EsAWe give up most of our space
this morning to description of the bat
ties of Saturday and Sunday, May the
Sd and 4th, at Charlottesville We hav e
heretofore published detailed accounts
of Hooker's movements up to that time
The account we print this morning i5
graphic, and, so far as we can judge, APP
pears to be quite correct 1t will at
least give our readers a clear idea of
those bloody engagements, as well as a
pretty fair foundation on which to base
a correct opinion of General Hooker's
capacity and generalShip.

A BUTTERNUr IN TRouBLE-We have
been informed that leading butternut
of this city, who is a prominent poll
tician, while at GreenviIIe, Ky, a few
days ago, was mistaken from his CONVEX
sation for a secessionist or Southern
sympathizer, and was arrested by the
Union soldiers stationed there and.placed
in Jail.
A friend learning of his situation went
and obtained his release.
1t. is singular that a "good Union
man" should talk in such a manner as
to be mistaken for secesh by federal
soldiers, who are mostly Democrats -
Perhaps it was an arbitrary arrest
by Lincoln horde"

Run AWAY,

The mules with which ]. P. Elliott,
of the family grocery, distributes his rich
stores to his hosts of customers, took it
in their heads to run off yesterday, and
succeeded remarkably well for small
mules. The result was that the wagon
to which they were attached, was very
essentially demolished, and the mules
themselves received a few scratches.
This, however, will not prevent Elliott
from supplying the many wants of the
people. He always rises with the occa-
sion, unless he gets up to go 10 market,
which he seldom does, as he finds it safe
to take his own prescriptions. He has
another wagon left

CoPPERHEADS DRILLING IN ILLINOIS,
The Springfield Qll) Journal states that
about three hundred rebel sympathizers'
fully armed, met at Dolson Prairie, about
twelve miles from Marshall, III Clark
county, Illinois. last Saturday week, for
the purpose of drill and parade. They
were instructed in the exercise by two
men, one from Morgan's gang, and the
other from Gen. Prices army, and gave
evidence that they were fully acquainted
with military tactics Parties Of Cop
perheads have been holding meetings
and drilling at Castlefn, six miles north
of MARSHALL also at Martinsville. The
meeting on Saturday seemed to be con-
centration of the forces for parade, &c.
This is the natural consequences of
the teachings of such traitors and traitor
sympathizers as Jim Robinson, Judge
Constable, Dan Voorhees, and their de-
lectable followers, of whom the Marshal
HIinoiSan and the Terre Haute Journal
are proper organs.
While these men are bowling for peace,
they are preparing for war. While plead
ing for mercy and constitutional
rights" for the Southern traitors, they
are preparing to inaugurate civil war in
the North; to lay waste her fair and fer
tile fields and fill her homes with wailing
and woe. Having no substantial or
permanent interest in the country, being
mostly political and social paupers, they
hope in the tumult of civil war to realize
some social or political advantages.
With some ability as speakers, the
! uemagogues nave poisoned the minds OF
volve the whole country in ruin.
Let the men who have been deceived
by these political tricksters reflect for
moment whittier they are being led
They are being lured to their own des-
truction, and in the hour of trial they
will find their seducers abandoning them
to their fate, or at the best only willing
to defend them for fat fees before the
civil courts.

He gave history of the last Legisla-
lures of Illinoie, Indiana, Ohio and New
York.
Showed how the K G. C.'s and the
united brotherhood of New York had
been merged into the Brotherhood of
the Great West"
In alluding to the Illinois Legislature
he established very clearly that the cop
perhead party had sold out the Democ-
racy, as well as their own honor, to Gov.
Yates, for the sum of fifty thousand dol.
lars. The Governor had persistently de
manded an appropriation of that sum for
the sick and wounded soldiers, and
which they had as strenuocsly opposed
But they had amended the Penitentiary
bill from $4,000 to 100000, and had
passed a Congressional apportionment
bill, which the Governor had refused to
sign. Rather than lose the stealings in
the Penitentiary bill and the apportion-
ment bill, they voted the Governor $50, =
600, by artifce. The copperheads pre-
pared two bills exactly alike (for contin-
gent expenses), except that one contain
ed the following: And to the Governor
the sum of S50,000 to be used as a con.
tingent fund FOR the benefit of the sick
and wounded Illinois soldiers. Bill
No l which did not contain the -provis.
ion, was read, and bill No 2, which did
contain it, was voted on. He said if it
was right to give the Governor that sum
it was right to give it to him openly; if
was wrong, how much more so was it to
do it secretly and clandestinely.
He gave a quotation from the speech
of Clay Dean, of Iowa, in Pontiac, Ills,
few days ago: THAT our army was
composed OF a band of lawless plunder-
ers and assasains, and that our soldiers
wives were to-day dressed in stolen silks
and satins, and feeding from stolen sill
yer ware which their husbands and
brothers had plllaged from the inoffen-
sive Southerners." In describing this
class of copperheads Mr.. H. said the time
would come when their names would be
engraven upon the same page of history
with those of Major Andre and Benedict
Arnold, and that in the world to come
they would smoke in sulphurous hyero-
glyphics upon the gate-posts of hell
His speech, though not eloquent, was
forcible and hit square between the eyes,
as was betrayed by certain copperheads
who have heretofore tried somewhat sue
cessfully to conceal their loathsome char
acters beneath cloak of loyalty. AL
though we do not endorse all Mr. How
ard says, we are certain he is doing good
for the cause of the Union.
His audience listened with profound
intention for over an hour and half.
