The congressIonaI elections.

Three members of Congress are to be
elected from West Virginia this fall-on
the fourth Thursday OF October. There is
already considerable talk about candidates:
We presume We shall soon have quite
stir among those aspiring. We trust that
we will have no elements of discord intro
duced. Let US elect sound, true admins
tration men. 1t would be good idea to
have manifesto from every mau that of
ters. Let the people know where every
candidate stands No man ought to go to
Congress from West Virginia these times
who is not willing to stand square up to
the Government. Such is the sentiment of
the people and true representative will
carry that sentiment into effect. The best
way to do is for the Union men of each
district to demand that every candidate
put himself fairly and Enthusiastically on
the record In this way We shall secure
uudoubted men.

Jen. Davis, Library.

A correspondent of the Providence Jour
nal, writing from Mississippi, gives the
following account of the discovery of JEFF.
Davis library:
"The books were discovered only by
accident. They were put up 10 large,
strong boxs, bound with hoops of iron.-
The contents of these boxes were soon
brought to light, aud hundreds of trophies
secured, while volumes bound in every
variety of rich binding-poetry, history.
science. the gifts of friends from every
part of the United States, Congressional
documents aud statistics, private and po-
iiticaI letters and letter books, into which
we're copied the correspondence OF years,
written in the scrawling hand of their
former possessor in fact, everything that
exists on paper of greatest private value
to the rebel President, lay heaped upon the
floor in one huge pile, over which the
soldiers walked with dirty feet, or which
they tossed hither aud thither, as they
appeared to be of more or less value as
trophies of their former owner. The Ii
brary was secreted in the house of MIR.
Coz, who was formerly steward of Mr..
Davis"

What copperheadnsm is.
prom the Chicago Tribune.l

1t ought to be remembered by the PEG.
pie of the North, that history does not re-
cord an instance in which a party really
intending the overthrow of established
government and fundamental change OF
institutions, boldly and from the first pro
claimed ITS purposes. The reform of al
legged abuses or the attainment of denied
benefits, is the usual pretext by which rev.
olutions are iinaugurated and not until a
foothold upon public confidence is obtain
ed, and the passions and prejudices of men
are deeply enlisted in their cause, do the
directors OF such movements permit the
mask which conceals their real intentions
to fall off. The Copperhead party in the
North does not differ herein from others
that have preceded it and though, until
the late riots in New York, it would have
been difficult to bring forward tangible
proof that it intends to defeat the admin
istration and, if necessary, adopt the man
selling constitution of the pirates Confed-
erncy, the analogies of history have all the
while been sufficient to create profound
disbelief in the integrity and patriotism OF
its purposes. But, since these fatal days
in the Empire City, we are at no loss to
interpret what Copperheadism means. 1t
is revolution, wearing q semiloya! disguise;
hence, if the real patriotism of the coun.
try permits itself to be longer deceived by
its prOtestations for the preservation of
the Constitution. for the supremacy of the
civilian, for the punishment of the rebels,
and for the perpetuation of the Union,
that patriotism will be borne to the ground,
and avowed aud wicked treason will reign
Will not the people see to
what an infinitude of crime, Copperhsad.
