Col. T. Lyle Diekey. in the army at Mem
nhis, wrote letter to the Coppcrhead ''Peace
Meeting at BelIeyillc, from which VIC make
afew extTacts:
I ask you to say, in my behalf. to the De-
moc1lcy Of your county, that, iu my humble
Judgment, our suffering and beloved country,
at this time, perhaps, more than erer before,
demands the exercise of their wisdom, energy,
them sec to it, TINT they do not permit them
selves to be provoked to do any wrong by the
wickeluess and folly of Others.
Our Government is assai1cd By a most
wicked and formidable rebellion in the South.
Ambitious anu designing leaders were enabled
to set on foot, and, so far, to sustain this re-
Let the conservative masses Of the Dcmoc-
racy, inviting the cooperation Of conservative
men Of every party, aid and support our ar
mics in the overpowering Of the military force
caIly. ever preserving that spirit Of fraternity
which will enable us to live in harmony with
tile people Of the South, when the rebellion
shall hnye been put down.
4 few designing men in your midst, who
really synlpathize with the present wicked re.
belIion, would inflame your passions, and
thus lead you to aid the rebellion by with
holding from the Federal Government your
| proper support and subordination. Let them
not succeed. They are merely co-oper,tort
with the radicals in sapping the foundation:
| against all appeals to sectional prcjudices
| whether directcdagain New England or Soutt
| Carolina Mark that man as dangerous to III:
| country, who would teach you to hate any
! section Of our great country, whether thai
section be the South or the East.

THE INVENTIVE FACULTY.

The inventive faculty for which our
countrylncn arc so greatly distinguished,
is rot limited to labor-saving machines.
By their fertility Of falsehood, the Copper
heads are every day proving that the Gre
alive quality is as strong in the political as
in the mechanical world, and that it is still
true that necessity is, with them, as with
the nan who deals with material things,
the mother Of invention. Estoppcd from

which the following is 4 synopsis:

Geo. Q. Cannon, went to Washington last
spring, and in vain cndcarorcd TO secure the
admission Of this State. Congress TOOK no
action OH the petition. They, and J. M.
Bernhiscl, are still diligently laboring for the
same object. 1t is the privilege of American
citizens to govern themselves; still, says the
Governor, we prefer to conform to established
usuagcs, and hope soon to be regularly admit
ted. The State is in condition Of great pros
pcrity. Its population, during the past sea-
son, has been increased by several thousand
imm'grants,its southern settlements strength
cned, cotton is to be grown, machinery has
been imported especially for manufacturing
wool, and there is every reason for encourage
ment MS to future prospects.

A nun named Yates, from Perry county,
Indiana, very nearly came to grief the other
day at Louisville, for inducing soldier to de-
kert from the New Albany Hospital. By the
permission ofDr. Fry, the hospital physician,
Yates was permitted to visit and remain with
his brothcf who WAS In the hospital, sick.
Here Yates induced his brother to desert,
and took him home to Perry county, where
bT false representations be procured ccrtifl-
Gates from two physicians, alleging the disa-
bility of his brother. lie also attempted to
bribe DR.. Fry, Of the Hospital, to procure
from him disability certificate. Dr. Fry
ordered him under arrest. He was sent to
Louisville, tried BY Il court-mnztial, and
about to be sentenced to be shot,
when Dr.. Fry, deeming his punlsh-
mcnt sufficient to give him good
lesson, intcrfcrcd on his behalf, and hc was
discharged, after taking the oath Of allegiance
