The New York Herald on "Copper-

The New York Herald on Cooper |
.. heads.n .tv
The New York Herald, in a late is
sue, commenting on the statements
unanimously made by refugees from the
South, that the only hope left for the
rebels was that of dividing the North,
and that their main stay was Northern
Ooppsrheads, says: '' .'
1--WE believe this testimony to be
true; that the cause Of the Union was
never stronger, and that the rebellion
was never weaker, than it is to-day,
and that the only hope of the rebel
chiefs now lies in the creation by the
Coppsrhead politicians Of Northern di-
vision, distraction and disturbances ,
extending to bloody riots and civil war
in resistance to the CONSUMPTION Act
and other war measures of Congress-
These Copperhead politicians are simply
arguing the alternative of armed resist.

ciuH aoar in the loyal States, as more de-
sirable than the further continuance OF

hausted rebellion The vogabond peace
preacher of this sort, who has nothing
to lose, but something to expect from
the pickings of riot or the raids of {
mob, may be consistent with his owr
shabby interests in preaching resistance
to the laws; but when his deluded fol
lowers are made to understand the sim
pie fact that they must stand prepare,
. to fight for the Government or to fgh

abandon him in disgust.
"The exact issue before US is the sui

Of crushing campaign by land an

head, in speech made few days ago,
denounced tho Government currency al
worthless trash, of hardly equal value
to Confe derats money. A poor Irish.
man, having heard of Samuels' speech,
and having quantity of Confederate
money in his possession, called on the
oopperhead aud offered to exchange it
for greenbacks, and was willing to give
boot. Samuels didn't then see it, and
declined to make the trade, thereby
proving to the satisfaction of all that he
is not man of his word.

ESCAPE OF GENERAL LEE.

General Lee has again, after terrible de-
feat, escaped across the Potomac. His army
has been reduced fully one-third, but the
portion left was in good condition, and the
retreat and passage of the river were con-
Quoted in manner creditable to his military
genius.
We all counted so strongly upon second
defeat of Lee and the capture of much of his
army, that there is a good deal of disap-
pointment at his retreat. But until all the
circumstances are known, no one can fairly
discuss the matter. General Meade's force,
and condition of his supplies of ammuni-
tion, the state of his cavalry and other
things that must be considered in attacking
an enemy, were better known to him than
they could be to any one else. Lee goes
back defeated. He has left three or four
thousand of his soldiers in PENNSYLVANIA
graves six or eight thousand wounded in
our Hospitals, and about ten thousand of
them prisoners, Counting the wounded
that he took back with him, his total loss
while on this side Of the Potomac NAV be
properly estimated at thirty-fve thousand
men, or one-third of the army with which
he came from Virginia, to capture Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington, and occu-
py the whole of Pennsylvania and MARYLAND.
After this second punishment, it is not like
ly that he will again attempt an invasion of
Pennsylvania.

General Grant then took him aside. They.
sat down on the grass and talked more than
an hour. Grant emokcd all the time. Penn
berton played with the grass and pulled
leaves. Grant finally agreed to parole them,
allowing the officers each his horse. 1t was
polite thing. The dread of going North,
and the fear of harsh treatment, had deferred
them from capitulating sooner. He proved
his magnanimity and saved thousands upon
thousands of dollars in the way of transpor-
tations and rations. They feared the Fourth
of July. Our men would call out at night
that the Fourth would finish them, and it
was SO arranged. BY this we have saved
thousands of lives. Both armies are grptiti
ed with the result. Ourmen treat them with
kindness, giving them coffee, which some of
them have not tasted for year
