Rebel Contempt for Peace Copperhead..
Like the benevolent old lady who had a
good word for everybody, and who agave
the d-l his due by urging her children
to emulate his perseverance and industry,
we would give the open armed rebels all
The credit Of which they may show them
selves worthy. We have already pub
lished the disposition which jenkins, the
leader Of the rebel invading force that oc-
eupied Chambersburg, Pa, made of cow
ards and sympathizers. A letter from a
reliable gentleman of that place, published
in the Philadelphia Press, tells two other
incidents worthy Of note. Jenkins being
in q drinking saloon, was aecosted by a
syeoPhantic sprig Of the law, who began
TO ventilate his dislOyal and treasonable
sentiments; he was not allowed, however,
to proceed very far, until jenkins Informed
him that he discovered in him one Of those
creatures termed Copperheads, and that
where he came from, they s7ere held in mare
profound contempt than the apoarsd Black
Republicans The Copperhaad, still blatant
Of treason, began to talk Of the "despot.
ism" that had violated free speech d in;
the person of Vallandigham, when jenkins
said to him: My COpperhead friend, your
Administration did not do its duiy. If
Lincoln had performed his part as he
should have done, he would have hung
him siz months ago. If any man in the
Southern COnfederacy would utter senti-
ments as adverse to our Government os
Vallandigham did TO yours, ne igOald not
only dsPriVs him Of liberty, but 1Oe ,OOuld take
his life"
Another incident was the following:
Another fact which 1 shall give you is
that the rebels were not in town more than
half hour until villain went 10 some Of
the leaders and informed them as to the
direction in which most of the citizens
horses had been taken, and also that the
bridge at tScotsnd was wooden structure,
and not iron, as Stuarts men had been in
formed. This General jenkins told to ona
Of our most influential ladies, and when
she requested him to take the fellow with
them, his reply was that they would not
have such q scoundrel in their Confedera-
ey, il they could preventit.
The observation-disclosures of our Cav
airy.
The cavalry force of the army of the Po-
tomas is achieving for itself now, honOrs
which ithas not before had the opportunity
or the capacity to secure. General Pleas
anton is making every day tell, not only
upon the detached bodies of rebel cavalry
with which he comes in contact, but upon
the main plans Of the enemy. A cores
pOndent of the Times says that not only
has our cavalry whipped STARTS force but
the whole rebel infantry movement has
been unmasked. lie adds:
at is demonstrated beyond doubt that /
but for the sagacious dispositions Of this
army, and the bold vigorous and deter
minei recOnn 0issHces by the cavalry, Lees /
army would ere this have been in Mary
land, by the very route he chose last gasT1
This movement has been foiled. OF course,
he may invade by the way Of Williams
port, but that route is far more distant and |
dangerous for him than the one by way of
Nolsn's Ford and Frederick, and places
our army directly in his rear. At present /
he cannot invade Maryland by any point
east of Hsrper's Ferry"
The number of prisoners taken in Pleas
antOn's cavalry battles during the past
week is 45O, including 20 Offieers-smOng
them one Colonel, three Lieutenant Colo
nsls three Majors, and the rest line
officers.
