Ing Democrats tt,c awful nbys. to which such

men: As one honest Democrat said In my
hearing at Valparaiso the other day, after

Ill have none of it."
4 UNION PREACHER.
In some Of the disloyh sections Of the
state, where ordinary men cannot utter. a
loyal word without endangering their Lives,
there are some persons who do not hesitate
TO lnt up their voices and denounce traitors
and treason. Such a one ia Rev. Mr.
weaver, Of Muddy Point, Coles county.
Having during the services on Sunday
last preached IN excellent Union ser
mon aud prayed for The success Of our cause,
several of the Copperhead members felt
themselves aggrleyed, and waited outside for
the termination Of the services to give the
damned abolitionist a good thrashlDg."
Alter tho exercises, Mr. Weaver walked out
the church door, and was Immediately as
sau1ted BY strapping descendant OF chiva1'
~. This aroused the lion In tue meek-mtAd
ed preacher, and he laid out right and lett,
and beat and mangled the Copperhead who
had struck him until he roared like cali and
vas glad to beg for mercy. His two brother
Coppefheads, seeing how severely punished
was their companion, took to their heels to
escape the wrath evidently to come. Bod.

SPIRIT OF OUR AkMY-Capt. r. M. Allison,
of the I'd N. .. Cavalry, in q letter to friend in
this County, furnishes the following gratifying In
formation concerning the condition Of our army iu
Northern Virginia: "Our army is larger than it
at this period last year, better clothed, bet
ter fed better shod better organized and n better
spirits; that it has never been whipped-moreover,
never will be whipped The people, some of them,
at home, may be subjugated, but the army uever!"
We have conversed with n number Of veteran sol
diers, all Of whom corroborate Capt. Asons state
ment This is truly gratifying intelligence, aud
should put to silence those croakers and disorgan-
izers at home, who, instead Of lsboring for the
cause, are seeking every opportunity to dishearten
our brave soldiers in the field and encourage the
foe. Let us, first, achieve our independence, and
then hold each other responsible for consequences

Our CURRENcY.-Every man who owns q four
per cent bond has made thirty ythree and one.third
per cent, aside from the contingent profit that
may accrue from holding tLe bond. Let our peo-
pie bear this fact in mind, and invest oil they can
in the new securities. Thoughtess people may
suppose that because the present currency is to be
taxed thirtythree and one-thrd per cent after the
first of April, it is therefore deprecated. Such is
not the case. Every outstanding note to-day is
reason that if funded in season, il commences
thereafter to bear interest, which it does not do
at the present time. Hence it is wise provision
Of the Government, which, whilo seeking to d.
minish q redundant circulation, not ouIy protects
the holders of its currency, but actually pays q
profit to every individual who avails himself Of the
