Gettysburg VioksburE, Port Hudson,
Knoxville, Mission Ridge, and sores of
others. Tie Union armies have been sue
.eassful in Western Yirgiuia, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Alabama.
Aud besides all this, the soldiers Of the
South, if We are to judge from the iufor-
nation which we receive from them, are
fearfully divided in sentiment. Many Of
tbem-tbe intelligent ones-see the utter
hoPelessness Of the rebel cause, and are
anxious to accept the terms Of the Presi-
dents amnesty proclamation, and return
to allegiance. Thousands have already
left the rebel army, and thousands upon
thousands more are undoubtedly ready to
do so upon a favorable opportunity.
In the face Of rebel defeats in the field
there comes across the water news of a
change in the public sentiment of France
and England. The last hopes Of fOpign
intervention in favor Of the bogus COnfcd-
eracy have vanished, and the rebels see
their impendiugdOOm. The Union armies,
filed up and in good fighting condition,
with the first breaking of winter, will
sweep down Oh what remains of the Con-
federacy and remove it freYer from ex-
istcuce.

General Gantt's Advice to Copper
heads.

General CAN'T, of Arkansas, addressed
large Union meeting at Harrisburg,
Penn, last Thursday. In the course of
his speech he gave the following good
counsel to grumbIers and COpperheads:
I hear men in the North denouncing
the secessionists with apparent bitt rness,
and they say, exterminate them, but save
the negro. They might as well say of a
man bitten by mad dog, kill the man,
but for Gods sake, spare the dog
Laughter. We in Arkansas are going
to kill the dog and try to save the man.
Kentuckians say there are two parties,
destructives aid conservatives. He be-
lieved the destructives were the secession
lists and their unwilling aiders; but these
latter called themselves conservatives,
forsOoth We in Arkansas are going to
vote for whoever you nominate as an un-
conditional Union candidate for President
TUheers. -41
/ say to those conservatives that the
only way you can stay this desolation and
bloodshed is to say to the South, yield to
the Government, then we will withdraw
our armies.
But, pol the conservatives have not
the time nor the men, they say. They
see their true and gallant neighbors shed
ding their blood in defense of our rights,
whiIe-you stay at home TO watch the Con-
stitution. If you cah'tfghr, if you can't
Join either side, for Heavens sake, keep
quiet and say nothing; for when the re,
bcllion is conquered and the soldiers come
home, they can say for themselves whether
the Constitution is desocrated or not, and
punish the desecrators. [Checrs.l

operations Of the last draft show that large
Numbers of substitutes went for the money,
and not to save the country. Volunteers
are faithful I have heretofore favored
drafting, but if I could give any advice
now, I would say raise liberal bounties,
and every hand to work. In some parts
of New Jersey and New York, $500
bounty are being paid, making an aggre-
gate of 5000 bounty, and it is successful.

If you have taste for geology, here is
most desirable place for observation.
These enormous rocks, from fifty to one
hundred feet high. are new silurian, or
cliff limestone. Just at the base, you see
an outcrop Of old silurian, or blue lime
stone. The latter abounds in fossils to a
much greater extent than the former.

ye think not, the Son of Man cometh."
Well, you agree that the scenery is both
wild and beautiful. You admire Massie's
creek. And if you like it on single
visit, what do you suppose are my feel
ings? Something associated with it is
deeply engraved on every page of my mem
ory. I listened to the preaching of the
g spell in Massie's creek Westinghouse, saw
my friends buried in Massie's creek grave
yard, heard sad tales of their being drowned
at the falls of Massie's creek, rambled
along the banksof Massie's creek, with my
boy-love's idol; and when time wore on,
and cloves young dream" was realized,
the early joys of welded life we're made
still more joyful by sojourn, with the
bridal party, around this beautiful scenery,
while on the way to obtain a mothers
blessing on her new-made daughter.
You would like to learn more of Mas
sie's creek? Better explore it for your
self. But you may as we'll know that the
stream here is formed by the union of the
north and south branches of Massie creek,
which flow together just east of Cedarville.
The north branch rises in the southeastern
corner of Clarke county, while the south
branch rises about county line between
Greene and Madison. The stream empties /
into the Little Miami short distance be-
ow Oldtown, On its way thither, it re-
,eives, on its north side, romantic little
stream, called Clark run; but who Clark
was, and why he claimed the whole run,
am not able to say.
