the drug store, but died in few minutes .
From Oh accounts, he has been with the
company only a few weeks. A letter was
found on his person, purporting to have
been written by HE wife, signed "Rosan>
nah Smith" living in New York, and
from it, it would appear that he had a
family Of children.
An inquest was held over the body by
Justice Shugert, after which it was decent,

company generously paying the expenses.
B1s"lt seems strange indeed that the
Loyal %Leaguers, should furnish themselves
with a new name again, and at the same
time by way OF deri5ion, call democrats
"Copperheads." But whom the latter ac>
cept the title and wear this old badge of
Liberty, they at once construed it into
'disloyaI practices" We understand that
the instructions to the Provost Marshalls
is to tear them from the bosom of any
who are found wearing them.
The word liberty is no doubt a terror to
the present evil doors, and this word having
been removed from the new cent coin the
Inarshalls are instructed 10 remove the

This is in strict keeping with that class of
Politicians who for the past twenty years
have been preaching the doctrine Of

THE PEAcE MoyEMENT.-The mass>meet>
ing in favor OF peace, that was held in
New York last week, was, from all ac'
counts, the most formidable demonstra.
ton that ever took place in that city,
Fernando Wood, former Mayor of the city,
and now member OF Congress, has the
credit of instigating this movement. The
speeches and resolutions take the ground
that peace and reunion by the sword is a
demonstrated failure, and that rs sensible
people, we should how demand a ce,sa.
ton Of hostilities. That this sentiment
met a hearty response in the popular
heart was demonstrated, not only by the
manifestations OF approbation with which
they were received, but also by the sober
ser iousness Of tone in which they are
treated by the war press of New York.

SO far as we are personally concerned,
we will not object very much if Lincoln

in which he signs himself as General in
said
"Our armies are still advancing, and, if
sustained by the voices of the patriotic
millions at home, they will ere long crush
the rebellion in the South, AND THEN
place TIER heels upon the heads ofhs sncdktng
traitors at the North"
BY "saeaking traitors" he of course means
all who do not support this Abolition Ad.
mipistration in its crusade against slavery.
When Gen. Halleck comes North on
that GRAND we would advise him to
put a few duplicate heads among his ar.
my baggage, as be might need them be-
fore he gets through with his job.
Such threats and menaces we de;pise,
and the free American citizen who would
mcekly submit to them is a dog and a
slave, and should be compelled to wear a
yoke during his natural lifetime,
VALLANDIGHAM. We ask special alten.

the late meeting in Philadelphia protest.

enlistment of Hon. {. l.. Vallandigham,
