abused, this "despot," or "tyrant," or
whatever else they please Is our friend
and trusty servant that this man whe
did so many high handed acts in his own
name, did no act that we, tho people,
speaking through the ballot-box, do not
ratify and mdorse With all our love
and respect for the great men whose
names have been mentioned by their
friends for the leadership of the Union
hosts, we cannot but think That any
change Of lesslers at this time would be
a grievous error. These good men can
wait. The coantry respects their fidelity
now, and will honor their patienee and
devotion in the future. But at this
time let us stand together; and having
followed Abraham Lincoln thus far. let
us follow him 10 the end The yrople
are naming him as their leader for an
other campaign, and we bow before their
voice as we bow before the voice of God.

FIRE.-The Brattleboro Phoenix says
"On Thursday of last week at about IL
o'clock in the forenoon, the dwelling
house of Dea. Oliver Carpenter, in the
North western part of this town, was
discovered to be on fire. 1t was one
story brick building, and help being at
hand the rapid progress of the flames
were prevented, so that the furniture
and provisions in the house were mostly
saved Two rooms were saved without
much damage, except that they were en-
tirely unroofed. Some outbuildings, sew
eral cords of wood, five hundred sap
buckets, and three pans for boiling sap
and heater, were destroyed The loss,
we understand, is estimated at ten or
twelve hundred dollars, partly covered
by insurance in the Farmers Mutual.

THURSDAY, JANUARY u, 1864.
From the Daily OF Jan. 10.

NEW HAMPsHmE CoPPBRHBApIsM.-The
copperheads of New Hampshire are in a
painful condition. Something aitlictS
them sorey. Their utterances in their
convention held few days ago, exhibit,
If possible more malignant phase of
the copperhead disease than has before
prevailed in New England. We cannot
account for IL, unless on the ground that
as the Union shows more and more en-
couraging symptoms of recovery from
its Affections, copperheads see further
and further into the pit of iniamy they
have dug for themselves, and grow more
and more malignant and lunatic accord
ingly. The following are two Of the
resolutions of the convention, which
will indicate the spirit of all
Resolred, That the freedom Of the bal
lot must and shall be maintained sacred
and invioable and that we, the De
mocracy of New Hampshire, will unite
with our brethren of other states by
force Of arms, if need be, i'm resistance to
every attempt, from whatever source it
nav come, to overrun or abridge, by
menaces or direct interference by mill
tary force, the independence and purity
of the ballot box in the ensuing cleo
tions, State and National and to this
end we pledge each to the other and to
our brethren of other states, our lives,
fortunes and sacred honOrs being firmly
resolved to maintain, at all hazards our
rights as free and patriotic citizens OF
the American Union. ...
They pledge their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honors to do something
"by force of arms" provided something
else happens. Better wait TIL 1t hap
pens. inasmuch as there is not the slight
est indication or probability that the
occasion mentioned for this force of
arms" will soon arise. But this trying
to make present capital out of future
improbable contingencies, is indicative
of their present desperate condition,
Again;
Resolved, That we do not believe that
the interests of either section OF the
Union, or the white race or the black,
demand the immediate and violent abo-
lition of slavery, nor that such pur-
pose is necessary, proper, or eonstltu-
tional object of the war, and that we
are opposed to the policy of the admin
istration as unwise, impolitic, cruel and
unworthy the support of a civilized and
Christian people,
That last is rather hard on the "peo-
pie" Pity they caunot be made to see
it. Judging from the overwhelming
popular vote OF 1868 to support the Ad-
ministration, what very un-"civilized -
and un- christian people it is.

FGRING CANNON UNDER WATBR.-Ex-
periments made by English gupers show
that cannon may be fired beneath the
water with powerful effect. An Arm
strong gun and several targets were ar
ranged at low water, and when the tide
had covered them the gun was fired by
means of a tube. The targets were
placed at fAgm twenty to twenty-five
feet from the muzzle of the gun. One
was composed of piles and oak planking,
of thickness of twenty-one inches; an
other consisted of the hull of an old ves-
sci, the Griper, laid on mud bank; a
third was made up of three inches in
thickness of iron boiler plates, bolted to-
gether and backed with timber. On all
these the effect OF shot and shell from
the submerged gun was very startling,
The wooden target was pierced through
and through, the iron target was broken
into pieces and driven into the backing,
the solid shot passed right through both
sides of the vessel, making a huge hole
through which the water poured in tor
rents; a shell with percussion fuse burst
in entering, opening up Il chasm of five
by three feet in the planking, shattering
the ribs and bursting up the deck beams
above.
The New York Post suggests that our
Ordnance Bureau ought to look at this
matter. If it is practicable to load and
fire cannon under water, then the defense
of harbors will receive new help; and
iron-c clads, no matter how heavily they
are armored above water, will be- as
weak and defenseless against such
submerged battery as the merest shell Of
wooden frigate. 1t is impossible to
arm floating vessel against such an as
sault.--Boston Journal.

Tn. CosFrscArRD LANDs.-Compiaint
is being made of the manner in which
the plantations are disposed of in some
Quarters of the South. The contisca-
ted lands it Is said, are sold in TOO
large parcels, so that none but men
of considerable capital are able to pur-
chase. Some of the soldiers of Port
Royal are reported to have written com
plainingly in the matter, and desire that
the lands be divided into smaller lotS,
that an opportunity may be afioraed
them to compete at the sales. So, too,
regarding the leasing of the plantations
along the Mississippi. None but capi-
talists can command the means necessa-
nv to procuring the stock and implements
for commencing operations upon the
large plantations; and the division of
them into small farms is called for.
If these complaints are founded in
fact, they certainly demand the serious
attention of the government The ma
tional troubles upon us have arisen from
the concentration of southern property,
in lands and slaves, into the hands OF a
few capitalists, and the creation thereby
of domineering aristocracy. 1t was
the influence of the institution of slave
~ it is true, which brought about this
concentration and created this aristocra-
cy. 1t deprived the masses of the south
ern whites of the ability to better their
condition by industry. 1t cut off OPP
portunities for enterprise on their part
and left them at the mercy of the few
who owned all the land and the slaves
to t.l it. But the evil will be only par
tally remedied, if the large plantations
Of the south are to fall undivided into
the hands of comparatively few CAPT
tnlists, as before, even though the insti-
tution of slavery be destroyed by the
war The southern states are to be re-
generated by the protection of the Union
lists in those states, who are not, gener-
ally, the large slave-owners; by afford
ing them equal opportunities for i'm
provement and elevation; and by the en-
terprise of northern men of moderate
means. Among the latter will doubtless
be more or less of the brave soldiers now
in our armies, who certainly deserve all
facilities in this respect that it is posi-
BILE for the government to provide.

GRAND NAVAL RACE PRoPosED.-Mr.
Fox, Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
has written to George w. Blunt, New
York, proposing, by authority of Secre-
tary Welles, to run one of the new navy
vessels against the fastest side wheel
steamer in this country, foreign or
American. The Eutaw, one of the only
class of side wheel steamers constructed
by the department, and known as dou-
ble-ender, is now at the Washington
Navy Yard, and will be sent around to
New York if race can be arranged. The
proposition seems fair one, and the
New York merchants, who have COM
planned most of the slowness and inetfi-
cheney of our navy, should see that the
challenge is accepted and fair trial
had.
