The Seasons.

Spring is slow. 1t takes that blue-eyed
young lady weeks to get up respectable
show of greens, and before she has fairly
opened all the leaves, Summer takes the
business off her hands Summer, too,
loiters over her task of sYeetening and
painting the fruits, and tinging the har-
vest field with gold, and Autumn has to
take up and complete her unfinished
task. Nor is Autumn swift artist, for it
is not until mid October that she gives
the last glowing touches to the sylvan
scenery. But Winter is a fast old boy
Like Comus he has but to wave his hand
and the nerves of nature are all "chained
up in alabaster." All his signal clusters
of starry crystals are flung in myriads
from the mines of Upper Air, and when
he breathes on the floods they turn to
diamond plains. He is the Merlin of the
Seasons. Under his spells the landscape
lies an enchanted sleep, and the Maid of
the Mist, the fairy Thaw, though she
sometimes softens his hard moods and
moves him to tears, makes but brief
impression on his iron nature.

American Flag Torn Down by North
ern Traitors.

The DAYTON journal chronicles one of
the most outrageous acts of which an
American citizen could be guilty, as hav-
ing been perpetrated by meeting OF Cop
perheads in Centreville, Montgomery
county. \ meeting was called at the Bap-
tist Church to hear a couple of ministers
from Kentucky. Some of the Union
members not having much faith in the
good intentions of the reverend gentle
men, concluded to test the spirit of the
meeting by raising the Stars and Stripes
over the bnilding. The flag was put up
in the early part of the day. When the
meeting was gathering-there being but
"a few women present-two men, named
Abner Stevens and George Carmony, pro-
ceeded to the spot, tore the flag do'0n from
the pole, and bundliHg Il up, took IL into Tie
church and put II into the store. This act was
applauded by some of the feminine But
ternuts present, while several Union la
dies left the church, mortified that such
an outrage could be perpetrated IN broad
daylight in a free country.
The Dayton Empire, Vallandigham's
organ, does not pretend to deny the state
ment, but presume to excuse 1T upon the
frivolous charge that the flag was put up
as a personal insult, and as such, was torn
down. The Empire does not help the
cause of its pets by any such excuse
Any man who feels insulted at having the
Stars and Stripes raised over him, IS
vile traitor to his country and his apollo
gists are no better. Dare to call them
selves ilas1tltsd by the American flag =
Why, their poor dastardly souls are of
infinitely less importance than one shred
of that glorious banner.-ClerelaHd Leader.

prospects, and continue to us your aid.
The soldiers are with you. When we
took an oath to "bear true allegiance to
the United States of America, and serve
them honestly and faithfully against all
their enemies and opposers whatsoever,
and observe and obey the orders of the
President of the United States" &C., &C.,
we meant what we said, and to-day mean
it, having no inclination to be branded
as periurers before the world.
We cannot, dare not, must not compromise
Compromise with treason! .-
1t would be compromise with inlq-
uity, a compound of heaven and hell"
The coming generation would curse US,
and our name would be by-word OF OBJ
loquy among the nations. While one
traitor lives, we viii oppose him. No
compromise. No peace!
Retract not one iota, surrender not one
inch, but press onward earnestly. fear
lessly, energetically, till this great strug-
gle shall end in glorious triumph.

Copperheadism.

Mr. Clement Vallandigham, member
/ of Congress from Ohio, made a speech
last week, in which he avowed himself
4" Copperhead." Certain editors nearer
home have likewise rejoiced IN the title
1t becomes interesting 10 inquire what it
means, and how 1t came to be applied to
class of politicians
\ copperhead," according to the
American CyclOpedia, is 8. a venomous
serpent. the head is thick. the neck
| contracted, and its scales smooth there
are no rattles, the tail being short. near
| the hanks are rounded dark blotches 1T
prefers dark and moist places. 1t gives
no warning Of Its proximity. feeds on
mice, small birds. etc, and seldom at
tacks man...it is slow and clumsy in its
motions, and a very slight blow sutfices to
kill it...It is also called chunk head
and deaf adder"
1t cannot be denied that the analogy
between this loathsome creature and the
mean, sneaking politicians who are now
distracting the Northern mind with cries
of peace, are quite striking. Like the
copperhead, the peace party are venom
Gus " in their attacks on the nation; like
it, their " head Z" is undoubtedly thick
like it, their . neck and reach are ''con-
tracted." Their scales, !" too, are
'smooth," and they have no ''rattles" to
warn the honest traveller of their ap-
proach. Like the copperhead, their
character is {" stained by dark blotches,"
and, like it, they prefer dark places" to
the light of day. Like that sneaking
reptile, their prey is small, feeble crea-
lures, and they seldom venture to at
tack man" If we add that our politi-
cal copperheads, like their reptile type,
are so ''slow and clumsy in their motions"
that they deserve the additional cogno-
nina of Chunk-heads and - Deaf
adders," and that " a very slight blow "
makes an end of them, we shall have
made the analogy complete. 1t IS credit
able to the discernment of our Western
fellow citizens that they so quickly real
lied the resemblance between the cop
perhead snake and the peace politician,
and baptised them by one common ap-
pelation.
We shall not waste time in arguing
with the Copperheads. Men who are ca
pable of justifying the rebels and espOus-
ing their cause, when the blood of some
member of almost every Northern family
reddens Southern soil, and the bones of
Northern soldiers are worn as ornaments
by Southern women, are not likely to be
convinced by argument, or to be pervi-
Gus to anything short Of q bayonet
thrust.
But one suggestion we will make. If
Mr.. Vallandighan, or any OF his fellow
copperheads, will visit any large camp of
loyal troops, either in the East or in the
West or in the South, and will, in pres
ence of the soldiers, express the senti-
ments they have uttered at Newark, New
York, and elsewhere; and if, without
the protection of the generals and pro
vost marshals, whom they so heartily
abuse, they succeeded, after delivering
their speech, in making their escape
alive, and without coat of tar and
feathers, we shall agree that Copperheads
may fairly be tolerated. Our soldiers are
anxious to have the challenge accepted.

A Fortunate Speculation.

Nor Wester, the New York correspon-
dent of the Boston Post, relates the fol-
lowing incident of one of the fortunate
speculations of the day:
In the summer of 1861, young man
who happened to have $40, 900 burning in
his pocket, but whose fears counseled
him to keep out of the usual channels of
trade, called on one of our heavy ship
ping merchants, who is also president of
a city bank, and asked his advice as to
how to use his money. The merchant
suggested his investing in purchase of
tar, the article at that time selling at on
ly one dollar barrel, with every pros
pect of soon being on the advance. The
young man took the advice, bought ten
thousand barrels of tar, and stored it for
a rise. After keeping it until last fall he
concluded to realize on his investment,
and sold it all out at $40 barrel, or forty
times its original cost, receiving his origi-
nal capital of $4,000 and the slight accu-
mutation of 100000 as the dividend
thereon.
