ent of the goth says very heavy and rapid
artillery firing has been going on in the
direction of Gen. Fosters front on the
north bank OF the James River since day.

Of muskeiry can be DISTINCTLY heard. For
several days past the rebels hare been re-
insorciug heavily at that point AZ If they
supposed We were intending to mass a
force there and advance suddenly on
Richm.nd from that quarter.
The heavy firing Of this morning is
probably 80 sttack on Fosters position to
anticipate the expected movement.
No dispatches have arrived from there

ssy The Copperheads profess to think

tWThe Copperbeads profess to thinl
that their Southern brethren are fighting
only for Slavery, and they are willing
themselves to do everything but fight for
the institution. Hence, as the Northern
and Southern wings are SO nearly agreed
upon that point, the Copperheads want
an armistice with the traitors.
But JEFF. Davis and his myrmidons
said before the war broke out that they
would not remain any longer in the
Union even if they were given a blank
sheet OF paper on which to write out
their own terms And JEFF Davis said
in recent interview with Gilmore and
Col. Jaquess at Richmond, according to
published statements of the former:
"Tnis war must 60 on till the last of
this generation falls in his tracks and his
children seize his musket and fight our
battle. until you acknowledge our right
of self government. We are not fighting
for slavery. We are fighting for iudepen
dence, and that, or determination, we will
have"
1t is plain, then, that an armistice is
but the plot of Northern aiders aud abet-
tors OF treason TO arrange the terms of
dissolution of the Union aud acknowl-
edgment of the independence of the
Southern Confederacy.
EB-The following is the atrocious par
agraph for which the editor of the New
ark N. j. journal was arrested By Gen. |
Dix:
1t will be seen that Mr.. Lincoln has
called for another half million of men. |
Those who wish to be butcbered will |
please step forward at once. All others
will stay at home and defy Old Abe and !
his minions to drag them from their fami.
lies. We hope that the people of New |
Jersey will at once put their feet down
and insist that not man shall be forced |
out of the State to engage in the Aboli-
ton butchery. and swear to die at their
own doors rather than to march one stem
to fulfill the dictates of that mad, revo-
iutionsry fanaticism which has DESTROYED |
the best Government the world ever saw,
and would now butcher It's remaining in
haoltants 10 carry out mere fanatical
sentiment. This has gone far enough and
must be stopped. Let the people rise as
one man and demand that this wholesale
murder shall cease.
The article which We called attention
to the other day from the Mascatine Cour-
ier was not less atrocious than the above.
and It's perpetrator is clearly liable to the
penalties imposed by the law of the land
for discouraging enlistments in the army
of the Union.
