Degraded NEcassTess.

No man can obtain a correct idea OF
what constitutes meanness, low and dev-
iIist, until he is brought into contact
with q Copperhead. A Copperhead is
the very uuintessence OF meanness, and
the spot where his soul ought to be is
impervIous to good thought or gener-
Gus impulse. SO intensely do this
species hate negro who shoulders a
musket to fight for the integrity of our
Union, that their mouths arefull of lies,
and they can't speak of negro soldier
without lying. Forinstance the Corr
iey of this city in an editorial upon col
ored soldiers, on Wednesday, alleges
Ghat " Gen. Grant has requested the
President 10 order the negro regiments
10 be .t;isbanded." Now, nobody but o
Copperhead will believe sucha state
ment Grant wants every man that will
fight, and any man who says that the
negro soldiers around Petersburg will
not fight. is good deal neaner than amy
rebel ought to be, and is too white liver
I'd to handy epithets with. The Courier
concludes its article in the following
! anguage:
:. Tie Gute .fgIt IN .fronf Of Petersburg
ought to satisfy the most 0rdteat Qdeocote
OF the neyyO 0rD2inp pOLicy, MGt only
bhluIers, disasters md coioneHies .f0NoD
ia TIE ar0kc of lGg.'o troops.'
4 miserable, mean faishood. and the
Cous;sy man knew it when he penned
it,
.At the late advance upon the Peters
burg works, after the mine exploded,
two lines were formed from the 9th
corps, white troops III front and the
black troops in the rear. At theword of
command, the white troops advanced,
and after a desperate engagement were
repulsed. The negro troops were then
ordered forward, and advanced, not on
ly to the ground occupied by the first
advance, but pushed beyond, to the en-
emy's second line of works. They too
were repulsed. We do not believe the
negro soldier is superior to the white
soldier, but we do insist that history
will give them the credit for doing as
much at Petersburg, in the. recent re-
pulse, as did the whites engaged. Why
not tell YOUR readers the truth Mr.. C0ur-
ier ;?

"THE HIGHEST TYPE OF MANHOOD y
The Hon. CIV. Jones, of Dubuque,
who has two sons in the rebel army, on
behalf of the Peace sneaks of Dubuque,
invited Henry Clay Dean to attend a
mass meeting Of rebels to be held in that
city on the 25th inst. Dean accepts the
invitation and in his letter makes use of
the following language:
"We who have suffered without recrimination
show only the highest type of our being and
unanimously eschewing vengeance upon oppres-
sors."
We have nothing to say. But if Hen
ry Clay Dean is the highest type of hui
manity we are anxious to know what
those animals were that in olden times
ran into the sea at the instance of the
Devil. Dean the highest type of hu-
manity! Dirty shirts, grease, odorifer-
GUS feet, bah! 1t makes us sick to think
of such type. And yet we can't help
smiling at the fellows impudence.
nA@ The New York Tribune, referring
to the candidates before the Chicago
Convention, says that Judge Nelson ap-
pears to be the favorite of the monied
men in the city Of New York, although
in many sections Mr.. Fillmore has the
support of the wealthy class. On the
first ballot, Gov. Seymour will probably
have the vote of New York. Gen. Nc
Clellan will command plurality, and
the names of Franklin Pierce and Judge
Woodward will be withheld for favora-
BILE contingencies.

Thy fair folds the sons oc that Union did see
As proudly thou faunted Ger land and Ger water

Thou hope of the nations, thou flag of the free.
