WThe COpDerheads."

The way in which the new political
sect in this country obtained the name
by which they are now so generally desig-
mated, is explained in Ha'per's Weekly
as follows:
"Mr. Clement Vallandigham, member
of Congress from Ohio made a speech
last week in which he avowed himself

home have likewise rejoiced in the title.
1t becomes interesting to inquire what it
means and how it came to be applied to
a class of politicians A copperhead, ac-
cording to the American Cyclopedia, is
an enormous serpent; the head is thick,
the neck contracted, and its scales
smooth; there are no rattles, the tail be-
ing short; near the flank are round dark
blotches; it prefers dark and moist
places; it gives no warning of its prox-
unity; feeds on mice, small birds, &c. ;
and seldom attacks man. 1t is slow and
clumsy in its motions, and very slight
blow suffices to kill it. Itis also called
'chunkhead' and deaf adder 1t cannot
be denied that the analogy between this
loathsome creature and the mean sneak

the Northern mind with cries of peace, /:
quite striking. Like the copperhead, the

A Tennessee Hero.

There are many names in Tennessee,
and particularly in the Eastern portion
of that State, which the loyal people will
anu tno ~ or u. s,.u VIZ pe iet'u
present generation look back at the demi-
gods of the Revolution. A letter from
Cincinnati, of recent date, gives some
account of one of those noble-hearted
Tennesseans, and as the story came from
the lips of a dying man, it is probably
truthful. The writer states that among
the rebel prisoners at Camp Dennison,
Ohio, was one named Neil, who, when
asked how he came to be rebel, stated
that the seeessionistS scared him into it.
He had been postmaster in Van Buren
county, Tennessee, and Union man.
The rebels held three elections in that
county, but got hardly solitary vote in
Neirs precinct Enraged at this, they
imported force of soldiers, and began
to lynch unarmed Unionists. This style
of procedure made some converts, but it
was withstood. Among the victims Neil
spoke of-and as he knew that he was
dying he reminded his hearers of his OBJ
legation to speak the simple truth-was
the martyr patriot, whose history he thus
recited
"There was in Van Buren county an
old Methodist preacher of great deal of
ability, named Cavender. He was from
the first most determined Union man,
and as his influence in the country was
great, they determined to make an ex-
ample of him and get him out of the
g tbo +ool- &c L..
put rope round his neck, and, setting
him upon horse, led.him into forest
They then told him that unless he would
publicly renounce his. Unionism they
would hang him. Cavender replied,
God gave me my breath to bear wit
ness to his truth, and when | must turn
! it to the work of lies and crime, it is
we'll enough to yield it up to Him who
gave it. They then asked him if he had
! any parting request He said, he had
no hope that they would attend 20 any
thing he might ask They said they
would. He then requested that they
would take his body to his daughter, with
the request that she would lay it beside
! the remains of his wife They then said,
Its time to 90 to your prayers. He
replied, L am not one OF tne sort VINO
has to wait until rope is round his neck
to pray They then said, Come, old
man, no nonsense; if you don't swear to
stand by the Confederacy you'll have to
hang, at the same time tying the rope
to branch The old nan said, Hang
