SMALL SPITE.-Tbe charge freely made by
the copperhead press, that the government. for
political effect. put in circulation The reports
Of the taking Of Richmond ard the re-croSsing
Of the Rappanannock by Gen. Hooker's army,
IS a fair specimen OF the manner in which they
are carrying on Their part Of the war against
IT, To suppose that the Government would
start falsehood which must inevitably be con
lradicted the next day, Is TOO absurd for belief
by any sensible man. The charge that it did
this for the purpose Of speculation is too base
for any one to utter, except lying, copper
head traitor
These reports were published by the Phila-
delphia EveniRg Bulletin. on the authority OF
what it claimed a. the latest new il had rereiv-
ed from the army. If anybody spseaiated. it
was probably the fellows concerned in that
sheet We don't believe that the President
is edi-or of that paper, nor that Secre tary
stanton and Gen. Halleck are interested in it
as Publishers. But we do believe that If they
should shut up the concern for telling those
lies. these same copperhead presses would cry
out against the act a an unconstitutional
abridgement Of the freedom of speech If the
Government should put stop to all the lies
that are told about it and its doings we fear
that it would not only have its hands full, but
that the carrying out OF such a policy would
materially trench upon the rights and immuni-
ties claimed by Northern rebels

BURNED DowN.-The Lansing Salt
Works have anticipated the boiling down process
BY burning down. This feat was accomplished
with entire success, early on Sunday morning
The works we're erected within the precincts Of
the saw-mill owned by Messrs. WOOdhouse and
Butler, situated just below the junction Of the
Cedar and Grand Rivers. The ERE is sup
posed to have caught from the forge, which was
put up inside the building, without proper pro
lection The flames were first discovered about
4 o'clock, A NJ bursting from the tower, aud
before any one reached the ground the entire
building was on fire. Only box of tools be
longing to the contractors was saved. The loss
to the. Company will be about three hundred
and City dollars.
The Company met on Monday evening, aud
determined to prosecute the work at once. The
depth already attained is about three hundred
feet. and the drilling was progressing with great
rapidity. Below the depth Of some fifty feet Of
gravel, the strata has been shale and sand rock,
alternate A spring Of beautifully clear, soft
water has been reached, which boils up TO the
surface with considerable volume aud force,
proving that Artesian wells of the best kind may
be obtained in our city.

VALUABLE DONATION We have the

Washington, Maeomb county, has donated 10
the State Agricultural College the valuable Her
oarium of her late husband, DR.. D. Cooley.
This collection of plants IS probably the largest
and most valuable in the West, and has but few
equals 10 this country. IL is especially rich in
our indigenous fora, ard contains a large coIlec
ton OF tropical, California, and Australian spe-
ees. Several exceedingly rare plants are rep
resented, few Of which are the only known
specimens. DR.. Cooley devoted to its collection
large portion Of his time for upwards Of twenty
years Many Of the plants were obtained by ex-
changes with DR.. Tory, W. S. SulIivsnt, DR..
Dewey, John Carey, and many other ceIebra.

A WEAK DEFESsE-The attempted de-
nial by the Journal, Of our statement concern
ing the speech made by Dir. Peck, before the
Democratic Association, seems 70 Us very
weak affair. II our statement is libelous, as
that paper asserts, Why don't the aggrieved par
~ seek the protection Of the courts, We sub
init, 10 all candor, that this is the only way 10
which Mr.. Peck can possibly clear himself from
the odium which attaches TO him. Il it lay in
his power TO disprove the statement we have
made, we believe be wolld make a sensible at
tempt to do so. No doubt he is sufficiently
ashamed Of his language, but to simply dare u
TO prove IL, is, under the circumstances, silly.
The intmaton Of the Journal that We have
