From Our Special Correspondent

CENTRAL CTR, Juno 8, 1858.
The tact that the Copperheads were allowed
to hold a iubilation at Springfield upon the
18th ult., and that they were not molested,
has had it's effects, and Immediately upon the
adjournment Of that Convention steps were
taken to secure another gathering Of the sym
pathizers for the PARTICULAR benefit of Egypt.
o'Melveney, Sparks, Mace, Merritt, aud ''that
st1ibe'' generally, began to notify the Gitbfu1
Tint n grand convocation Of the " Iron
Hands," alias the E, g. C.'s, would be held at
Central City on July the 9TH. Messengers
were dispatched to the various "cast1es'' in
Southern Illinois, with strong appeals
to the memberships to be on hand
on that OCCASION, and by their num-
bers and their zeal, awe the loyal people and
strengthen the hands Of such seekers after
nartyrdom as ". XT. z. Sparks and o'Mel.
yeney.
With all this drumming It was expected
that an immense gathering would be there.
In this, however, they we're disappointed.
The aggregate Of men and women-oyer one
half being women-was 2,400. But all they
lacked IN numbers they made up in treason.

Union, Massac, Jefferson, Jaekton, Perry,
Washington, Bond and Fayette counties.

The Pirates Mt Portland.

These gentlemen are taking it very easy in
Fort PrtDle. As they have plenty Df money,
they order whateycr they think they lack,
and profess themselves tolerably contented,
speedily exchanged. On the subject Of their:
responsibility to law, various opinions are
afoat; hut the general idea is that they cau-
not be exonerated from the charge of piracy.
Their Vessel, the Archer, WAS not privateer
the Portland Courier says-in such legal
sense as to entitle them to lcuiency as prison
ers Of war.
: The same paper says that the ready story
told by the pirates Inns led many to distrust
the truth 6f their narrative, and that there is
great reason to doubt that the log book found
IN board the Archer is blind. The paper NJ
lulcd to further Gays that the affair at Port
land may hare been ruse resorted to by the
real commander Of the Tacony to detach Read
and his crew from that vessel to the Archer,
nj d send them along the shore to cut up their
de1ilish pranks, and establish the belief that
the Tacony is destroyed, just to throw the
ther scurch, and to enable the commander
again to commit his piracy upon our com-
1nerce, and that the craft reported as seen on
Saturday, supposed to be the Tacony, may
yet prove to be that identical vessel.
The dsyns of "Wednesday says that nine Of
the crew Of the cutter Caleb Gushing asked
and obtained thelr discharge on the ground
that they did not wieh to serve on the same
vessel with Bllsh aud two or three others OF
the cutters crew who showed the white
feather when the cutter WAS captured. Bllsh
even went 60 fir as to offer to take the oath OF
allegiance! But he was told that his services
would not be required. The three others
showed coHardice, and these men refuse to
associate with them; but soy they arc ready
to serve "Uncle Sam" at any time and on
any occasion, rs they always have bean. They
slate that there was on board ninety ,hrea
rounds Of Sc pound shot, and also some shells.
There was alao lot Of 12-ponnd shot aud
she'll, Ali this MAS concealed in an apartment
underneath the cabin, between the ward room
and the cabin, and that they refused to In
form the rebels Of the fact, ulihough pressed
to do so. There YVES also shot in the wings
on both sides Of the magazine.
When tho pirate, Lieut., Reed, stepped on
board tue Forrest City, on Saturday, he gave
his carpet bag to Capt. Liscomb, who gave 1t
to his mate ior safe keeping. In the excite
uent Of the moment It was Overlooked Until
| the boat returned from Boston on Tuesday,
Nhen Its contents were examined. Among
| Other documents, were found the instructions
| from Commander Mof1tt Of the Florida to
| Lieut. Reed, bond Of sl50, GOO taken from a
| Boston ship; also the papers Of The various
| vessels destroyed, aud other valuable papers
