subject. The editor charges that "the Demo
Gratis are not Union men," and claims that We
furnished confirmation Of the charge. To m
derstand what kind of Union man he is, the
reader must be informed that the Leader is an
organ of WEEDELL PHILLIPS, and indorses
and applauds the uttersnces of that Chief
Priest Of Disnnionists The idea of such
an editor talking to as through such
paper about Democratic dsloyality, 10
preposterous in the extreme. He used to de-
nounce us and the entire Democratic party as

again and again expressed willingness to "let
the Union slide." Even now, he is opposed to
the restoration Of the Union as II was made by
WAsHIsoToN and his Revolutionary Compatri.

the Union, reverence for the Constitution, and

Late arrivals from England announce. that
The Bfltlsh authorities had on the 5th Of April,
seized the Confederate gunboat Alexandra at

acribed as small screw steamer, built OF wood

up for guns, there were actually none on board

Death of Col. Hildebrand.

JEssE HnpEBRAaD, Colonel Of the Seventy
seventh Ohio, died at Alton, Illinois, on satur-
day, the 18th inst, after severe illness of sev-
sral weeks. He had been In command at that
post ever since last fall, and had, 90 far as we
know, discharged his duties in an acceptable
manner. His remains were taken to his home
at Marietta, Ohio, for interment, In charge Of
Capt. A. w. MoCoRnrcK, Of the 77th.
Col. HILpEsRASD was long devoted to military
affairs. At the very beginning of this war, he
went to work with energy and success, to raise,
equip, and drill soldiers, for service against the
rebellion. He lsbored with great efficiency in
getting up the 36th Ohio, througout Washing
ton and the adjoining counties, in the summer
Of 1861; and later In the ssme year, with the
aid of his friends, he raised the 77ih Ohio, oi
which be became Colonel. At the battle Of
Shiloh, he commanded brigade of which HE
gallant regiment formed part In that aangui.

and meritorious officer. The regiment wai
badly cut up In this engagement; aud during

GLoUoEsrER POINT, Va, April 1s, 1s63.}
Editors Patriot and Union:
have seen In the Abolition papers at tn,
North great fuss made in regard to the reso
lutions, said to be passed by the different regi-
ments In the field from our State, denouncinQ
the Democratic party as traitorous, giving liz
members the epiihet of "Copperheads, and
lsuding "Father Abraham" and his co-workine
Abolitionists to the skiee. am member OF
the 169th, and will tell you how they managed
to pass those resolutions In our regiment. In
the fret place the acting Colonel (Lieutenaut.
Colonel Maior) and majority Of the Captains
are Abolitionists. Well, they assemble TO-
gether In secret conclave, draw up the resolu-
tions to suit themselves, get all the Abolition
lists to Sign them first, and then try to scare the
Democratic officers by threatening to discharge
them from the service without pay, and call all
those who refuse traitors, eto. There are some,
however, who, notwithstanding all this, have
refused 10 indorse them. What will be their
fate know not.
Alas! what will our poor, bleeding country
come to yet, If these poor, mean, orAver-heart-
cd hounds are not soon stopped in their mad Ca
reer2 1t cannot 60 on In this ETY. le much longer,
and assure you If they let the privstes In our

manner these anti-Copperhead resolutions are
passed In the army generally, we need not be
ashamed OF the epithet applied to US.

Apprehensions in Regard to Canada
and British Columbia.

The London Timss In o recent article says
While the most belligerent States Of the
North are doing little or nothing toward the
fortifcation OF their eesboard, California rings
with preparations for defensive and offensive
war. Unhappily there ia no doubs that It is
against England that all these preparations are
making. The California press Is loud In vitu-
perstion of England. The sentiments Of the
people are hostile to US. The Washington
Government is building three monitors for the
use Of California, and exporting thither large
quantities of shells and gunpowder; just as II
Mr.. Seward could enliven the gloomy period Of
approaching civil war by speculatiOns of the
capture OF Canada, go the mind of California
10 set probably under the same inspiration on
the acquisition of British Columbia.

Startling News.

We understand that the Governor has receiv-
ed telegraphc dispatches from one Brown,
Jones, Smith, or Thompson, that Nashville,
Brown couoty, is occupied BY three thousand
rebsls. The dispatch states that the town Ia
fortified, aud that the rebels are prepared to re-
sist Gny forces which may be sent against them.
This report or dispatch may be true, but we are
inclined to believe that the Smith, Jones, or
Thompson who forwarded such Dispatch to the
Commander in. Chief Of the Army and Navy Of
Indiana, was slghtly inclined to humbug His
Excellency; or else WAS humtugged himself.
