beat within the breast of man. We know
that all the citizens Of Whartensburgh are
not members Of an organization-the OBJ
1ject Of which, though coaked in the garb
lcf UIiionisn,, is to resist the Government
Fin lis herculian efforts to crush this wick
ed rebellion We Believe those who have
kept without the pale Of this organization,
have done so from an ihate feeling thai
'tintimes like the present, secret orgsniza-
tons can bode no good to the country,
and wehope and trust they, and such as
they, will root out this Limit Order" Or
1ganizatiotlirom their midst. They can
rest assured they'll receive the hearty
thanks Of the Whartensburg volunteers
for SO doing
Every volunteer who now bears arms
in support of the Government, would fail
the extinction of any such thing, with de-
light. They who have gone forth at their
country's call, to uphold the cause Of the
Union, expected better things Of those
whorl they left at home. They went
cheerfully and willingly, conscious OF the
great and vital principles for which they
were to struggle. Conscious, also, of the
ruin, misery and suffering, dissolution
Of this Union would entsil upon mankind
in general, they felt proud of the position
they occupied in the ranks of the Union
army, with all its great responsibilities,
and with the assistance Of an overruling
Providence, they expected to administer
such stern rebuke to the traitors who
have arisen in arms against their country,
as would be warning to all future tral-
tols.
They expect to accomplish this with
the hearty cy-operation OF their friends at
home, for without it they would deem it
useless expenditure Of life and tressuse,
to struggle Tor the overthrow Of their mer
ciless enemies, who would be encouraged
to renewed Efforts at the signs Of discon-
tent and dissatisfaction, favorable to their
cause pervading the once free and loyal
North.
We tell you and your readers, Mr.. Ed
itor, if these Copperhesds and Secession
sympsthizers of the North are not silence
ed-if they are allowed to sow their trea-
son broadcast throughout this fair land,
we might rs well chang up our fiddle"
and submit quietly and peacefully to the
Southern despotism of jeff Davis u Co.
1t is discoursying and disheartening to
the soldiers in the field, when viewing
the state of affairs at home at the present
time. Possessing moderate degree Of
intelligence, fhey are aware that revo-
luton Of feeling in the North contrary to
that upon the eve of the rebellion, would
add moro force of at least one or two
hundred thousand men to the rebels, and
would tend to weaken the same in ratio.
But then, despite this, there is telling OF
stern determination pervading the ranks
Of the Union army. 1t the government
vii meet out justice to the despicable,
cowardly traitors at home, to crush trea-
son wherever it rears its horrid head
even if it be at the sacrifice of every earth
ly consideration Their love for their
dear old flag aud country, borders on fan
sticism, ane rather than witness the hu-
milistion Of this great nation to the slave
oligarchy of the South. They would
spill the last drop of their hearts best
blood in maintaining its honor. We tell
you, Mr.. Editor, this teelingis pervsding
the army to great extent, and if our
friends will only scquit themselves Of the
great and responsible duties devolying up
on them at home, with the righteous de-
termination to succeed in their great un
dertaking The saccess OF the army in
the field, will be beyond their most SAN
guine expectations. s5
Thess secret organizations which are so
much in vogue among the enemies Of the
Government in the North resorted as n
more support Of the Constitution, as it is
and the Union as it was--so the Copper
heads will tell you, as il there wasn't in
telGgence enough in the country to pene-
tate their designs upon it, We condemn
these organizations upon their first ap-
pealanee in the North, as hot beds of
treasole because We know The principles
they advocate are antagonistic to the
Government in crushing this rebellion
When we behold the increase Of these or
ganization, and read the infamatory
speeches of the leading Copperheads, We
never for once, gave the ideaa place in
our brain, that ;he communicating influ-
ences of The secret orders, would be felt
even in our homes at Whartensburg.
We felt proud of the loyalty Of the
Whartenbergers. and the prolouudest OF
our gratitude to them, was only excelled
by admiration at their noble conduct
But, 10 upon the appearance ofa news
paper brought by a furloughed soldier,
our pride received terrible shock our
gratitude was changed to hate, and our
admiration to contempt,by reading an ac-
