True C0pperheadism.

| The state of affairs in Coles county ex.
empli6es the aims and wishes of real cop
perheadism everywhere. 1t is true thai
all the copperheads are not anxious them,
selves to rush into active fight; because
some of them are too sluggish. some ol
them too cowardiy. and some are consti.
tutionally. or by education. reluctant to
see blood. But that. which they shrink
themselves from dol g. t'ley are ready
enough to have others 10. These active
malignants Of Coles county express their
feelings and realize the aims towards which
they push them. These fellows are so over.
flowing with the spirit of the rebellion,
that it is impossible for them longer to
keep still. and they pitch into the fgh,
upon their own sell, and on their own re.
sponsibility.
What difference then is there between 9
Southern rebel and Northern one? Not
particle. except as the Northern are too
unenterprising to go and join their allies
in the South: or that they think they can
best aid them BY remaining and lighting
here. This is no chance scrimmsge, bro;
on by accident, as the result of heated dc
bate. or from words casually suffered to
fall. 1t is calculated upon. provided for,
and eommenced. The presence of men
with blue coats is all that is wanted to in.
Saugurate it. These are the recognized ene-
mics Of the malignants wherever seen; and
they fall to shooting and killing them as
matter of course. They do precisely
what gang Of JEFF. Davis soldiers would
do were they to find the men in blue
among them. They have no such excuses
however. as the Southern men sometimes
have--that they were conscripted, forced
into the service. They do it because they
wish to. The rebellion is in their bones.
runs in their blood, animates their nerves,
and puts in operation their muscles =
They do not need any commission. They
are SO full Of it that they cannot keep
aloof.
If there are any natural born fools
among the rebels they are those who ache
to get the war to going hereto kill and
wound. to be killed and wounded to have
fire and devastation at work where there is
no need of it, and where it cannot do a
thing to forward the war. He must be on
unredeemed saphead who thinks for mo-
ment that the Northern rebels cannot be
taken care ofas easily as the Southern.
We hope these Coles county fellows will
get the full wages they have earned. They
are not the sort upon which to waste leni.
ency. Leniency to them is cruelty to 9th
ers-for every county has its copperheads
aching to dipiin. and only restrained by
salutary fear. If they see it to be safe
work. the Coles county men will have
plenty of imitators.--G Chicago Tribxns.

The Presidents Proclamation.

Wherever the Presidents Proclamation
obtains currency it wins those results for
itself which were anticipated upon its first
publication. 1t does not instantly disperse
armies. and Immediately abolish armed
opposition, but it weakens the former and
saps the strength Of the latter.
We have before noticed the resurrection
at Mobile, reported to have grown out of
this proclamation: the desertions in Vir-
ginia. and those in Tennessee. 1t is an
nounced this morning that deserters have
come in from the rebel regiments of Louis
lana. under this inducement. which came
to their knowledge throagh copies distrib-
uted during the raid Of Gen Kilpatrick.--
It is always presumable that like causes
will produce lik, results; wherefore. it is
reasouoble to believe that the forces Of the
rebels will be aditionally weakened as the
proclamation obtains additional currency.
The Wanting tales of secession, that the
proclamation was repubiished in Rich
mond, Cbarlestown and Mobile, in order
to give new fury to the southern heart,
are effectuslly contradicted by these facts.
The proclamation is quietly working for
the uuion all that it was expected to ac-
complish; and we shall yet hear moro
largely from it. as the opportunities for
its Development are increased.--PAiiadel-

The LAST PnoPHEcY.-The seer An
drew jackson Davis has the following
from the spirit world in the last sssue of
his paper. the Herald of Progress::
The most important intelligence rsceiv-
ed recently is to the effect that, after six
more battles. two of them to be hsnc.so-
hand encounters, the war will be over and
peace declared under the Stars and Stripes.
Stonewall Jackson is positive that all this
will come to pass before the harvest is
gathered to the graparies. Gold will take
the downward track in May and July
Government credit will be firm for ten
years after peace is declared, when anoth-
er war with old England is probable
France will be the first to receive punish
ment from America. A republican form
of government will soon be guaranteed to
6ve Southern States. Butler and Bomb

than Fremont and Freedom" Force

in demand. General Butler and JEFF. Da.
Wis are the best practical abolitionists.--

The Copperhead Dilemma.

The New York Times illustrating the
condition in which slavery has put the
Democracy--unable to throw.it out with
ont losing the peace men. and unable to
keep it without dying with it-telIs a cap
ital story. which we condense for our rsa-
ders. A French gentleman. by the name Of
Feuillet, while on a steamboat voyage was
blown up, and the explosion that elevated
him, at the same time drove an ir..n spit
seven feet long through his body. 1t pas
sed through him far enough to leave three
feet sticking ont in front, and three feet
behind. Monster Feuillet was conveyed
to the nearest hotel. His condition de-
mandcd all the resources Of art. A sur
geon being summoned. felt the patisnt'a
pulse, and asked him where he was suf-
fering. 'In the abdonmen." replied the
wounded man. Indeed! How did ie

detailed the sad incident The surgeon
shook his head and resumed: Are they
subject to this accident, sir. in your fami-
ly?" NO." replied the patient: mot

The Democratic party is spiked through
the vitals by slavery. 1t can't pull the
spike out without losing its pro-slavery
character. and for fifteen years that is ell
there has been of it. 1t can't let tho spike

A Shanghai paper Of the 25th OF Janu-

Japan had arrived at that por. en- route to
Europe. The object of their mission is
said to be to confer with the European
Governments on the question of abroga-

Yokohama to foreigners. the japanese
Government maintaining that such treaty
was only entered into by way of expert

The Tycoon desires that foreigners should
