Query.

Who can furnish us for publication, a
complete list of the field and line officers
of the grand Copperhead army, recently
organized for the defense of the Herald,
against the expected attack of Lincoln S
minions, as they call them ; of course
Mcclellan was commln Ter in chief, but
who were his subordinates? Think they
must have been principally composed OF
the working members of the late Demo.
cratic convention-the chairman of their
committee on resolutions for instance,
and his next friend. the tarmistic" man.

To Our Democratic Patrons.

Previous to our first issue of the .Citi-
zeu, we called on most of the business hen
OF this place, and inquired Of them whcth-
er they wished to become readers of our
paper. Most of them responded afirma-
lively. Their names were accordingly put
down in our subscription list. Two or
three Democratic readers have recently
complained of the partizan character Of
our paper. For their benefit, we just say,
that the Citizen was always intended as a
party paper. 1t is the determination of
its editors, however, to avoid all personali-
ties-that is, to avoid assailing priyate
character" In social life, as in business,
we wish to know no politics. We have
had favorable opportunities to deviate from
this rule; but we don't believe our cause
will suffer materially by avoiding them.
Should the editor of the Herald continue
his method of assailing private character,
as he seems disposed to, and should the
people manifest preference for that meth
cd of conducting paper, we may take
into consideration, at some future day, the
propriety of running small paper on that
style. We have in our office a small press
upon which the Trump, of former days,
was published, which would be very con-
venient for an enterprise of that kind
For the present, however, we will forbear
to assail private character, in the manage
ment of the political department of our
paper But we wish to have it distinctly
understood, that this is as far as we can
60 at present. We believe that the poll
cy of the Democratic party, for the last
fifteen years, has had tendency to weak
en- the bonds of union that bound us to-
gether We believe that the organiza.
tion at last became corrupt and diSioyai-
that is, its organism, as seen in its conven-
tions, its caucuses, its official acts in Con-
gress; that it is therefore wholly RESPONSE
bic for our present deplorable position !;

A Good Joker.

The man who quits the american be-
cause it is too personal, and subscribes for
the HeraH. " hat does the Citizen think
of such a "Republican?" That mans
head would glsien in the sunshine
american.
The CITIZEN thinks this Republican is
no less parsonage than the Editor Of the
Herald himself, who has taken this mode
of putting himself-at any rate, the man
who could read that paper carefully for
eighteen months and could not see any
thing in it but patriotism of the first water,
if he is not a Copperhead, ought to be
one.

and believing thus, we mean, on all fitting
occasions, to express our sentiments, and
refer to the proof of what we say. If
this course should be distasteful to any,
they will be at liberty to withdraw they
patronage from US.
We feel much obliged to any Democrat
who, from good will to us personally, or
from any other cause, has becomes reader
of our paper, but it is too much for us to
expect men who believe such men as Sey-
mour and Vallandigham to be patriots. to
have patience enough to read the Citizen.
For the benefit of all such, therefore. we
wish to say, that if they have became
readers of our paper underany misappre-
hension as to its political character. they
can call at our office and notify us of the
fact, and we will, in all good nature erase
their names from our subscription list, feel
ing as well towards them in the future as
ever. A canvass is about to open which
we believe to be the most momentous ever
entered upon in this country. One involv-
ing no less than the unity OF the Govern
ment. In this canvass we expect, in our
humble way, to take an active part, un-
trammeled by any personal influences; hay
ing only in view our duty'to our country
and to mankind; and our exertions, weak
as they may be, shall be in behalf of the
unity of the one, and the elevation of the
other

From New Orleans.

New YORK, March 13-The steamship
Morning Star, from New Orleans on the
9th instant, via Havana on the 7th, has
arrived. She brings l,200 bales Of cot
ton.
A part of Gen. Lees cavalry have left
New Orleans for the Red river.
Gen. Sherman arrived at New Orleans
on the I'd on the gunboat Diana. His late
expedition is called by himself a big raid,
in the course of which he reached a point
ten miles east of Meridian without any OPP
position worthy of the name, and returned
with ] 100 mules, 1000 contrabands, 500
prisoners and large amount Of supplies
= Transports are rapidly bringing troops
back from Texas.
Governor Michael Mahn was inaugura.
ted on the 4th with imposing ceremonies
at New Orleans. Gen. Banks delivered
an address, in which he predicted the re-
duction Of the insurrectlon to three or four
States on the Atlantic coast I,y this sea-
sons campaign. lLe said: LET us re-
member that the re-inauguration we celc-
brate has the basis Of a century, for we
have achieved deeds, of a century in the
past two years, and SO long as the people
are faithful and true to themselves, Sc
long.will stand Louisiana, the first return
ing State in which every man is a free
man."
All the PEOPLE were in the streets dur
ing the day and there was unquestionabiy y
the sinccrest feeling OF saaslac on shown
than on many of them re bo stcrous day,
of secession ma Ines in 1861.

To Hon Jas. G. Hall, Senate Chamber.

pa The Democrats are rapidly taking
a stand upon the questions of the day
! EprOfessedly in harmony with the proceed
ings Of the great Union party of the
country. The motive is obvious. The
last specimen we clip from the Worid-
SpeakingYf the special election in New
York on Tuesday to decide upon the con-
stitutional amendment allowing soldiers
to vote. the editor uses language which
reads like paragraph of the Tribune -
"OUR CoNsTITUTIoNAL ELECTION To-
DAY.-The citizens of New York who
have not gone to- the war are called upon
to vote to-day whether their fellow citi-
zens who have gone to the war shall have
sthe right to vote as New Workers while
absent in the field. The proposition COW
ers an amendment to the constitution, and
if the people say so the constitution will
be so amended. We presume that the
question upon this vote will be, as it ought
to be, nearer to unanimous vote than
that of any election in the history of the
State; but the stronger the popular en-
dorsement of our brave soldiers the bet
ter. Let them have a rousing vote"
sBy the way, the Democracy, not salts
fed with stealing our principles, have
adopted our method of fdisseminatingth them

WASHINGTON, March 5, 1864
Ny Dear ,Sir: In reply to friendly
letter from you, wrote you briefly not
long ago about the wishes expressed by
many that my name might be favorably
regarded by the people in their next
choice of a President. and closed by say
ing that should our friends in Ohio mani
fest preference for another, | should ac-
cept their decision with the ready acqui-
escence due from one who has been al
ready trusted and honored by them be-
yond merit or expectation. The recent
action of the Union members of our Leg
islature indicates such preference, and it
becomes my duty therefore, and | count
it more privilege than duty, to ask that
no further consideration be given to my
name. 1t was never more important than
now that all our efforts and all our ener-
gies should be devoted to the suppression
of the rebellion and 10 the restoration of
order and prosperity N the solid and sure
foundation of freedom and impartial jus
tice, and earnestly urge all with whom my
eounsels may have weight, to allow moth
ing to divide them while this great work,
in comparison with which persons and
even parties are nothing, remains unac-
c1mplishel.
Cordially your friend,

The number of soldiers daily pass

creasing. To day transportation or
