Union Meeting at Wilton.
-..,. WILTON. Feb. 4th, 1868

DEAR JOURNAL To let our fellow-citizens
know that Wilton is not asleep in this hour
of our country's peril, I beg leave to inform
you that we had last night rousing and en-
thusiastic Union meeting at this place. Not
withstanding the cold weather, which was
feared would be an impediment, the large
Methodist Church, the use ofwhich was kind
ly rendered by its members for the occasion,
was densely crowded.
A very able and patriotic address was de.
livered by VIM. F. Davis, ESQ.,, Of your city.
His speech throughout was of q purely patri-
otic character, discarding all partyism, and
urging the people to rally to the support Of
the Government in establishing the Union
and thejsuprenacy of the laws. It was alto,
gether such as no true American citizen could
object to. Thanks wse voted Mr.. Davis fo1
his able address, and at the close of the meet
ing committee of three was appointed to
draw up Constitution for the purpose of or
ganizinga Union Club, to which all who are
opposed to all schemes to weaken the Gov.
ernment in putting down this infamous rebel.
lion are cordially invited. sf a,-t .ra /.
The motto of the Wilton people is, The
Union, now and forever" WILTON.

1sHED.-The Keithsburg Qll.) O6seruer, Of
the 29th ult., says that on the night of the
23d two men named Charles and John W.
Carter, Gather and son. and another man
named John Somers, left that place for their
home on the Iowa side of the river. They
were all drunk and had two jugs of whisky
with them. About 8 o'clock next morning
the two Carriers were found frozen to death,
lying in askiff which had foated ashore about
six miles below Keithsburg. Somers was
leaning against a tree, his feet frozen and his
body so benumbed that he could scarcely
speak. According to his statement the party
fell into drunken stupor in the skiff, from
which Somers was awakened by the skif
striking against the ice along shore. When
he discovered their danger he tried to arouse
his comrades, but all in vain. They slept the
sleep of death. Thus are two more victims

Copper,,eads VS.. soldiers.

We call the attention of our readers in the
army, as well as those at home, to the follow
ing little bit Of history, recorded in this pres
ent year Of our Lord. In the House Of Rep
resentatives of Indiana, on the 4th day Of
February, one "Mr. Casson called up Joint
Resolution, previously introduced by himself,
to amend the Constitution, in order that SOL
diers out of the State may be allowed to vote. "
The Resolution was laid on the table, by u
strict party vote, forty-two Copperheads
voting aye, and thirty-three Union men voting
nay. What considerate creatures are these
Copperheads- patriots surely. By the
way, what kind of soldiers must they be, who
worship at the shrine Of the Copperheads
and swear by their press? Copperheads are
nervous creatures over the soldiers VOTE
Won't let them vote! ........

That the tory leaders, all over the North,

Great Britain or Of JEFF. Davis. The time is
