The COpperhead Ratification Meet

Learning, through the Copperhead organ Of
this county, that the politicians aud masses of that
ilk were to hold grand ratification meeting at
Bowling Green, on Saturday last, 18th inst, and
learning, also, from suudry hand-blls posted
throughout the county that Colonel A. V. Rice,
their candidate for Congress, would be present,
and that Hon. s. 5. Cox and other distinguished
speakers were expected, and that a Toledo brass
band had been cngaged-wc say, learning all
this, and being exceedingly anxious 10 behold
big thing in this campaign, We procured an
animal and a vehicle, and at about ~ o'clock
Saturday morning started for the scene of the
"graud ratification"
We had felt some anxiety lest the Bowling
Green road might be encumbered with the CON
veyauces Of the " faithful on their way to the
ratification" but in this we were disappointed I;
for with the exception of few wagons which we
met leac6J Bowling Green, no wheeled vehicles
were in sight. This struck US as an evil omen.
and we experienced fears lest the gathering of
the " faithful" nigh. fall far short or.our san

the street! Magee reminded him thathe
was Landlord-that he kept hotel in
this place, and that he professed to be
a gentleman. The Col. making belig-
Grant demonstration, pressed his fist
against Mr.. Magee's breast, whereupon
the latter told him to leave the room and
took up the poker to enforce his order.
The Col. at once seized the poker with
both hands; DIagee caught him with his
left hand, by the throat. After short
struggle for the poker, it fell, both let
ting it go, after which Magee followed up
his first advantage, and using his right
fist inflicted considerable punishment upon
the Col In the midst of the unfortunate
affair, Sheriff M'Candless came in and
succeeded in taking Lowry away, with
the assistance of Marshall Campbell and
others We were much shocked to see
the bad feeling manifested by some, as
they ran to the scene Of conflict, in their
picking up stones as they ran. We have
said some things which we certainly would
not have said, had it not been for
the fact that the Herald falsely stated
that Lowry was struck with apoker.
We have left unsaid many things which
might truthfully be said But as we are
informed, Sheriff Scott has made informa-
ton against him for assault and battery, as
also Mr. Magee, for assault and battery and
surety of the peace, we have no doubt
judicial investigation will give the facts to
the public If it shall result in vindicating
the law and reassuring the citizens in the
enjoyment of peace and safety, which
were likely to be taken away, it will have
accomplished a good thing.

The Election.

"The Election in the borough Of But
Ter and throughout the county, so far as
we have been able to learn, passed of
quietly on Tuesday. In the borough,
during the night, after the polls had been
closed, number of the Abolition party,
after becoming pretty well intoxicated, in
duced some of the returned soldiers to
join them, when they made some bolster
Gus demonstrations on the street, fred off
their pistols, threatened the Cooper
heads" &c. The demonstration did not
last long however, as peaeeable citizens of
all parties interlered and prevented an
outbreak.
The soldiers who participated in the
disgraceful demonstration, we believe,
are all members of the 18th regiment,
and it is said that they were encouraged
by some of the prominent members of the
Abolition party.
To-day, Wednesday, about IL o'clock
fight occurred, or rather Col Lowry,
was struck with poker, by +. S. Magee,
the landlord of the Jack Hotel, and con-
siderably injured. The fight grew out of
the demonstration of last evening.
Col. Lowry, is one of our hest citizens.

Bag" 4 Baptist Association in Georgia
has made most incendiary not to say
traitorous, attack upon the Confederate
Government. Led away by foolish no.
tjon that man should not put asunder those
who have been joined by God, these Bap-
lists have solemnly resolved that 'mar-
riage was ordained for the whole human
race, without respect to color; and that it
ought to be maintained in its purity,
among all classes of people" This is all
very amiable upon the part of the Bap-
tist Association but these fanatical re-
formers should have had the fear before
their benevolent eyes of asserting too
much If the marriage Of Slaves is to
be sacredly respected, what is to be done
with the fruit of marriage? If husband
and wife are not to be parted, why father
and son, mother and daughter? These
nice notions will never do. Should they
be reduced to practice, what will become
of the trade of men-merchants who sell
assorted lots of human goods, including
the fine, bright, healthy, warranted and
promising invoices of boys and girls p
This Slavery is most uncompromislng
master, and the logic by which it is sus-
tanned must be pitiless-must shrink from
no conclusion, must fear no frightful bar
barity, must compromise with no. domes-
tic relation; for any admission of imper-
tinent humanity into the scheme will
prove fatal to its whole consistency. If
Slavery be right, then it is right to sepa-
rate husband and wife, parent and child,
brother and sister. A STAKEHOLDER is hon
est, pious, benevolent, equitable, if you
only grant him his promises, and the op-
posite of all theseif you take away sin
gle one of them. So the Georgia Bap-
tist Association had better be careful how
it is carried away by fine sentiment. That
should be lett to the chicken hearted

The new movement OF Gen. Sherman
from Atlanta to Charleston Is reported in
a roundabout way, and as a piece OF news
is by no means authenticated, Still we
believe either this or something like it to
be true, for seyeralreasons:
That sherman had abandoned his Pur-
suit Of iiood-iu other words, that Hood
had failed to draw themain armyof Sher-
man decisiyely away from Central Geor-
gia-has been known for more than a
week. North of the Tennessee lay Gen.
Thomas with torccample to confront ten.
Hood, should that commander risk cross
ing. Unless he crossed, his long detour
to the West had been made to no pur-
pose. n he crossed he put his fortune
and that of the Conlederacy at hazard.
Why should he not be left to work his
own will
Again, 1t Is no secret that Sherman
deemed his single line Of communication
insecure. There was but one way-tho
there We're three Paths-to establish new
base that should give him communication
by water. If he has gone to Charleston,
he has taken the shortest and surest route.
From Atlanta to Charleston Is three
hundred miles and nsGe by the shortest
road Sherman can travel Augusta is
about half way. The country Is open,
fertile, hitherto unrayaged by the war
On this country, mainly, the army of
Sherman will subsist. There is no serious
obstruction to its advance. Theonly riy
ers are two branches Of the Ocmulgee
the Oconee far to the North, and the Sa-
yaunah. There can be no serious OBJ
strucJion to the passage of either, because
sherman may choose his own point of
approach. Military force in that region
of country there's none, nor is there force
which can be sent from Virginia to ar
rest Sheman's progress As Tor Hoods
pursuing, that is out of the question:
lie is in Alabama, a hundred miles from
his nearest continuous railway cannot
oyertake Sherman if he tried, and will
not try. Allowing for hindrancos, Sher-
man may reach Charleston in thirty days.
In Mississippi he marched on an eXpedi-

days, unhappily, the news of battle is IA
miliar to us, but every shock and every
charge is in application or misapplication
of the mechanical force of the sun. He
blows the trumpet, he urges the projec-
tile, he bursts the bomb. And remember
this is not poetry, but rigid mechanical
truth. lie rears, as / have said, the whole
vegetable world, and through it the ami
mails; the lilies of the field are his work
manship, the verdure of the meadows,
and the cattle upon thousand hills. He
urges the blood-he builds the brain.
His feetness is in the lions foot; he
springs in the panther; he scars in the
eagle he slides in the snake. lie builds
the forest and hews it down, the power
which raised the trees and wields the axe
being one and the same. The clover
sprouts and blossoms and the scythe Of
the mower swings by the operation of the
same force. The sun digs the ore from
our mines; he rolls the iron; he rivets
the plates; he boils the water; he draws
the train He not only grows the cotton,
but he spires the fibre and weayes the web.
There is not hammer raised, wheel
turned, shuttle thrown that is not raised
and thrown by the sun. His energy is
poured forth into space, but our world is
a halting place where his energy is con-
dtioned.-ProE Iyadek

The Result.

Our neighbor of the Heyaid announc-
ed last week, that if subsequent news
would be more favorable to them than the
first announcements, which seemed to be
against them, he would issue an extra
1t is, therefore, lucky for him Consider
ing the high price of paper,) that subse-
duent news has not been of such a char
acter as to require him to issue said extra.
The fact is, the Union ticket went thro'
Ike perfect hurricane as the incom-
pleto returns in our last paper indicated.
The only States left to Little Mac" and
his Chicago friends, were Kentucky, Del
aware and New jersey! the whole aggre-
gate of whose population is one third less
than Pennsylvania |! and being entitled to
but q votes in the Electoral College, to
Pennsylvania 26. while Lineoln's Elec-
toral vote is 210! The enormous major
ity given for Mcclellan and Seymour in
New York city (about 81 ,00G) seemed to
put the State in doubt, but the rousing
majorities polled on the right side in the
rural districts overcome it, and gives the
State to Lincoln and Fenton, Governor, }
by about 5000. In all the other Union
States, the maiorities are decided. We
will lay them before our readers as soon
as they are officially announced.

He was a messmate of three OF US that

miss him when we gather round our fru-
gal meals-theu is when his name is spo-

truly brave young hero, and we hope
that he is now receiving his reward for
his good actions and conduct We, his
comrades, when our work is done here be-
low, wish to meet him in that better
world above, where there is no sorrow
His name will long be remembered and
cherished by us all. He appeared to
have a presentiment of his coming fate,
for he told me while the battle was going
on at st. Mary's Church, but before our
line was brought into action, while stand
ing behind couple of large pines, that
he came out with the expectation of new

"'Tis education foIms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bont the trees Inclined


just as the twig Is bent tho trees inclined
You can sec the truth Of this poetry in the
struggle before you. There stands your
brother over there just the other side of
that picket line-he was born in the same
country, under the same Constitution and
acknowledges common parcntage with
yourself He IS your brother, and he
thinks with you, this is cruel war. He
wishes you well, the same as you wish
him we'll Often have taken them by
the hand, and often have charged them
They are foe worthy Of your steel, and
brother worthy of your affection. But
why is it that we are at war? Why do
we not live as brothers should live ?
Merely because we have been differently
educated. Had you been educated to a
beautiful plantation, on the banks Of the
James, with 500 slaves to do your bidding,
and while you lived in luxury and ease,
you had been taught by prostituted
press, that slavery was divine institu-
tion, and by John g. Calhoun that a
State had a light to secede from this Union
at any time, and by Buchanan, that
the United States had no right to coerce
her, thus educated, in a struggle like this
you would wear gray clothes, and have
that musket in your hand fighting to
destroy what to-day you fight to defend.
Again, had that rebel soldier been cdu-
Gated as some honest mechanics son, to
believe labor the only true nobility. Had
he been taught by Jefferson, "That all
men were born free and equal, and by
the fathers of the republic, that "the
Constitution was the supreme law of the
land, and was ordained, "to form a more
perfect Union, established justice, insure
domestic tranquility. provide for the COM
mon defence, promote the general vel
fare, and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and to our posterity" he
would to-day, be Ike yourselves, the no
BILE defender of the Union, the supreme
law of the land, and the blessings of lib
cry it was ordained to secure.
This is the cause-now for the cure.
The twig has been bent, and has been
against you, when it was young, the
weight of slavery was laid on it, and he
hand of the slave propagandist bent it
to his fancy, and now you have the bent
oak of 40 years to deal with, you are
striving to bring it back to the plumb
line of nature, which is freedom, and of
the constitution, which is Union. First
by your herculeon labors, you strove to
straighten the oak while the weight of
slavery was weighing it down, you at last
found the folly of that, and now with
slavery cut loose, you have some chance
of success. You can never give the tree
up and let it t'fall, for by 50 doing, you en-
danger your own life. Your roots have
intermingled together in the common soil
of the Constitution, and the fall would de-
stroy alike that source of our mutual ex-

WHAT THE Sun DoEs.-Leaving out
of account the eruption of volcanoes, and
the ebb and flow of the tides, every me-
chanical action on the earth's surface,
every manifestation Of power, organic or
inorganic, vital and physical, is produced
by the sun. His warmth keeps the sea
liquid, and the atmosphere a gas, and the
storms which agitate both, are blown by
the mechanical force ofthe sun. He lifts
the rivers and the glaciers up the noun
tains, and thus the cataract and the ava
lanche shoot with an energy derived i'm
mediately from him. Thunder and light
ming are also his transmitted strength.
Every fire that burns and every fame
that glows dispenses heat and light WHICH
originally belonged to the sun. In those
