Dayton COppsrhendism in the schools.

Dayton COpperheadtsm IN the schools.
Dayton is the home of c. H. Vallandig-
ham, which gentleman has many partisan
followers in that city. One might expect,
therefore, to hear of Copperhead speeches
and the Haunting Of Copperhead emblems
upon the streets But the Vallandigham-
ers are not satisfied with this exhibition
on the part Of the adults of the City.
They also want to train up the children to
hate the Stars and Stripes, and to rever-
ence secession. A few days since some
difficulty arose among the pupils in the
High School, caused by the wearing of
Copperhead badge by one of the scholars,
who boasted that his father was in the
Rebel army. To offset his obnoxious e1-
hibition the loyal children procured Union
rosettes, pins, small flags, &C., with
which to testify their regard for the
Government. The excitement spread into
the common schools and presently the
school board took the matter in hand
This body has majority of Democrats.
It met and decided that partisan badges
should not be worn by the scholars, and
then decided that all the Union badges
were bipartisan" The Dayton Empire be-
comes the defender of this decision, and
goes so far as to say that the flags, &C., are
abolition emblems" Think of thatl A
Democratic paper, the especial organ Of the
man whom the Democrats propose to nom
mate for Governor of Ohio, denOuncing
the Stars and Stripes, or rOsettes of Red,
White and Blue, as "AbOIition Emblems"

The Columbus Statesman feels aggrieved
at the nearly synonymous use Of the terms
Democrat and COpperhead by Administra-
ton journals. We have frequently stated,
with sufficient explicitness, the distinction
between War and Peace Democrats. The
former we respect; the latter we justly de-
nounce as enemies to the public good. Can
the Statesman pretend to belong to the for
mer class Ithas opposed the Administra-
ton; has had a score Of charges to make
against Abraham Lincoln to one against
JEFF. Davis; has denounced the patriotic
utterances of Union soldiers and citizens
as partisan electioneering documents; has
espOused the peace ticket in New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut; has had excuses
for Copperheads and abuse for those who
have erred, if at all, from excess Of devO-
ton to the country That the "rAaoe "
Democrats are opposed to the interests and
necessities of the country, even the States
man acknowledged in its comments upon
the Connecticut election, and yet it has not
the courage or the independence, if it has
the desire, to denounce those Copperheads
Of Indiana who have resisted the arrest of
deserters Will it declare itself, that we
may know where it pretends to stand?

new GA-uuAA GA4-a
The shifts and expedients Of the British
government in searching out the best
styles Of iron ships, o2dnsnce, Projectiles
and defences, continue to be reported in
the London journals. The little naval
station Of shoeburyness, formerly an un-
frequented and sequestered spot, has sud
denly sprung up into nOtoriety as the
scene of great experiments with big guns
and tremendous targets Of wood and iron.
The innocent inhabitants Of the place, de-
prived of the enjoyment of that calm SOL
itude which formerly reigned about them,
now have their ears shattered by the fire.
quent discharges of huge pieces of ord
nance and the ping" of great bolts Of
steel and iron upon targets of teak and
metal, and Lords and Commons flock in
crowds to see the fun. Unluckily fol
them and for the government itself, the
expenditure of SO much powder and money
in very costly experiments brings the de-
cision Of the questions at issue not one
step nearer.
The London Times describes several new
trials of shot and cannon which took place
at Shoeburyness in the last week Of March.
The first gunnery experiment was made
with a new-fashioned cannon, around the
muzzle Of which q series Of ineh-holes
was bored, for the ostensible purpose Of
diminishing the recoil by permitting a
quick escape Of gas. Five rounds were
fired, at a great expenditure Of heavy
charges Of powder, and each time the
range and accuracy of the fire were des-
troyed. So the new gun was cast aside.
Then the ordnance officers brought out a
big box-target, faced with four and half
inch iron plates, and lined with teak and
an iron skin like the Warrior, and tried
it with q 110-pounder Armstrong gun
loaded with steel shot. The iDdentation
of the plates was found to be nearly fifty
per cent. deeper than either wrought OF
cast iron missiles but the cost Of the steel
projeetiles is enormous.
The next shots tried were made of pc
culiar kind Of steel from q Sheffield fac
tory, and one Of them, conical in form,
with a very full shoulder, weighing sixty
FIVE pounds and propelled by only fourteen
pounds of powder, smashed completely the
plate, damaging the backing and breaking
a rib behind-the greatest result that has
ever been obtained with so light a shot
and SO small a charge. The Times re-
marks that this trial
-" seemed to show that to pierce the plates,
almost as much depends upon the metal Of
the projectile as upon either the gun or
charge of powder which fires it. Certain
ly, the result seemed quite to upset the
notion that fat-headed shot is essentially
necessary to punch armOr plates, and, on
the other hand, to strengthen the belief
that the best form for this purpose may,
after all, and with proper metal, be found
to be the conical form adopted by Sir Will
liam Armstrong"

Two years ago the rebel papers scknowl-
edged the surprising unanimity with which
the North rallied TO the defense Of the Flag
aud the Capital, but pronounced the Popu-
lar feeling frors as ephemeral as that
which had occurred upon any other great
event. Especially did they dilate upon the
sensational character Of the residents Of
New York city, and enlarged upon the en-
thusiastic displays on the occasions Of the
visit Of the Prince Of Wales, the compile
ton Of the Atlantic cable, &c, as prece-
dents upon which to found an estimate Of
the spirit which caused the immense at
tendance upon the great Sumter mass meet
ing. It was the excitement of some new
thing-nothing more,-and when the novel
ty had passed away the friends Of the
South would make their imposing demon
stration. But the novelty passed away, and
still the enthusiasm of the people remained.
Months rolled by, and still the tramp Of
armed men through Broadway sttracted
hosts Of spectators, each vieing with all
others in shouting for the cause which
those soldiers were going to defend. One
year, two years passed, and the rebels were
thoroughly awakened from the dream
through whose mist they saw .he first Of
the Uprising of the North. And on Mon
day last the anniversary of the great Sum
ter National Mass Meeting, there was con-
vened in New York City the largest gath
ering which even that city Of crowds ever
saw. Fifty thousand people were shouting
for the Union, and applauding to the echo
the succession Of noble speakers, who
boldly and unequivOcally denounced ali
rebellion and sympathy with rebellion, and
counselled support to the Government
through all its trials Lieutenant-General
Scott presided, while George Bancroft,
John Van Buren, Henry J. Raymond,
Daniel S. Dickinson, David Dudley Field,
Henry B. Stanton, Mayor Opdyke and
others equally noted, uttered stirring words
Of eloquence to the masses gathered around
them.
These gatherings which are now being
held throughout the North testify, no less
than those of two years ago, to the patriot
ism of the people. Nay, they are even
stronger evidence, for, whereas those we're
held under the generous and national inn
pulses of the moment these are the YER
dict of the people that in spite of the
hsrdships, the calamities, the mOurnings of
war, they will adhere TO the Government
to the bitter end or the glorious triumph.

Two dollar United States Treasury notes,

East. The figures in the upper corners
are covered by pasting fifty over them, and
the "two" around the edges is carefully
erased by painting it over in green, If
the notes are looked at closely the fraud
