
Johnstown Demot rat asserts that tbe
war for. the prrpetaify. of the! Union
-a war iu which every free and loyal
man in the , North has a heart-felt in
terest is a content .'fraught only with
destruction of life, waste of treasure, and
beggary and misery to thousands of wid
ows and orphans'' that paper perpetrates
a malicious ialsehood for which it should
be held roponiblev Too much has been
ventured in this contest -the people have
shown their love for the .Union by ; the
sacrifice of too much blood and treasure
to permit such shameles attempts in our
midst to destroy every advantage gained
by that paerifioe.: ' That this causeless and
wicked rebellion has brought upon the
North a dreadful measure of grief and
misery is but too true, but the aim of
su"ch articles aa that quoted i simply to
protract and increase these evils until the
people of the North arc forced to yield
every principle for which they have con
tended at suco a fearful cost. - ;

The officers of Jtfie law have; brought
to light a.' conspiracy iu the.couaty of
Berks, the avowed ) object f.whic!i i?: tf
cause the overthrow of .rfe! United States.
When we read tlie narrative of. the affair,'
it was with; a .hope that the-. evidence
would relieve us from the terrible impres
sia that it conteyed, but no one can read
the plain and circumstantial account of
Mr. Lyon without alarm and mortification.
We are. introduced to "an organization
which, meets .in . barns, witbsigns, pass
words, and "grinf: evidently acting in
communication with - 'a; higher power,
professiug to have associations in aU parts
of the countrJ apd having for its avowed
object the abduction of the President,
armed resistance to thpJaw, andothe
overthrow of .the ' Gc(3mcnt. .It ;is
possible that 3Ir, Lyon exaggerates some
portions of his narrative, or. places too
much importance upon trivial occurrence.01,
but there is a sad -and wretched truth
running through his story that gives us
sorrow, and from which we cannot escape,
He describes a meeting that .to&k place on
the 21st of March, ISG3, in a hrirn of
Jacob Zellar, in Marion township Berks
county, r 13y those mysterious agencies
known to the profession, Mr. Lyon had
ootaincd knowledge of the meeting and
secreted himself under the straw. . Ia the
course of .tho' evening, a hundred men
assembled, : The barn was first searched,
and pickets thrown out to prevent discov
ery or surprise. . A Mr. lluber, who is in
custody, led the conversation. According
to 'Mr..; Lyon, . who- was his concealed
listener, ;he denounced the war as unholy
and unjust; he said that the society was
a iuilHou strong ; he stated that it was
first organized in thje South ;; that tho
societj hud signs, passwords; and grips ;"
and then we Jtarn jthat Ue administered
the obligation, and that eighty-three
members joined during that evening.'
.It is possible for a hundred men to
meet together in a barn without incurring
any particular amount of guilt. . It might
be excused under the theory of -it-i being
a Democratic mass meeting, for such
meetings have a suggestive similarity to
the. assembly in the barn. But we- find
the evidences of treasonable conspiracy
too plain to be, explained away. ;The
pickets," the precautions, the grips, .the
obligations swoin upon ; the Evangelists,
.are all evidences of conspiracy ar.(T guilt.
Then we have the atrocious creed, which
binds them together. They declare the&r
selves to he in favor of "the abductiba of
Abraham Lincoln by force, jfneeessary f
"of a Northwestern Confederacy ;. the
resistance of the draft or the Conscription
Act." Thee arc the fundamental prip
ciple . of the organization. The ?:-main
object seems to be the rssistance of the
drafts - They would try the constitution
ality of the conscriptiou acfand,-fuilintr
in thatf use force. This h the, practical
part of. the whole conspiracy, and we hear
in the barn of Mr. Zc-Har .nothing, more
than the echo of more celebrated oracle;
This phraso about testing, the constitu
tionality "of the conscription act, aui fail
ing before the courts, is fiuiliar to us
from mcnmore powerful than Mr.:Itui'tr
or his associates,. rmd we- dwell upon it
as- ai evidence of the sympathy ; that
unites the enemies of the country against
the Administration- This arrest - is a
paioful thing to u as Pennfylyanians,
but it is a warning to us ai Americans.
W have so often warned and implored
the people we have so frequently exposed
the "danger and begged them to prepare
we have so often shown the - criminality
and treachery of these men, that any
further reference to it becomes the weary
repetition of a twice-told t.Ie. ; Thismorn
ing we give the facts: Citizen, the time
has oomrf to mark these enemies of the
country,' who Imeet in bnrns'and hidden
places to counsel anarchy and rebellion."
This spirit orime is not confined to the
barn in Uerks county. It ascends into
loftier places, controls council chambers,
and drags justice from many an executive
chair. It nbw creeps "into eccret halls,
and .deliberares like pirates in a cave, or
assassins in an ambush. Mr. lluber may
have made a mistake when he spoke of a
million of men joined in his -mysterious
organization, or'the word may have been
the encouragement of a leader to his par
tisnns. .'Dt "the defiance ho manifested,
and the success he obtained, show that he
is the representative, .or the instrument,
of a raiahtier organization. That organ
ization roust be overthrown before we can
contemplato peace and triuph.; Let us
take a warning from the developments -of
this morning, and do onr part iu this just

Flaiuheau arrived here this ."afternoon,
with Lieut. Commander Ithind, as bearer
of despatches from Admiral Duoont t j the
Govern merit.
. .The. reports , from sfveral eounmandori
had notbetn recicici up 'to the tithe of
the departure of the? Flambeau, ' namelyj
Wednesday uight. From other than oS
ial sources it Is ascertained, that the
ve?seli composing the fleet advanced upon
Cfrarkton on the 4th, in the -JjiJowHig
order : Wechawkeo,Captaiu Jrhu Iioug
ers ; Passaic. Capt Iraytcn ; Montauk,
Capt. Worden ; Putapsco, Cipv.-Arameo. ;
IronsiJW, thC Tlag Ship, Com. Turner,
with Admiral Pupoat anu his Staff-on
board. Next; followed the Oatskiil, Capt.
Jo!urRodgefs ; Nantucket, Capt. Fairfax;
N ah ant, Capt. Dowii3 ; Keolruk, Capt.
Rhind. ; In this order they proceeded up
the main channel.'. -
Arriving within seventeen dinndred
yards of the main forts, the Ironsides be
came unmanageable, owing to the tide
and tho narrowness of channel, and she
was therefore obliged, to drop anchor to
prevent drifting ashore. Owing to these
circumotanccs she signalled her consorts
to disregard her motions. .
The remainder of tbe squidron then
contained ; on its cmrse aud soon came
within range of rebel fires from all points.
The obstruction of the channel from
Ft. Sumter to Ft. Moultrie interfered with
the progress of our ships. . In consequence
of this, and the position of tho Ironside?,
as above stated, the plan of operations or
battle was deranged, and tho space for
maneuvering being only from five hundred
to one thousand yards, the vessels were
obliged . to; prepare, and at onceengaged
the forts and tho adjacent batteries. , .
The signal had heeu made for action at
half past three o'clock in the arternoon
by the Ironsides, but the rebels' had
previously opened fire upon the leading
vessels. .; V; ,. .,--The
contest is represented as in. the
highest degreo exciting, presenting a
tearfi4 scene of fire belching from all
poinls on water and land a continuous
roar of cannon. "In the conrse of three or
fou minntcs the Keokuk was in arinking
condition, and was obliged to withdraw
from tlie fire and peek an anchorage below
the range of the enemy's guns, and a few
minutes afterwards , all the vessels with
drew, from a signal of the flag ship, it
being deemed impractible to continue any
further hostilities. .-, , ...
, Tho Keokuk was within 500 or. C00
yards? of Fort Sumter, and was completely
riddled. - She was struck from all the bat
teries within range at least, ninety times
in thirty minutes.,. The Bhot wa from
rifled cannon and of ther heaviest calibre.
. ; Capt. Rhind, heT commander, received
a contusion on the leg from a flying frag,
ment of his vessel, which only . slightly
lamed. him. Twelve men were wounded,
together with Acting Surgeon M'Intosh,
wholiad charge of one of t ha gone. . Tha
injuries are mppocd to be fatal.
- The next morning, finding it impiihlo
to save the vessel, Capt. Rhind. called a
tug, which took all his men on beard. A'
few minutes thereafter the Keokuk "sunk.
The persons be'ongiug to the ship lost all
their privnte effects. ' ' .-, , 1
On Wednesday the Squadron remained
at anchor in the main ship channel. It
! is said the number .of .men in o;:r fleet
was only about eleven hundred, with thir
ty guns, while the enemy had, it is e up
posed, at least three hundred guns, the
best in the world.
The injuries to the vessels, excluding
the Keokuk, are represented to be of such
a character as will require but a- hort
time for repairs. The casuslities loug
our 'men were remarkably few, including
one killed aud three wounded ou the Na

The "testimony and documentary evidence
upnu' which this report i3 baed i cx
tiemely voluhiinous, and will not be ready
for publication for seme time, but the
document . before us covcra the eniire
ground. The "labors of the Committee
were chiefly directed to an investigation
of the management of the Army of the
PotoiuSc, and a discussion of the C'-iucs of
the comparOve failure lo fichisve the
results anticipated, and from this investi
gation the committee deduces epiuiens by
no means flattering to the Commanding
General. There" hasbeeu no opportunity,
as yet, for an elaborate discufeion of the
reportbut its chitf deductions have been
generally commented on by the Eastern
press. The only objection urged, as yet,
to the report is the alleged evidence -f a
prejudice in the 'minus of the Committee
agcinit General M'CIellau,' and an appa
rent desire to present fac bearing against
him iii their most unfavorable liht
Taking it for granted that the committee
haye exhibited such a dispotitum as that
alleged, it uiust.be borne io .mind that the
friendi of 'ATCIeiian have incessantly
arsailed. the coiiirnittte,.- impiigned its
uiotivcs, derided its investigations-and. as
fur as possible, impeded -iti opncrtlons.

Alas lor Poland ! ,
It is to he feared, says the'Vm,' that
the insurrection iri l'oiand hai-ended in
failure and defeat. Kvery'thing appeared
to be favorable. It w?.f certain, that 'the
Russians had teen defeated in -neveral
serious engagement.! The peasantry had
sidt-d with the cobles in this war of liber--ation.
It was reported tliat the Czar had
sent special messengers to Lansicwicr,
the Dictator, ofT'-riug; favorable terms, on
coudition that, tho ' contest should cease,
aud that these oilers had been rejected.
Next, and finally, comes the statement
that Langiewicz was confined iu'thc lart
res9 of Cracow, which means, we suppose,
that he had becu defeated and Ladhouht
safety in 'flight. Cracow is now possessed
by -ria, and therefore there need not
be Srtty ' apprehension for the patriot's
personal safety. The 'Emperor Frauds
Joseph is not the man,' we are sure,
to- betray thb pallet refugee who has
thrown himself "ou the, hospitality ol
'Austria. The kin? of Prussia, no. doubt,
would not scruple" to deliver Langiewicz
up to the tender mercies of the Czar.
There is a hope,' though remotely, that
the war ended, the Czar will r:nt free
institutions to Poland. We coniW that
this is more than can be 'reasonably expec
ted from Russian impolicy. ' ' '
