Cedar County "knightss, in Advance OF
Indiana Democracy against the Union.
It is worthy of note that the sixth res.
olution passed by the Cedar county
Knights (alias Copperheads) is copied
from resolution previously passed by
the Democracy Of Indiana, as will be
seen by Mr.. Wright's speech. Our &C.
dar county friends (?) however, thought
the resolution not quite strong enough
and therefore made some addition con.
corning Observation-Disclosures pride" and
mississippi valley and also material
alteration as follows: the Indiana resolu.
ton reads, IT tcrefore we declare that
when We have exhausted every reasonable
effort for the restoration of the Union,"
&C., while our " chivalrous Knights"
wishing not to be outdone, say, "There.
fore we have exhausted every reasonable
effort" &c. As the latter was copied
from the former and there is an ellipsis
Of four rery material words, it could not
have been through mistake. THUS in
Indiana they only say they will be in
favor Of accession on certain conditions,
while they say here the time for seeding
from New England has come.

CoNPAKATIvE SUFFERING o. THE SoLpILEs OF
THE USIoS AND REEL AEgus Much has
been written and published in regard 10 the
suierinss and privations of soldiers Of the
Union armies, and it was to be supposed that
the process Of Transforming our hastily ga
thered leviss from Iaw recruits into reasoned
and disciplined bodies, would result in much
individual misery and death.
And yet. she Richmond correspondent of
the London Tinies speaks Of the comfortable
appointments of the Federal troops by the
side of the . rstterdemslion Regiments -
of the South. He Gays;
1t is strange thing 10 look at thoee men,
50 ragged, slovenly. sleeveless, without a su-
perflGous ounce Of flesh upon their bones,
with wild matted hair, in mendicantS' rags,
and to think, hen the little flag goes to the
front how the, ananddo fight. There is only
ono attitude III which | never should he
ashamed Of your seeing nay men, and that is
when they are lighting. These were Gen.
Lees words % me the first time ever saw
him they nave hecn confirmed hy every
other distingu cihcer in the Cynie'ieTacy.

POOR ragged men have attempted, and at

That Get. Butler was quite right in saying
that this rebellion was begui and carried on
to give landed aristocracy at the South rule
over the whole country is fully proved by
the following from late number Of the
Richmond Why:
We have committed many errors in cur tr8sl-
ment Of the Yankees. Not the least has been in
regarding them as something better than they
are They are by nature menials, and fitted
only for menial duties. They are in open and
fagrant instruction against their natural lords
and masters the gentlemen Of the South In
the exercise of their assumed privileges they =
port themselves with all the extravagant airs, the
insolence, the cruelty, the cowariice and love q
rapine, which have ever characterized the revolt
Of slaves. The former leniency Of their masters
only serves to aggravate the ferocity Of their
nature.
When they are again reduced to subiec;.on
and taught to know their place, We must take
care % put such trammels about them that they
viii never have an opportunity to play these
tricks again.
