The Beginning 81 the En0s
The elections In the great States Of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and indiana, and the glori-
ous Victories recently achieved BY our
arms, clearly foreshadow the end Of the
rebellion and the humiliation Of the Cop
psrhead party. The rebellion is tottering
70 its fall. The wicked conspirators, COW
cred with the best blood Of the nation, will
soon expiats their crimes. Their allies in
the North, who have organDzed, chosen
their leaders, and with arms secreted,
awaited an opportunity to strike for JEFF.
Davis. have seen the handwriting on the
wall. These traitors have been convicted
before the bar Of public opinion, and will
get their sentence in November. Upon
'.Grand-Compander" vAllandigham and
his fellow conspirators, upon their pretty
little puppet, Mcclellan, AID upon .heir
posterity win forever rest the guilt and in
fanny of pro,racting this war. Their skirts
are red with innocent blood, and upon them
will rest, for all time 70 come, the kind and
degree OF infamy which blasts the name OF
Benedict Arnold.
Thank God the heart of the nation il
loyal and true. Thank God the people are
too intelligent 10 be cheated by Copperhead

- AN incident worth narrating recent
~ occurred In Boone county, Kentucky.
A wealthy planter, the owner of valuable
''chattels," and well know as conserva.
tive rebel, who intends to vote for McClel-
Ian and Pendleton, had fat and muscular
negro who was conscripted. His owner
determined to provide a su bstitute for him,
mounted his horse, rode into Covington,
and for $3.50 engaged an Irishman to 60 as
a substitute, but without informing him for
whom. Taken to the Provost Marshal's
office, sworn In, provided with = uniform
and paid of, the 1rishman then, for the
first time, learned whom it was he was to
represent in the army. It is said his wrath
and profanity exceeded all bounds, but it
was too late to back out, and he was sent
to quarters. The Kentucky conservatives
who oppose the CONSUMPTION Of negroes,
who object to arming the negroes, evident
~ value negro higher than an Irishman.
Rather than see . negro free they would
drive the whole Irish population into
slaughter pens"
