The news received daily from the East Of
the glorious victories achieved by the Fede-
raj armies is full Of discouragement to the
left wing Of JEFF. Davis's army" They
hang their heads, and pretend not to believe
the lying dispatches" and call upon their
ignorant and deluded followers to turn deaf
ear to all such intelligence. Every success
Of the Federal arms causes them to weep
and mourn and gnash their teeth in the agony
and bitterness Of their despair. While the
great victories Of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
and Farragut FL the great loyal heart of the
Nation with rejoicing, they strike dismay and
confusion in the ranks ofthe Copperheads.
\ repulse Of our armies, the invasion Of Mis-
souri,, the butcheries Of Forrest, the sacking
of detenceless towns and the murder Of un-
armed citizens afford them some consolation,
and light up their countPnances with ineffable
satisfaction but victory of the Union arms
plunges them into the depths OF despair.
Why is this: Can it be because these VIC
tories are the harbingers OF peace founded
upon the basis of the restoration of the
Union in all its parts, with the prime cause
Of the rebellion eradicated: Are the Cop
uerheads afraid that the Union will be re-
stored before the Sth of November or that
Federal successes will bury the Chickahom.
my grave-digger so deep in the estimation
Of the American people that the hand of
resurrection can never reach him /: One
would suppose from the daily reading of the
Copperhead papers, that they feared this
would be the result Of continued Union VIC
tories. And in truth they have powerful
effect upon the Copperhead party and upon
the prospects of littlemac." They are ter
ribly depressing to the spirits Of the cleft
wing" and take the wind completely out Of
their sails. Belonged, surrounded by thick
mist Of doubt and uncertainty, without rud-
der, chart or compass, demorallzed BY the
prospect Of the speedy overthrow Of the re-
bellion and the complete subjugation Of their
Southern brethren" they know not which
way to steer in order to avoid the breakers
which threaten to utterly destroy the rotten
hulk Of which Mcclellan is master. 1t is an
undeniable fact that the prospects of the Cop
perhead party for success in this Presidential
campaign grow less with every Federal TIL
umph on the battlefield, and are fayorably
affected BY every repulse or check our armies
meet. What kind OF party must that be
whose only hope Of success lies in the defeat
and overthrow OF the Government, and
whose pathway TO power leads through the
ruin Of our country? By every Union man,
however, these Union victories are hailed
with Joy They bring renewed hope, and re-
uewed assurances that the Government pos
sesses the will and power to crush out trea-
SON wherever it may lift its hideous head.
They bring the assurance to all who love
their country more than party that the Gov
eminent will be sustained, rebellion over
thrown, slavery eradicated from every foot OF
American soil, that the Union will be pre-
served, and the Old Flag float from every for
tress and from every hilltop throughout all
our broad domain, even though it take the
last man and the last dollar north Of Mason
and Dixon's line to accomplish the work
