The soldiers in Gen. Hooker's army are
holding Indignation meetings to denounce TIE
| Copperheads in the North.
1t has been noticed that Gen. Wright had
closely restricted the sale of arms in Cincin-
natl. The reasons assigned are that the K.
u. C.s and other copperheads are quietly get
ting hold of arms and ammunition to resist the
draft. A similar order has been given by
den. Carrngton at Indianapolis
AT Centerville, Montgomery CO., Ohio, a
lew day ago, Copperhead meeting was to be
held in church. Before the hour somebody
raised the American flag on the church, but
two very malignant Copperheads tore it down
ana crammed i into the stove. This aet.e1

A friend residing in this ciE, VINO is on
visit to Owosso, Michigan, infrms US OF q very
singular and unaccountable afMr, ina. Is HOW
transpiring in Bush TOWNSHIP, i've miles nortn
Owasso.
A farmer named Stearns, lreslding In tnat
town, hos an adopted daught4 by t9e name OF
Freeman, who is ten years Of fge. w ME tnis
little girl was sweeping the Afr OF tne SUING
room, about week since, sha discovered the
carpet to be on fire, and the inmates having
put out the flames undertook 2 learn us OH
gin. There had been no fire ballt In the room
that morning no light had ben carried INTO
the room, nor could the family in any way ac-
count for the fire. In less th3b an hour, names
were seen issuing from some fgs IN another
room. The same day the girIs CLONES caught
fire, and damp towel that NE otearns had
used in wiping her face, uponyelng nung on
nail, commenced burning. Itls last occur
renee took place in the presenfsof some twe'e
persons some of whom are 4rong tne most
respectable citizens of the pace. Next
straw stack near Mr.. Stearn'4 house was con-
sumed AT one time, when anumber OF per-
sons were In the house, thd alling of some
heavy substance was heard p the cnamDer,
directly above their heads. Upon gong up
stairs it proved to be bag fld with DOCKS
and rags, and suspended by a tord to beam.
The bag was ON fire, and the tnng was also
burning when the parties entdted the room.
Mr.. S. and family became much alarmed
by these movements that theyEft their home.
When the furniture was bein9noved, trunk,
said not to have been opened u more than
year, was discovered to be on3ire, and when
opened, the flames burst forth, consuming all
its contents.
The family are now living Sa house some
three miles distant from their farm, but the
mysterious torment, termed bj the doubling
humbug," by the spirituali4, the {" mani
festations of the spirit, ,".by hMillerites, "the
period of fire and brimstond and by DIR.
Tappan, I" the works of the 1gyil," is bound
to stick to them like brothel
No sooner had the girl dered her new
home than her clothes took I'd in three differ
ent places. And now, one ottr family, where
she has visited. are as badly Hmented as the
family of Mr.. Stearns.
In Owosso, as well as in thu adjoining vii
lage of Baruna, the excitements most intense.
People are fiocking from eyty direction to
witness this truly wonderful mtery. Some of
the most profound scholars of u State, among
whom are DIR. Tappan, Chanc*or of the Uni
versity of Michigan, Presdet Fairchild of
Hnlsdale College, and others have been to
''see the sights" and all agre that there are
mysteries beyond the depth o the closest OBJ
servers.

God was about to be inflicted BON the heads
of his wicked people" Ander old bloated
Democrat says that the causef which our ar

vastate the whole North. WI suspect, how
ever, that good practical chfist and skill

TERRIBLE INCIDENT OF THE FAMINE AT
THE SoUTH.-The New. Albany Ledger an
nounces terrible calamity the family Of
Prof Nutting, "a musician of superior accomplish
ments, gentleman of fine social qualities, and
formerly tutor of the far famed "New Albany
Silver Band" Unfortun.. tely, Prof. Nutting
who left New Albany for the South prior to
the breaking out of the rebellion, became poi
soned by that fatal error secession, and enlist
ed as a musician in the rebel army, leaving his
wife and several beautiful and interesting chill
dren to the care of Southern patriots, who
promised him that they should not want for
anything.
I he band to which Prof. n. was attached
was soon dispensed with, and the members re-
duced to the ranks. Then these promises, like
all others made by the rich and leading trai-
tors, was soon broken, and not long since two
of Prof. Nutting's little children died Of actual
starvation at Jackson, Miss. and his heart
broken wife, after suffering from illness and
hunger, was finally sent through our lines and,
by means of funds supplied by the charitable
and sympathetic, forwarded to the home of her
parents in Michigan. Cases of starvation
among the families Of Southern soldiers are by
no means uncommon occurrences. The desti-
tuition in the South is really terrible to contem
plate.

GEN. BANKS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
TAE GULF.-The following is the conclusion
of a business letter written to Governor An
drew by Major General Banks:
notice in the papers at the North report
that certain regiments, or detachments, or sol
diers of my command, have been permitted or
ordered to return TO their masters, against
their will, to stand guard over, and to fog the
slaves in this department. 1t give me pleas
ufe to be able to say that it is without founda-
tion or justification. In fact, in statement and
in implication, it is utterly and UNANIMOUSLY
false.
AS it is made reproach to Massachusetts,,
that such orders are given by one of her citl-
zens, desire to say to you, the Chief Execu-
tive Magistrate of the State, having had many
of her unsurpassed regiments under my COM
mand, that | can bear constantly in mind that
| am son of Massachusetts, and grateful as
the remembrance may be to me and mine,
have yet greater satisfaction in the fact that as
an officer of the army of the United States,
following the instructions of the President and
the laws of the land
have never performed, or permitted, or
passed without It's appropriate censure, any
act inconsistent with my duty, with the spirit
and principles of the people among whom i
was born /; or that justly interpreted, would
not meet their approval, without party dis
tlnctlons.
Our country has many sorrows, and has yet
to encounter many natural trials-nons great
er than those engendered by wanton and
wicked perversion of truth. In the hands OF
strong men truth alone is an adequate remedy
for all evils. 1t aids every cause, and sup
ports all men. If the people Of Massachusetts
pant for greater sacrifices of blood and treas
ure than they have made, and yet must make
in the defense of their great cause, let them
foster national spirit of wanton and shame
less mendacity. 1t will open an abyss, deep
enough and dark enough to swallow all the
children that may spring from their loins for
unnumbered generations.
