The Portage Register publishes letter
from Capt. OHRYsrIE CT The Eleventh Wis
consin- He says OF the recent auti-cop-
perhead resolutions adopted by the regi-
ment:
believe the resolutions express the
ieciiegs OF every man in the regiment
he resolutions were drafted by Col. Har-
ris, Capt. L. 81. Whittrssey. and Can't. D.
Lincoln, the two former lifelong demo
Gratis but not O.. the Connerhead stripe
they believe that the trne wav to deal
wiz ''S .sors, either north or south, is with
steer and lead; and believe that 80 per
lent. OF the army hold the same views. |
tell you the stories that some black hearted
scoundreIs and traitors are circulating,
that the army is demoralized and mutt
nous-that the soldiers are anxious for
peaco upon any terms, and that assertions
are frequent and numerous, are lies. The
army never was in better state of disci-
pline than at present; never more conf
dent of their ability to whip the rebels at
any and all times, or more willing to try
1t. 1t is true they would rejoice ct the
return of peace, but they want it upon the
same terms that they ask ed twenty months
ago-the return of the rebels to their al
legiance, and the restoration of the author
ity OF the government over the whole
country. They enlisted to fight for such
terms and will not willingly accept any
others. l know whereof speak when
say that the s.rmy OF south eastern Missouri
man or set Oh men who accept or propose
any other terms.
One FRENCH FULLER, a soldier in she
2lst, who went from Fund du Lao, having
heard that be was reported at home as be,
ing all right as democrat, and in fact 8
copperhead, writes letter to his brother
the following extract from which is pub
lished in the Fond du Lac Reporter:
"Don't for moment suppose that
want to come home bad enough to wish
tor compromise or an armistice. If the
Northern coaoard1y pups and traitors
should succeed in getting an arm!stice OF
dishenorable compromise, should be
willing to serve my three years out, II il
would take as long as that, in annihilatine
| the miserable copperheads from off the
face OF the earth. And l believe thai
would be the popular sentiment of the
army. 1t the Northern traitors could only
see with what disgust Union soldiers LOOK
| upon their acts and words, | honestly be
lieve, as hardened as they must be, they
| would be ashamed of themselves and re-
| pent, or else die with fear. If you Union
men don't rise and clear the cowardly
| Northern traitors out we will do it for yor
as soon as we finish the Southern traitors
