THE CASE, SEATED.

The following dialogue really took
place in this city on Friday last be-
tween an unconditional Union man
and Mcclellan copperhead. The
two had Just read the noon dis
patches giving an account of the
successes Of the army under Gen.
eral Grant:
Union Man--Well, what do you
think of the news?
Copperkead- don't believe it there
is nothing official; / must wait for au-
thentic information.
Union Adn-Suppose the news to
come as you wish, that Lee has repul-
sed Grant, and driven him back to
the intrenchments of Washington;
that johnson has whipped Sherman
and driven him back beyond Chat
tanooga-what chance do you Aink
Lincoln would then have in the
pending Presidential race?
Congratulations whatever. Nc
Cfellan would then carry almost
every State
Union Ndn-But suppose the oppo'
site-that Grant whips Lee and cap
lures Richmond; that Sherman whips
johnson and occupies Dalton and
Atlanta, and that these two Unior
armies are marching forward victori
ously, what then will be the result Of
the Presidential contest.
C0pperhedd-In that event Lin
coin would he easily elected.
Union Hen-Then you confess that
you belong to party whose car
didate has no chance of an election
except in the defeat and overthrow
of the armies of the nation. That
you so desire ! have every reason
to believe. but that the unsophis-
ticated millions who claim to be true
patriots will unite themselves with a
party that can only succeed in the
event that the country is humiliated
by defeat and disgraced by conquest,
passes my comprehension.
And thus the dialogue closed; not
another word did the copperhead
utter louisville Union Press.

DIED,

In Green township. Nav 6, 1864. Of Con-
sumption, Phillip Stafford, in the 2Ist year Of
his age.
The deceased was one Of our couhtry's SOL
dIers. He volunteered in the 4th Va Infant
ry on its first organization for the three wears
service, and remaiDed with the regiment while
IN West Virginia, and during the principle
nnrt OF its hard campaign IN the South, up to
the time Of his prostitution by disease.
We view him as one Of that tbrnDg Of pa
trlots, who, by t1eir noble daring, have been
as q covert from the threatening tempest Of
war TO thousands in the North who enjoy peace
IN their dwellings.
Ofimes when we have heard Of their
achievements in beating back the tide Of trea-
SOD, how fODdly have we hoped for, and joy-
fully anticipated the gentle iOwings Of peace.
But be, with other thousands, has fallen ere
the triumph Of the right
his suferings were prUtnctad and severe,
yet they were borne with patience and even
with eheerfulness
IN the earlier part Of his affiicti0n he seemed
to anticipate restoration to health; but when
he fOuno his end approaching. he was not
left in despair. He had fed to the Rock of
refuge, and realized in his affection the sus-
tslning and comforting grace Of God. In
bright antieipations of the better life, trusting
the merits Of Jesus, he sought and at length
obtained, release from all his sufferings.
His battles are fought and his victories
won; and it is no weary war worn land that
that rewards his toll but one delightful, all
peaceful and serene. .
The sOrrOwing friends we can only pointt to
Him who is as hiding place from the wind,
lnd u covert from the tempest; as rivers of
'atrr In a dry piace, as the shadow Off great
ock in weary land.

July rent became due, the defendant
rendered the amount in United States
Treasury Notes. which plaintiff refu-
sed 10 receive, demanding silver dol
lars. Suit was brought, and the de-
fendant pleaded tender as aforesaid.
To this plea the plaintiff filed re-
plication, averring that the defendant
did not tender in sJy. silver dolIarssr lI1rsr &@ mo.
ncy of the United States. of the nom.
NAL value of $3.50, but of 40 per
cent. less exchangeable value. To
this the defendant filed a special de-
murrer, aveiring that the promissory
notes so rendered were lawful money
of the United States, and a legal / ten
der in payment of all debts. This
demurrer was before the Court at the
December tenn, and was re- argued
at the present term by G. NJ. Whsr-
ton for plaintiff, and by George w.

cred by Juds. Hare, rendering judg-
ment on the demurrer for the defend
