State caused by copper, was restored to light.
When Brown saw clearly defeat staring him
in the face. This click could not bear h m

part of a rascal and n coward. WHY did he
not stand his ground as every man sh iuld do,
and as the Hon. Mr.. Smithers did? He

LETTER FROM BALTIMORE HUN.
DRIED.
CrwrREvILLE, Dec. lst, 1863

NENThEN1LLk, Occ. LEI, LOUD
Mr.. EDITOR:
As you are aware of the fact that the
Hon. Charles Brown died on the 10Th ult., l
would inform you that we, the Union men of
Baltimore Hundred paid the last tribute of
respect to his mortal remains. As due eour-
tesy is expected to attend the exit Of a mortal
body from this earthly pilgrimage, and as
American citizens, we could not stand idly by
without proving ourselves bereft Of q worthy
brother. Poor Charlie died about five o'clock
in the evening, and we accordingly with all
due respect to the occasion, and IN sympathy
to his many friends, buried him beneats the
cold, cold sod, from which it is expected he
will reach an honorable position in more
remote Hall Of Legislation than that of the
United States Of America. As he is now
gone, l would say in the words Of the poet
Let him CO.
But another theme has occurred in our
midst which would be well to lay before the
public which is in substance as follows: On
last Friday, Copperhead crew, styling them
selves riding party, attended with Brass
Band from Maryland composing eight per-
formers, and quite number of citizens, form
ed themselves into funeral procession and
proceeded from one end of the hundred to the
other, in order to make q nore pompoNs dis
play over the fate of their pet lamb Of finder
boz notoriety. The band discoursing music
throughout the occasion-but being careful
not to play any National airs, as they would
perhaps have some tendency to retard tho
happy journey of poor Charlie; or it might
have awakened him from his eternal slumbers,
thus causing divulsion of the mystery CON
nected with them one hundred and ninety dol
lars. The procession was under the leader
ship of the HickOry-man who is man of
medicines. Verify, sayeth the copperhead,
we have dore mat which was required of us
by our gallant leaders. UNION.
