The Copperheads. by their persistency
in rendering aaid aud comfort" TO the
rebels, are endearing themselves to the
enemies Of their country. The rebels con-
fess their confidence in them. The At
lanta Ga.) Register e1horts the Copper
heads to persist in their hostility to the
Government, and adds:
We can gain nothing BY denouucing
them. We may loose much BY present-
ing hostile front to their peace move
ments. Live with them under the same
government We never will. Bot, ia the
meanwhile, If they will use the ballot box
against Mr.. Lincoln, while We use the
cartridge box, each side will bs helper
to the other, and both co-opsrate il

the country and this continent have Wit
