Keep them to the Record.

The Copperheads are as variable rs
the wind. Whenever disaster delays
the progress of the Nations arms,
they are rs malignant and envenom-
ed in their opposition to the Govern
mcnt as so many Rattlesnakes. No
sooner do we achieve a triumph, than
they join in the popular rejoicing, and
profess to be pleased at the success of
our arms. just now under the slim
illus of the reported capture of Vicks-
burg, they. are claiming to be good
war men, and swearing that they al
ways have been. a brief examina-
tion of the war policy of this faction
of the Democratic party, will show
the people how much their support of
the Government has been worth to it.
They opposed the calling out of the
first $4,000 men after the lombard
ment of Fort Sumpter, on the ground
of "unconstitutionality."
They opposed the arrest of the
venemous traitors of Maryland, be-
cause it was "unconstltutional."
They opposed coniiscation, because
it was unconstitutional"
They opposed the taking and using
Of negroes, because il was unconsti-
tutional.
They opposed Butler, Fremont, ST.
gel, because they hurt the rebels "un-
constitutionally."
They opposed taxation because it
was unconstitutional"
They opposed conscription. because
it was unconstitutional
They opposed the making Of Treas
ury notes legal tender, because it was
unconstitutional.
And they opposed every measure
of the Administration for the same
reason, 1t will be seen that tlNy
have opposed every measure that
would give the Government the men
and means necessary to carry on the
war--that they insisted upon the un-
constitutionality of everything that
could harm the rebels or strengthen
the Union armies. We want these
facts remembered

DAYTON, May 26-As one of the
officers at this point, Sergeant Swig-
ert, was passing through Beaver Creek
Township, Green county, he was fired
at three times by unseen villains, who
secreted themselves in the woods.
The sergeant fortunately was not
hurt, and upon his arrival he report
cd the case to the Provost Marshal,
Major Keith, who dispatched a squad
of cavalry to bring the traitors to
justice, with orders, that if failing to
meet with the blood thirsty savages
that they should arrest and bring to
town several of the most notorious
sympathizers in the township.
After some considerable time spont
in getting information in the neigh
borhood indicated, they got upon the
track of one or two suspicious char
acters, and arrested during the night
between ten and three o'clock, some
six prominent X. G, C.,s, whose well
known identity with the Southern
Coufederacy has become proverbia
in that locality. They were lodged

The Duty of the Hour.

man who places his Country welfare
above ull other considerations, has q
grave duty to perform y. this time
Never since the war commenced, has
there been so imminent danger OF
the total destruction of tho Govern
mcnt, as now. Not from its open
armed foes--those We know and can
provide against, but from the secret
enemies at home--thosea who, en-
loving all the advantages of q free
government, are plotting its destruct-
ion, and laboring none the less yigor-
ously because their work is hidden.
They will not much longer continue
the howl of Abolition-the word has
lost its power. and is now harmless.
The points upon which they now rely
to enrage the people are: The Tax,
the Conscription and Arbitrary Ar
rests. .t.
Can they succeed in arousing the
people to an organized opposition to
these measures, they will have done
more for the Southern cause than thu
rebels have done for themselves, fol
they will deprive the Government o
revenue and of men, and make it per

New YORK, Sep. 15.-The Washington
specials contain little of interest.
The Herald's despatch gives the following
account of cavalry fight and victory.
RAppAHANNocK, Va, Sep, ll.-From the
front the news is again encouraging.
Mai. Gen. Pleasanton, with cavalry force,
under Gen'ls Buford, Gregg and Fitzpatrick
crossed the Rsppahannock yesterday, and
advanced to the Rapidan. Bufords division
came up with Stuart's rebel cavalry, on the
heights this side of Brandy Station and
drove them from crest to crest, by series
of brilliant and gallant charges. GENERA
Kilpatrick's command formed with B uftords
on the left, at Brandy Station, having
crossed q. s, Ford. Gen. Gregg left Sui
pher Spring at daylight and joined Pleasan,
ton and Buford at Culpepper, having found
Jones Brigade of rebel cavalry at Muddy
Run and scattered them by shells, but not
until they had fred the bridge. Gregg's
men found it out, however, and replanked
the structure in few moments, so that
the whole command crossed upon it. den.
Gregg continued to drive Jones before
him and reached Culpepper atthe same mo-
the advance arrived just in time to see
train of cars, with stores, leave for the
South.
Our men charged through the town with
most splendid gallantry, capturing IA pris-
oners and guns-two twelve and and one
six FOUNDER These latter were posted on
commanding eminence, just beyond the
town of Culpepper, and were charged upon
by Gen. Carter of Gen. Kilpatrick's brigade
and captured, with nearly all of their men,
Bufords division passed on in pursuit OF the
flying rebels Col. E. Chapman, of the I'd
Ind cavalry, commanding the LIST brigade,
having the advance, pursued them past
Cedar Mountain, and the whole command
followed them to the vicinity of the Rapi.
dan, within two miles of which they en-
camped last night.
The fight was opened by Buford, who
had the centre advance and who knew sx
actly where to look for the enemy as he
has fought the same ground over several
times. Gen. Castor was slightly wounded
by a shot which killed his horse. The
Lieut.. Col. of the 18th Va. cavalry was cap
tured in skirmish this side of Culpepper.
Buyler of Co. E., 9Th Illinois was killed
We also captured large quantity of ord

bayonet. The citizens Of Culpepper say
that Stuart reviewed 5000 rebel cavalry
there on Saturday and be was in command
yesterday.

discomfort. But dull days are not without
their blessings. Some things are blessings

In some inexplicable manner they are
