~a-We learn that the Grey beard Regi-
noent has been ordered for duty at Men,
phis, Tenn.
~ The Council Bluffs Bugle clears
that no "policy can be adopted by the
Democratic party that can save the coun-
try" Guess you are right, Babbitt.

The Matamora (Ill.) Sentisel, says that
Senator Richardson ''keeps up the reputa-
ton Of the Democracy on the floor of the
Senate" That's so! He gets drunk every
day of his life!
rIt 10 said that the law of side walks,
a. we'll a. of the road, is, upon meeting a
person, to turn to the right, except in

tire sidewalk TO the ladies, even though
he must stand in mud and water I'M to his
knees!
Each nigger that has been made what
they call ''free'' since the war commenced,
has cost at least $50 pounds of sterling sill
ver.-ExcnaMgc.
And each Copperhead, hitherto called .
Democrat, has cost this government mill

in principle as q negro. nor half as much
respected among those who love their
country and honor patriotism. Is 'free-
dom" to be compared to dollars and cents?

~-A Portsmouth paper calls upon the
Democracy to '.stick together asserting
that if they don't, 1--WE are all overheard
in bottomless sea of confusion and anar-

sea of confusion was expressly gotten up
for the rebels and the Copperhead Democ-
racy. and We are glad to know that the
design has not proved failure, but is
working admirably. The Lord be praised!
