FThe Copperhead papers Of this
section lately published, in flaming
head lines, Infamous Abolition For
gerry of an Important Confederate
State Paper" An infamous copper
head forgery Of an important federal
state paper appears in the New York
World and Journal of Commerce, de-
signed to operate on the gold market
and to create panic in the whole
North; this, too, at the very time
when the hearts of loyal men are
aeuteiy alive. to thegrand movements
before Richmond, involving as they
do the fate of the whole country. Yet
a Confederate Copperhead, the same
who forged the stsry of President
Lincoln passing through Baltimore e
disguised, publishes a tase falsebood,
which the papers that so gladly gave
itspace. must have known to be so.
Their subsequent recantation is that
of every convicted libelier or forger,
and is entitled to almost as much res
pect. 80
Its publication had the desired ef-
feet, Let us see how many copper
head sheets, that SO loudly denounc-
ed the forgery of a worthless Confed-
crate state paper, will denounce this
outrage upon the people, In thus OPP
Grating upon their fears, to put mo-
ney in the pockets of a dishonest
gang ofthieVes who infestW all street,
and who care as much for the Union
as def. Davis or any Of his copper
head allies Of the North.

CHATTANOOGA, May "a.
General Sherman headquarters
were at Kingston last night, seventy
nine miles from Chattanooga, and
only sixty seven miles from Atlanta.
Our advance was then some ten
miles south of Kingston.
There has been no serious fighting
since the affair at Resaca, but con-
tinual and severe sIlirmishing.
Many prisoners are being taken,
and many deserters are coming
within our lines, who represent john
ston's army so far dispirited as to
render a respectable stand short of
Atlanta an impossibility.
Johnston is reported to have
from fifty to seventy thousand men,
exclusive of ten thousand Georgia
State Militia, said to be at Atlanta,
engaged upon the Notifications.
Much of the army Johnston has
with him is composed of this same
militia, and it behaves quite poorly.
General Schofield's corps has
suffered very much, and numbers
of his wounded are now in this city
Colonel Burke, of the celeb rated
Berdan's Sharpshooters, was wonnd-
ed and lost leg.
Rome is occupied by General
Sherman's right.

have just received a letter from a gen
tleman in the Bois River diggings,
which states that the largest and rich
est silver mine that has ever been dis
covered on this continent has just
been opened in the Bois Valley. The
product of this mine alone will be
sufficient to redeem Mr. Chase's green
backs; and that must have given rise
to the discovery of these mines. We
did not need their riches until now:
so you see, that the want is being sup

you plenty of provisions. as every

As you know the road by the land
route you may prefer it; if you do,
do not come by the route that We
came by last year, but by the way of
Denver City and Fort Halleck, along
the Medicine bow mountains to Green
river, and from there to Fort Bridger
and Salt Lake City. From Salt Lake
the mines are distant about 250 miles
Northeast. You need not bring with
you more -four and bacon than will
do you to Salt Lake, as you can get
those things there cheaper than in the

MIsCEGENATIoN BY JEFF.

Ben Perley Poore, in . late letter
from Washington to the Boston
Josnal gives the following interest
ing chapter in the life Of the rebel
chief:
Since the Democratic editors and
orators have so indecently and un-
truly attempted to accuse the North

ted miscegenatiop / thank thee,
Coz, for teaching me that word, q
few of the thousands OF instances in
which the Southern chivalry thus
blended the shades of human color
have found their way into print. By
way OF perfecting this record, am
permitted to publish the following
paragraphs from letter received
by a Senator from an officer of the
United States Army, for whose
character he vouches. The letter is
dated st. Louis, April s, and goes on
to say:
"WhiIe at Vicksburgh I resided
opposite to q house belonging to q
negro man, who once belonged to
Joe Davis. Learning this / hap
pened one day to think that he, per-
haps, would know something about
the truth of story told in the Lon.
don Times, that there was a son Of
JEFF Davis, the mother of whom was
8 slave woman, in our navy The
next time that met the man asked
him If he had eyer knswn Maria,
who had belonged to JEFF Davis and
was the mother of some of his chill
dren. He replied that he had not
known Maria, but that he knew
Massa Joe Dayis's Eliza, who was
the mother Of some of Massa JEFF 5
children. ] then inquired il she had
sonin the navy. He replied that
she had-he knew him--they called
him Purser Davis. He said that
Eliza was down the river some thirty
miles at work on plantation.
"The next day, as was walking
down street, i met the man who was
driving his mule team, and he stop
ped to tell me that Eliza had return
ed. A few moments afterwards he
came back, and pointing to one of
two women who came walking along,
be said that she. was one Of whom he
had been talking. When she came
up l stopped her. and inquired
whether she had a son who would
like to 90 North. She replied yes.
and she would lik, to go too. told
her that ] only wanted q lad. She
said that her son had gone up Red
River on board the gunboat Caron-
delet, but that when he returned
she would let him go, ''Well,
said l, some say that JEFF. Davis is
your sons father-do You sup
pose it's so!' "Suppose!' she ex-
claimed, with offended pride. "Ts
no right to suppose what / knows
am certain so. Massa JEFF was the
father OF five of my children, but
they're all dead but that hoy, and
then two that he wasn't the father
of. There's no suppose about it
Perhaps if the hoy gets back safe on
the Carondeletsyeu may see him in
Boston some OF these days. 80
Yet this same JEFF Davis flaunts
abroad his professions of ofChristianity,
and sneers Mt the Puritanical habits
of New England. His own life is a
fitting exemplifcation of the Bar

The rebels are in our front, and
prisoners been taken during the last
"a hours from three rebel generals
Ewell, Hill and Longstreet. Over
400 prisoners were taken from a
brigade of South Carolin;ans by the
Pennsylvania Reserves under Craw-
ford, who made a charge OH our ex-
treme right after Warren had crossed
the North Anna on the road leading
to Beaver Landing.
Our troops have torn up and COM
pletely destroyed nearly six miles

OF Saxton's Junction.
We are now but one days forced
march from Richmond, in a fine
open country. There is plenty Of
good pasture for our horses, but
nothing for the men except what has
been brought along.
The enthusiasm of our army knows
no bounds, while the morale of the
rebels, judging from their wounded
prisoners falling into our hands, is
in avery bad condition. The wealth
er is intensely hot.

The situation orPetersburg.

Carleton" the well-informed CORES
pendent of the Boston Journal, writes
from General Grants headquarters, July
18th:
1t is my firm conviction that the pros
poets of crushing the rebellion have never
been so bright as at the present time. 1t
is my calm, deliberate Judgment, based
on the following reasons:
/. Position. Grant is close to his base
of supplies. He is striking at the spinal
cord of Lees communications.
.. Present preparations. am not at
liberty to state what they are, but the
army is not idle, although lying still.
I can only say hat if big guns and
mortars and gun-powder are ofany value,
Lee will have enough to keep his lines
intact during the month of August.
8. The determination of the men. They
mean to take Petersburg. There is no
sign ofdespondency, Their elasticity Of
spirits is wonderful.
4. General Grants obstinacy and per-
sistence and expectation. He expects to
takeit. II is not expectation withou cause.
He has weighed the matter. He is laying
out his work i~ntelligently and deliberate
". Those men usually succeed in build
ing towers who count the cost. In this
connection l recall the word of Admiral
Foote, as we sat in the cabin of his gun
boat, after the taking of Fort Henry: 81
knew l should take it. l weighed every
circumstance, thought over all the pos
sibilities, told the men to keep cool, take
good aim, fire slow but to keep tring!,'

NKWToN FALLS OHIO


EDS. CHsosIcLE.-Wm you permit us
through your columns. to offer 8 few
thoughts in reference to apportionment
of quotas for the approaching drafti-
The relations of Newton Township to
this matter may serve to illustrate a point
of interest to many other Townships as
well as Counties.
Making no note of the men We furnish
ed in April, 1861, for the three months
service, this Township has since sent to
the field, n hundred and th~irty-nine
Volunteers, twenty-four of whom had re-
enlisted as three years veterans prior to
the first of last April, in all 163 men, has
SO far succeeded in keeping up to quotas
and ahead at all times. In April last q
call was made for the National Guards,
of which this Township furnished forty
four. These men being mustered into
the U. S. service have shown q patriot
ism and bravery that history will honor.
As evidence of this, we regret to say that
these a. have lost more men in killed
and wounded than the 163 in the three
years service.
Whilst these facts present the case oil
Newton, cheerfully giving the service Of
so many citizens Unexpectedly called foi
100 or probably more days, the most i'm
portant of the year, they will also pre-
sent the truth in regard to many other
Townships.
Now the question we wish to raise il
simply this; does not justice require thai
an allowance be made for the service o.
these men? Or is this to be disregsrded
and Newton and other like Townships
drafted on the same basis as the many
other Townships that failed to furnish
the first man?
