A Copperhead Conductor.
"7o the Editors Of the Sunday Dis
patch.-Riding up Pine street this day,
found the conductor had on his coat a
Copperhcad emblem. His car was No. 2.
Rather than ride on the same limo |
walked fourteen squares. If this is the
character of all the conductors on the line
it is well the people should know it.

t copy the above as an Illustration of
Abolition bigotry and Intolerance. The
writer Of this precious piece Of proscriptive
literature evidently desires to c'usc the dis
charge of the conductor in question, SIM
ply because he is Democrat. If this
conductor wore medal, or device, demo-
ting him in favor of servile insurrcction
in the South, and the butchering of the
women and children of that rogion-a'@
GWrt--the writer Of the above would
doubtless be very willing to ride in any Of
the cars on line on which he has reason
to believe a single Democrat is employed
as conductor !
This is the sort Of men now claiming to
be friends of liberty and ofthc Union. 1t
is men of this stamp who are now govern
ing the country, or what is left Of it. y
beautiful chance of freedom we shall
have if they can establish their principles
as permanent rule of government
venture to say that the "Resident on
the Line" OF the railway mentioned, dare
not give his name to the public, lest he be
prescribed in a business way, as he wished
to prescribe the "Coppcrhead Conductor"
He is evidently sneaking coward, who
while quite willing to profit by the pat
ronage of the people he calls cooper,
heads" skulks behind nor ne yl,tme to
stab poor Conductor who differs from
him in political sentiment.

A New REMEDY FOR SMALL PoX.-
The Saraccnia pupure0, or Indian cup
a native plant of Nova Scotia, which wa
mentioned some time ago as being the spe
cifc used by the Indians against tn
smallpox, bids fair to realize the cxpec
tatons entertained by medical men of it
efficacy. In letter addressed to til
American Medical Times, Frederic W
Morris, Resident Physician Of the Hall
fax Visiting Dispcnsary, states " hat thi
saracenia, a papaveraceous plant, vii

very seldom is scar left to tell the stor
of the disease. If either vaccine or var

of The saracenia, they are deprived of the
contagious properties. SO mild is tt
