E The coprerhead organ at Springfield
undertakes to prove that'its Southern rebel
brethren arc not traitors: "If. they IRE
traitors" it says, there is but one punish.
ment for thcm-thnt Of DEATH mo other
punishment can be inflicted ;Conse-
quently, as ticy are not all hung as Fast as
captured, they are not traitors, and there

TE1E NEW 1IONITORS.
Thcir Sca-going Qualities, Etc.

From the Now York Herald, 5th.1
Not being needed for any suck business as
their progenitor," there was no necessity for
making sea-going requirements secondary to
mere lighting efficiency: The great point Of
their similarity bcsfdcs belligerent attributes,
the Monitor, both the old and new vessels are
perfect lifeboats at sen, which possibly cannot
founder. The chief points OF difference be-
tween the Monitor and her SUCCESSORS are {:
First, TUG Monitor had q dead INT bottom,
with sides sloping ata angle Of eighty degrees
to the vertical line.
Tho new Monitors lmve m ordinary midship
sectlon,. and IN ordinary rise Of flow, and .
round bilgc. They possess what ship build.
ers term " n very cnsy .ntdshlp body"
Second The turrcts In the new Monitors
arc supported OIL four bulkhcads, two traus-
verse mid two longitudinal oucs, ycry heavily
braccd with whnt nrc called "angle bars.'
Ia much moro arnly supported than IN tho
original, where It is Kept up only by u single
bu1khend, running across tic vessel.
Third-Tho oycrhang at the stern Of tho old
Monltor WAS also much grcntcr than In the
new veesels. The inter, therefore, arc sub
jsct to fur less strain in sen way than their
famous, predecessor.
Fourth-The distinguishing point Of differ
ence between the two classes Of vessels, how.
ever, IL the impregnab1e chimney Of the new
ones, which can neither be effected by sca
or shot, which tho original one did not hayc.
Flfth-Tho fresh mir for supplying the boil
ers and for yentilating purposes Is taken in
through the top Of the turrst in the now slips,
instead Of belng drawn through mir trunks, as
in the dlrelfct Monitor, which are extremely
liable to be carried away In a seaTay.
These changes were introduced by Capt.
Ericsson in Consequence Of the difficulty ex-
perienccd during the first trip OF the Monitor,
and but for these difficulties the improve
ments would not hare been mndc.

If these fellows at 6pringfeld-we mean
Richardson s. Co., candidates for the Sen.
ate-are doing anything more, in their
threats against the Government and the
Union, than making bids for the support Of
Egypt, it is about time that the people
hereaway were beginning to oil the locks Of
their shot-guns, because, if the copperheads
are in earnest and have any backing, the
time is not far off when shooting will be
the order Of the day. We take it that the
people Of Illinois have no occasion to up
peal to any regiments now in the field to
defend our 6tate Government against the
attacks Of traitors; and though call for
len Thousand troops would unques-
tionably be promptly answered by
the President, We should be ashamed
to confess that the spirit Of our State is SO
humbled and abased, that outside aid is
needed for holding Illinois to its allegiance
to the Union. Hence we declare that, it is
about time, if these men mean what they
say, to get our frelocks ready for service,
for no man can tell when they will be
needed. Certainly the plotters cannot ex-
pect to consummate their purpose quietly
aud peaceably.' If they are not wholly
crazed they must look for resistance to
what their speeches foreshadow; and "o
assume, if they are halfwitted, that .pey
are prepared for what they seem an1'ous
to provoke. The coppcrhcaos neeo
mt sav. If. they adhere to and give
form to what they have indicated, that the
National Government will be obliged to
succumb, OF that the plotters against it will
be driven South to their friends, for whom
they arc working. We know what the re-
suit will be, and we are sorry for it. Ne
had hoped that nc Of the North might, if
not unanimous in support Of the war, re-
frain from violence and bloodshed among
ourselves; but II any men among US arc
so far forgctful Of their allegiance to the
country as to hazard tho commission of
trcason for the sake Of those who arc' III
rebellion against tie Constitution and the
laws, upon their heads be the consequences.
We still hope that much Of the talk that
We hear reported, is for buncombo; that It
has lis origin in the sharp competition for
TINT seat in the Senate for which half o.
dozen nre contcnding; and that, when tho
prize is awarded, VIC shnll hear no moro.
But We havc little time to wait for full
declaration Of the purposes tlat the malig-
unnts entertain. We shull sec what they

retary Floyd, In June, 1857, Of Fort Smelling,
together with 5000 acres Of land, to Franklin
Steele (aud others. whose names do not ap-

but Franklin is in possession, and has been in

last evening with q portion Of the 18th ILL
nois regiment on board, Col Lawler, late
prisoners ut Vicksburg. The steamer brought
no later news from that interesting point
than hare already forwarded to you. The
boys Of the 18th appear to be in their; usual
good spirits, though they do not much seem
to relish the idea Of having to rest under pa
role while their brothers in arms are fighting
the battles Of their country. This regiment
has been d long time iu the service, and the
captiyes can well atford to rest few days, if
any soldiers can. They hare passed up within

were to be taken from jackson to Columbus,

in the treatment Of their latc slavcs. Every
