Prediction of Stephen A. Douglas.

We ask attention to the following remarka
pie prediction Of Stephen A. Douglas The
Hon. Isaac n. Arnold of Illinois, in his recent
tpeech in the House Of Representatives, has
be following interesting statement:
Here will pause a moment to state a most
Remarkable prediction made by Douglas in
January 1861. The statement is furnished to
me by General c. b. Stewart, of New York,
gentleman of the highest respectability.
Douglas was asked by General Stewart
Who was making New Years call on Mr.
Douglas, ~ hat viii be the result of tn
kforls of Jefferson Davis and his associates TO
divide the Union?' Douglas replied The
cotton States are making an effort to draw in
The border States to their schemes of secession.
Ind ] am too fearful they will succeed If they
DO succeed there will be the most terrible civil
war the world has ever seen, lasting for years.
Virginia will become a cbarnel house; hut the
Ind will be the triumph Of the Union cause.
oue Of their first efforts will be to take pos
lession OF this capital to give prestige abroad.
put they will never succeed in takipg it; the
North will rise eu maSSe to defend it; but ii
will become city Of hospitals, the churches
will be used fer The sick and wounded, and
even the M;upesola block Iuow the Douglas
Hospital may be devoted TO that purpose be-
forc the end of the war" Gen. Steward in
blurred what justification is there for all thIs2''
Douglas replied: There is 20 Justification nor
auy pre,euse Of any. II they remain in tie
Ullou | will 60 as far as the constitution will
permit to maintain their just rights and DO
lot doubt but u majority OF Congress will do
be same. "But." said he, IiSug on his feet
md exceeding his arm. III he southern States
attempt to seccde from ths Union without
urlher cause, am in favor of them having
nst as many slaves and inst as much slave
erritury as they can bold at the point of the
sayonet. and DO more"
The remarkable predictions of Douglas have
ome TO pass as the bloody contest has pro
;ressed, aud the Exp.whicb is Ast approaching
sin resnlt in a glorious triumph OF the Union
anse. Ii is then that the followers and ad.
nirers OF Douglas course, will feel themselves
Loudly proud and honored for the noble and
patriotic stand they have taken in the great

Administration for the suppression Of the pre-

CURRENCY MovEMExT.-We find the follow
ing in a Virginia City paper:
The limited number of sales of mining stocks
in the Boards of Brokers 10 this city has
tendency to make the aforesaid brokers
curious as TO the cause of it. They have finally
come to the conclusion that it is solely TO be
attributed to the scarcity of money, and are
endeavoriug to secure greater activity 10 the
stock market, by indorsing the United States
Treasury notes as currency.
We fear that Treasury notes will not save
the mining spectators. although their intro
duc.ion might delay the explosion, which j!

CoPPERHEAD HoAX-The following came

CoPPERHEAD HoAx.-The following came
over the wires on Saturday:
The New York World and Journal of Com
merce published, yesterday morning, what
purported 10 be a proclamation from the Pres
dent, appointing day of humiliation and
prayer; also, calling for 100000 troops. In a
second edition, the World says, in common
with other city papers, it was made the victim
of a malicious hoax by some scouudrel who.
initiating the manifold copy Of the Associated
Press, sent copies TO all the papers. The
Herald printed large edition. but discovered
the hoax in time to suppress it. The World
and Journal Of Commerce are under seizure of
the Provost Guard for this publication
Neither office published paper to day
The office of the Independent Telegraph line
at New York, Philadelphia and W ashington
are closed up. The reason is supposed to be
transmitting bogus documents from " WashDg-
ton. Several persons bave been arrested. and
will be tried by military tribunal, for having
reasonably attempted to give aid and comfort
to the enemy.
The Bulletin says the author Of this hoax is
said to be one Howard, formerly attached to
the New York Times. This Howard left the
Times, last fall. and was lately and probably at
the time of bis arrest city editor of the Brook
lyn Eagle, Copperhead Journal of large local
circulation.
Gov. Seymour has written letter to District
Attorney Hall in relation to the seizure Of the
World aud Journal Of Commerce, in which he
says: 1T is charged these acts of violence were
done without due legal process, without sane
ton Of State or National laws; and, if This is
true, the offenders must be punished. Any
action against the above named journals outside
of the Courts is illegal" The Governor states
his views at some length, and concludes thus !:
In making your inquiries, and in prosecuting
parties implicated you will call upon the Sheriff
Of the county aud heads of the police department
for any needed force and assistance. Failure
to give this by any official under my control
will be deemed a sufficient cause for removal.
The Governor seems deeply aggrieved at the
seizure of these Copperbead sheets. If the
Tribune had been seized, instead be would
most probably have said nothing about "acts
of violence"

respondent of the Sacramento Union. writing
from Susanville, May l9,h, gives long account
of the late election in Lasseu county, and tells
how the Union men happened to run two tick
cts. The county seat question did the mischief
but the people promise that they will not divide
their strength again. 1t appears that the
Copperheads won 20 victory, after ALL All
their boasting dwindles down to this-they
have elected one officer, A Il. Brown, for A s.
SCISSOR, and claim two Others, who discaim them
and have come out and declared themselves
genuine Union men. The Copperheads had no
intention Of running ticket until they found
Union men making separate nominations when
they stepped in to make some political capital,
but they failed of their object.
