GENERAL LOGAN is not only one OF the
bravest and most capable officers in Gen
SraI Grants army, bot he has long been
one of the most influential public men in
Southern Illinois, part of which region
he represented in the last Congress. While
the army was before the enemy he did his
duty there, at the head of his division;
when Vicksburg was taken, and there came
a prospect of rest from the labor of siege
and march aud battle, General Logan re-
turned home, on furlough he had earned
OF long and devoted service-but only to
attack another enemy, the copperheads.-
This he is doing with great effect: he is
speaking to people who have long known
him; whose confidence he has; who are
proud of the reputation he has gained in
the field; and whose brothers and sOns he
has commanded, and often led into bat
tie. What he says is, therefore, received
with special attention, and his campaign
aRainat the copperheads aud peace men
st home is as vigorously conducted and
as successful as any of his attacks upon
the rebels.
General Logan is Democrat, aud be-
fore the war broke out he was for COM
promise; but when he saw the Southern
leaders reject all compromises, when he
found that they would have nothing but
violence and destruction Of the Union
then Logan resigned his seat in Congress.

the Iebellion; and he has been foremost II
every fight ever since.

ace, and distinguished himself at Fort Don

bravery; next he WAS made Major General
in command of a division; and now he

He has thAreputation of always lsGdi"
