The Spirit Of the ARMY

The Rev. Geo. .Duffield, Jr of Detroit,
who is in the service of the Christian Com
mission at Bermuda hundreds, writes from
there as follows
'1ou make bold, as some of our newly ar
rived friends have done, to see if you cannot
elicit some information from the Lieut. Cen
eral himself. You bide your time until he
comes out Of his toni, and sits down leisurly,
with his inevitable cigar, but the substance
OF your. conversation, vary it as you Will, is
sure to come to just about this i have got
the rebellion by the throat, and Leo knows
it. do not say how many days, how MANY
weeks, or how many months, even, it will
take to crush it, but do say that it will be
crushed within the year. Lee is now so
much reduced that he cannot even afford a
victory II victory in an open field was GER
tain. All that l fear, and the onIyreal ground
OF fear, Is, lest our people at home may not
properly support the war. with one more
thorough and united effort, the rebellion is
at an end Such expressions as these were
so often and so freely repeated by General
Grant, and came to me over and over again,
so very directly, that have no doubt What
ever as to their genuineness and authentici-
ty. At all events, this, beyond question, is
the present spirit OF the army. The idea
OF blockading the James River, for of driv-
ing Grant out of his present position, and
other sensation stories of the New York, and
particularly of the Philadelphia papers. are
considered very capital jokes, but as for at
tachlng any further value to them, they
would just as soon think of believing tele-
graph from the man in the moon.

Ought to ba Excused.

The Milwaukee Meas excuses itself for
giving place in its columns to an official ad-
Yertisement calling upon the people to
make new loan to the Government. 1t
grudges even this small aid TO the Govern
ment although the advertisement is well
paid for, by the government it revlles, and
that it may not be guilty of allowing even
a paid advertisement to be of too great aid,
it fills up the number of the paper in which
it apears with the foulest abuse Of the adj
ministration.
''This administra ton party" it says;
"seems to have taken out a rowing commits
sion in search of grievances abroad, while
they overlook the caIamities at their own
door, of their own infiction They traverse
the ceuutry, and sacrifice blood and treas
ure to emancipate the African" Again
-"We never knew yet why the administra-
ton party should hate the constitution Or
hate the Union,or hate the ballot box, or
hate the people, or hate honesty in office and
fairness in popular elections But such is its
instinct aud all its practices accord with it."
And again, 'Four years ago all the States
were United, the country was rich and pros
porous, and the people were at peace among
themselves. Now we are cursed with OPP
pressive laws, and the lnerciless butchery Of
one another is the daily employment of the
strong men of the land" Those and many
others like them, are the arguments, held
out by the Meas to induce it's readers to re-
spond to the call of the Government for this
loan, which is advertised in its colnmns It
is pity that sufficient number of loyal
papers cannot be found to publish this ad
vertisement without having to resort to
such copperhead sheet as the Nevs whose
only business seems to be to abuse the admin
istration, and to praise and encourage the re-
bels-to bring into disrepute the Government
of the country, and to array the h ostile fact
ion against its every act and effort to sup
press the rebellion. The men who are in
the habit of reading such paper will not
be very likely to come to assist the Govern,
ment with their obuse in the way of loans
or otherwise.

From Mobile and Pensacola.

NEW YORK August 3.
A special to the Herald, dated New Or
leans, July 30. says '1nformation was re-
ceived at headquarters of the Department
Of the guilt, ION Thursday, that Admiral Far
ragnt had passed Forts Morgan and Gaines,
which had been supposed to command the
entrance to Mobile Bay, and is bombarding
the upper defences. If the information is
correct, the forts must speedily surrender.
The Admiral has now six iron-clads off
Mobile, and two more left this city to-day.
1.-The bombardment had been continued
for three days'and it is expected that the
city will surrender before the close of next
week.
General Gordon Granger will command
the land forces which will occupy Mobile,
and garrison the forts if perfect success
crowns the movements of Admiral Farra-
gut.
CAS- everybody here reports, on the 10Th
of July General Asboth, commanding at
Pensacola, left that. post with a small force,
and the next day came upon body of the
enemys cavaly, about 400 stroug, stron ely
intrenched at Fort Hobson. After sharp
light the rebels retreated leaving all their
ammunition, their flag, official papers, stores,
seven horses, etc.
General Asboth then returned to Peusa-
cola
Our forces have evacuated Browns vile,
Texas, and all the stores have been sent to
BrazQs and New Orleans"

History Repeating Itself

The following scale Of prices is from tn
Cazeno1ia Pilot, of December 30, 1913, by
which it will be seen that the prices of pro
visions during our war with Great Britar
|singularly correspond with those we now
pay:
''Without an unusual drain of the mar
ket,or new apprehensions of scarcity, and
with supply equal to what will be con-
sumed in the country for two years at the
lowest calculation, many articles have been
raised by the mania of speculation to more
than three times their former price and
higher than any just or reasonable circula-
ton can authorize or warrant Tea, which
formerly sold at 80 cents or a dollar is
now from IS to $3.50 per pound, Su-
gan, formerly at 50 or $40. is now $50 per
cwt. Salt, last year at 40 cents, is now S1,75
per bushel. Molasses, formerly 45 cents, is
now 81, 90 per gallon. Coffee, from 10 to
20 cents is at 40 cents per Id. Pepper, all
spice sect, are about double, and every other
article raised from their former value-we
mention wholesale prices. At what exact
point this mercantile madness is to stop no.

Practical Workings Of the Sanitary Com

The following is an extract from letter
from the Rev. DIR. Patton, from City Point,
Va, July 2S:
i lind the affairs of the United States
Sanitary Commission at this point reduced
10 perfect system, and affecting untold
good, under the energetic direction of DR..
J.H douglass and his co-laborers. The
amount of disbursements is enormous since
this campaign opened, averaging some
times $4,000 per day, for weeks together
One of the most important services rendered
the army has been the distribution of veg
etabes, to the extent of 10000 barrels, to
the men In the camp and especially to those
laborlng IN the trenches, in the sultry air
When it is considered that about 5000
men have been assisted, during the past
SIX weeks, some idea may be formed of the
extent of the work, and of the expenditure.
The commission employs steadily three
steamboats,, twenty-one army wagons four
barges, and force of nearly two hundred
and fifty men, merely at this scene of opera
TONS To meet such an immense OUTLAY
requires steady income, secured by SYSTEM
etc methods, rather than by sudden and
temporary schemes.
The army is now in good health, and
they mean to keep so.
A letter has been also received from
William Peckman, from this city who is a
private IN Grants army. He has been di O.
glng IN the trenches eighteen days. He says:

The Great C0pperbead CONSPIRACY,

The Chicago Tribune of Monday last says:
We publish in this issue another install
ment of the great Copperhead conspiracy,
brought to light at ST. Louis. 1t consists Of
the sworn confession of the Grand Secretary
of the O. A. X, Green b. Smith, who has
made clean breast of the whole thing, so far
as his knowledge extends Chas. L, Hunt,
the "Grand Commander" aud G. E. Dunn,
the Dept Commander, have also made vol
untary confessions under oath, fully corrob-
Grating all that Green tells 1t is a shock
ing exposition Of Copperhead plans, purpo-
ses and sentiments. The Grand Secretary
freely admits that the O. A. X. Democrats
arc hostile in every respect to the National
Government, and friendly to tn confede e
rates that the prevailing idea of the men,
bers is to unite Northern Democrats and
Southern rebels to overthrow the Govern
ment and secure dissolution OF the Union.
He swears that the order is thoroughly dis
loyal aud that the members in their lodge
rooms or Castles rejoice over the reverses OF
the Federal army, aud exult when the rebels
gain a victory.
VaIIandigham is the head of this treason
able order. He says that it is claimed that
100, 900 Democrats Gin Illinois and $4,000
Democrats in Indiana belong to this or
der, which may be an exaggeration.
The Copperhead papers try to turn the ex
posture to ridicule, calling it another Gun
