UNION SENTIMENT IN MIssoURI.-A recent
letter from Palmyra, Mo, to the Boston Jour
nat says that the prospects of that State are
most promising: ''The rebel sympathisers
are fast selling out and leaving their places to
be filed by good and loyal men. The Union
sentiment in Missouri is intensely loyal; it
recognizes but two parties, the one for the T.
MON, the other against it. So we think and
act. We are getting more loyal every day.
We understand the awful responsibility rest
ing on the President, and we will stand by
him through this fiery ordeal, and with him
conquer and perish. Such are the sentiments
expressed in the current thought, and in the
public meetings which gather to consider the
posture of affairs and The present crisis. We
fear nothing for Missouri

the men on the side of war and an undivided
Republic lay aside all minor differences. and

The copperheads and Foreign Intervention.
The New Y ork Times, of March 9th SAYS
"The Copperheads, small in number, in both
branches of Congress, refused to vote for the
resolutions against foreign interference They
all went either plumply against them or dodg-
ed. This thing should be noted 1t is anoth-
er illustrationof the lack of national feeling,
which marks all this creeping, cold -booded
breed.
Nobody pretends that the resolutions con
tained either sentiment or language calcuIa-
ted needlessly to offend foreign sensibilities
Though earnest and decided, they were still
temperate and courteous. They ascrbed the
offers to media to a misunderstanding, i'm
pugning no motives they set forth the inhe-
rent inIpossbility of submitting the national
authority TO arbitration; they expressed an
unqua lified determ nation to maintain that au-
thority inviolate; they declared that the only
practical effect of any foreign proposition,
however designed, was to encourage and stay
up the rebellion; and they publicly announced
that 'sCongress will be obliged to look upon
any Further attempts in the same direction as
an unfriendly act" Certainly the dignity
and the interests OF the Republic required
nothing less than this plain statement. 1t is
precisely because the Copperheads care moth
ing fol the dignity or the interests of the Re-
public that they refused 20 sustain it,
Mr.. Powell and Mr.. Salisbury the leaders
of this faction in the Senate, both freely
avowed that they would hail with JOY any for
eign mediation calculated to produce peace
They would not only permit foreign poten
tates to step in and regulate our domestic af
fairs, but would thank them for it. 1t is al
most incredible that the same Chamber which,
in other times, rang with such indignation if
a European power did but presume to put it's
foot on one square yard of sand or bog be-
tween Cape Horn and the Great Lakes should
now give out these piteous winnings that some
good nation would be kind enough to come
over and make disposition OF our very altars
and tresides. 1t would absolutely stagger
belief, We're it not that the factious spirit.

sell capable OF any extent OF vileness. He
who has once made up his mind to accept this
rebellion as his master, is prepared to cronch
before anything. There is not power on the
earth, nor in the regions under the earth, be-
fore which it does not feel like crawling.

with ordinary faculties, can study the dan

From A SoLpIER-The following is an
extract from letter from soldier ia the
e9th Indiana regiment, now with Rosecrans
army. to a copperhad in Medaryville who
had written him letter denunciatory of the
war:
81 suppose you heard of the resolutions
adopted by the Indiana soldiers of this ar
my. Those resolutions were read to the
men, and adopted by them, so that if the
traitors Of the North begin to breed trouble
you may expect to see few regiments or
dered back TO clean them out, and if they
have to do il, they will do it with ven 90
ance. for they have ten times more respect
for . man who will come out openly and
shoulder his gun, than they have for the
oowsrdly. sneaking devils, who stay at
home and covertly do all in their power to
weaken the cause."-Latayette Conr.
