Murder of a Soldier by a Comrade.

The Chattanooga Gazette OF the 10Th
ult.. says:
The statement published the other
morning. in reference TO the death of an
unknown Sergeant, found insensible and
brutality butcberel. was erroneous in regard
to his death. He died last night at I
o'clock. We have learned some additional
particulars connected with the matter
The name of the Murdered man is
John Hall, a Sergeant in Co. !. Goth Ind
His supposed murderer is Joseph Glib
bons private in the same company and
regiment. Gibbons was seen to take a
Ratchet from his tent on the evening Of
the brutal occurrence, and as he has not
been since heard from. the probabilities
are very strong that he is the murderer
Hal. had about S240 on his perron that
day, and its absence after the deed was
committed, would at once suggest the
motives actuating the murderer. 1t is
to be hoped the guilty man will be brought
to Justice.

On the STAFFORD of the feet was the
proper position Of the monitors or iron
clads. Fort Morgan opened upon us at ten
minutes past seven o'clock. and soon after

thy one OF these stricken. mourning wo.

bic County MISUNDERSTANDING her as
"War Pauper." / AN also informed by
creditable persons that prominent Demo
Gratis or Copperheads of Marshall have
been heard TO remark upon being told that
certain soldiers had been severely wounded
in the hands, arms or legs. that it was a
pity they hadn't lost their damned heads
This is the kind of sympathy that every
Copperhead Democrat really feels for Uni
on soldiers and their families. They would
much rather see every Union soldier in the
field murdered than see one slave liberated
or one lordly rebel brought to grief for his
crimes. The rebel leaders of the South are
fully aware of their devoted friendship.
The Atlanta Appeal Of July Goth. speak
ing hopefully of the destruction of Sher-
mans army. says:
Gin such an event, Grant would neces
sorily be compelled to raise the seige of
the two latter cities Richmond and Pc
tersburg) and march to the defence OF
Tennessee and Kentucky. both of which
States would be pnt in hazard of reoccu
pancy by orr armies. Such a stroke wo'd
strike the war party Of the north with
gloom and dependency. while the hands
Of the peace men woull be corresponding
ly strengthened. and would go far to has
ten the termination Of hostillties. We do
not believe it would be in the power OF
Lincoln to raise another army for the sub
jngation at the sonth. and he would ne
cessarily he compelled to treat for peace
on the basis Of separation and our indie
pendence.
Now. Mr.. Democrat. here are the terms
upon which you can have peace. through
the destru Hirn of Grants and Sherman
armies. and an acknowledgment of the in
dependence OF the Confederate States
Your erring southern brethren have never
proposed to make peace on any other
terms, and why don't you come square at
the truth and say you are willing to ac-
cept the terms they offer you? We would
think something more of you. and you
would at least prove TO the world that you
possessed the manliness aud courage to adj
vocate your real sentiments. II you will
still con,inne to whine about negotiation
and peace let us know upon what term,

Copperheads and the Draft.

The Copperhca'ls in Indiana seem deter
'niaed, II they can, 70 inaugurate an insur.
rectiOn ia this State. At TT. Wayne last
Saturday there was mass meeting of the
faithful which was engineered of course by
members OF the y. :. l.. The following
resolution was adopted by the meeting
with grea, enthusiasm:
"Kesolve,l. That we are opposed to the
draft. and call upon the democracy of all
Tho States to sustain us in our declaration:
that. If fight we must we will fight for the
constitution anil the Union; and we will
never give any aid or assistance to the con-
tinuance Of this unholy and unnatural war;
tia, we are for peace and determined to
have peace; and we earnestly pray that
tne President shall rerOke his proclama-
ton for the draft. and treat with the con-
Tolerate government upoA peace and res
tora,ion of the Union"
OF course il these peace fanatics attempt
"a carry out their programme it will bring
them into collision with the authorities,
ami we shall have conllagrations and blood
SHED in our miist. They may be able to
iniiict some damage upon Union men and
their property. in the outset. but it will end
rs all such Attempts have heretofore end
ell by bringing all engaged in the lawless
proceedings to grief The Union men are
just. as determined that the draft shall be
enforced as the peace fanatics seem to be
hat it shall not. 1t remains to be seen
which party shall yield. If laws enacted
for the preservation OF the Union can be
successfully resisted by despicable fac.
ton the re?ublic must be in a tottering
condition. II the pTerheads were as de-
sirous OF peace as they seem TO be they
"onld rush to the help of the Government
and assist in crushing the rebellion, as ev-
ery sensible man must see that the short
est road to an enduring peace is to conquer
il by capturing the rebel armies. but in
stead Of this this they propose to pursue a
course the only effect Of which will be to
prolong the strife indefinitely.
