How they look upon it.

Es' The opinion which the Rebels
have of the Corperhead party of the
North is apparent in many paragraphs
from their papers and letters, similar to
the following from the Richmond En-
quirer:
The success of the Northern Democratic party
mould be no longer doubtful should Gen. Lee once
more Advance on Meade. Let him driue Meade
into Washington and he aoiU again raise the spirits
ofthe Democrats, confirm their tinid and qire con.
,fdence 10 their trauerino. Tie ,riU embolden the
Peace Party should he again cross the Potomac. 3"
Here is a declared sympathy between
the Southern traitors, and what are call
ed the Northern Democrats. The
latter can only thrive upon the defeat Of
our armies, upon the blood of our sol
diers, upon The peril of the country. Is
this not true ? Does not the experience
Of the war prove this Have not every
reverse of the national army fortified,
sustained, and made glad, the hearts OF
the Copperheads of the North +? Most
unquestionably. Then what more is
needed TO demonstrate their Arnold like
devotion to the enemies of the country
Is not every Copperhead referred to by
the Enquirer as Democrat. q yeritable
Arnold? Most assuredly.

War News.

Sg' The war news presents nothing
of particular interest, except the report
last night of the advance of LEE upon
MEADE, and the retreat Of the latter upon
the lin1'of the Rappahannock, which
was accomplished successfully.
Some cavalry fighting is all we hear
of in RosEcRANs' department.
In Louisiana, a detachment of FIVE OF
six hundred men of the 10Th and 2Oth
Iowa, and 36lh Indiana, said to have
been under command of Lieut. Col
LAKE, OF this State, were surrounded by
the enemy, and after gallant resistance,
captured. This cannot mean Lieut.. Col
JED LAKE. He was at Little Rock on
the 2lst, eight days previous to the bat
tie, and his regiment is moi brgaded
with the regiments mentioned. We
think there must have been a mistake in
the name of the officer commanding.

with it's professions, were subvcrsive of the
very principles of liberty. The Montgomery
Constitution is almost an exact transcript OF
the Constitution of 1889, and slavery is salts

only an anti-slavery Constitution, but an anti
slavery Bible and an anti-slavery God. jeff
erson Davis, in the very last speech that he
made in the Senate, paid glowing tribute to
the Constitution and the flag of his country
He stood behind the one they had ever stood

clares that the Constitution is the father of all
our troubles, and Abolitionism brands it as a
covenant with death. Until Abolitonism lived

is success. Let four millions of Negroes swarm
the channels of Northern labor and poison its
fountains. and the nation would again arise

London Correspondence OF The N. Y. World.
The English Pompeti.

Perhaps you are not aware that we have
sort OF Pompem of buried city here in Eng
land, now undergoing the process Of being.
unearthed. In Shropshire, about six miles
southeast from Shrewsbury, is little village
called Wroxeter, situated on the Severn, and
surrounded by vestgeS of antiquity In the
Roman times there was a station there, called
UriconiuIn, or Viriconium and to this day
rampant and ditch, with remains of walls,
three miles in circumference, mark the boun-
deries of the city. Other Roman stations,
and some British encampments, are scatter
ed all over the adjacent country; and the
antiquary has only to turn up the soil to be
rewarded with an ample crop of relics. The
noble chieftain, Caractacus is supposed by
Camden to have been defeated by the Romans
not far off, and the presence of the old impe-
rial legions is to be traced in every direction.
But Wroxeter is the place to which special
attention is now being directed. The ancient
town or station of Uriconium was destroyed
by the Saxons in their contests with the Ro-
manizing Britons; and the remains are at
this moment being disinterred, after a lapse
of thirteen hundred years. The results are
highly interesting and valuable, Whole
houses, as in the case of Pompen and Hercula-
ueunl, have been laid BARE and the workshop
of an artificer in metals is now being opened.
A small heap of Roman coins lay on the sill
when the chamber was first broken into, and
the fragments of small earthen vessel were
found on the floor, dropped there apparently,
by some one who was carrying it away. This
earthen pot is supposed to have contained the
coins. A large square pier built Of hewu
stone occupies the center Of the room, and in
one corner raised structure of clay having
in the upper part furnace, which has been
verified by the intensity of the heat. A large
quantity of charcoal is scattered about the
chamber, together with several pieces of fig
ured Samiun ware Eastward from the fur
mace, low wall runs across the room, anoth-
er wall running from it northward. Other
objects of interest are also to be seen in the
enclosure, and the museum, which is being
formed out of the recent discoveries, has re-
ceived some very valuable additions, in the
shape of ancient sickles, pruning hooks, knives,
pottery and glass, etc A large extent of
buildings is now revealed once more to the
light Of day; but am sorry to see it report
ed that the excavating committee is in want

long rides with the daughter of their host
about the country, On one of these occasions
as they had been travelling some distance,
and the day was warm, and as IA trough of run

they concluded to give their pony drink
One of the city ladies agreed to get out and
arrange matters for this purpose. The others,
remaining in the carriage, and deeply engaged
IN conversation, for some time paid no attention
to the proceedings of their companion. When.
at last, surprised at the long delay, they turned
