sD We subjoin portions Of two let
ters from the army. The writer's of
each are, Or were, Democrats. Read:
We see a great deal in northern pa
pers about certain class called Cop
perheads. [ am sure they oyer-rate
their own Importance, either to infiu-
ence the citizen OF soldier. [ know
their course only serves to make the
army more united and determined to
fight on until the last vestige of tie last
rebel is extinguished, and they (the
Corperheads) are looked upon as cow
ardly enemies to our country, and will
be remembered by all who live to re-
turn. To them 20 day of retribution

T5~ Last Thursday night We ccle-
brated at Old Bob Quality's, the High
cockalorum of Point Baussc, where a
social cotiIIon party had assembled
We went in company with Elliott and
two other Dutchmcn, and aceat In on
our individual responsibility, after the
beasts were duly cared for. Every
body became familiar; the girls set
our feet in their pockets; one managed
70 rest our right foot on her shoulder
while dancing; they laid our cap care,
fully away, and then forgot where il
was deposited our skirts were lifted,
and fun was had generally. Fun that's
no word for it. 1t was everlasting en-
ioyment. Fun was written on the
forehead of everybody, from the mig.
ger boy in the cellar to the chamber.
maid in the garnet. The horses in the
barn whinnered "Fun;" the hogs grunt
cd it; the dogs barl1ed it, and the hens
cackled it. Uncle Robert seemed ex.
cessively delighted-to see others SC
ioyial. lie shook all over, like all agj
xsted barrel Of soap. He was as lively
and spruce as young schoolmaster.
Wei, VIC had jolly old time, .
splendid sapper, and an undisturbed
snooze on the fiddler's stand. After
all had departed except our fellow
Dutchmen, we sat down to oock-royaI
breakfast. The cock was young
chicken and nicely cooked. At the
table all were chuck full OF fun, wit
and ssyitIes.o 1t took us one hour and
a quarter to eat. We are full yet-too
full TO say more. We say, Old Bob,
when you have another dance, send us
word, and set Us down for nine chances.

New YORK, Sept 22.-The Post learns by
the arrival of the steamer Fulton, that the
preparations of Gen. Gilmore for Smelling the
city of Charleston were in a forward state,
and the Smelling can be undertaken at any
time. As evidence of the intentions of the
government this fact is significant, that the
Arago, on her recent trip, took to Gen. Gill
more eighty cases of shell containing Greek
fire. The iron clads were not firing, and
there is reason to believe that the navy will

The MUSICAL INsrITUTE.-Our readers, we
suppose, are not likely to forget the meeting
of this association, next week. The value of
well-conducted yearly gatherings, where there
is Il common interest, has been demonstrated
too often to need any argument. We think,
indeed, the experience of the institute itself
has shown their wisdom, and we look to gen.
eral and generous attendance this year, of all
its old friends, and of many new ones. We
have no right to suppose otherwise, when we
remember 1t is under the sanction of our Mo-
Fart Society, and directed by man of the
musical ability and unspotted reputation of
Prof. Baker. Our own pianist, Mr.. B. D.
Allen, is too favorably and too widely known
to need commentator from us. We assure
our friends who desire to spend four days in
increasing their musical proficiency, that they
can not do better than put themselves under
Prof. Baker, at the City Hall.

A New HOSE CARRIAGE. - Eagle Hose
Company, No 3, are rejoicing in new car
riage for their hose, which, for durability,
convenience, style, and finish, is not surpass-
ed by anything of the kind in the state. 1t is
built throughout in the most thorough and
workmanlike manner, being lavishly orna-
mented, both by the builders and the compa-
ny, the latter of which have spared no time or
expense to make it The thing, with which they
will ever be proud to prove to the citizens of
Worcester that they are true to their motto,
'Faithful and Fearless" That the honorable
board of engineers have seen fit to place in
their hands 50 nice structure, machine that
will add so much to the general appearance
of the department, is strong testimony IN IA
vor of the character and efficiency of the COM
pany. Too much cannot be said in favor of
our present "board," who have striven TO make
the Worcester fire department an institution
of which the city may justly feel proud.
Mr.. Alzirus Brown, their worthy chief, has
the satisfaction of knowing that he has not la
bored in vain to promote the fremen in the
estimation and respect of the community, as
the kindly demonstrations and cordial greet
ings fully testify whenever the department is
out, either for parade or on duty. To say
that the new carriage was manufactured at
the celebrated factory of A. Tolman s. Co., of
this city, is sufficient guaranty that the work
is done and reU done. The signal.lights, of
which there are two, are magnificent speci-
mems from the mandatory of Cary & Young
of Newark, N. j. They are heavy silver
plated, holding five panels of red, white and
blue glass. The bells are of a splendid make,
occupying the same arch with the signals, the
whole being surnounted by handsome brass
eagle, a contribution of the company, which
gives a fine effect.
The reel, which will carry from six to eight
hundred feet of hose, rests upon an arch in
such a manner that the carriage can be
turned in the narrowest possible space, being
decided advantage over the generality of
hose carriages.
The company will make their first appear
anoe with the new carriage, upon the occasion
of the annual drill to-day, and we bespeak for
them the same success that has attended them
upon former occasions. W.
