ledge disaster and to devote themselves to
"fasting, supplication and prayer" much
more must the Copperheads of these re-
gions. If JEFF. is badly off they are worse
of. If he must fast and supplicate, wha,
must not Copperheads do to avert the
wrath to come? We really don't know
but then we think it will be hard work fol
most OF them to pray even for JEFF. and
treason.
THE GEORGE GRIswoLD. 1.-The ship
which bears the foregoing name, it will be
remembered, bore on it's first voyage across
the Atlantic, full cargo of grain and pro.
visions contributed by Americans to the
starving operatives of Worcestershire. II
is now reported that on its return voyage
it was captured by tie Georgia, one of the
pirates fitted out by Englishmen, with the
connivance of the Government, to prey
upon American commerce. That is the
return we have for generous sympathy
with distress. That is the meaning of mod
ern English neutrality. That is how we
are treated by the Government whose dis
ish gratitude for munificent benefaction
bestowed in our hour of peril and trial.
We can endure it, however. But can we
forget it? Shall we not remember this
conduct in the day, which we trust and
believes not very distant, when, the rebel
lion being fully conquered, and our peo-
pie fully restored to their senses and 10y

reckoning for her repeated violations OF
neutrality, her impertinences and inso-
lence? We think that our people will re.
member these things and probably feel
like avenging them.
rs The Richmond Dispatch of July 9th
hrd heard of the capture of Morgan and
his gang of cut-throats, pickpockets and
horse thieves. 1t styles it "a distressing
blow to the Confederacy.' 1t says that
1.-THE pride of the people was very much
interviewer with the achievements of Nor
gam! The same paper contains Jetfs
>'suppncating" proclamation. We don't
know that Morgan's capture was "the las,
drop that made his cup run Ger" We pre-
sumo prior disasters had already caused
that. But we do not doubt that this later
mishap increased the distress of all Dixie
and was sad rebuff to their ''pride." 1,
must have been terrible infiiction to
know that their chief horsethief and 'snig-
gea' stealer had at last got into 'limbo.''
Really, that is striking home thrust at
the hearts of the "chivalry."
ny Some of the Canucks are get
getung ungracious, not to say impolite, to-
wards the patriotic and CONSTITUTIONAL
Vallandigham. The Toronto Globe. has
been hunting up the convict's past speech
es, and it finds that he was specially insult
ing to the British Lion in the Trent en-
brogilo, and urged that this Government
should hold on to Mason and Slidell sin
spite OF any menace or demand of the Rrit-
ish government The Globe thinks that
the author of such sentiment ought NOT IN
receive any kind attention from loyal Eng
llshmen. The Globe need not complain on
that score, however. Vallandigham didn't
insist on that policy out of any enmity to-
wards England, but simply because he
supposed a foreign war would aid the rob-
els-,n fact ensure their triumph. AS that
is VIVA, the English government wishes. WHY
Should not that people applaud vallandig-
ham just AS the rebels do? But then the
English people and their government don't
always think alike.
GS officers who were enpapad in tho
t'stern- chase" after horse-thief MORGAN ,a.
port that, III many instances, "this chief of
a rebellious clam released his prisoners
citizens he had no business to capture-un-
on their promise to vote for mis- friend Val
landigham. We don't know but that sort
of electioneering may be "Constitution.,,
in the mind of "Copperhead," but we
had been under the impression that thew
did not like military interference with the
freedom of elections! We are not disposed
to complain of Jacks efforts in that line
On the whole we are satisfied with his
tour, and particularly with
It's result. If any more of 'vals' rebel
friends wish to repeat it, we trust they VIII
try it and meet with similar success. If it
suits the Copperheads we don't believe any
body else would be dissatisfied. Not much
TO speak OF.
A GOOD DEED.-The great Illinois farm
er and cattle dealer, Jacob Strawn, has col
leetec one hundred cows, donated by him
self and neighbors for the use of the hospi-
tails at Memphis. They have been asked
for by the Matron there, as necessity. and
our Illinois farmer with his friends viii
forward them. Strawn is a sound man
we'u bet.
&-TALLY-REv. TALLY-the Infamous
Copperhead brawler, who has mixed himself
rather freely with the business and polit-
calmatters Of Keokuk and Jefferson, came
suddenly to grief last Saturday, at South
English, in the former county. He drew his
revolver on a Union man, and snapped it
twice, when the assailed man drew up his
nusket and shot him through the head.
The world is well rid of a nuisance.
