DANGER OF TALKING SECEsH TO THE
SoLDIERs.-Last night, after the soldiers had
been quartered at the old City Hall, and while
their friends were gathering about them, Mr..
George w. Latham commenced talking COZ
perhead Notwithstanding the war and
the administration. This was more than the
soldiers could stand, and they gave the man
notice that he had two minutes time to leave
the hall. At the expiration of the two min
utes, there being no disposition on the part of
the copperhead to leave the hall, the soldiers
made rush at him, and he went down the
stairs to the street in more than double quick
time. We think Mr.. Latham has learned the
lesson, that copperhead doctrine does not suit
the soldiers.

Hardee is at Wartroce, and Bragg at Bell
Buckle. They say it is Breckenridge who is
at Manchester, and speak Of him as command

like exaggeration. Deserters say the rebel
commanders talk loudly aud boldly of their
intention to drive Rosecrans. out of Tennessee.

AccIDENT.-Among the crowd at the Bos-
ton Depot last evening, to witness the arrival
of the Maine 10th, some fifty persons esconsced
themselves on car loaded with lumber, which
was standing on the track. Their weight
broke the stakes of the car which confined the
lumber, and it spread, falling to the ground
and taking the men with it. 1t was found
that many were injured by 1t; but on clearing
the lumber it was found that only two men
had suffered. One ofthem, a man named Nc
CURE, had one of his legs broken in two plac-
es. He was placed in carriage and convey
ed to his residence. The other, whose name
we could not learn, was severely bruised
though it is believed no bones were broken.
