The fate OF the body Of John Copeland one Of the Har

the most earnest efforts to secure his body for Christian
burial, but without effect Gov Wise was teeguphed by

for answer that the body would be delivered by Gen.

ghphed gentleman at Washington, asking whether he
would 90 to Charestown and that the body placed
In chargeot the Express Company get TO go.

the servces OF the correspondent of Of the strongest
pro-savety papers IN Kentucky This correspondent who
Is Souiherntr and strongly pro-savery In sentiment
was furnished with the order from the gentleman In ques
ton and also with letter from the Hon. Mr. Boteer who
represents the Charestown district which furnished
~ the request OF tho Hon. II. Blake. On his arrival In
Chacsown he was ushered into the presence of Tai
aerro but on presenting his letters put under
rest and Kept for DefUc hours when he was permitted
return to Washington. The next morning the papers
stated that the body OF Copeland was would be given
to the surgeons.
The special correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazsts
who present at the execution Of Green and Copennd
says "They allowed TO remain In the ground but
few moments when they taken up and conveyed 10

From this showing, il that the very reasonable

Gas in Prospect.

Mr.. Stephenson gentleman of Mans
field, who has had much experience in put
ting up gas works, has made proposition
to the Council of Fremont, which if they
see fit to accept, he will early in the Spring
proceed to put up the necessary buildings,
ETC., for the manufacture and supply of gas
for our town. The subject was brought
before the Council on Tuesday evening last,
and committee consisting of S. Buekland,
J. R. Bartlett and VIM. N. Morgan were
appointed to examine the matter and report
to the Council at subsequent meeting
The proposition of Mr.. Stephenson is a
very favorable one, and we have no doubt
it will be accepted, and that in less than
twelve months Fremont can be lighted up
with gas. So mote it be.

The Union Cure.

The Union meeting panacea, we fear, Is
not efficacious, at least not in all cases.
Hear what the Virginia Inder says on the
matter:
"Public meetings, like those at Philadel-
phia and Boston, do very well to ventilate
the fossil remains of a defunct conserva-
tism, and to beguile the fearful and timid
at the South into false security-but they
are the pageants of an hour, the mere
twitchings Of galvanized corpse.
The whole northern mind, conservatives
and all, is debauched and abolitionized-
they differ only in degree! Levi Lincoln,
Esq, who presided at the Boston meeting,
could not refrain, even upon that occasion,
from larding his otherwise patriotic speech
with his declarations of his love of freedom
and dislike to slavery. He knew to whom
he was addressing himself, and he could
not hold in.
The cities of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, want our trade, for it is their life
blood, the breath of their nostrils, and with.
out it they will die. Let them not have a
dollars worth of it. Which of these
States is 1t that has not permitted Its mobs
to deprive us of our property Which Of
them is it whose citizens have not stolen
and run off our slaves? Where have their
conservatives been forthe last twenty years
Why did they not speak out before we com
menced arming! Asleep; dead to all care
for us, our rights, our interest, our peace,
our safety What has walked them up now,
and caused their skeleton forms to expose
themselves to the public gaze? Love for
us? No but the fear of losing our trade,
and consequently the ruin of their country,
the fear of the hush of the buzz of their
spindles, and that the jolly 'heave-ho' oI
their sailors will die into an echo.
We arc tired of the whole Yankee ma
ton, with their nasal twaDg, their hypocri.
sy, their canting, praying and cheating,
preaching and swindling, lying and steal
ing, and creeping about the South with
maps and books as mean aud false as the
makers and authors"
On this an eastern paper remarks with
great eloquence:

Important 10 township Trustees.

We learn from the Bellefontaine (Ohio)
Republican of the 18th inst, that in a case
tried at the present term of the Court of
Common Pleas, for Logan County, Judge
Lawrence presiding) the following points
were decided, viz:
l. Where tribunal Board composed Of three more
persons by statute TO do any public act II
is necessary upon general law pnciples that all
should be present. and then the act Oft majority the
act Of all.
H. Under the statute which declares that ga majority
the three township trustees authorized BY law shall be
quorum do business at all meetings Of the trustees
majority may act as we'll at special as at regular.
III But In order TO render the acts Of Too trustees valid
special meeting all must have reasonable notice of It,
The law Kes the time and place of regular meetings and
notice is therefore, not necessary at such meetings as to
business authorized at them
w. Neither two all ofthe township trustees acting
ssparafey by thus eoneurng in act do anything
officially valid They only act officially at meeting,
both upon law principles and by force OF statute
v. In an action Justice'b bond, petition which
ayers that the township trustees such approved

Change OF Sentiment In washington.
The Washington letter of the ! sth to the
Chicago Press shows how "things is work
ing" under the reign Of the disunion bus-
terers in both wings of the Capitol. The
people there begin to realize that marble
and lots will be cheap iu the Federal city,
should the Democrats become traitors to
the Union in fact as they already are in
words. We quote:
81 have noticed that the galleries have
almost ceased applauding disunion speeches,
Kissing has taken the place of plaudts.--
The citizens residing here are becoming un-
easy at the existing state of things. Cur.
rency is scarce; threats of disunion are plen-
ty, and the people of the District begin to
realize the awful consequences to them
Of a disruption of the Union. There were
very few Sherman men living here three
weeks ago; but now the town is full oI
them. This change of public sentiment
can be felt in the very atmosphere. An
old citizen of Washington said to me the
other day, that if the Republicans elected
their President next year, when they came
here to inaugurate him, they would scarcely
| find a resident or property holder in the
District, without Republican badge on his
coat. "Why, sir" said he, "half the Vir
ginia clerks in the Departments will swear
by all that is good, that they have beer
Republicans in principle, for six years, and
and some of them all their lives, and an
not sure but that many of them would be
telling the truth" Another old settler as
sured me that a very large majority of the
permanent residents who are Americans in
politics, sincerely desire the success of the
Republican party next year. They were
old Clay Wings, in former days; and they
hate the ultraism of the Democratic party
They regard the Republicans as altogether
more "nationa" and conservative in theil
purposes and principles, than the fire eaters
who control the Administration, and who
seem intent upon rushing the nation upon
destruction. Depend upon it, there will be
large Republican party in this District
whenever there is Republican administra.
ton in power behind which they eau take
shelter from the assaults and prosecutions
of the fre-eaters. And this spread of Re.
publicanism will not be confined to Wash
ington city. Baltimore and the State Of
Maryland are ripe for a similar develop
ment of sentiment. Should the Demo-
acrats undertake to dissolve the Union in the
fevent of the election of Republican Pres
ident, it will be the signal for tho Ameri-
can party to Join hands with the Republi-
cans of the North and strike the traitors
down. Virginia will not be a unit on the
side of the nuIlifiers in such a crisis. The
real sentiments of majority of her white
people are sadly misrepresented on thehoors
of Congress-
