TEE "COpperheads" of the Abolition Repub-
licAn party talk about "War for Freedom"
They mean not war to enlarge the freedom Ct
white men-thas they are willing to see cur
tailed bus war for the freedom of negroes
They declare the Union cannot be saved unless
the negroes are freed, and denouDoe all who do
not believe that the negro should be made the
savior of the American Republic, as "sympa-
thizers with secession" and ORATORS"
These vile Abolition "COpperheads" would
disuember the Union for the sake Of the me-
gro, under the pretense that it cannot be kept
together unless "Cuifee" is made free. This
shows that they have predetermined that the
thirty.four States shall not be reunited 10 one
Republic, or IL reunited, shall not remain one
great Republic as heretofore, unless their con-
dition of negro-freedom is complied with.
The people will yet "scOtch" these low creep
ing bypocritical f" Copperheads" so severely
that their fADgs will be rendered perfectly harm
less.

Conrlasra.ionsl In Russia.

Fires on an extensive scale have recently oc-
cured In ST.. Petersburg and nearly all the
"forest" towns of the Russian empire In 81.
Petersburg, the buildings of the Bank, the
Ministry OF the Interior, the Ministry of En-
lightmeDt (EiucatiOD), the Corp des Pages, a
neisbboring palace, with dozens Of private res
licences, splendid maLsions. shops and markets,
are reduced to ashes Flying sheets are found
In the streets, intmsting the locality which
shall next be devoted to the flames, and the
promise is faithfully kept. While the military
are called out to aid in saving one section u
the city, the flames are seen to burst out In
another, and thus the work Of destruction goes
on.
It is said that these fires proceed from an e1-
tensively organized band, and that, notwith-
standing the rigorous me tsures Of the authori-
ties, the parties moving behind the scenes are
% vigorous as ever, and fear and confusion al
widely spread and on the increase. IL is sur.
mi4ed that these cobf Igrations are caused " a
secret revolutionary party, to whom the recent
liberation Of the serfs has given q stimulus,
and who have adopted this barbarous course as
9 warning to the Emperor Of the changes that
must be made in the. government of the Russian
people.
