A Slanderous Assertion.

Some Copperhead who knows not tht
truth, has started the slanderous story
that the Ohio soldiers Of one hundred
days were almost mutiuous in their resis

In distant papers the story is published
for Copperhcad consumption, but it is a
lie that could gain no circulation here

heard from boats that met them near the

Geld of operations they were filed with
enthusiasm at the prospect Of joining the

Another Victory.

The victory of SHERIDAN over EARLY,
the particulars of which may be found in
our Geographic reports, is an important
military item, and materially lessen the
disadvantages under which GRANT labors
in the reduction of Richmond. 1t is to be
presumed that this great success will be
followed up by the speedy and entire oc-
cupation of the valley OF the Shenandoah,
and that we shall soon be able to operate
upon the railroad communications from
that direction. The military signs are ev-
cry way encouraging; and it needs but
the election of General MCCLELLAN in
November next, to secure the organization
of great Union party in the South and
the overthrow of the DAVIS government.
Under LINCoLNs administration all our VIC
tories are barren of results, because thew
are won in the prosecution of policy
which concentrates am embitters the dis

from Gen. SHELLEY:
Brig. Gen. Sibley, in an official dispatch says

$500 warriors, of whom 1900 are now ac-
lively hostile, 250 DESTROYS of peace. and ], $50
(Chippewas) avowedly friendly, but who would
not hesitate at any time to raise the tomahawk,
if not restrained by fear of consequences. He
recommends as permanent policy, concentra-
ton and military surveillance OF the several
bands and tribes, adding that when they find
they must cease to depend upon the chase for
food and must work or starve, they will agree
to vny reasonable conditions the Government
may see fit to impose, and that it is becoming
more and more manifest that some such fixed
policy as that indicated must be adopted by the
Government with reference to the great tribes
of Indians North and West of US before ner-
manent peace can be restored on our extensive
border"
If Massachusetts had on her borders
1900 hostile Indians "ready at any time
to raise the tomahawk," she would de-
mand from the government an equal num-

Elsewhere will be found an account from
the Missouri Democrat Repub.) of the
breaking up of a MCCLELLAN meeting in
st. Louis by soldiers, who were doubtless
melted to the work by some of the radical
politicians of that city. We feel confident
that every good citizen, no matter what
his political sentiments may be, will hear
tily condemn every intraction of the right
of free speech during the Presidential
campaign. Such outrages must be pre-
vented at every hazard, or we shall find
ourselves in the mids of anarchy and blood
shed long before the election. We are
glad to note the following emphatic con-

Of 'copperheads by the soldiers:
This will never DO. The proper time and
place for combating the errors of the Demo
cratic party are at the ballot box on the day of
election, when the only weapons will be print
ed tickets. The proceedings of the soldiers
who broke up the Linden House meeting are
wholly uDjustifable. There is virtue enough
in the country to vote down the Copperhead
ticket, and we trust there is enough in Saint
Louis and elsewhere to put down, with an iron
hand, all lawless and riotous attempts to dis
turb any peaceable meeting of American citi-
Zens.
