CoPPERHEAD RECORDS In time of
peace and national security, the frequent
sudden shifts in the course of many polti-
cal navigators, induced by apparent or
apprehended changes in the popular cur
rent, are ridiculous enough. In time of
war involving the very existence Of the ma
ton, it is disgracefnl to humanity that
any man, possessing the ability for much
good, should be found still unable to over
come this habit of periodical tacking and
steer straight ahead upon the track of the
duty he owes his country. That we must
accept as fact the actual existence of such
men, has long since been discovered. But
We have not seen more painful exhibition
OF the kind than that made by the great
king of copperheads, Fernando Wood,
during the two years continuance of this
war.
The New York Tribune arranges side
by side, extracts from his speeches made
in 1861, and from his recent enes in this
year 1863. The lesser lights ct the cop
perhead tribe very likely would attempt
an explanation by their accustomed resort
to the pitiful subterfhge, that, though they
favored the war in its inception, it has
since been converted mo an abolition
crusade" !" that h,y therefore now oppose
it, and propose to let the Union sat, Rnt
Wood is too frank for them. In 1861 he
was for opposing force to treason. In
1863 he opposes the use of such force -
he opposes the war simply because "at
should aeoer haze been commenced" The
fact doubtless is, with them all, that the
overwhelming popular uprising IN 1861,
turned them upon the war track while
they have since discovered, as they mag
inc, a growing popular disposition for
peace at any price which they may sue
cessfully "work." In this last fancied
discovery consists their grand mistake a
intake which will be sure to sink them
irretrievably.
The following are the extracts referred
to, from Woods speeches in 1861 and
1868:

: - My friends, it has
t been said here to-day
that your flag has been
,linsu ted. Ayei not
. only has your dag been
. Iinsulted, but the late
Secretary of War, as
Stunning to represent the
onf,derate states, has
said that the Confeder-
ate flag shall wave over
your Capital before the
first Of May. And more
than that, that the Con-
lfederate flag shall fly
over Faneuil Hall, in
Boston. Ny friends, be-
foi e that banner can fly
over Fancuil Hall in
Boston, it must be car
ir, d over the dead body
of every citizen of New
York. ~

" Let Ms declare fol
peace, and let us declare
that the party or the
man who advocates the
prosecution Of this war is
false to the Democratic
creed, and shall be cast
ont from among us as
Democrats. = = But
there is another wonder:
that in this civilized pop
ulation of over thirty
millions, North s.ad
South. abounding with
benevolsnce, purit cul-
tivation and enlightened
Christianity, none are
found to raise the ban
ner OF peace. As if the
most damnable crime
on the record Of history
ancient or mo'i,rn, con
stitute religion, forgeti
ting that War is the
child Of Satan, aud that
Peace is of God, the en-
anation of the Divine
Spirit. !"

Provost Marshals and their Functions,

The following definition of provost
marshal is taken from work of acknowl,
edged authority "Campbe!l's Dictionary Of
Military Science" As this officer is not
known to our laws, or mentioned in our
our rules and articles of war, but borrowed
from the English military service, it is as
well that the public should be made &C.
quained with the powers and duties Of that
officer in the service where he is legally
recognized. A comparison of the powers
An duties mentioned with those claimed
and exercised in our country, at the present
time, by the so-callel ''provost marshal"
may suggest some not Improbable reAec-
tions:
Provost Marshal.-An officer appointed
in every army to secure prisoners confined
on charges Of general nature, to preserve
good order and discipline, to use every pos,
sible means Of preventing crime, by fret
quently visiting those places at which
breaches Of order and discipline are likely
to be committed. lie takes cognizance Of
all followers and retainers of the camp, as
well as of the soldiers of the army. The
provost marshal is intrusted with authority
to ntllct summary punishment on any SOL
der or individual connected aUih the army
whom he may detect in the actual commits.
sion of any otfense against order and discip
line; but recourse to the exercise of this
authority must be limited to the necessity
of the case, where the prevalence and ire'
qnent commission OF any particular otfense
calls for an immediate example.
Whatever may be the crime, the provost.
marshal must see the offender commit the
act for which summary punishment may be
inflicted or if the provost marshal or his
assistants should not see the offender actu-
ally commit the crime, but that sufficient
proof of his guilt can be established.
report must be made to the general officer
commanding.
Officers who impede the provost marshal,
or any other officer legally exercising au'
thority, or refuse to assist him when requr
ing their aid in the execution of his duty,
are liable to be cashiered. A soldier guilty
of this cflense is liable to punishment by the
sentence of general court.marshal.
BY the articles of war; no provost mar
shal or officer commanding guard can rer
fuse to receive and detain any prisoner com
mitted to his charge by any officer or non.
commissioned officer of his majestys for
ces, who must, however, at the same time
deliver written charge against the prisoner,
signed by himself-From CampbelEs Die.
