head of small scouting parties, trying to am
buScade our boys, and leaving saucy messages
in writing for them at the houses on the neu-
trail ground. In one of the messages about a
month ago he offered $4,000 if one hundred of

The ARIsToCRAcY OF THE GUTTER.''-
Wilkes Spirit of the Times has spirited re.
view of The Copperhead Insurrection, of
which the opening paragraph is as follows:
Tine people have had full opportunity, dur
ing the last week. to test the real purposes of
the Peace party ! and to determine positively
to what interests these patriots belong. They
have had equal opportunity to observe what
elements compose the plastic material of that
faction, and to fix with certainty upon the
demagogues who are Immediately responsible
for its murderOus instruction. In horrid
reality, rising, as it were, from unknown
caverns in the earth, we, for the first time,
behold face to face the unclean crew by
which Mozart has subjugated our submits
sive population; and as we gaze upon its
horrid features, we droop our heads in unut-
terable shame, that such sordid, murderous,
miScreant litter should have so long imposed
upon us the conditions of a conquered race
That such hideOus beasts should be the dom-
neering element of civil life, and, ignoring the
worth and virtue OF the city, have the power
to thrust the vilest of their number into the
councils and municipal bureaux! That we,
who have lived till now in a sort of vague dis
dain of despotic Institutions, should have sunk
at last into an abject vassalage before an ars-
tocracy of the gutter, and, Tor the mere sake
OF federation, only be too glad to yield them
up our incomes, our honOrs, and the dlgnities
OF public rue!''

JoHN MORGAN, THE GUERRILLA CHIEF.-
The people Of Indiana and Ohio made short
shritt of John Morgan and his gang. On the
Sth of July the daring chief crossed over into
Indiana with nearly six thousand cavalry and
a small force of horse artillery. They had
given no notice of their coming, and no prep
aration had been made for their formal recep-
ton. But thirty thousand armed men sprang
up almost in night, before whom the invad.
ers fled into Ohio with the hope of cutting
their way to the river, and thence into Vir-
gna. Here they were met and surrounded
by another improvised army, broken into
fragments, and with the exception OF few
hundred, were captured. Pursuers were at
last accounts on the trail of the heet-footed
Morgan himself, with the expectation of cap
turing him before he reached the ''sacred
soil Thus ends the career of one of the
most audacious and successful freebooters in
the service of the rebelion-ends also the
last Of the bold invasions designed to transfer
the field Of conflict to northern soil.

only real pleasure of his life was found in the
knowledge of small kindnesses done to the
needy and those in adversely. The adventur-

further upon the mischief he has wrought.

CONVICTED OF HEREsY.-Ghe trial Of Rev.
Charles Beecher on an accusation of heresv,
which has been in progress some days at
Georgetown, has resulted in his conviction
The ecclesiastical court before which he was
tried embraced the representatives of fourteen
churches, and was presided over by Rev. Dir.
L. w. Dwight of Portland. 1t was charged
that the doctrines of Mr.. Beecher were notin
accordance with the faith once delivered to
the saints, and now generally held by the Or
thodox churches of New England, especially
with reference to the pre-eXistence of the ha-
man soul, the state OF souls after death, the
atonement, and Divine Sorrow. The council
advised his dsmission from the pastorate in all
elaborate report which was adopted by vote
OF sixteen to five. Two of the minority, Rev.
Henry M. Dexter and Rev. DIR. Edward
Beecher, entered protests against the decis-
ion. The vote was as follows-
YEAs-Rev. j. T. McCollom, Bradford, G.
Coggeswell, delegate; Rev. John Pike, Row
ley, John Cressey, delegate; Rev. Benz. r.
Allen, Marblehead, N, p. Sanborn, de legate;
Rev. c. E. Reed, Maiden; Rev. E. P. Mar
win, Medford, q. S. Wheelwright, delegate;
Julius A. Palmer, Mt Vernon church. Bos-
ton; Rev. E. w. Hooker, ID, delegate fro

church, Newburyport; Ezra Farnsworth, del

W. Barrows, Old South church, Reading, Ca.

NAYs-Rev. d. ID. Fisl1e, DID,, Bellevile
church, Newburyport; Rev. R. Campbell,
Fourth church, Newburyport; Rev H. M.
Dexter, Berkeley street church, Boston, b.
w. Williams, delegate; Rev. Edward Beech
er, DID, Galesburg, Illinois.
1t was admitted that Mr.. Beecher had been
very earnest and devoted pastor, and that
he had shown an eminently christian spirit
throughout the proceedings against him; and
he was earnestly defended by some of the
best members of his church. Moreover he
protested that he had never preached or be-
lieved some of the heresies imputed to him.
He admitted that he believed in the pre-ex-
istence of the human soul, belief nowise
likely to become dangerously prevalent.
There have been many ecclesiastical
councils held to regulate the matter
of belief in theological doctrines, but not
one, we believe, to enforce the practice
Of christian principles. There is Rev. Dr.
Lord president of Dartmouth college, who
defends slavery as just and divine institu-
ion. His heresy is a far greater outrage to
than Mr.. Beecher's belief in the

Drafted men will observe that, hereafter
when they report to the provost marshal, or
come to the surgeon to be examined with a
view to exemption for disability, they should
come ready either to go into camp, furnish
substitute, or pay the Communication money
There can be no furlough after they make
their appearance. As the order is ''peremp.
tory" the provost marshal must necessarily
obey it implicitly. Those who seek exemp-
ton for disability may fail to get it. There
fore they should provide for this failure. They
can furnish a substitute or pay the commuta-
tation money, after being examined. But, it
must be done at once, if done at all, for there
can be no furlough after the examination is
made. 1t is important that this matter should
be distinctly understood by every drafted man
in order that he may not subject himself to
Inconvenience or disappointment.
