Contraband Arms wrested.

there were concealed in boxes a large num-
Der Of Colts finest pistols, worth from
twenty TO fifty dollars. and in other boxes
Were abundant supplies of ammunition in
all shapes and OF every ariety, from sim
pie powder and ball to,patent cartridges Of
the latest inventions.
All these articles were seized on their
passage through this place 10 their destin.

the interior. Some Of the boxes were

were put up in other shapes calculated to
deceive end elude detection. This fact, and
the correspondence which has been discov
cred from time to time in reference TO the
matter, leave no doubt that these firearms
and ammunition We're designed to arm the
Golden Circle Copperheads for the conflict
winch they are seeking in resistance to the
Government.
We feel assured, that could the honest
masses, who are numbered with the demo-
cratic perry of Town, see these arms, read
tie evidence concerning them and the evl-

Judge Co,hsen,s Letter to the Public.

We have read Judge C1thren's address
to the public, first printed in the Mineral
Point Iatelligencer 1t follows few weeks
after his candidacy and defeat for the office
Of Chief Justice Of the Wisconsin Supreme
Court, and processes to claim that about all
that was said against him by the press dur
ing bis candidacy was false-=-''lies," as he
says. In Justice to the pnblics and also to
ourself rs a member of the press which
dared to speak the virtues and vices Of
Judge Cothren, as well as bis political
status during bis late candidacy, we mean
10 publish his said address, with such re-
marks as may seem appropriate. The pub
lie will want to know from under his own
hand to what extent if at all be fills the
idea, description and spirit of Copper
lead. Ifpossihle he ought to be cleared
Of tie Charge If impossible be must stand
it. The awful consequences Of even neu-
trail position upon questions involving Tue
life or death Of our government, much less
a bold or secret hostility to the army and
ohjecta of the war, must be such in the fu-
ture as to destroy the usefulness Of all who
occupy such grounds--howeyer secretly
entertained or boldly avowed. The time
has been when il mattered but little, com
paratively with the present, whether man
was right or wrong on the "next war;" for
though we.might have war the life Of the
country COLD not b. endangered thereby.
1t is not SO now, for the penls Of a civil war
Of thirty years depend entirely upon North
ern public opinion, Of which Judge Goth
ren is chief leader in our State. His able
address viii enable all to Judge precisely In
what direction his mind runs. And here
we caution our readers to give him the ben
eft Of all doubts in order that if possible
the charge Of copperheadism may not rest
upon him. If possible let BIN lie adjudg-
ed not only loyal, but rushing, mighty
friend to the war aud unien-one who
would serve his country if need he, even as
yaliantly as bis party. His address shall
anpear in the ReTdld next week.

papers are noting all the instances Of inf.
deity on the part Of wives of soldiers they
can hear Of, and then by making them
worse Improbable or possible, publishing
and re.publishing them-very often invent
ing les and making false enumerations Of
the numbers of such cases. Now the de-.
sign Of such papers is Clear enough; they
resort to this method 10 beget disafeetion
in the army, thinking that by giving the
soldiers TO understand that their women
are untrue, the army will grow disaffectcd
and demand dishonorable peace, at the
expense of the union and character of every
soldier. The ground design is to disho7or
the army, SO that the tories can say to every
soldier, "Ssr you hare serUed IN a diShon-
cradle wdr, a rorfos The Niger, and de-
serua no credit, no character. no position
mo nothing but disgrac5.
We have heard Of but two instances Of
wife inGdelity on the part Of soldiers
wives in Grant County, and we have rea-
soE to believe that in both cases the hue
bands volunteered to get rid Of them, or in
consequence of low degree Of affinity.
Any interference on tie part of stay-at-
home men with the wives of absent sol
diers would not be tolerated by the neigh
bors il any part of the County, nor are
small slanders permitted to run unchecked.
So far as we know the families of sol
diers are well enough cared for by neigh
bors. We think as d general thing they
are getting along better during The alb
sence of their husbands than before the
war. so far as living is concerned. There
are exceptions OF course, but in the gen
eral the. are faring better. Some hus-
bands neglect 10 remit .niuney to their
wives, but such were never OF much use
before the war. indeed, rather burthtn
for their wives to support. The war has
been relief ID such cases. The winter
WIS mild, the spring has been fine beyond
what was ever known. and the prospects
forcrops aud plenty never exceled. God

The steamer Belle Memphis left here at
p m. carrying about forty male and
twenty female rebels southwark. to be sent
through our lines into Dixie The fami-
lies Of several accompanied them. The
women were in gooi spirits, but the men
were depressed. The single rebels were
allowed to carry three hundred dollars each
and the marie rebels one thousand each.
IL is undecided which route into the interi-
or of The Confederacy they will take. An
immense crowd witnessed their departure.
A large number remain here to he ship
ped next time.
The most prominent men sent were
Daniel II. Donovan, formerly Surveyor Of
this port; James H. Doroughty. formerly
Receiver of Public Money; DR.. Moses ;
Henry NJ Hart. lawyer, Isaac H. Pollard,
lawyer; Mortimer Kenneli, Christian Pull
liz, merchants; Linton Lappngton. a
prominent citizen OF the county. The
families of Owen, Money, Hart and Dut,o
are allowed to accompany them at their
own request.
Among the women were Mrs. Gen.
Frost, Mrs. Montrose. Mrs. A. PuIlen, Mrs.
Lappington, Mrs. Smyzer, Mrs. Haynes,
Mrs. Mcclure, Mrs. Nicholson, Mrs. Clark
and Mrs. Snodgrass. The two former are
the wives OF rebel officers; tbs two latter
are rebel mail carriers.
1t is understood that the property Of
these parties will be appropriated for the
benefit ofeick and wounded soldiers.
About five hundred arrests have been
made Of known disIoyalists in the intsrior
who will all be shipped southwark mime
diately.
Another batch will probably leave on
Saturday, and this will be kept up until
the civ and State are sifted Of their most
dangerous rebel element.
Gen. Heron arrived last tight and
leaves tomorrow morning for Rolla.
