EY" LORD BRoUGuAM AND HIS COPPER
HEAD ALLIEs.-That old dotard, Lord
Brctghani, an English abolitionist, who has
become an imbecile, has been pouring out a
torrent of abuse against this country, assert
ing that the object of those warning against
the South, was merely to excite insurrection
among the slaves. That the government is
under the control of mobs, and that the
Press caters to the mobs, and dare not pub
lish the truth. The Copperhead papers,
here, republish these vile ISLANDERS on their
own country, and at the same time refuse to
publish the patriotic speeches of Henry
Ward Beecher. If Lord Brougham would
read our Copperhcad journals, he would find
not much truth, but he would find that they
publish, with impunity, not only vile SLAM
ders on their country and government, but
are constantly filed with reasonable articles
that would not be tolerated under any other
government.

Big thing to be Commanding General, if

word of truth in the statement. General
Burnside, a few years ago, lost heavily in
manufacturing gums of his own invention, in
Rhode Island. He gave up all to pay his
liabilities, and was employed at New York,
on Il salary, when called upon by Governor
Spraguc to command Rhode Island regi-
ment. lie left everything, and in "a hours
was at the head of the first regiment rais-

dation in the eyes of copperhead editor
General Burnside has u reputation for
honesty and integrity that none Of his re-
yilers dare aspire TO.

A Sud Termination of IN BuilObn
Excursion.

NJ. Nadar has been experimenting IN
France with a balloon called the Giant; in
which he intended to carry a number Of
passengers from one part of Europe to an
other. He made one successful ascension,
but on the 18th of October he made another
from the Champs de Mars, with several
passengers. The balloon remained up sew
entecn hours, and travelled two hundred and
fifty leagues. 1t descended on the next day
near Nicuburg, in Hanover, after dragging
for several hours in consequence of the an
chor having broken. N. Nadar had both
his legs dislocated; his wife sustained a
compression of the thorax and contusions on
the leg and NJ. Saint Felix, one of the pas
sengers, experienced a dslocation of the
left humerus, besides injuries on the face,
Two other passengers were also injured, but
only slightly.
Mr. Eugene Arnoult, one Of the passengers
in the balloon, gives the following graphic
account of the disastrous voyage of the
"Giant /"
At nine o'clock on Sunday night we were
at Erquelines; we passed over Malines, and
towards midnight We were in Holland. We
rose up very high, but it was necessary TO
come down to see where we were. Ignorant
of that, our position was critical one. Be
low, as far us we could see, were marshes
and in the distance we could hear the roar
of the sea. We threw out ballast and

New ORLEANS, Nov 14..-Undcr this
date, a correspondent describes the troubles
in Matamoros, between the French and the
Juarcz national partisans in Mexico. Of
the present commandant at Matamoros, he
writes:
Cortintas has shown his friendship for the
Union by placing three Rio Grande steamers
at the service AID under tho control of
General Banks. One of these, the Mata
moros, is valuable to ts, because she is the
only boat we have here that can cross the
bar at the river mouth, -
Another revolution was booked for on the
night of the 7th-Sth and as the American
Consul in Matamoros expected to be attack
ed, our forces were held iu readiness to
defend him. But nothing came of it.
1t is fact that the French naval officers
on the Matamoros station were for some
time in expectation of pronunciamento
which should place the French party in
power in Tamaulipas, and it is now clear
that all the arrangements of the French on
the coast were made with this in view. The
French blockade covers the whole coast to
point within nine miles of the Rio Grande.
Had the people of Tamaulipas pronounced"
in favor of the French, us it was intended
they should with the help of the rebels
under General Bee, all the objects of the
French, and of the rebels, too, would havo
been accomplished, without leaving our
Government room to complain of unfricndly
action. The opportune arrival of General
Banks spoiled most ingenious and to us
dangerous plot.
THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS.
The prospect in Texas for our cause is
good. Gen. Banks needs and ought to
have more troops, perhaps ten or twelve
thousand men, in order to enable him to
act in the State. The people in Browns
vile, as well as on the Mexican side of the
river are friendly to us. / have TO doubt
that Mexican troops could be raised, if il
were advisable, to serve under the American
flag. The greater part of the people IL
and about Brownsville are of Mexican
origin the common people and the wealthy
men are favorable to the establishment o
the Union Government, under which they
always enjoyed peace, protection, and liber
ty. They are, however, much cowcd by
the rebel tyranny, and have such an idci
of the strength and determination of tn,
rebels that they will not take political actor
unless they are made sure of protection.
The display of considerable force hert
is necessary to produce confidence in our
power and to restore the former condition
of things; and this force must remain for ;
time With proper management there is
prospect that al Texas can be brought bacl
under the Union flag, and that with littl,
delay. Now that part of the people ar,
relieved from tyranny which had grown
hateful to them, and that also the tcmperin!
ofsthe French with the rebels has becl
interrupted and their plots broken up, til
prospect here is promising.

CorSTF.--The editor of the Breckinridge
Democrat of this place, who had hardly.
harmed himself i'll the county, before he
Wormed himself into office, attempts to ac-
court for the small majority of his party, by
a statement Of facts that arc neither credita-
BILE to his intellect or creditable to his party
He puts down the increased vote of the
county at $50 votes, which, he says, "was of
course imported, for no one can believe we
have such an increase, fairly, in che year.
In all towns we were overrun with an extra
imported vote" lie admits, that of this
s52 of an increase, 2ss belongs to his party,
and was, of course, part of the imported
vote. His charges of fraud againt the Union
party will disturb no one, and if his own
party are willing to father, for his sake, the
charge of fraud of over one third of the
increase, they can readily do so after having
swailowed so many other marvellous and
ireredible statements which illuminate the
Copperhead organ. To show the reckless
character of his statements, whether through
Ignorance or design, in regard to the vote Of
the towns, we need only say that in the
town of Sunbury, there were and are, over
500 registered voters, yet only 3s4 votes
were poled. This political Solomon assumes
rs fact, that the whole vote is always
polled, and that Governors election would
bring out no stronger vote than that of a
petty county office, to say nothing of nat
ural increase.

John X. Stetler, merchant of Philadelphia,
have been tried for serious offences against
the Government, and sentenced to five years.
Imprisonment in the Albany Penitentiary.
The former was found guilty of holding
reasonable correspondence with the rebels
the latter accepted contract for furnish
ing the army with coffee, and gave instead
an adulterated article Mr. Smithson was
of a class Of men living under the protection
of the Government who take pride in boast
ing Of their disloyalty; rejoicing over every
defeat, and weeping over every victory. Mr.
Smithson stood high in the society of Wash
ington. lie had many opportunities of OBJ
tanning information, and of gaining access
to the secret counsels of the Government
The result was that our enemies were tho
roughly apprised Of what we were doing
Mr.. Stetler professed to be loyal man. He
received fair price, and had Mr.. StctleI
been reasonable man he might have re-
tanned his self-respect, the good opinicn OF

.Sg- THE LOST FLAG.-our Copperhead
neighbor pretends to be highly indignant,
that his friends could not get the American
flag to run up during the great Woodward
pow vow in this place. We knew nothing
about il, but understand that If they had
made inquiry Of the proper person, they
could have obtained il. But why should
