Fremont's Acceptance.

New YoRK, June 3.
A long letter from Fremont, ac-
cepting the nomination, concludes rs
follows:
If the convention at Baltimore whose
past life justifes well grounded conf
dence to our cardinal principles, there
is no reason why there should be any
division among really patriotic men OF
the country. To any such l shall be
most happy to give my cordial sup
port. My own decided preference is
to aid in this way, and not to be my
self a candidate but if Lincoln be
nominated, as l believe, it would be
fatal to the country TO endorse n poll
cy and renew a power which has cost
us the lives of thousands of men, and
needlcssly put the country on the road
to bankruptcy. There will remain nc
alternative but to organize against
him every element of conscientious
opposition with Wow to prevent the
misfortunes of his reelection.
In this contingency accept the
nomination at Cleveland, and as Q
preliminary step I have resigned my
commission in the army. This was {
sacrifice it gave me pain to take, bu'
/ had for long time fruitlessly en-
deavored to obtain service. i make
this sacrifice now only to regain liber
ty Of speech and leave nothing i'll the
way of discharging to my utmost abil
ity the task you have set before me.
With earnest aud sincere thanks
for your expressionsyof confidence and
regard, and for the many honorable
terms i'll which you acquaint ne will
the actions Of tho committee.
am gentlemen,
Very respectfully and truly yours

New York. 9th.

New York, 9th.
a correspondent with Sherman de-
tails the battle of New Hope Church,
of the 9th of May: About noon tho
enemy gave signs Of great activity
and displayed a large force before
McPherson's corps. They marched
boldly up the hill, exposed to n severe
fire. When they had reached to with
in 100 yards of our breastworks, our
infantry poured upon the thick mass
terrible volley.
The column staggered, but were raj
lied, fred and made efforts to approach.
The troops now became hotly en-
gagged, aud though the rebels greatly
outnumbered us they were held at
bay. Our artillery secured better
position, and with schrapnel and shell
soon sent the rebel mass to the protec-
ton of the ravine and woods. The at
tack on the other portion of McPher-
sons line commenced by Gen. Austen
hause, though made with evon more
impetuosity, met the same fate. The
rebels were gathered up for another
attack against Gen. Mcpherson, and
against Sweeney's division Of the
10Th corps. They at first presented
the same bold 'front.'. but did not .last
as long. as they were discouraged, and
were sent back with severe loss.---
From prisoners we learn that the reb-
el force consisted Of five divisions Of
the flower of Johnson's army, COM
manded by Cheatham, Claybourn and
Bates, 500 will cover our loss of the
day the rebels hurled FIVE divisions
against three Of ours.

SPEECH OF BRUTus j. CLAY, OF KY.
- Ills OPINION OF THE RADIcALs.-Mr.
Clay, of Kentucky, (Rep.) the Army
Appropriation Bill being under con-
sideration, thus spoke of the Federal
treatment of negroes
You (radicals) care no more for the
negroes than you do for a hog; not a
bit more you have not half the hu-
manity that shareholders have. Your
course in this matter is dictated solely
by your own interests. You are gov
erned by dollars and cents.
Sir, rs a slave holder l have been
scoffed at here and villified for tho
last four or five months. i have held
my tongue and RETAINED from answer
ing; but patience is worn out by this
ne.4.;.-..ed ahusa &c shareholders.
would rather be STAKEHOLDER than
one of you who sit here and legalize
this robbery and stealing all over the
country. That is what / think about
it. ] do not profess to belong TO the
other side of the House Republican);
but must admit that all my feelings
and inclinations disposed me to go
with them, because l supposed they
were in favor of sustaining and sup
porting this government. We have
pledged ourselves to the last man and
dollar to go with you to accomplish
that purpose. do not intend to be
driven from my purpose. / shall re-
main firm and steadfast, no matter
what you may do; but yet while /
pledge you tho last dollarif necessary,
do not mean that you shall come
and rob me of my last dollarnow, and
turn me out on the cold charities OF
the world. ] am willing to give dol
lar for dollar with you, but l am not
willing that you should come and rob
me. That is what / complain Of
Your agents cheat negroes out OF
half their earnings, and rule with al
iron rod. Thoy arc worse than any
Shareholders in the south You talk
about freedom Is there any freedom
or humanity in taking q negro from
his home. where he is we'll fed and
clothed, and well treated, and putting
him in charge of an agent whose sole
object is gain, and will cheat him OF
the fruits of his labor? Is that the
kind of slavery you wish to inaugurato
in this country
The people will never suffer that
kind Of slavery to exist in this coun-
try. DO you suppose that they will
permit the control of all this class oil
people should be in the hands of the
Secretary of War and controlled by
him, rs provided for in your bill,
which has passed the House, contrary
to the constitution and laws of the
different States. If they do, the Sec
rotary will be the great slave autocrat
Of tho country he will have more
agents and sub-agents under his con-
troll, with large salaries drawn from
the Treasury Of the United States,
thereby suck ing tho very life blood
of the nation to control and take cure
of -those-foar millions of slaves, 10
furnish them employment, clothing
and food, and provide them with
homes upon the abandoned planta-
tons Of the South, as is provided by
the gentleman's bill, than there are
now shareholders in all the Southern
States. | ask nothing for my people
but what is guaranteed to them by
the Constitution Of our country, ard
i would scorn to ask as n boon that
which they are Justly entitled to un-
der the laws Of tho land.

CoPPEpHEADIsM. - Recently there
are some strong indications of copper
beadisn in distinguished Republican
quarters. The Supreme Court of Yer
mont has declared the soldiers voting
bill Of that State unconstitutional, so
far as rola.es to the election of State
officers.
Senator Hale, Of New Hampshire,
in speaking in the Senate the other
day of the effort in Congress to ami
hilate the State banks, said the object
would be more easily understood il
the measures were put in this way;
"-ind DC 10 further enacted, That all
those instruments heretofore known
as StaTe OUusUuuuruTIs Dv, urra -tirv !,
are hereby abolished"
And Senator DoClittlo, of Wiscon-
sin, on the same occasion, said;
1 do not yield TO my honorable
friend from New Hampshire in my
sincere respect, as well as my deep
and settled conviction in the necessity
Of this government as well as tho
State governments themselves, main
tanning, preserving and defending all
tho rights of the States under the
Constitution of the United States. ]
believe in State rights, SIR, that they
are expressly mentioned, reserved,
protected and defcnded in the Consti-
tuition itself, ard as they are reserved
10y our Constitution, protected and do.
icndol, believe in those rights, and
rs citizen of n State, feel bound to
respect and defend them"
Now, all this is copperhcadism in
its most malignant form. Neither
Vallandigham nor Powell, nor Fer
nando Wood has ever brcathed worse
apprehension Can it bo possibl,
that the Supreme Court of Vermont
and Senator Hale, Of New 4amp.
shire, and Senator Doolittlc, Of Wis
consin, arc turning coprcihcads ?
