IL From au able article in the
Springfield Republican, entitled coop,
pcrhead Tactics" we give the following
extract:
ave have before MS copy Of The
Philadelphia Age, copperhcad journal
OF the most virulent type; and Its lead
Ing artielc-a long oue-Is devoted to
on exposition Of the effects OF this "abo.
lition war" upon the fortunes oftbe poor.
or course 1t is an appeal to the unreason-
Ing and tie ignorant poor against the
policy of the war, and an attempt to
make them believe that New England IL
growing rich out Of the war, at their OK
pense. New England contractors and
manufacturers, 1t says, daily grow in
ordinately rich on the price of blood,
and the mass of the people who work
for their bread, hour by hour grow roor-
or and still more poor, marching steadi-
ly downward from common poverty to
downright beggary, and from bcggary
strslghtwsy 70 starvation" This cx-
tract gives the glst OF the whole article.
The statement is boldly made that "Of
the thousands of millions which the war
has cost, aud for which the Iaborer Ia
taxed, not penny finds It's way into his
pocket" This statement il made In the
flee of The patent fact that the New
England manufacturers are nayine the
heaviest taxes that are paid In the coun-
try, and the laborers are thriving on nm
precedented wages and have nosaxation
at OIL, or none that Is worth mentioning.
The lahoiing population of the country
were never earning so good wages as
they are earning 10 day, even when we
take into account the relation OF wages
TO the cost Of living, and never lived
when therc was such demand for labor
at the highest prices az now. There IL

THURSDAY. AUGUST 4, 1864.


gOne thought Il that we are not
yet quite through with the work
q crushing the rebellion, and that In
order to finish tive may still have to
sacrifice hecatombs of valuable lives,
and millions OF treasure. In olering
bounties to volunteers we are free to
say, we are for discriminating in favor
OF veterans, OF our own citizens, and
those OF known patriotism, A brave
soldier who ardcntly loves his country
and scorns to dsfraud or desert her is
cheap at any price while dishonest,
slippery hireling is dear at any price--in
fact worse than nothing. 1t is to be
presumed that patriotic board of Sc
iectmen will not be satisfied with filling
their quota on paper only, or with
worthless characters.
1t is no new thing for high prices to
be paid to those who incur great risk OF
life, or who possess the requisite quail
flcations fornlce and difficult work.
How are men obtained to work In pow
der mills, on mill dams or on railroads !
Simply by holding out such pecuniary
Inducements az will be almost irresisti-
BILE. Is there anything sordid about
this Z Do we hear anybody talk sheer
ingly about "paid" labor paid" skill,
or paid" courage in such cases? Now
we want to induce the very best men
and the most patriotic in the land to go
to war Some pains ought to be taken
to flud such, and to ply them with
money till their reluctance is entirely
overcome. We care not. whether they
are black or white, foreign born or ma
tive--so they have been known for years
as men of virtue, courage and ability
Any eum not exceeding $4,000 is not too
large, If men of the right stamp require
% much.
We are confidently expecting to hear
that men OF means, who are exempt
from draft, are sending worthy repre-
sentatiyes at a salary of $1,000 or $4,000
apiece. .....
Thoughtful men, who have made this
war o subject OF profound study, predict
ed, two years age, that 1t would last till
after the next presidential election
There are so many that regard 1t as a
mere partisan affair, and who persist in
shutting their eyes to the great principles
OF religion and morals involved, thai
the rebels have confidently hoped at last
to gsin their point by the overthrow o!
the administration. Any change, say
they, will be ben fcial to us. In the
eyes of all true Union men, we believe 0
president, in itself considered, is small
object; but considered as the instru-
mentality for carrying out their pur-
poses of free government and Union In
scparable, the president becomes an OBJ
ject OF Importance. Their. energies ara
bent upon crushing the rebellion, and
when in the course Of events IL becomes
necessary to choose president, they
will fast attend to that matter ut the
right time, in thu right way, and with
nodonbtful result.

THE FOURTH REGULARs.-AbOutt wCn-

Tough of three months. The valiant

hardships and dangers 1T has passed
