By the following note from a trustworthy
source, it will be seen that Gen. Tuttle is
not at all fiattered by the Copperhead NOM
ination, and that he utterly refuses to be
used for the base purposes contemplated
by the Conspirators:
OTTUMwA, Aug. 10, 1868.
EDITOR HAwK-EYE:-Gen. futile pass
ed through Keokuk and up on the r. r.,
home.
He says he will not run on the Copper
head ticket for Governor, or anything else.
He says he would rather run on a ticket
nominated by Southern Rebels in arms, as
they are all more honorable men than LIE
Grand Byington, &C., &c. He speaks of
Copperheads in worse terms than you or
can find words to express. B.
NThe one horse instruction in this
State, like the New York Riots, was un-
dertaken for political purposes and intend
ed to advance the political interests of the
Copperhead party. But they are welcome
to all they can make out of it. The leaders
in this State have been engaged for months
in intiaming and arming their ignorant
dupes, and provoking violence by every
means they could devise. The result has
been that every day we hear of some of
them coming to grief. These cowardly
scamps keep out of harms way themselves,
but induce their dupes to wear butternuts
and Copperhead pins, shout for JEFF Davis,
abuse our soldiers, and do thousand
other infamous things to provoke violence!
And these scoundrels that are thus set on
to provoke blood-shed and mob violence,
have been largely provided with arms
The result of all this is that good many of
the persons who have been used for these
base purposes have wiped bloody noses,
and some of them, like Talley, have lost
their lives. The fact is human nature can
not bear everything. Men whose sons are
in the war-who have had sons wounded,
manned or killed in battling for the Union
soldiers at home upon furlough, or those
who have been disabled and discharged,
will not be Haunted in this way by North
ern rebel sympathizers. Those who are
protected by the Government-whoa are liv-
ing and prospecting under the flag of the
Union, cannot wear upon their persons the
evidence of their disloyalty and flauntit in
the face of loyal people. If there be
class of persons so ignorant of the obliga-
tons of citizenship as to allow themselves
to be used for such purpose, upon them
and theirs be the consequences. But let it
not be forgotten that behind these stand an
Infamous class of cowardly conspirators,
more guilty, whose claim to uni
versal execration is paramount.
This war is going on-the Government is
going to draft all the men it wants-the re-
bellion is going to be put down. Those
who get in the way will be crushed.
va A notorious Chicago Copperhead on
Friday last insulted respectable lady on
the street, followed her to her home, was
arrested by her husband, taken before a
Copperhead magistrate, who fined the vii
ain five dollars, and then suspended exc
virtually releasing him from any
penalty whatever! That is how Copper
head magistrates enforce the laws. They
can't afford to punish their pimps and ruff
fans. They are very serviceable on cleo
ton days!
u.s. The arch-devii and traitor, JEFF.
Davis, used to put things through with a
high hand. He was in the habit of giving
orders and hurting anathemas and penal
ties along with them with a very arbitrary
and profusion. Latterly he
finds it necessary to change his tune and
tone considerably. In fact he is down on
his ''rnarrow-bones' before the people
He prays, beseeches, and centuries them to
come to his assistance and help roll back
the tide of war which seems likely to over
whelm the whole tribe of traitors. Jeff. is
doubtless in earnest. His fear begins to
harrow his traitorous SOUL The rivers of
blood he has caused to be spilled, begin to
darken his spirit and make his heart des
perate with fearful forebodings. He sees
the end drawing near. He looks at the in
fanny to which he is doomed, he sees that
even Copperheads cannot save him, and he
calls, like maniac, for aid, even on women
and children! What hell the miserable
traitor has made for himself! What fate
and what lesson he has wrought out for
his rebel dupes and his Copper
head conspirators!
THE KENTUCKY RELATIONSHIPS Cop
perhead press, all over the country, is try
ing to explain away the overwh Ginning
Copperhead defeat in Kentucky. The ia
vorite reason given is Federal interference
Kentucky Copperheads and Secessionists
were not allowed to vote. The facts are
large numbers of Kentucky Secessionists
were in the Rebel Army and could not
veterinary at home would not take the
oath of allegiance, land still others have
seen enough of the Rebellion and now 90
in for the Union and vote the Union ticket,
That is what is the matter.
PERsoNAL.-We met Capt. HARRY GRIP-
FIFTH, of the LIST Iowa Battery, at the cars
yesterday, on his way home upon short
leave of absence. Capt. Griffith is an en-
ergetic, indefatigable officer, whose abil-
ity and gallantry are well known in the
army and at home. Iowa has no better
officer in the service.
