There is a snake we all should dread, It is the southern copperhead, • ' Its head is big, its heart is'blatk, In treacherous deeds it nothing lacks. 'lt's laid 'concealed for' maiii leave, And of this snake we've had our fens, And.when tho south commenced to rout This southern snake came crawling out. And now it creeps both high and low To see what mischief it can do, 'Ard if northern men would not be bit They must always watch for it. • Along our path it lays concealed, To bite the traveler in the heel, - It tikes him with' reat surprise, And when he lookaaroundit_flie It opens its treacheroUs Mouth To corrupt our armies in the south; Causing many to withdraw And die as rebels by our iaw. There is a king over this elan,. His name is spelled Vallandigham, His men are all a butternut hue, What he commands they all will do They all are of a aouthern_breed, Of old Jeff. Davis' cursed seed, Rebellion, treason is in their heart, South arid north they wish to part. In South 'Carolina they first were known, Their great grand-pap was John Calhoun— When Jackson saw his rebel head He struck ; and wished he'd killed him dead. But in his hole he crawled away And there lay coiled untillthe day That James Buchanan took his seat, He then crawled out at his feet. TIC • saw t sout. ern snit • e He kissed and coil:Jd him around his neck, And in his bosom let him sleep, And when he eat the snake did eat. If Buck had stamped him with his power, He would have killed this monster in an hour, Killed and destroyed that cursed nest, These States would now have been at rest. Buck loved this serpent as hie life, It's said he had no other wife, And from this snake raised up a clan That is now called Vallandignam. They have no rattles on their tails Scarce leave a mark in their trails, With secret signs they rawl along Sticking out their forked tongues. Beware ! beware! ye northern Staten. Kill and destroy - these - southern snakes This fall will be the very day These southern serpents a to slay. Ye Union men meet at the polls Where these snakes will show, their folds, tni in voles will. be the shot et and let them rot. To kill these ens As old Buck long ago has died Ills flesh has into venison dried. Around his neck these serpents' As victories o'er Vallandighant• May the great God protect our arms, Union victories for crown, Till in this free republic land A copperhead cannot be found. • -- • ALONE, HT REVS FRIENDS AROUND, In sorrow's darkest hOur, When all around is drear, I muse on days gone by And straightway flies despair; For those pare forms draw nigh Who once were by my side, Whose faith. and truth, and love In weal and' woe were tried; As blissful thoughts like these abound, Alone, yet always friends around.

Constibitional Rights So Mach has been said by the Copperheads in the press and before the people, that many Well-disposed .eitizens have wine to entertain the belief that the rebels are entitted , to eek: tale constitutional rightsand privileges,whieh are withheld from them by the Government of the United States. Now let us see bow the matter stands. What eonstitutiOnal rights can they claim? By rebelling against the Government they cast off its protection. They reject ite au thority in every thing Well concerns their political obligations and privileges. They repudiate its authority, and have• set up a new rule by will& they profess to be gov. erned. Upon their own theory they stand' excluded, from its purview. This they profess; , this. they openly de• olare, and they laugh to scorn the Mistaken sympathies and support of the Northern men with Southern principles, who disturb the atmosphere of loyalty with their echoes of treason. Then, upon the profession of the rebels, they are entitled to no rights under the Co nstitution, and it is unkind on the part of their Copperhead Mende to use in their behalf roundi of su .ort which they reject with am , sin. But aside from their own pretensions, why should they be treated differently from oth. er violators of the law ? We seek to bring them to an account for their misdeeds, and propose to give them a fair trial in pursuance of the principles . of justice. To this as of fenders they may be considered as entitled, but nothing, more. The thief has no just claim to the property he has stolen and car ried away, and the absurdity of allowing his pretensions to hold it in pursuance of his im aginary notions of equality, is not more ap parent than the idea of the Copperheads in attempting to invoke for traitors the sanction of the Constitution, which they continually spurn, for their crimes. It is clear that the rebels have forfeited their political rights. They are excluded by their own deliberate actions, from the ranks of good citizens, and until they lay down their arms and give up unconditionally their oppo sition to the Government, they must be re garded as outlaws beyond the pale of the Constitution and the. - ust sub'ects of sursuit and punishment by tho military and civil power of the country. The Election Our whole country is profoundly excited by, the approaching Presidential election, and few of either sex or of any age are not earn estly enlisted as partisans, and look with hope and fear to its politled results. It is, by the confession of all, a momentous issue which is involved, each party loudly asserting that the salvation of the country depends, on, their res pective success. We participate in the gen. eral anxiety. Muth, very much, must in strumentally depend on the direction which the November election may take. The na, tional weal is concerned,4et is it not to be feared that the great masses of the commu nity, carried away by the excitement, look more to themselves than to God, to secure a _happy result ? Who, retiring daily from the surrounded commotion,seeks his closet, and shutting the door to rh o outward din,*appeals to God, who holds the hearts of all men in his hand, to give a right direction to the con test at the polls ? While all are zealously at .work in strengthening their respective par. ties, do they suppose that the Supreme Rul er of nations is an unconcerned spectator, who is wholly regardless of the result ? Is it not by Him that the question is to be set tled in judgementlir in ? — if the great political patties into which the nation is di vided, instead of relying on their party or ganizations, and indulging in foregone con clusions, would submit the whole to the ar bitrament of God, they would act .more rea sonably and wisely. He has a purpose to tie_ complish, which, as yet, is inscrutable to us; and it is best to commit the whole to His disposal. Prayer, humble and fervent, can never be useless—and especially at a time like the present; and if it alter not the pur pose of God, it will, at least, have the happy effect of rendering us submissive. Now, then, is the time for prayer. Our beloved coun try is in a labyrinth of difficulties and dan gers, and, the Most High alone can bring us safely through. While the ungodly may scout at this, Christians may well be exhor ted to spend much of the interval in private supplications (bat God would move the hearts of voters to make a right selection of their candidates, and help to a happy decisinn".— Presbyterian.

The Moon and the Weather• Mr: Merkel- lately deceased, who proba bly watched the weather, and . made more ,close rind accurate observations with instru ments, for over thirty years, - than any 'man living, declares that in all his .experioace•he has never been able to perceive that the moon has the least influence upon the weath er. 'And yet what multitudes believe in this rank heresy I How they run to the al manacs to see when the moon is "new," when it "quarters," and when it is "full, and pre dict changes in the weather at these points. The fact is, the moon is new, or • quarter, or is hill, once a week the year round ; and in our variable eliinate, the weather changes often—abont.onoe ameek=---when it does not remain unaltered for weeks ; and so, if a change in the weather takes place anywhere near the change in the moon, she is the au thor of the change. I have -known educa ted men cling to this notion instilled into their childhood. I have known men who are careful not to plant,--especially beans, in the'.old of the moon. And I put it to my reader, who, as 1 hdire no doubt, is wise and well educated, and free trom all superstition, had you not a "leetle" rather see the new moon over the right shoulder than over the Fleft-?—Dork--yen-always,-think—ot—it—w hen you see the new moon? Can you tell why ? It is one of those old roots which time and Christianity hare not removed. So many had rather see a crow fly over the right shoulder, than over the left—a remnant of the old Roman notions and omens. The number and variety of superstition which still•linger and burrow in the world, like the remnant of the old Cananites whom Israel "could not drive out," is far larger than moat suppose. My wonder is, not . that there are so many roots of the old tree remaining, but that Christianity has done so much toward, removing them. I see no time when we Catty expect them all to be removed.—Dr. Todd. The Fading Leaf "We all do fade Sometimes all the the glory, all the gorgeous beauty of the year seems centered in the season of the fading leaf. Who has nut admired the beau ty of our late autumn landscapes? Hills and mountains are clothed in colored robes, whose tints rival God's bow of 'remise. The ver- du re and freshness of early spring, the shades of th sultry summer are forgotten in the richness of the autumn's coloring. The for mer seasons are beautiful, but the latter is more beautiful. Every forest and tree and shrub clothes itself for death in its richest gartuaTs apd every-fading leaf dies in a blaze of glory. • This is a beautiful emblem of Christian life, and the Christian death, The Chris tian life is beautiful, and as we look at one living such a life, we are apt to think that it is the highest possible earthly manifestation of heavenly beauty. Can anything surpass the Christian lire—a life with Christ—a life in God—a life of trust acid faith, of love and hope—a life sustained by promises and strengthened by trials and purified by Olio dons— can anything surpass the Christian life? Aye; a Christian death can surpass it. The beauties of living well are eclipsed by _the_beauties of dying well. As the dying believer goes down into the dark valley of the shadow of death with unshaken faith and unfaltering hope, as he steps down into the swelling waters, leaning upon the Beloved's arm, the terrors of death are almost forgot ten in the beauty and sublimity of dying.— Like the autumn tree the Christian is most beautiful as he fades. Like the setting sun the Christiap is most glorious as be sinks to -rest. The believer's best_hours are his last. "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let, my last end be like his." But herein we do not lade like a leaf.— We know when to eipect the coming of au tumn, with its 'biting frost'and its "sere and yellow leaf," but. we:know not when to ex pect the "coming of death. All days and months are alike to him. The old man of an hundred.years may die no sooner than the child of yesterday. : Death makes no discrim ination between different periods of life and different seasons of the year The Summer and the Autumn, the bleak Winter and the genial Spring are alike harvest seasons for the King of Terrors. . "Leaves hays their time to fall, , And flowers to wither at the North winds breath, And stars to set —Wu all Thou hest all seasons for thine own, 0 Death! We Itrow when worts shall 'kale,.

He then asked his grounds for makiit the appeal tion. "I .Was educated at Nest Point," said Grant, "at the country's expense. I served in Mexico, and when I Went out to Oregon I thought I had returned to the country an equivalent for my education so I resigned. The country is now in trouble, and I wish to serve her in her need." aovornor Yates had no ,aptointment for him, and be therefore left: A short time, after this occurrence, the Governor was very much, distressed in regard to the raising of the quota of the State. lie had plenty of: offers-for--officers positions,- but- he personaP ly did not know the minutia of regimental organizations—how many privates composed a company, or how many subordinate officers there should be in a , regiment. In his dis tress asked the representative if that plain little man to whom he had been introduced knew anything of these matters. The 'rep= resentative replied by bringing Grant into the Governor's presence. "Do you understand the organization of troops ?" inquired the Governor. The reply was . in the affirmative. "Will you accept a desk in my offiCe for that purpose?" was the next question. "Anythinc , to serve my country," was Grant's reply. And to work he at once went; and but for this, Grant might still be unknown to the world Billie energy, Illinois—became-no— ted fOr the speed with which she filled her quota.

'The Gov ernor refused to commission the nominee'ol the regiment, and asked• Grant if he thought he could bring the turbulent tunas to order if he were appointed colonel of the regiment. Grant thought ho could: Half an hour id-, terwards an, application was made to the Gov ernor to send a regiment to Quincy—one hundred and twenty miles distant—but the trouble with the Governor was not the want of men, but the lack of transportation. l'Send my regiment," said Grant, 'and I will soon find transportation." The command was given, and before night the regiment, was under orders to march.— On foot the regiment was transported to Quincy, and when the men were encamped they were reported as belonging to one of the bast disciplined regiments of Illinois volun teers. • A Romance of the War. The Memphis Aigus tells the following story: • "We learn from a gentleman lately from Morganzia. Lbuisiana, that there is now on trial at that place, by court martial, a young officer, attached.as adjutant to a New York regiment, charged with attempting to, betray his men into an ambuscade. It seems that• the unfbrtunate young man became, enamor ed of a young lady, the daughter of a weal thy planter, residing not. far from ,the coast, and that, desiring to mike her his wife, he proposed and was accepted, on condition that he would betray his command to a Confeder ate force to be conveniently ambushed. In an ill starred moment he accepted the propo sition. Accordingly plans were laid, and the commander of the Confederate forces near was communicated with. A proper pretext given, on the day appointed the whole force at Morgansia was marched up in search of the enemy, who, it had been ascertained had been depredating upon the neighboring plantations.,, Before they had gone far the commanding, from the awkwardness of the 'traitor, suspecting that all was ,not right, halted the column and posting pick eta securely, immediately commenced . an in vestigation, which resulted 'in the confession of a sergeant 4 one , of the , companies who had 'been intrusted 'with the sects," by the adjutant. The Colonel thereupon, marched his men back to' quarters and promptly or dered a court martial for 'the officer, who there 'is little - doubt, will bo convicted. - If this does not-smack off,the romance ,of war, nothing that 'we hays ,beard ,of in, the past four yeats can be so accounted,. , .4 , 1 patina down East intends applying for a patent•for a machine ,which he says, when wound up pnd set in motion, will ohaseu hog over a tea-acre lot, catch, yoke and ring him; or by a slightuhange in the gearing, it will chop hinr into. sausage meat, work his brist les-into shoe•brushes, and manufactum his tail into a soric-screw. • Fender', standing by the eolfin-of one he most tenderly hured, and for whom he would , most cheerfully have died a - thousand deaths, 'cried; l b ere be lies, and all my . . wprldly h'app . taass, lies dead pith 'him ? , Itlit tbe turning of, st,raw ,Wonld ad!, -him, back, •to life,: I wunlci .

What the Copperheads Have Done They have embarrassed the national gov ernment at every step in the progress 'of the pending war.' They have sympathised with the enemy arrayed in arms against - us, and seek the ruin of the Republic and the humiliation of the free States. They have defended . the conduct of the rebellious States, and charged the responsi , . 'hility of the war wholly upon the atiti-sla-' very sentiment of the North. 1 They_htive opposed every effort of-the_ackv, ernuient to procure ' reinforcements for the army, fomenting popular disturbances to ar rest the draft, and leading the people' to be lieve that if they enlisted it would, only be to aid in an abolition war, ,conducted by blun-, dering and inootnpetent generals, and an e- . qually untrustworthy War Department' They have augmented , the national.debt by artfully depreciating tke, national curren cy, so that the governmentlas been Obliged to pay nearly three times as much for its sup plies as there was any occasion for. They have increased the burdens of the people by the 'setae process; in eider te inake the war unpopular; and thus compel aft ig- , noble peace.
