A word Of AdvIos . Copperhsaa..


Since our veteran soldiers have begun
to return home on furlougb, we hear Of
frequent appeals to the higher CHyer,
Toni law. They all belong to the sect Of
the Hit tites and Hammer-iies, and we
would respectfully suggest that it is the
better part Of valOr to keep still when they
are about A soldier cannot stand ss much
Of the COpperhead as can civilian. They
have been fighting traitors in the field and
they can't endure anything like a traitor
at home.
They don't want to bs called 0LincOln
hirelings or damned AbOlitionists." II you
should, gentlemen COpperhesds, we would
not wish to insure either your bodies or
your lives. We suggest, therefore, if you
properly value your existence, (fOr these
soldiers are mostly armed, thst you do not
insult or in any way sggrsvste them.
They have been accustomed to violence,
and have not yet learned that violence is
not to be used at home. II you will not
hear our "AbolitiOn" suggestions, we may
be obliged to report more pummelling and
booiing than we want to.
We have heard of some instances where
soldiers have hauled COpperhads roughly
and we feel under obligation, as guardians
Of the public morals, to admonish our
brethren Of the opposition, lest they be
brought low or be blind for thres days.

Receiving information of heavy force
between them and Chueketsw, they return
ed to Smithield, and sent for the trans

The lIahoning sentinel.


Il seems half dozen soldiers have beer
using violence to show their contempt fol
sentiments uttered by the MahOning Sen.
tinel. We have nothing to say as to the
amount Of Justification involved in theil
provOcstion, but we are sure the Union
people Of MOhOning county do not sym
psthiEe with them, and we certainly depre-
cate the use Of force to compel an adver-
sary into silence. Granting that Mr.
Webb, Of the Sentinel, has published q
Copperhead paper, such retaliation, how
ever slight it may be, is unWise and
unnecessary.
We have confidence enough in the good
sense and honesty Of the people to resist
the pestiferous influence Of doctrines Ia
bsled "Democratic" without resorting to
the destruction of property. Our soldiers
should remember that the employment of
violence is better suited to the field than
to community where law and order pre-
vail.
The utteranoe of obnoxious and disloysl
sentiments is the best antidote to itself
The bold and disgusting doctrines of an ad-
verssry soon work their own cure We like
wise deprecete such an infammatory reso-
luton as the Democrats Of Canfeld have
seen fit to pass, which we quote below
ResolVsd, That we call upon the De-
meerAey and all others, favorable to law
and order to assemble in mass convention
at Youngstown, Saturday, February 9th,
to take such action as may be necessary
to secure protection to our property and
freedom to our persons, from mob vio-
lsnoe.
We do not wholly understand the signif-
canoe Of this resolution, but if it means
on appeal to violence, we counsel these
Democrats Of Mshoning county to beware.
We understand somewhat the temper of
the people Of Youngstown and we know
that just now there are large number Of
returned soldiers in shat section whom it
would not be prudent to arouse. If re-
dress is wanted for the slight losses Of the
Sentinel, seek it in q legal way
These viOlent measures only serve to gall
political feeling and embarrass the prC-
gress of correct opinions:

To MAJOR GENERAL Butler:
Early this morning our outposts, at

enemy, reported to be ], 500 strong, con-
sisting of Hikes brigade. The pickets
we're driven in. 1t being imprscticable
to make an adequate defease, our force
fell back in good order, destroying the
camps, but abandoning few stores, with q
loss Of fifty to one hundred men and q
section of light artillery. Our forces are
now so arranged that we are confident Of
a successful resistance.
Almos. simultaneously with this attack
the enemy advanced on the south side Of

to estimate, and were handsomely repulsed.
Communication still continues with
More Head City, but the enemy is near

at Beauford is aware Of the situation, and
