extracts OF rebel speeches and reocl manifes-
toes as come TO US through the columns Of
the rebel press, and satisfy himself what is
the real reliance and maiRStay OF the rebel

As further evidence that the rebels Eely up
on the aid OF the Northern Copperheads, take
the following, from the late address issued by
",he Legislature OF Virginia to :he Army OF
the Confederate States" In speaking Of the
situation Of affairs AZ the North, the address
saws:

Does this NOT show tia; they are looking
to the growing opposition to the war at the
