CopprRHEADs.-Nr Clement vallandigham,
Member of Congress from Ohio, made speech
last week, in which he avowed himself "cop-
perhead." Certain editors nearer home have
likewise rejoiced in the title. 1t becomes inter-
esting to inquire what it means and how it came
to be applied to class Of politicians. A cop.
perhead, according to the American Encyelope-
dis, is an enormous serpent, the head is thick,
the neck contracted, and its scales smooth;
there are no rattles, the tail being short; near
the flank are rounded dark blotcbes; it prefers
dark and moist places; it gives no warning OF
its proximity; feeds on mice and small birds,
&c., and seldom attacks men. 1t is slow and
clumsy in it's motions, and very slight blow
sufficee to kill it It is also called "chunkhead"
and "deaf adder" 1t cannot be denied that the
anology between this loathsome creature and
the mean, sneaking politicians who are now
distractinp the Northern mind with cries of
peace, is quite striking. Like the copperhead,
the peace party are venomous in their attacks on
the nation; like it their head is undoubtedly
thick: like it their neck and reach are contract
ed. Their scales, too, are smooth; and they
have no rattles to warn the honest traveller OF
their iusidious approach. Like the comprehend,
their character is stained by dark bloiches; and
like il thew "prefer dark places" to the light Of
day. Like that sneaking reptile, their prey is
..small. feeble creatures" and they seldom
venture to attack man." If We add that our
political copperheads, like their reptile type, are
so ''slow and clumsy in their motions" that
they deserve the additional cognomen of
..chunkheads" and "deaf adders ;" and that %
very slight blow" makes an end Of them, we
shall have made the analogy complete. II is
creditable to the discernment of our Western
fellow citizens that they 60 quickly realized the
resemblance between the copperbead snake and
the peace politician, and babtized them by one
common ppellation.-[Harper's Weekly.

A great deal is subsequently, by those who
pay nothing-about the extravaganza Of the
War Department. The Nashville Union, in
criticzpg this fault finding spirit, calls attention
to the fact, that the Utah expedition, which con.
sisted of 10000 meu, and lasted only few
months, cost six millions of dollars. At the
same rate, the cost of the present war, with
nearly million of men, would, up to this time,
have been seven billions of dollars!
