Gen. Stuart, has furnished US with
some particulars, obtained from the
Generals own lips, Of the manner in
which he came by his wound. iIe
had formed a line Of skirmisherS near
the Yellow Tavern, when, seeing i
brigade preparing TO charge on hi:
left, Gen Stuart and bis staff dashed
down the line to form troops to repel
the charge. About this time the
Yankees came laundering down upon
the General and his small escort
Twelve shots were fired at the Gen.
eral at shor, range, the Yankees evi.
IDENTIFY recognizing his well-known
person. The General wheeled upon
them with the natural bravery which
has always characterized him, and
discharged six shots at his assailants.
The last OF the shots fred u him
struck the General in the left side. OI
the stomach. He did not fall, know
ing he would be captured if he did
and, nerying himself in his seat
wheeled his horses head aud rode for
the protection Of his lines. Before lIe
reached them his wound overcame
him, and he fell, or Was helped fronl
his saddle, by one Of his ever-faithful
troopers, and carried to place OF Sc,
curity. Subsequently he was brought
to Richmond in an ambulance. The
immediate cause Of his death WAS
modification Of the stopach induced
by the flow OF blood from the kidneys

stomach.
Gen Stuart was about IS years ol
age. His oldest offspring, a spright,

THE COPPERREAD CHURCH

Anfeccdents Of the Editor Of the Chris.
t1an yy1tncxs.

The Marietta (O.) Register gives the follow
ing account Of the antecsde1ts Of the Rev. J.
R. Given, editor, Of the Christian Wstuess,
The organ Of the new copperhead "Church."
Dir. Given Is not unknown to fnme''
among our readers. He was q graduate of
Marietta College, class Of 1877, with the edl-
tor OF this paper. He was under the patron
age Of bis UNCLE, Dr. Peter Holt of Union
county, KY, who WAS practical abolition
list. Some eight years since Dr. Holt eman-
cipatcd his slaves, about twenty in number,
md removed them to Lawrence county. il,
this State, He removed to 1ronton himself,
and spent the remainder Of his days In SUI
perintending the freedom Of those who had
been bis elaYes-bps ing small farme for some,
and establishing others Ia business to which
they were suited. They were of a very
es1ikeIy' set Of colored people-sucl in free
dom. DR.. Holt died about three yeara ago,
believe, and always previous to his removal
to Ohio, with his emanclpated slaves, had
lived In slave State. Hc WIS = fine old
gentleman. Such was tho man under whose
Influence Mr.. Given, In measure, grew up,
and under whose patronage 1e received his
education.
After leaving college, Mr.. Given became
connected with tho Ohio Conference, and
coon rose to prominence in that body. He
was stationed at prominent points, such Us
GAINESVILLE, Portsmouth, Ionton, and others
Of the larger towns in the Conference. The
influence Of that body for freedom appears to
have but little weight with him, whose
ssbcnt' seems to be contrary to the teachings
he early received, indirectly, If not directly.
The war broke out, and he was not an sun-
conditional Union man." He was charged
with disloyalty by bis brethren of the church.
At any rate, be was intensely proslaycry, and
could sec no Constitution, no Union, no
Country, no Government, no Freedom, and
His connection with the Conference was dis
solved last year. He became stump-speak
er for VnllandIgham, a stconvicted trnitor.''

Although Arkansas Is the second of tho &C.
coded States to hold m election in renewed
allegiance to the Constitution, she will be
the first to resume her place in the Union.
On the lath fnstant she adopted her new free
Constitution by q popular vote of over ten
thousand, In spite Of the threats, and in many
places the actual interference Of rebel guer-
illas. Three mcmbers are elected to the
House of Representatives from the several
districts. The Legislature, which meets next
month, willproceed to I'LL the vacant seats
in the United States Senate. The Governor
elect Is 1eaac Murphy, who was "faithfal

Hon that voted Arkansas out Of the Union.

When Gov. johnson was esteemed bless
ing to the country, 1t wns when he advocated
slavery. Now that he fayors Its eradication
from Tennessee, the Journal calls him
"curse to his country" The touchstoue Of
q mans usefulness and value to his country
in eyes Of the Louisville print, depend
upon his fealty to the sum ofall vIlIalnies.'
With It patriotism is not the lore Of country,
or Of free institutions, but devotion to slav-
cry. The Journal has abandoned the Union
party aud cause, and gone over boiSg, ,.soul
and brcccbcs to coppczhcadlsm for the sake
Of saving slavery. Its editor calls on the
loyal people Of Kentucky to send delegates
to the Chicago copperhead convention, to
j4se with the enemies Of the Union, because
that convention, 1t Is supposed, will be run
in the interests of elaveEy. The Journal has

The prouutness or -the West Compli-
mented bv the Eat.


from the New ork 41WeS
In d very sensible article on the relative
promptnees of the different States to furnish
their quotas of soldiers, the New York Times
remarks that "tAe States which are delin-
quent may shut their EYES, Il they please, but
Stand cs long ns the Republic stands, and
will eyer be Z traditional glory Or rcp1oaeh.
It will be- taken as q sure index Of tho differ
ent qualities ofthe patriotism Of the different
Suites, In tho time that tried mems soals,"
We don't believe It possible to lind any
difference between the States in the prompt
,itude Of their response to theca Of the
general Government. These causes, weigh
them as ILLEGALLY na VIC may, fall far short of
supplying q satisfactory explanation: Com
ing generations, We may be aaro, WILL make
vert small accounts OF them, even II
they note them at all. They VIII como
precisely to tho same conclusion that we our
selves do when surveying the old rcVolu-
tianary records Of the supplies Of troops by
the different colonies. We make these re-
spcctive supplies criterion Of tho earnest
nees Of the respective colonies ID the re7olu-
tionary cause. There Is no perfect patriotism
but that which constralus man to fight, If
need be, as we'll as talk and vote for his coun-
try. II man who is able, will not fight
when called upon, wc say that his patriotism
Is Of poor quality. How can we avoid say
ing the same thing Of i State that ID nble, and
and yet does not furnish Its supply aftlghters
Wien called upon?
The loyal States are divided Into four great
divisions-thc Eastern States or New Eng
lard. the Middle States, the West and Bor.
der States, In examining the table, we find
that previous to the cal1 Of last week, the
number Of soldiers due on former calls from
the Six New England States was 8, 8,50f-from
the four Middle States, New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, 100, 499-ana
from the five Border Statea, Delaware, Mary
land, Western Virginln, Kentucky, and Mis-.
souri,, IS, 86T-Whil. In the seven Western
States there was an aggregate credit Of forty
one koutand sir AundrSd and niufty. Regard
being had to the ratio Of the population, the
deficiency In the Border States Ia about
twelve and q half out Of a thousand !;
In the Middle States about ten out of i thou.
out ofa thousand; while the Western States
there Is a positive overplus Of nearly one In
O thousand
This exhibit Is most extraordinary. But
extraordinary 10 It. is 1t cannot be contradict
ed. The data are official: the results are as
certain as arithmetic. What do they mean
Is 1t indeed true TINT there is this gradation
In the quantity Of the patriotism Of the differ
ent divisions OF. the so-called loyal part OF
the country? Must We admit that the West
is first in the carncstness Of her devotion to
the old nag, New England next, the Middle
terval) and the Border States last? twin
20 hard, but that history will write the same
thing Of us. There is no possible way for
New York and her sister Central States to
avoid it, but In making amends for their
comparative backTardness in the past, by
redoublcd exiertions in the future.

"Your speaking Of Mcclellan leads me to

the nomination Of Mcclellan by the Demo-
cratic party, as its next Presidential candi-
dale, had been determined upon months aro.
No secret is made OF it hcrc-you may rely

than narrator.
Up to the time of the appearance of Nc

dicc-;. but Mcclellan has enlightened the
world upon this as upon bis other fact. that

implies d history, an argument, a

From what can learn, over hundred Of

Our readers will reco1lcct the case OF a. G.
johnson, whs was tried and found guilty at
Rock Island, some two months since, for
the murder Of Lau1ina Roe, little girl some
ten years Of age, the murder having been
committed nearly three years previous to
the trial, and about two years before the
body of deceased was found. Application
was made by counsel for the prisoner for 4
new trial, and change Of venue. Both were
granted, and the case taken to the Circuit
Court Of Henry county. The trial lasted
about a week, md resulted in q verdict Of
not guilty: The result Of the trial turned
upon the theory Of the prosecution shat the
girl Ind been killed BY blows On the head
with hammer, or some like instrument,
whereas the jury, by the evidence Of phyei-
ciare, we're convinced that certain holes in
tLe--skpll Of the murdered child resulted
from other causes, and on this the prisoner
YVES cleared, although all seemed to be Of the
mind TINT johnson caused the death Of the
little girl, not In the manner claimed by the
prosecution, but In q way known only to the
murderer himself. In this way Justice has
probably been cheated Of q legitimate victim.
