and their character. They say that our m1li-
tin won't be able to stand two yolteys OF fmus-
kerry, and that they are not afraid Of as many

plenty Of Copperheads who furnish them all
the information they want, and point out to
them the places where goods are hidden.

FREE SPEECH AMONG THE nEH-
ELS.

If the Copperheads and rebel sympa~
1hisers were treated to aittle Of the kind
of medicine the rebels visit upon loyal
Union men at the South, we should have
less blatant treason among Us. The mere
expression Of Union sentiments has cost the
lives Of thousands Of liberty loving pa
triots at The South. And yet these cut
throats are the special pets Of our Copper
head fraternity. All succeeding ages viii
stand aghast at the horrid crimes Of this
rebellion, when once its history is fully
written.
We have before us q record Of the pro-
ceediugs before r, S. Downing, Justice Of
The Peace in the county Of Benton, Arkan-
sas, in which the main points Of the testi-
mony against Franklin Snuffer are given.
The document, dated Nov. 80, 1881, wss

!. When Gen. Rpsecrans with his army
set out from Murfreesboro, every one ex-
/. pected to hear Of the utter annihi1ation Of
: Bragg. The army Of fthe latter was on the
retreat. It had been weakened By drafts
to reinforce Johnston and Lee, and seemed
an easy prey to our advancing forces. On
the other hand, the army pf the Cumber-
land had completely recovered from the
effect. Of the Murheesboro fight The long
months Of rest had been improved in thor
ough organization. The corps were
strengthened, and the cavalry rendered
{ c.sthiH more efficient, by the active and we'll
directed labors Of the gallant Turchin.
. The men we're in fine spirits, eager and
longing for the fray. The expectant hour
:. arrived. Bragg's army commenced a re-
treat, and Rosecrans' army, like an impa-
:. tent hound, slipped its leash and dashed
onwards, confident of being IN at
the death. But Bragg slips away from
them, and now interposes the breastworks
of Chattanooga between himself and ou1
!; advancing columns. Two parts Of Rose.
: Grams deagn were accomplished-the
possession Of the gaps which separate the
:. Ealleys Of Stone and Duck Rivers, and the
turning Of the enemy's line Of fori6ea-
tions along the latter stream and his posi-
ton at 6helbyyi1le.
But there was q third step Of vital impor-
tance, and that was the occupation Of Tul-
-lahoma while Bragg was still ut Shelby
vile. This failed, and the correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Gazcth assigns some
most excellent reasons. 1st Tie delay Of

:: Cook IN driving the enemy through Lib
erty Gap on the Wartrace road, when he
should have possessed himself Of the north
e1n mouth Of the passage and made the
enemy believe there WAS our main point Of
attack. T.
The rebels then concentrating at the other
mouth ot the gap would not have fallen back
On 6heltySi1le ata1l, and notwithstanding the
eluggtsh movements Of Crittsnden On the left,
: ne might still have time to possess ourselves
Of Iallahoma previous to B1sgg's at1iYl

n CHEAT ERRIL ESCAPED.
The nation has escaped two great perils,
and it ishard to say which was the greater
LIST. The capture of Washington and Bal
timore and the occupation OF Maryland
and Southern Pennsylvania, BY the rebel
army. ID, The recall of the Grave-digger
of the Chiclsahorniny to the head Of the
amy. The latter may safely be considered
4he greater, as it included the former as one
of its results-
II the President had yielded to Copper
head pressure and clamor after Lee entered
Pennsylvania, and had placed General
Mcclellan in command, his first step would
have been to tall back behind the Susque-
banna, 60 to digging entenchments and
calling for reinforcements. Washington
and Baltimore would hare been aban-
doped, to the rebels as indefensible, and
MARYLAND would have been evacuated.
On the north side Of the Susquehanna
he would have begun calling for more in
fantry, artillery, cavalry. and baggage
1aIticularly baggage, and it. is doubtful
whether he would have moved forward a
step before winter ret in. One thing Is
cetain, he would no more have thought
Of marching in search Of the enemy with
in three days Of his appointment, with
the fragments Of thearmy Of the Potomac,
and giving battle at Gettysburg, than Of
walking into his camp fires and deliberate
II roasting himself to death.
Our readers 1eco1lect that when he was
recalled, eleven months ago, to replace
Gen. Pope, that he advised the evacuation
Of Washington and its surrender to the
rebels; that with an army one-third larger
than the rebel force, he consumed twelve
..days in crawling up the Potomac twenty
eight miles, and that afterhe had 1angaidly
fought the battle Of Antietam, he refused
to follow up the rebel retreat, refused after
Bardst to pursue them, and lay on the north
side Of tue Potomac with IN armT Of 1000
men for two months Of magnificent CAM
paien weather, ,dningn notllingb but disobeying
orders, consuming rations, multiplying bag
gage, and calling for more reinforcements'
The reason OF the Coppe1head clamot
for his appointment to the head OF the
army, is as transparent as pane OF glass.
1t was because it was known TINT he would
not boldly and vigorously attack the rebels
that every Copperhead sheet and leader
raised a simultaneous call, for bis re
placement at the head Of the army. They
believed that our troops once Withdrawn
to the north side Of the Susquehanna
with the National Capitol in the hands d
the rebels, and southern Pennsylvania and
Maryland abandoned to their arms, thai
our Government would be driven to con
Guiding disu,ion peace with the Confed
crates. That was the reason they crief
out with one voice for the "Grare-digger O
the Chickahominy" to be placed in com
mand Of our troops. Thank heaven, th'
country has escaped that fearful peril. LIE

perhcads.
The Harrisburg correspondent Of the N. T.
Times relates the following Incidents Of tho
rebel inYasion:
AwARNIsio TO coPrEAHEADs.
George Booker, State Senator, rho lives at
Pagestown, about nine miles from Harrisburg,
has been visited BY his friends from Dixie.
He is known as one Of the most violent Cop
perhends In the Legislature He Was the lead
tr in the movement to forbid Senator Wright
and Andy johnson from speaking in the Cap
ftol last winter, and has neFer made any CON
cealment Of his hostility to the war against
the rebellion, md lis 81 mpatflfes with the
South. When he heard the rebels were COM
ing, he said he did not cara-they we're gen
tlencn, and respected priyate property. They
collected In front Of his house, and he came
out md made little speech. He said, $50 I
I'm informed from several sources,) that he
sympathizsd with them, that the rebellion
was justified and the var unjust, that it was
all the Abolitionlsts, DC, DC, &C., in the
usual style Of the Copperheads. Wheleupon
the rebels 1m1nedh'ely proceeded to give him
benefit. They took all his horses and cattle,
all the flour and grain from his mill, which Is
large one, and was, unfortunately for him,
very well stocked, and, In fact, "cleaned him
out" most completely. 30 much for Buck
iugham.
HThe amount Of havoc committed by the
rebels In the various towns through which
they hare passed Is represented By the citI-
ztns to be immense. They took whatever
they wanted, and when 80 disposed, offered
in payment Confederate scrip. A boot and
shoe dealer in Mechan1cshnrg was completely
cleaned ont Of his entire stock, aud all he had
to ehoW, for 1t was $40o0 in worthless rebel
currency At Carlisle the people were made
to furnish rations to 1900 men. As would be
naturally supposed, It did not take long to IT,
duce the supply Of provisions III TINT place to
small Quantity ALI the horses, cattle,
sheep and sHine in q vast section Of country
have been led away or slaughtered. It is re-
lated that . Coppefhead resident Of Mechan.
icsburg, who has heretofore been loud In biz
assertion that the rebels we're chiEalrous, and
would never think OF disturbing private prop
erty, Was especially sought after BY them, and
Ills house and furniture damaged to q consid
trable extent, His neighbors have an ides
that has learned to distinguish the differ
erce between his friends and foes. If the
rebels have only served all Copperheads they
have come across in the aame manner, tht
loyal people will be grateful to them. Thert
a,e d frW Of this contemptible race Of outcast!
Tho continue to live and po1Iute the atmos

but the despiEed Of the open enemy.

rains, and well nigh impossible roads,
absolutely prectudea rapidity Of advance,
and it is almost miracle that they did
not meet with Red Sea overwhelming.
Was McCook to blame2 His victory at
the Gap was certainly an important one,
even though it may have defeated the
general plan; but censure in this case must
he withheld until we know whether he
obeyed instructions. Until the exact Of
ders Of Gen. Rosecrans are known, Nc
Cook at least stands before the country
the hero Of victory which, We fear,
stood in the way Of still greater victory.
