ooPPERHEADS IN New HAMPsHIRE.-The
character of the New Hampshire copperbead
leaders, who have just been 50 summarilv de-
feated in their reasonable plans NAV be in
ferred from the address of one 7 n HrDnt,v
at Newington, recently. MURPHY summed
the State for HARRINGTON, the Democratic
candidate for Governor. He said:
''Rather than submit four wears lonoer -
Abe Lincoln, and be overrun by the 6ordeS
of his hireling soldiery, let US ring ont tho
cry of old, TO your tents, 0, Israelr Dem
ocrats should arm and organize into drill
clubs, companies, battalions, regiments and
brigades, for these blood-thirsty Abolitionists
and shoddyite thieves and traitors are a wind
brok ken, spawned, dyspeptic race, and one
regiment OF Democrats could whip three of
OF them. Our armies have ACCOMPLISHED
nothing; the Army of the Potomac is a grand
picnic excursion, eating up the substance of
the nation, and coming home to vote down
the liberties of the people, and render our
elections farce and mockery to the world"
The people of New Hampshire have re-
sponded to these reasonable appeals and
have administered such rebuke to conner
headism as may well warn the leaders in other
States.

CoLoRED SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT OF Co
LUMBA.-There are large number of schools
for the instruction of colored children in the
District of Columbia. A recent report on
the subject discloses the fact that beside the
schools supported by taxation upon the
property of colored men, there are eight
schools taught gratuitously by Government
employees, and crowded with eager, earnest
learners, mostly adults, and many of them
freedmen who have congregated there from
points in the slave States reached by our
armies. .- .... ..s.-.

DEMOCRATIC CoNsPIRACY.-The statement
has been made that, out of ninety-six colonies
appointed by Gov. Seymour, all but one are
Democrats Facts of this nature cave rise
to rather an acrimonious debate in the New
York Legislature recently. Several Demo
cratic speakers having complained of the
charges of disloyalty thrown out against their
party, Gen. Crooke, of Brooklyn, an old Dem
ocrat, is sketched as responding:
Everybody knew that Democrats, as a
body, were not all secessionists but it was a
lameutable fact that when a man was found
whose svmpathies were with the rebels he
naturally sagged over to the Democratic party
For this he did not blame the Democratic
party-it was their misfortune. This brought
down the house. He said that on his return
from Gettysburg with the Brooklyn troops
last July, ne was informed that organizations
were forming for secret purposes. He made
Investigations in relation to this matter, and
ascertained that there were in Kings county
two such, with over fifteen hundred members
each, sworn to oppose any draft by the Gen
eral Government, and to stand by the State :;
and further, that every man Of these ,7as either
so-called Democrat or an alien He did not state
this on hearsay, but as an actual fact"
"DoNATE" AND ''BALANCE."- Donate"
never had the fortune to hear from the lips
of any person of average culture but have
seen it written and printed by men who should
have been ashamed to use such language.-
Of late it has broken out with renewed vio-
lenCe among many Of those whose nervous
excitement about the Fairs for the Sanitary
Commission has made them unusually sus-
ceptible of deleterious influences, against
| which they would have been proof in their
usual state of health. The word is a mon
ster, an utter abomnation and why any one
should use it when we have give" ''pre-
sent" "bestow," and contribute" and other
| words, which are words, to express the same
act in all its various notifications, passes my
poor understanding ] guess, however, that
a notion that "donate" is a more dignifed,
elegant, and impressive word than give" is
at the bottom of this absurdity.
The use of ''balance" for crest" ''rcmain-
der" "residue," is an equally useless and an
almost equally offensive outrage upon our
language. 1t smacks of the "shop," too :;
and seems to be a sign that those who use it,
except N its proper accountants sense, have
no thought or knowledge beyond their ledg-
ers, which is not true of our men of business.
Would any man in his senses dare to quote
King David as saying, 'They are full Of chill
dren, and leave the balance of their substance
unto their babes 2" or read, "Surcly the
wrath of man shall praise thee: the Jalance of

A Desperate Prize Fisht.
7. Z. HICKS, Sec'y.

Our readers will remember Frank Tessot,
who figured in a prize fight at Sandwich a
few years ago. We announced not long
since that a fight had been arranged, for
| SO, 500, between Tessot and Joseph Cibloni,
of Philadelphia. Tessot is a Frenchman,
and has for some time resided in this State
His weight is 81 pounds. Cibloni is an
Italian, weight 1919 pounds. He has fig
ured in numerous fights, having left nine Of
his antagonists dead on the field. The fight
came off as arranged, on the first of May, at
Oporto, a little town near the Grand Trunk
road, about 500 miles from this city. The
day was snowy and unpleasant, but a large
crowd assembled to witness the fight, which
lasted altogether nine hours, fftysix rounds
being fought. Both men were knocked
down and blood drawn on each on the first
round. It was fought with the greatest
spirit and determination throughout, one or
the other being knocked down on each
round. On the last round, as the ground
was slippery and snowy, Tessot's foot slip
ped and he came down upon his knees.
Cibloni Immediately caught him around
the neck and checked him. Tessot, by a
desperate effort, raised himself, and hurled
CiblQni upon his back, placed his knee
upon Cibloni's breast. crushing it complete
ly, and struck him FIVE blows in the face,
battering it into one shapeless mass.
Clbloni expired without a struggle or groan.
Tessot is now lying in hopeless condition;
having been given up by his physicians.
1t was one of the most desperate fights on
record
