The Movement against the Copper
haaSq

The soldiers of the great commonwealth
OF Ohio wheel into line beside their COM
rades Of Indiana and Illinois. They. too.
feel that they have enemies in the rear as
worthy of their steel as the foes in their
front. They cannot see the patriotism of
striking down the Constitution and the Co.
vernment under pretence of saving both.
To them traitor is traitor, at the North
as well as beyond the Federal lines. and
they believe that
"The carrion crow with croaking low,
Claims for his prey the renegade,
OF the cowarlly breed Of Vallandgham.
Cox, Salisbury, Wood and Company. On
the 18th instant an immense and enthusias-
tic meeting of Ohio officers was held at
Murfreesboro', for the purpose of taking
some measures to show the sentiments chat
exist in the army in regard to the prosecu-
ton of the war, the adoption of dishonora-
BILE compromises, and the incipient treason
which has developed itself in the North.
The utmost unanimity prevailed, and a
committee was appointed to draft an ad-
dress to be presented to all the Ohio regi-
ments for their adoption or rejection. Col
Connell, lifelong Democrat, drew up the
resolutions, which were heartily endorsed by
all members of the Committee, both Dem
ocrats and Republicans. The Address has
already been presented to a dozen regiments,
who have adopted it without dissenting
voice. The cheers with which the address
was received by the Ohio regiments would
have sent thrill of JOY to the heart of every
loal man in the country. The address is
an uncompromising Union document. 1t
affirms that treason can only be suppressed
by force of arms, and denounces the Peace
movement in unmeasured terms.
The style Of the address is brave and
sturdy. We commend the following ex-
tract from it to every craven mortal who
has listened to or sympathized with Cop
perhead treason:
Your enemies ask for no cessation of
hostilities. Shame upon you to now antici-
pate them Shame! Spare your sympa-
! thies for miserable traitors, justify confined
Smyrna times., 1863-02-26

in prisons at home, and give them to your
friends, your relatives, your brothers, who
are sacrificing their lives, their all for you,
on many bloody battlefield. If some
miserable demagogucs among you must
vomit forth their treason, let them keep it
at home We want none OF their vile let
ters, speeches or papers here. We have
sunk I'LL party considerations III devoted
loyalty to our country, and whatever names
unholy traitors may apply TO us, we will,
by every means that Providence puts in
our hands, sustain the Union, SO help us
God"
While every day developes the unuttera-
bic baseness OF men like Vallandigham,
who boast that they have not supported a
single war measure since the rebellion broke
out, and who wear their shame right in
their foreheads, yet each day also proves the
truc-hearted loyalty Of the volunteers To
them the one object of the war is to crush
treason and save the nation from anarchy
and dcspOtism. Without q murnur, they
submit to privations, hardships, wounds and
death {; yet steadEastly they stanl for the
right, believing the Republic will yet
blind her ring of re-appearing stars
About her forehead, and forget her scars"
For mcanncss and cowardice we look in
vain among the noble hearts who have
carried the ensign of the nation through an
hundred bloody fields. 1t is the sIulI;er,
who stay at home to concoct conspracic,
against the Union, who furnishes illustr..
tons of the depth Of degradation to whci
humanity, void ofpatriOtism and honor, car
fall-IHiLu Bulletin.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The New Conscription Bill.

The bill passed by the United States
Senate for enrolling all the able-bodied men
of the nation, and for calling them out,
when necessity requires it, for the suppress
sion Of rebellion or resistance to a FOREIGN
foe, Is one ofthe most important measures
OF the session. 1t cannot be denied that
every man living under the protection of
the laws and fit to perform military duty,
owes that service whenever the nation or
the government represents it is in peril
Our country finds itself in this position at
the present time, and Congress rises to a
true comprehension of its duty, when it
places at the command Of the Government
Ill the means the nation possesses to defend
itself from dissolution as a political power
No exemption are allowed in the conscrin-
ton bill except such as cannot be avoided
with the prompt performance of the civil
functions Of the Government The official
persons exempted are the Vice-President,
the Judges of the United States Courts, the
heads OF the Executive Departments and
the Governors of States. The bill takes in
all able-bodied persons from the ages of
twenty to forty-iiye who are citizens or de-
clared their intentions to be citizens. Per-
sons physically and mentally weak, and the
only sons of widows or parents dependent
upon him for support, the only brother of
orphan children under twelve years of age,
dependent upon him for support, are all
exempt. When father and son of the
same family are in the military service, the
residue, not exceeding two persons. are
exempt. No person who has committed a
felony will be allowed to be enrolled or to
serve in this militia force.
The whole force is to be divided into two
classes, the first embracing those between
twenty and thirty-fye years, and all un-
married persons above that age up to forty
! fve. The second class embraces al other

made upon Vicksburg and Port Hudson. The fact
that these two vessels have been enabled TO run

Is, shows what may be done win steam and the sides
OF vessels well protected, against the most STRONGLY

IN the naval assaults to be made the strongly for

removed forced there is the le lSe doubt that

those cities are at the mercy Of our feet and their
capture or destruction is certain.

TIE TERRITORY OF ARzoxA.-The Sen
ate, Friday, passed the bill organizing the
territory Of Arizona. 1t only awaits the
signature Of the President to become a law.
This territory contains l3O, 900 square miles,
and is therefore larger than three States of
the size Of Ohio. 1t is said by those who
have spent several years there, to contain
more and richer silver and copper mines
than any other territory under the Govern
ment Goldisals foundinmany parts ofthe
territory. Hostile indians have heretofore
precluded extensive operations in the mines
but with a Government such as is about
to be established, they will be fully devel-
oped 1t is asserted by persons who have
had opportunities to form a Judgment, that
the richest silver mines of the world are to
be foundin Arizona There are 1000 troops
now there, and it is probable that the mum
Der will soon be largely increased.

The Copperheads.

This term is now generally applied to the
traitors in the loyal States Ii is appropri
ate and significant. The sympathizers with
secession are more to be dreaded than the most
venomous and loathsome thing on the face
OF the earth. The Copperhead is described
by naturalists as san American venom0us
serpent, the most dangerous after the rattle
snake" The ratttlesnake represents South
CarOlina-see the first Palmetto FLAG the
Copperhead represents your Northern trai-
tor. The rattlesnake, with all its venom,
has one remaining virtue-it never strikes
without warning; that inevitable rattle
gives you timely notice of danger; but the
Copperhead gives no sign of attacl1-it is
III verify snake in the grass South Car
ollna gave long warning of her purpose to
strlke-she shook her rattles long before
she made the spring at Sumter. Your
Copperhead is no such chivalrous foe he
hides in the grass, silent and treacherous,
springs upon you unawares-no rattle, no
hiss, but lurking watchfulness and a leap
at your throat, that might, for its perfect
surprise if not its success, excite envy in
the breast of an East Indian Thug The
Copperhead prefers dark places-like the
secret committee rooms of the Diffusion
Society: gives no warning ofTits proximity.
traitors never do; attacks directly only in
self-defenee. There is remarkable fitness
in the name-let the traitors bo called "Cop-
perheads. "-RcpubHcan.

FINDING TRoUBLE.--Ther rebels in Georgia
find great deal oftrouble keeping the vol
untcers in the army. 1t is estimated by u
rebel paper Mt Atlanta, that half the men
who went into the service from Qhe North
eastern counties OF the State have deserted,
and were skulIling at home or in the woods
to avoid duty. Some Ct the more desperate
had banded together, armed thcmselys, and
resisted by force any attempt to arrest them.
These were not conscriptS, but volunteers, as
the conScripton law had not been enforced
in that quarter

Parson Brownlow says, {" do not know
how secession effects the women Of the
North, but it is just five minutes by the
watch, after 4 Southern woman becomes a
seceSsionist, ali the devils in the Internal

exaggerated some, yea it conveys the idea.
Secession demoralizes a woman, like all
other crimes.

Sow FLAx.-Every farmer should SOW
