Still. DEFENDING ON THE COPPEKHEADS FOR
HELP.
The rebels still continue to hang their
hopes upon the expectation Of help from the
Northern Copperheads. The last Richmond
Examiner received here s'ys:
There ase signs which indicate that gradually =
disposition for peace is making itself felt through
out the great MACS OF the people of the United
Statee. A blatant CITY for war on the part Of tho
Republican papers Will not deceive; the evidence
fhrniFEe1 by Nr. Lincoln in these repeated calls
and drafts cannot be weakened Or destroyed by
the noisy clamor Of party Journals. These lndica-
tlons art un11tstak2bIe; tho people arc giving
way: the war spirit is on the wane. Force and
violence may aeize and secure men, and discipline
may hold them for while, but the mar eriTlt Is
broken, Ia gone, and Indications Of peace will soon
crop out all over the aurfacc Of Northern society
More deEenda upon the spring campaign than
ever before waited upon the connict Of arms. II
the Confederate armies are victorious Lincoln will
he defeated in the Presidential election; the draft
Nlll be nst3esa az means al recruiting his army,
and peace will follow II We defeated, Lincoln
will be reelected. the draft become powerful
means Of soeur1ng men, and the war Indefinitely
prolonged.
Every peace man at the North is thus
bound to be an ally Of the Rebels
The people should bear this constantly In
mind.

A Just Decision.

We learn from the Sandusky Register
of the 10th inst: that the Supreme Court
OF Ohio has ut last decided tho constilu.
tionaliiy ofthe soldiers voting law and
blasted the hopes of Hon. y. q. BARLEY,
who has bccn u sort otyou or counsel
in general to all who sought TO rob the
soldiers Of their votes, aud his copper
head conlcderOtcs. We rejoice at the de-.
cision, while we regret that in few
counties, officers elected by the soldiers
votes, have been kept out of their places .
or oustcd from them, by mistakes of the
fticnds OF the soldiers votes, or by the
tricks of those opposed to them. The
ri ght Of the Ohio soldiers To vote is now
settled by the highest judicial tribunal
in the State. Though soldicrs-- brave
aud truc--thcy have not thorcby us cop
pcrhcads have soght to establish, ceased
TO be citizens MS well OF course the
Crisis, Enquirer and other Democratic
sheets will now show their devotion to
the "Ccns,itution and laws" by dcnoun.
cling the Supreme Court-bul that will on.
ly show their real spirit. When election
comes again, the Ohio soldiers will re-.
turn the compliment by solid vote
against the allies of tho rebels ip the
North.

The Capture of Fort Pillow and
Massacre of the Garrison.

CAIRO, April IA.
On Tuesday morning, Forrest, with
some 6,000 men attacked Fort Pillow
Soon after the attack Forrest sent flag
of truce demanding the surrender of the
Fort aud garrison, meanwhile disposing
his forces so us 10 gain decided advan.
iagc. Major Booth, of the 18th Ten
nt ssee Cavalry, was in command Of the
Fort, with 400 of that regiment and 200
OF the first battalion 9th U. S. heavy ar
tillery, formerly the lst Alabama cuva.-
ry, colorcd.
The flag Of truce was refused, aud
lighting resumed. A(tcrward a second
flag came in, which was also relused.-
Both flags gave the rebels the advantage
Of gaining new positions. The battle
was kept up ill 3 p. NJ, when Major
Booth was killed, and Major Bradford
took command. The rebels now came
in swarms, overpowering our troops aud
compelling their surrender.
Immediately upon the surrender en-
sued scene which utterly battles de-

ly few of our men were killed, but insa-
tlate as ficnds, blood-thirsty us DEVILS in
carnatc, the Confcdcrutes commcncnd
an indiscrimnate butchery of whites
and blacks, including those OF both col
ors previously wounded.
The black soldiers becoming demoral-
lied |, rushed to the rear, and the white
officers having thrown down their arms,
both whites and blacks were bOyonetcd,
shot or sabred. Even dead bodies were
horribly mutiluted. Children seven. OF
eight years old, and several negro wo-
men were killed in cold blood,
Soldiers unable to speak from wounds
were shot dead and their bodies rolled
down the banks into the river. Dead
and wounded negroes were piled in hu;s
aud burned, and several citizens who
joined our forces for protection were
killed or wounded. Out ofa garrison of
600 only 200 remained alive.
