red .mouthed, oath-bound set Of trait
ors that ever set q foot on American
soil; they do not deserve the name of
M American citizen. Their leaders
name is c. L. Vallandigham, Jeffer-
son Davis Northern agent, who the
so called Democratic party nominated
for Governor of our State; one that
has never voted dollar nor cent to-
support this war, but has in every
wav opposed lie claims to be a.
friend Of the soldiers, but his sprofess-
sions do not agree with his actions.
lie is despised by every good soldier
in the arny-as we will show him at
the ballot box. He may as well con-
slider himself defeated---our regiment
will 90 unanimously for Brough.
The Copperheads are daily sending
their reasonable sheets to the army,
with a view to electioneering for Val
Ilandigham. They had better send
Val, and some of his colleagues, and
plenty of rope, for it would not pay
to waste the powder to shoot them.
Probably he had better stay where he
lis.
The weather is very warm here,
and the only way we can keep from
suffering from the intense heat is, to
drink cold water, keep clear con
science, and carry the platform of
John Brough in the crown of our hats
I would recommend this to the Cop
lperhcads, as their heads are naturally
soft it my prevent them from being
sun struck
The Copperheads call themselves
the champions of free speech. and call
us the dupes of designing Abolition
lists; and say that we are engaged in
a wholesale crusade against slavery.
Well. while we are engaged in the cru
sade, | say. wipe it out Of existence,
for it always has been curse to the
, United States, and will he as long as
{ it remains. My honest and candid
! opinion is, that we will never have a
o. permanent peace until it is abolished.
: We are anxious that the people of our
. State should fairly understand that
, we fear no foe arrayed against us
whether in our front or rear--eacl de-
r serve the same treatment when caught.
and may expect our denunciations so
{ long rs they speak treason, or act the
, part of n rebel. Oh. wretchcd Cop
nipcrhead! how dare you utter such
q Sentiments! Ponder deeply upon what
-. YOU are doing, that a guilty conscience
: may never chastise you, and call upon
/, you to fall upon your knees. TO i'm.
lplore the mercy of an imsulted army

V August third. Michael Hocllenberger
1 company ID, Doth regiment.
The cause of his death was chroni,
!, diarrhpa. We were all sad at the oc
r currcnce of his death. A better sol
@ der could not have been found in tn
'regiment--trusty, ever prompt at tn
:. post of duty. While this is sourc
i of grief to us, suppose it's joy TO
v Vallandigham's supporters.

- The following is an extract Of let
= ter from Lieutenant VIM. B. Richards
J. company ID, Goth regiment:
e You spoke in your letter Of having
n some Dutternuts Mt Findlsy; we fcr
y sorry 10 hear such news from home
q hut tir,t is all we can cSpert If W,
,, had some oil them here, in less thai
u six months we could make good Unioi
,nea OF them. Those who have vol
0 o,untecrcd their services to a Just cause
q and have proved true while on tn,
G elbattle- field, and while in the face o
e the enemy, will not support any MAJ
n like Vallandigham or his party. w
J. cannot or will not support any Butter
nut, and if the soldiers have an oppor
c tunity to vote they will support tn
IeIUnion ticket without a scratch. My
IL self with a great many Other boys
g when we left home, would have sup
Is portcd the Democratic party; but sine
IT then things have changed We will
stick to the Union, and vote regard
II less Of party.
E. We have but 46 men present in on
,e company, 63 is the whole number G
Is men now enrolled. Out of those pres
II, II, ent, thirty-two intend to send to Fine
III lay Tor the Union paper, in additio
=; to those who are taking it. The Coul
l Ter is an unwelcome paper among I'll
Y soldiers.
