Is LIMBO" The way of the transgressor is
hard is a declaration that contains more of
truth than poetry. Everybody in these parts
knows Griffin Paddock. formerly resident of
White Oak in this county. He has always had
the reputation of being a slippery bird, but he
was recently caught in one of his tricks that
will put veto upon his liberty for a short sea
son. 10 is represented that short time ago he
enlisted in one OF the regiments and after t.
ceiving the bounty, evacuated the camp and
committed the same act a second time. few
days ago Sergeant Wheaton received orders
from the Government to arrest him and return
him to headquarters, which he did after short
scctiie, in which be was obliged to hiring his re-
yolver 10 his aid. Grif refused to go, and was

OCEs FIELD AETELLERy-SEC
sHTY FOR ITS REORGANIZATION.

The constant complaints of officers in the
field Of the untruswOrthiness of the Field Bat
teries in their commands, would seem to indicate
the necessity for reorganization of the SYSTEM
or, at least, close and scrutLZing inquiry as TO
The causes of these complaints. From every quarter
of the country. who're our armies have been
engaged in actual conflict, reports reach US
constantly of artillery burst or damaged in ac-
ton, or on the march, Of delay in arriving on
the field, of important positions lost through
difficulty in moving The guns on account OF
broken carriages &c, and Of guns captured
by the enemy from the same cause. We learn
upon inquiry that, while changes have been
made in the field guns, whereby tho weight
size and length have been increased, and the
charges of powder and prcjectiles proportions.
bly, enlarged. tho old feld-carriages, intended
for totally different lind Of gun, have been
retained in the service. The consequence of
this thoushtcss policy is, that necessary
elevation cannot be obtained, and tho re.
coil il 20 great that the carriage has not
sufficient strength to reast it, and is disabled
or broken in n large majority Of cases. Fur
tbermorc, these carriages are so Ill contrNed
that il ia almost impossible 10 repair them
upon tAe field, so that 81 the slightest accident
occurs TO Guy important part. it renders them
for the time being unfit for service. II Is this
kind OF economy which parayzes the most I'M
portaut arm Of our military service.
Il Is asserted also, that large proportion OF
the proeclies furnished have been so unscientiic-
ally designed, and so imperiectly constructed,
that tiey would have been condemned and ut
terry rejected by any Ordnance Department in
the world but ours. Not only are these
worthless projectiles accepted, and vast guam.
titles ordered and paid for, but guns ore
adopted by the Department of calibers differing
essentially from all other guns in service, but
especially adapted for the use of said prcjec.
tiles, which are, in point of fact, mere shams,
of littlo harm to tho enemy, bat ottentimes
very fatal to our own men, from their liability
to tumble end over end, and to burst
before reaching their proposed destina-
ton.
There is something radically wrong in the
system of education practiced in our Military
Academy at West Point. But little is taught
there except theories relating to duties in the
field, and little qF nothing that 10 calculated

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
VI. NIaretzck,s ColnpnnY.

The attractions Of the Opera continue undimin'
ished. Last night again. an overlooking audience
attended the representation Of Linda. The distrbu-
ton of characters was as follows Linda, Madame
Msdora; Pierotto, Nile. Sulzer; Carlo (his first sp.
rsaiance in America, signor Minetti Antonio, Sig
nor Belliri; Prefetto, Signor Bachi; Marquis
Boisldeury, Sgnor Bachii Madeline Nine. Fisoh.
er: Intendente, Sgnor Rubio.
The opera passed of capitally. The music is not
the bos. of the charming Donizet and more, there
fore, devolyed on the artists to make their effects
than when every strophe sparkles with memorable
melodies. We would particularly cite the lovers
duet in the first act, where there was the
duplicate magnetism Of beautiful melody
admirably Sang by Madame Medori and the
new tenor-Signor Mnetti. This young artist
ard he is very young-so distinguished himself sub.
seouently in the Ronan:a, that he again gained
what an artist most prizesa general hearty encore
His success. therefore, was complete; adding one
more distinction to the brilioncy of the present
operate season. Connoisseurs say that bis Etr'H''
in La Sonnam6ula Is admirable; and we shall have
that ia due course. The Prima Donna, MadaW
Medori, rendered tho heroino's song and action with
her accustomed oxuberan life and earnestness, and
with the effect which has marked ali her charsc
terizetions. The other artists duly app!aaded.
The opera is now fairly launched in the tide q
success; aud the season promises-maugrs the war
the horrd war, to DO the most brilliant known TOD
years. The lascivious lutte appears TO harmonN
well with the wrinkled front of grim.visaSed Wa

THE NEW-JERSEY COpPEgNEAD IDS
FRIGHTENED.

The Copperhead majority Of the New-Jersey
Legislature are frightened by the demonstration
of popular Indignation which their reasonable
purposes and acts have evoked. Having put
themselves on record Is enemies to their
country by the infamous Peace resolutions
recently passed-having undertaken to arm the
State against tho Nation by putting money
and troops into tho Governors hands for
resistance to the enforcement Of the National
M,litia law-having in oil ways declared their
sympathy with the Rebellion, and their pur.
pose to oppose all MEASURES meant to crush ~,
they now undertake TO obli;erate their Own
record, recall their own words, deny their
intentions, and persuade The people that they
ara not the active allies of Dir. Jefferson
Davis.
The Senate and Assembly have just passed n
preamble and two resolutions, alleging that the
Republican party for partisan purposes has
songbt to create the belief that the Ncw-Jvr
seq Copperhcads meant to resist tie Militia
law by force; declaring that there 10 no eSl-
deuce OF any such purpose, " ana that all
Efforts, by whatever means attempted, to
strengthen political party by assuming that
thelr opponents intend 10 in1ugurate civil war,
ara fraueht With danger 10 the peace OF tnA
State" ard finally proclaiming
That tho people .. hew.Jeney ere ia~ebdins' C.a-

Very cleycrly done, but If anybody doubted
that there was Copperhead in tie grass,
the question was promptly settled Mark the
utter and shameless dishonesty OF the men who
concocted theso resolutions.
An amendment was offered to insert after
the word "baot-box the word only" so
that the resolution would pledge the people Of
New jersey to look to the courts and TO the
ballot-box only for redress. That amendment
was voted down! The co.ardly traitors who
did it meant only TO adopt resolution which,
on the face OF it, should seem to affirm their
loyalty but they refuse to make their pledge
binding and efiectual. If such men do not re-
sist the draft, it will be for no better reason
than their lack Of courage. Now, as 10 the
Revolution, New-Jersey IS earning reputa-
ton for being the chosen home Of Tories aud
Traitors.
Nevertheless, tho fact that it was deemed
necessary 10 attemp. this imposition, is evidence
Of the fear that exists in the Copperhead
camp, thst they cannot carry even the people
of New-Jersey with chem. They viii not need
10 wait long to witness the end Of the conspi.
racy which they arc wicked enough TO plot, but
lack courage to proceed with. BY all means
let these worthless have al the rope they want.

News from the West comes irregularly,
fragmentary, and dijointed. The latest, at
this writing, from the Yazoo represents that in
the late engagement the Chillicothe was tenn.
porarily disabled by having her portfolio doors
so battered that they could not be used. Bat.
terry Wilson, land.work erected BY our men
had been abandoned and the guns shipped
Our troops were acting on the defensive.
Gen. Quimbys division was on the COldwator
on the Doth; the guerrillas along all tho rivers
were troublesome. The monitor Lafayette
was said TO be in the Yazoo above HaiDes's
Bluff. There was rumOr that the Bluff had
been evacuated, but it was not credited.
"Stirring news was expected" Further and
later official dispatches say that five iron
clads are doubtless ere this ut iazoo
City; Gen. Saermans troops are following
as fast as possible. Of the movements Of Ad-
miral Farragat We have news to the Goth.
His boat, the only one that passed the Port
Hudson batteries. was then at Warrington, a
town on the Mississippi about 10 miles below
Vicksburg. A dispatch of yesterday from
Nashville says that FORESTS Rebels on that
morning captured 300 Of our mon, only miles
from Nashville; that our men made but a
feeble resistance. The Rebels captured con-
siderable property. Gen. G. c. Smith pursued
them, as soon as he heard OF tie affair, and
recap!ured the wagons and ammunition. Meet
ing heavv force he wa, compelled to destroy
the property no fell back, was re-enforced,
and again assumed tho offensive, but the
Rebels were of. Oar loss was one officer and
10 men of Smiths force; the Rebels lad about
10 killed nDd wounded and lost 80 prisoners.
p. S.-We have dispatch e a, M say
ing that Admiral Farragut's whole fleet is
above Port Hudson.

Knowing what we do Of the indictments ard

A noble example of dsinterested patriotim
has just been given by Col Friedrich Heck.r
Of Illinois. Many prominent citizens of Nj
souri, and Illinois had signed petition to IL
President, asking him to appoint Hecker. WI
has raised two regiments for the war; and
according to the most competent judges has
shown himself an able military officer, as Bris.
adler. General. AS soon as Hecker heard of Il
hs addressed from bis sick bed in PHILADELPHIA.
q letter to Senator Trumbull, who had bee,
asked to present the petition, praying him not
to present the petition to the President, as hs
did not wish to become General before
having earned q Generals epausts upon tia
field OF battle, and that he was, especially.
unwilling to owe promotion in the army to
political motives.
Col. Hecker is one Of the most respected.
and the mos. influential Of the German citizens
Of the United States. He is an old warrior
for the cause Of freedom. In Germany. before
the year Is4s, to was regarded as one of tho mos>
effective political orators Of the Liberal party.
During the revolution OF lSi3 he was one Of
he bends of the republican party and the 70.
publican movement Since h;s arrival ia
The United States he Las lived a retired
life, as farmer, in Illinois. but like all the
other prominent Germans who took leading
rart in the movements OF lS4S. he has ardent
y exerted his influence for spreading the polit-
zeal principles of the Republican party. At
Tho last Presidential election, be was choea
eectOr at large FOR the State of Illinois. Since
the outbreak of the Rebellion few men have
shown 4 more ardent enthusiasm for the Union
aud the overthrow Of Slavery than Hecker and
none can be more hated than he by the Gss.
man Copperheads. OF the purity Of his char.
,cter no has given another proof by bis letter

against the Connecticut Copperbead' last even
ing ct Stamford. We give his speech in full
in other columns. 1t is perhaps the ablest
exposure of the absurdity of the Copperhead
hiss of peace which has yet been made
from the Democratic point of view. He was

full and logical speech.
