L. S. HOSPITAL, Fort

DEAR SIR Il have been spending the
time since January in this Hospital

dred sick and wounded soldiers here. |

loyal States are represented here-Penn.
sylvania largely. The soldiers from the
North Western States, although few ;n
number, are of the right stamp; they
say there is but little difference between
the rattlesnakes Of South Carolina and
the North Western copperheads-the lat
ter are the most despicable. Uncle Sam
is taking good care of all his boys here
| visited the Army Hospital in New Ha-
ven Connecticut last week where I also
found many Pennsylvanians. The sol
diers are we'll taken care Of at that place.
Nearly all the time, day and night, dur
ing the month of February, / spent al
the bed sides of the sick, wounded and
dying soldiers and witnessed such scenes
as will never be obiiterated from my mind
The most complaining is about that fire
in tie rear. The soldier has some respect
for brave and open enemy, but for the
cowardly scoundrel of a home traitor they
have none, are there any traitor gophers
or copperheads in Potter County any
men among you discouraging enlistmeuts,
advocating opposition to the draft, Ell,
couraging soldiers in the army to desert
Or guilty of any other acts of disloyalty
and treason p? let them consider we'll what
they are about There is a day of retri.
button close at hand for those cowardly
sneaks when the soldiers, brave men OF
the army return to their long absented
homes. The cry Of the rebels is ''let us
alone" while Northern traitors chime in
the howl of "Peace, Peacew But "there
is DO peace to the wicked saith my Cod

Nicholas Longwortb, the celebrated
wine grower, who recently died in Gin
clnnatti, used to pay nineteen thousand
dollars year tax. His wealth was malR-
ly derived from the advance of real estate
in Cincinnati. He was noted for unos-
tsntatious charities, one instance of which
was his giving out to the poor four hun
dred loves of bread per week for many
weeks. On one occosion, wishing to ia
crease the size of the loaves, but not the
cost, he proposed to distribute loaves that
had portion Of rye or Indian corn in
them, but the recipients of his bounty
struck against this, and Mr.. Longworth
was compelled to distribute to them ouly
loaves of fine wheaton bread

THE EXEMPTION ORDINANCE AND THE MAYORS
vEro.-Now that Mayor Opdyke has vetoed the
ordinance appropriating two million Eve hun.
dred thousand dollars to pay the exemption
money for men drafted from this city we sup
pose that the members Of the Common Council
will be called upon to fulfil their pledge to pass
the ordinance over the veto. II would be far
better for them, however, 10 frame an entirely
new ordinance. The present one, which was
offered by Alderman Hardy. appears to be a
mere political trap. II is az full Of holes az a
seive. II Is expressed so vaguely that Il means
nothing. II is so drawn that the last clause
nulliies all the others. II seems expressly de-
signed to be vetoed. In short, its only posi-.
BILE use Is 10 make q little political capital for
the copperbcads and possibly to provoke a
contest between the State and national govern
mcnts in the courts, while the poor people II
processes 10 relieve may be drafted half p dozen
times before the Supreme Court decides up
on the consttutionaIity of the Conscription act
and gives the ordinance any practical eject.
Let Alderman Hardy's weak concoction be
thrown overheard. therefore, and . new crdi-
nance be prepared. Offering bouaty Of three
hundred dollars 70 every drafted man who
either goes 70 the war or sends Substitute.
Such an ordinance would please oil parties.
II would be as legal as any Of the other bounty
ordinances passed by the city government
Tho Mayor could not veto II without running
his party and relinquishing all pretensions to
consistency; the poor people would be re.
iicved Of tho onerousness of the draft, and,
finally, the government would be supplied with
men instead Of grecnbacks and no collision
between the city or State and national authori.
