CoPPERHEAD PLOT AdAINHT THE
GOVERNMENT.

The Rochester Democrat has the follow
ing, indicating that Governor Seymour
is engaged in a plot to withdraw State
troops from the service Of the Govern
ment, and thus enabled the rebels to tri-
umph over weakened Executive. The
Democrat says
"The Providence Journal calls stten-
ton to significant occurrence in the
Maine Democratic Convention last week.
A certain General" S. j. Anderson, who
was so very anxious to have Bion Brand
bury nominated for Governor, sent up a.
private letter from that individual to
himself, and it was read by the Secretary.
1t was very long and yet it contained not
one syllable Of condemnation Of criticism
of the rebels. No one on reading it
would find in it any ground to infer that
Bradbury saw any irregularities Of con-
duct except in our Government, or any
danger except in the course OF the admin
istra ion. lie devotes his whole epistle
to objections to the doctrine which he
sscrbes to the Administration. Yet he
carefully avoids saying that he is oppos
ed to suppressing the rebellion BY var.---
The managers of the Convention evident
Iv intended That bis name should slip
through the Convention without too rigid
an examination Of his views on peace
But an in9uiring Democrat, who rejoices
in the classical name of Virgil Delphin
Paris, was not to be duped. The report Of
the proceedings says:
Virgil D. Paris asked whether Mr..
Bradbury occupied the same position
hat he did a year ago, saying that he had
,tated recently in conversation, sentiments
different from those expressed in the let
ter---that il the Convention adopted an
anti-war resolution they should lose the
State by 25,oOO or $4,000 majority.
"Genertr hnl:e9esl souohed for Mr..
Rradbur'ya being opposed to the war
without qualihcs.ions. and said he would
take the same stand as Governor Sey
mour Of New York and other Democrat
ic States, and shat when they Withdrew
their troops from the war, Mr. Bradbury,
If elected Governor, would withdraw the
troops Of Maine.
"Now. what does such language as
this mean ? Do Governors intend to
withdraw their troops from the war? Is
there such a plan on foot? General An
derson vouches for Bradbury's being op
posed to the war without qualification. "
and for his taking "the same stand with
Governor Seymour Will some of Gov
ernor Seymour's friends tell us whether
he is engaged in an intrigue having for
its object withdrawal Of the troops from
the field, and an unconditional submission
to the will of jeff Davis %

Stlttt Storp
Reconciliation.
BY JULIA 4. BURDICK.

Shall ever forget that unhappy day whose
miserieS arise before me- even now, with such
terrible distinctness
The long, dusty road wound like huge
yellow serpent up the hillside, and concealed
its further course in the forest of stunted
pines and half grown hemlocks on the top
On either side lay freshly ploughed fields
with not blade Of verdure to enliven the
vast stretch Of brown and back of me the
great, busy, dusty town, from whence a
thousand changing discords came to nv ear,
blended and mellowed by the distance into
roar like that of the far off, muhcd artillery
Imagine desert, sterile, ,sdesoate, and silent
as the eternal night Of the inlin tie reaches of
! moonless, and starless space, and these ard.
lHeless sand-plains falntng and fading still
in the glare Of a fierce, unwinking sum- and
you have the scene that mccked my tortured
eyes.
The old gate keeper looked at me curious
ly as | walked by. He was only one of the
many phantoms that passed ON my way.
One of these ghouls raised his hat, as [ met
him, and another spoke to me. He was an
| old friend, but scarcely knew that | had
ever seen such a face Ou' of the hideous
dreams of my childhood, when half human
monsters aSsalIed me on the verge of dizzy
! cliffs, or bore me aloft among nightmare la
den clouds 20 hull me down, down, into un-
fathomable abysses. The smile with which
he greeted me was almost fendish his
voice came up from pits of darkness, and was
a concentration Of malice, hate, and all wick
cdness Was his sardonic grin evoked by a
similar contorton of muscle and nerve in my
own face ? I asked myself the question:
No, for though my breath came short and
quick, and there were demons of anger and
pride IN my heart, tearing each other Ike
Gagged giants, was assured thatI had per-
mitted no signs of the wretchedness within
to undermine the rigid tranquility of my
smile, or rise through the calm tones of my
voice
Presently the hot sand began to burn
through nay thin shoes, and, when | reached
the margin of the pines, was glad to seat
myselfin the dusky shade, and throw off
my warm shawl and close bonnet. was in
defiant mood now, and smiled cont9mptu-
ouslv at my own weakness when l found
that my anger had, after all, resulted in
nothing better or worse than the gnawing
out of the ends of two or three glove fingers,
and the breaking apart of the little clasp
that joined them at the wrist. What bitter
thoughts were my companions! Alb, John
Hamilton, if you had known to what unchar-
itableness toward the world to what bitter
| feelings to what fierce battles with all with.

NECESSITY OF MORAL COURAGE.

A great deal of talent is lost in the world
for the want off little courage. Every day
sends to their graves a number Of obscure
men who have remained in obscurity only
because their timidity has prevented them
from making a first effort, and who if they
could have been induced to begin, would in
all probability have gone great lengths in the
career Of fam& The fact is, that to do any,
thing in this world worth doing, we must
not stand back shiyering and thinking Of the
cold and danger, but jump in and scramble
through as well as we can. 1t will not do to
be perpetuslly calculating risk and adjusting
nice chances; it did very well before ths
flood, when man could consult his friend
upon an intended publication for hundred
and fly years, ard then live to see its sue
cess afterwards; but at present man doubts
and waits, and consuils his brother and his
particular friends, till one fine day he finds
that be is sixty years of age that he has
lost so much time in consulting his first
cousins and particular friends, that be has no
more time to follow their advice.

WHERE THE NEXT ARMY Is TO
81. COME FROM.

The timely warning of Gov. Seymour as to
the necessity Of providing more men to sup
ply the place of those soldiers whose terms
of enlistment will expire during the coming
Spring seems to have been entirely ignored
by the administration leaders and press 1t
seems to be taken for granted by them that
our last white army is now in the field, and
that if any additional troops are to be called
into the service they must come from the
plantations. Hence Thad. Stevens bill to
arm 10000 negroes, and Mr.. Beecher's dec
laration that the slaves are now the military
forlorn hope Of the republic.
But Is it really true that no more white
soldiers can be enlisted ? 1t cannot, Of
course, be denied that the North, once united,
is now divided in sentiment. So long as the
war was for the restoration of the Union un-
der tn old constitutional guarantees there
was no difficulty in raising troops but now
that it is simply conflict for freeing negroes,
the larger half of the North has had it's
enthusiasm chilled. This cannot be denied.
But how is it with the Republican party
Surely there can be no lack of enthusias m
| for the war in that organization. They
have declared that emancipation would not
only create trouble at the South by rous-
ing the negro population, but that it would
be received with delight by the real war
| party Of the North. The roads "were to
swarm with recruits" and "the three times
three hundred thousand abolitionists who
had not yet smelt POWDER were to take the
| field.
By next July it is as certain as that two
and two make four that half our army will
be disbanded or dead. Now, therefore, is the
time for the Republican to fill up the ranks
They are bound in honor to do so.-- Wor!t

ANOTHER REMEDY FOR DIPTHERIA.

Pennsylvania correspondent writes us
that the dipthera is very prevalent in some
parts of that State, and says that we would
confer great favor upon the sufferers by re
publishing the remedy given about year ago.
With this request we comply. 1t is as fol
lows:
MAKE two small bags that will reach from
ear to ear, and ill them with ashes and salt !;
dip them IN hot water, and wiring them out
So they will not drip, and apply them to the
throat cover up the whole with flannel
cloth, and change them rs often as they be-
come cool, until the throat becomes irrtated,
near blistering. For children, it is nee
essary to put flannel cloths between the
ashes and the throat 20 prevent blistering.
When the ashes have be n on sufficient time,
take a flannel cloth and rub it with CASTLE
soap until it is covered with a thict; lather
dip it in hot water, and apply it to the throat'
and change as they cool at the same time
use eargle made of one teaspoonful of cay
enne pepper, one Of salt, one of molasses, in a
teaspoonful of hot water and when cool, add
one fourth as much cder-vinegar, and gargle
every fifteen miutes until the patient requires
sleep. A gargle made of CASTLE soap is good
to be used part of the time"
A correspondent in Name, in sending the
above remedy, says there had been a number
Of deaths from diptheria, until this remedy
was used, since when all have recovered.-A

Dott' S QJorner,
ON THE MARCH.

soldier lay on the frozen ground
With only blanket tightened around
His weary and wasted frame:
Down at his feet the fitful light
Of fading Goals, in the freezing night,
Fell as a mockery on the sight,
hcartless, purple fame.
All day long with his heavy load,
Weary and sore, on the mountain road,
And over the desolate plain;
All day long through the crusted mud,
Over the snow and through the food,
Marking his way with track of blood
He followed the winding train.
Nothing to eat at the bvouac,
But frozen crust in his haversack, ~
The half of a comrades store
crust, that after longer fast,
Some pampered spaniel might have passed,
Knowing that morsal to be tho last
That lay at his masters door.
No other sound on his sIumber fell,
Than the lonesome tread of the sentinel,
That equal, measured pace
And the wind that came from the cracking pine,
And the dying oak and the swinging pine,
In many weary weary line,
To the soldiers hollow face
But the soldier slept and the dreams were
As the rosy glow of his bridal night,
Will the angel on his breast,
For he passed away from the wintry gloom
To the pleasant ligat Of cheerful room,
Where cat sat purring upon the loom,
And his weary heart was blest,
His children eame-two blue-eyed girls.
With laughing lips and sunny cdrls
And cheeks of rulty glow
And the mother pale, but lovely now,
A. when upon her virgin brow
He proudly sealed bis early vow,
In the summer, long ago.
But the rcyeille wild, in the morning gray,
Startled the beautiful vision away,
Like q frightened bird OF the night;
And it seemed to the soldiers misty brain
Bat the shril tattoo that sounded again,
And he turned with dull, uneasy pain,
To the camp-fre's dying light.
