The month of May has called forth some OF
the most exquisite inspirations of the Muse,
Milton, Fawcett, Scott and Moore have just

1t is said the President never had
any faith in the project of capturing
Vicksburg by getting into the rear
through Yazoo Pass, or the Big Sun
flower River, or any other back-door
route to victory. He, however, yielded
to wishes of his subodinates and allow
ed them to try these plans which have
proved productive of little but delay.
1t is due to his decided. though tardy,
orders that the holder, aud, as it has
proved, more feasible plan of running
the batteries and uniting the forces
of the Upper Mississippi with those of
the Lower Mississippi Grant with
Banks, and Porter with Farragut-
was adopted. The success of this
method of opening the Mississippi thus
far leads to the best hopes of the future,
and the authorities are now confident
that the great river will soon be ours
from its source to its mouth. ,tet...

Copperheadism in Bradford.

At Bradford, last Sunday, soldier
noticed a person wearing copper.
head pin ; spoke to him about it, and
the result was Touchdown argu-
ment. The combatants had 1t nip
and tuck, the soldier having little
the best of it, when they were parted.
The wearer of the pin, who was an
ignorant sort of a fellow, protested
that he knew nothing of the charac-
ter of the pin did not know that II
was symbol Of treason. and said he
had supposed there was no more
harm in wearing that pin than any
other. 1t was finally ascertained that
the pin had been given to-the man by
prominent copperhead of the place,
whereupon the crowd, which had col
lected round, went to his residence.
They found the object of their visit in
the yard, and enquired if he had CIV
en- copperhead pin to a certain per-
son, to which he replied that he had
not, whereupon the crowd left to
hunt up the prosecuting witness.
They found him and returned, taking
him along. In the meantime the &C.
cused had gone into the house and
locked the doors. One of the crowd
knocked, when the wife of the man
they we're after, came to window
and asked what was wanted. The re-
ply was that they wanted to see her
husband. She answered he was in
the house, and was not coming out.
She was told that he tcas coming out,
and if he did not come voluntarily
they would take him out by force,
whcreupon he made his appearance
On being confronted by the man who
had been wearing the pin, he confess
ed that he had given it to him. II
was also learned that he had more o.
them in his possession, and he was or
dered to fork over, which he did, and
the pins were destroyed. Hearing
that two other copperheads OF the
place had similar pins in their posses.
sion, they were also waited npon and
requested to deliver up, which they
did, and these were also ground to
pomace before the eyes of their late
owners. They were then admonished
against laying in another stock OF like
articles, and in terms so pointed and
earnest that they will probably never
repeat the offence. The crowd then
drew up a set of resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted, the sub
stance % which was, That any per-
son found wearing coppcrhead pin
in the streets of Bradford should be
waited npon by a committee, and if
found that he wore it understanding
its character, it should be taken from
him and destroyed, and the wearer
ducked in the Cedar river. aHr
We gather the above from gentle
man OF this place who was in Brad
ford at the time the occurrence took
place. We should Judge that Brad
ford affords poor pasturage for cop
perheads. The prompt action Of the
loyal people of that place will NEE:
with the hearty approval Of all patri'
OTIS. The man who was beaten fol
sporting the hated emblem was a
poor, ignorant fellow, and the general
impression is that the more knowing
snakes made use of him to learn
whether the people would submit to
anything of the kind or not Rather
think they are convinced by this time
that the thing wont pay.-Cedar Falls
Gazette.

Civil War in Iowa.

The Dubuque Herald of last Sun
day morning comes out holder than
ever against the Administration. 1t
seems from two column article in
that paper that Hutchins, editor Of
the Herald, ordered from New York
some time since box of Colts re-
volvers, which he intended to distrib-
ute among his subscribers to oppose
the enforcement of the Consumption
Law. The box arrived at the Du-
buque Express Office on the 18th of
the present month, addressed to the
editor of the Herald, and marked,
&" current funds" j. b. Henion, Sur
veyer of Customs, getting wind of
the matter, Immediately seized the
box containing the revolvers, and in
formed the editor that he should not
deliver them up until he received
orders so to do from headquar-
tiers. This rather raised Hutchins,
Irish whereat he wants to know il
there is any law which opposes the
arming of rebels. Hutchins blcats
like the very deuce since he received
a most unmerciful whaling at Ce.
dar Falls. He now hates Union men
more than ever. He says that the
Governor is arming the Union
Leagues of Iowa. This is another
lie. After pitching into the Union
Leagues he gives vent to his misery
as follows -. ... Observation-Disclosures.
"And when Democrats attempt, from sheer
necessity, to put themselves in a position of
defense an underlng of the Government,
without law steps in and attempts to prevent
it. We are no alannist. If we know our own
soul and heart, nothing do we so much fear,
nothing do we 80 greatly desire to avoid as
war at home. But we cannot stand still and
see servile party bind us hand and foot. We
will not. Our only defense is to provide
against outrage, and that we will provide
against it these men may be sure. Upon them
will be the responsibility of the assault but
when it comes, when we are reduced to the
alternative of the conflict or subsection, We
shall not hesitate in the choice. They need
not think that through this man Henion or
any other instrument they can keep us from
efficient means of defence. We can get arms
in spite of them. We are men who love law,
desire peace, and know the manner in which
it is to be secured. We advise all to provide
for their security without delay, and in the
fear of God but not of man we warn these con-
spirators to cease their wicked efforts
We advise our rebel contemporary
never to show his SCARED face in Wa
terloo for Just as sure as he does, he
will be pitched into the Cedar River

Halleck and Warren.

Gen. Fitz Henry Warren is now in
ashipgton. He has been acquitted
by Judge Advocate Gen. Holt Of all Of
Halleck's old charges, and the Presi-
dent has approved Of Judge Hollis de.
cision. The reader will recollect that
among those officers who were not
pro-slavery, and therefore incurred the
displeasure of Hallcck when he com
manded the Department Of the West,
was Gen, Warren. Although Halleck
desired that the charges be had pre-
ferred against Warren might lie un-
acted upon, the latter gentleman had
too much spirit to allow them longer
to hang over him. and consequently
obtained an order from the President
to Judge Holt to investigate the mat.
ter. Judge Holt reported that the
charges were totally unsupported by
evidence, and the President has ap.
proved his conclusions.
