of the great congregation of Copper

that fully 10000 people were present,
and in another that the great and awful

Now, is it possible that only half the

ly about the Decalogue. This singular
phenomenon would excite more atten-
ton if it was not evident that its sudden
manifestations of horror at clay hawk

der, who wrote his opinions and feelings
to young companion, and being hand
ed to US, we saw proper TO publish them
in the Journal. The Gazette says we

the writer or his friends to blush.
"Jay hawking" is term generally
t applied by the army to the taking posses
sion of property abandoned by its own
: ers, and appropriating it to the private
; use of the soldiers This, of course, is
a violation of the rules of war, though we
don't see that it is any more a violation of
the Decalogue, nor so much, las the waging
of war. If it was very wicked for
a young man, when he saw negroes cut
ting up with axes, by the road side, a
81, 600 piano which had been abandoned
by its nominal owner, to wish he had it
at home, and feel bad that he couldn't

: of scent manifested by Copperheads in
noseing out items that they think will
bring a reproach upon the Union SOL
diers, is most remarkable; not the slight
est indiscretion in word or act do they
commit than the whole internal pack are
at their heels.
While the Gazette, during its natural
or unnatural existence, has never said
word against the wholesale theft CON-
mitted by democratic officials under Bu-
chanans administration, it pounces with
vultures greed upon young soldier
who expressed desire to have at home
some of the many thousand articles of
: value he saw being destroyed.
With sorrow and shame we record
the fact that respectable editor of re-
spectacle paper sees nothing in this de-
serving rebuke."
