THE WESTERN "CopPERHEADs.'-
An officer, in the Richmond (Va. En-
quirer, in (but escaped and saved)
Morgan's Corps, says Of the recent
Western raid:
"Ihe Copperheads and Butternuts
were always in the front opposing us.
Occasionally we would meet with d
pure Southron, generally persons BAN
ished from the border States. In
Indiana one recruit was obtained, q
boy fourteen years old, who came as
an orderly. l think the people of
Indiana and Ohio are anxious for
peace; and could the idea Of their
ability to conquer us once be gotten
rid of, they would clamor for an i'm
mediate recognition. Every town
was illuminated and the people every
where rejoicing over the downfall Of,
Vicksburg. .El
The Republican papers republishes
this, but will, nevertheless, in some
coming paper, resay that Indiana and
Ohio "Copperheads" invited the raid.

CosT OF THE DRAFT. 1t is estima-
ted that thirty thousand men are at
present employed by the Admiuistra,
tion under the Conscription Law, the
salary Of each averaging more than
eight times the pay OF a private sol>
der. In addition, fifty thousand ''in-
yalid soldiers who are engaged in the
service as "guards" to the Provost
Marshal's, most of whom are fit for
duty in the field. Thus the expense
of enforcing the Conscription Act is
about equivalent to the payof an army
of three hundred thousand men. If
the money thus blindly disbursed had
been offered in the form of bounties
to the volunteets, all the troops that
will be raised by the draft would be
forthcoming without it. But as it is
the Conscription has added to the
measure of popular disgust of the war
and developed a strong feeling in ia
vor of peace throughout the country.

The Chicago Times says:
At the breaking out of the war there were
few men in the country who felt less laith
in the efficiency of war to restore the Union
than General (then Captain) Meade, and no
man deplored the war more than he. The
writer Of this speaks whereof he knows
His idea OF the event Of the war was the
ruin of both sections. To repeat his own
language, "There wonld be nothing left o
either section but the tail, and the North
might have the longer tail" Gen Meade
was then, and no doubt is now highly con
servative in his political opinions--his sym
pathies, we think, being with the Douglas
Democracy--and thought as badly Of Aboli-
tionism as we do We have seen it stated
that in Religion he is Roman Catholic. =
That is mistake. He is Episcopalian.

Butternut emblems did not offend the

out that John Brown was hung on Butter

We have received partial and imperfect
information Of skTmish in Saline county,
which is said to have taken place on the
m rnine OF the Both ultimo. Captain Can
non, with about seventy five men, attacked
a band OF sixty three bushwhackers, under
one Captain Bluht, and supposed to belong
to Quantreli's command. The militia lost
two men killed and one wounded, and one
horse killed. The rebels had several men
wounded, and Blunt's horse received fatal
shot. The militia then retreated, and the
enemy ell back to the brush, cheering for
QuantreH as they retired
The rebels next attacked smaller party
OF militia, Il teen in number, belonging to
the lst enrolled Missouri Militia acting as
a guard to a paymaSter, who had about $50,
coo The money escaped observation, but
two militia men were captured and paroed
and seven of the best horses belonging to
Their comrades taken. The enrolled Mis-

Captain Cannon, whose command is from
the town Of Marshall, having captured two

CAIRO, August 6.
A most atrOcIous butchery was committed
at hall past O'Clock, A. NJ, on the l4th
/ inst. at BeCkham's Landing. in TeDDessee,
opposite Point Pleasant, Illinois. Twelve
negroes, each Of them armed with reyol
yer, musket and bowie knie, went that dRy
I to the house OF Mr.. Beckham, a well known
merchant, who had Tor years kept store at
that place, aud who gave name to the land.
| ing, There were in the house at the time,
Major Beekham, his son Frank, and the four
children OF this son. All these were first
/ tied by the negroes and then butchered, the
tiends cutting off the heads OF some of the
helpless victims, and stabbing others. The
lifeless bodies were then dragged to the
river and thrown into the water. A safe in
the house was broken open, and everything
in the dwelling destroyed. Mrs. Beckham,
wife OF Frank Beckham, with one OF her
children was absent at the time, and two
ether children were at school. This iortu
nate absence saved their lives, as they did
not return till the murdcrers had left a
niece Of Mr.. Beckham was passing by the
house just as the murdereTs had tied his
hands lie ordered her to run for her life.
She did so,and although the villains fired eigh
teen shots at her, she succeeded in making
her escape, being mounted on q mule, which
bore her out o reach o danger. She gave
the alarm, and the whole neighbotinghood
turned out after the murderers. Nine OF
them we're c1ptured half way between Is
land No. 10 and the landing, by Lieut. Mel
son. The other three had not been heard
ci up to the evening of the 5th. The arres
ted negroes all confessed the deed, but de.
clared thai they were ordered to. commit
the murder by Capt Thomas, commanding
the Contrabanis at Island No. TO- There is
something mysterious about the whole al
iair.
The negroes were contrabands from Is
land No. 10. brought thither from Cairo a
bout four months ago. They could not.
leave the island without passes, and they
could not have been so completely armed
without the knowledge of the officers. 1t
is said that Mrs Beckham held negro girl
whose mother bad escaped TO the island
There are also stores atloat OF other depreda
tons committed by the white officers of the
two negroes on the island. Be that Us 1t
may, this a.rociolS deed has spread alarm
among the inhabitants ofthe neighborhood
who believe thst the long expected massa
ere has commenced. Some are preparing for
Hight, others for vengance.

JNdgc EC1Eya5me and iAls Pledge.
Two years ago Judge Mc'lvains pledged
his word and honor to the voters and sol
diers, that ii they would elect him } udge he
would, SO long as the war continued, give
three hundred dollars out OF his salary OF
fifteen hundred dollars per annum, to sup
port the families OF soldiers. The people, re
lying on his pledge, elected him Many
poor men went into the var believing that the
j Judge ans others would perform their pledg
es and support their children while they
were fighting our battles The Judge has
now been in Office nearly two years, and un
der his pledge owes the soldiers families
about sir hundred dollars But the Judge
has not paid over one dollar, and now posi>
lively refuses to perform his pledge. He has
taken that six hundred dollars which honest
ly belongs to the suffering families of SOL
diers and has embellished his house so it
looks good enough for any King or Lord to
live in. Many soldiers children cry for
bread, and, as it were, point to the splendid
palace .ot Judge Mcllvaine, and then to his
pledge, which secured their tather's vote,
and induced them to go into the army, and
then appeal to his honor. BuL the Judge,
delighted with the magnfcence of his man
sion, turns deaf ear TO their appeal, aud
with one iot upon his pledge and the other
on his honor, bids defiance to their tears and
entreaties. liza man will disregard so sa
cred pledge, achat p1elge soouM be consider
Of any binding torce' lie might give three
hundred dollars year, according to his
promise, and still have left him twelve hun.

soldier only gets one hundred and fifty SIX

WINCHESTER, TENN, August 13. -
The General, in the past two days,
has created quite an agitation among

disgraceful character are being made
known. A military Commission has
been appointed to investigate the
charges and ferret out the offenders.
The moneyed monopolizers have been

The wires are in requistion, and the
utmost activity, with the General as
the motive power, prevails to arrest
every one in the department. in the

question.
The matter will be thoroughly siftcd
