ONE OCTsPoKLN CoPPERHEAD.
There is at least one frank
man in the Democratic ranks of
Michigan. At the Democratic
meeting at Grand Rapids, called
to nouilnute candidates for city
officers, Ira Hatch was Chair
man, and after being called upon
for a speech, the Grand Rapids
Eagle says he responded as fol-
lows:
"Gentlemen, | am in favor of
Slavery in Michigan-that's my
platform"

WRESTLING IN A GRAVEYARD.

The following is the would-be
facetious "Market Reports" OF
the "Southern Contederacy''
(Atlanta,) of the 18th inst. 1t
seems like hideous grin from a
deaths head:
"The latter part of the week
was dry, cool and bracing;
trade has been unusually active.
Sugars, as we predicted, have
advanced enormously-from Is
to 2Oc per pound above our last
quotations. Negroes are in great
demand. Tobacco advances
steadily. Coffee scarce. Corn
carce-s2 5Oper bushel. Flour,
none; seizures have run it all out
OF market. Fresh pork 60 cents
per pound; bacon so cents.

TIE CONSUMPTION.

The following Is believed to
be something like the program
me marked out in reference to
the coming draft:
lst. To return all absentees ami de.
serters.
%. A draft will be made first in those
States and districts which have fai.ed TO
furnish their quota under the calls
heretofore made.
ID. Such of the States as have furnished
more than their proportion of the volun-
teers heretofore called for, will be credit
cd for such excess. and no draft will
probably be ordered in such States until
the numbers Of the troops furnished by
the several States shall have been equal
lied by drafts in those States which are
behind.
