found Its tongue, and breaks Its silence on

1nIl4ncr thai was TO be anticipated Its ma
Lightly at home is well served by lying report

Case against q aboH Htionism" and the soldiers.
II: speaking Of whom the word "mlscreant''
Il used more than few times The organ
fairly chatters with mingled rasc and
trcmor, laboring most industriously to make
out case against the soldiers at Charleston
for brutal and drunken violence, as the foun.
<iatiou and Justification Of events that follow
cd. We do not care to- discuss the point
We leave the careful hearing that is to be
1eld In the casc to settle the whole matter,
meanwhile relying upon our own sources Of
information that the opposite state Of facts
prevailed, that the soldiers were not the
agrcssors.
But let us allow they were. Let us even
go beyond the jeff. Davis sheet, and assume
for the sake Of the argument, that five times
the number Of soldiers On whom they charge
responsibility, did i've times theAmount Of
violence alleged. That the copperhead
editor in place Of eating humble pic, stood
out boldly, mud was terribly 1naltreated, that
Lis press Was destroyed, that Judge Consta-
bic aud John E, Eden, and Orlando B. Flick
lin, were set upon and beaten for their utter
s4nce OF the most infamous coppeEheAd doc
1rtnes. Suppose all this to have been true,
and that whisky and patriotism inordinatcly
compounded, lad given just these results.
WEat tlcn!
Would ill this be justification for what has
Lken place at Charleston: Docs It explain
Tic sudden rush to arms; the deadly work of
1ndiscrlminatc massacre commenced npon all
who wore United Statcs uniforms; the COW
ardly murder Of Dr.. York, an unarmcd non
combatant; the mastering OF armed dcspe~
1:does, their cullen retreat before superior
force, their threats to return to fresh deeds
OF slaughter and plllage, the certainty that
1ley would have returned but that they were
orerawed ty superior numbers.
This is surely inordlnate result to follow
from snch cause, and argues deeper source
of hatred against the soldiers of the arm{es
of the Union. The isolated cases where
soldier, released from camp discipline, has
gone to excess Of liberty and dcb2uchment
furnish no clue to the malignant hatred with
winch they arc followed BY Copperheals. It
is not the soldier, hut the cause he strives
7hc uniform lie wears-that has provoked
this fire in the rear The infamous Edeus
and Ffcl1ins, and Constahles, and O,Haire
Of the disturbed section have found far less
cause for their evil excitement in the deeds
of drunken soldiers, than of soldiers in the

enable sympsthies by assailing, in the
most vituperstive terms, the various
charitable enterprise which have been set
on foot, especially By ladies, for the bene-
ct of soldiers and their families. Dan.
forth, it is charged, had written high
ly insulting letter to the officers of the
Ladies Soldiers Aid Society making
certain demands with which they refuse
to comply. Msj James NJ. Bsardsley Of
the veteran 18th Illinois Infantry under
took to reply for them, and appears to
have done so very effectuallY in a man.

The Union says thSt MSi Bsardsly was
without weapons, aud had the use Of only
one arm (the other having been wounded
at Ringgold, Ga, while his antagonist
was armed With 8 pistol and sword
cane. The citizens of Rock Island
evinced their appreciation of the act by
presenting Maj. Bsardsley with horse
costing $3.50 the evening after the oe-
currence.

The New York herald, after fighting
emancipation sincs it first had an exis-
tence, came out = few days since, in
favor of the abolition Of slavery by 9
constitutional amendment, and with its
.wonted assurance, it now claims to be
the great leader and champion of aboli-
tionism. Ia lats number, il says that
"Senators Sumner and RsveFdy John
son-representing the two extremes
together with the conservative democrats
and all The radicals and General Free
mont, now stand upon the Herald's plat
form in regard to the abolition of sls-
very. This is one of the greatest vic
tories we have ever achieved"
The assurance exhibited in The above
is truly sublime. Every man named fs
vored the measure before the Herald
did; indeed, they advocated it while
the Herald was ridiculing the idea 81
absurd.

Ne. ePENOE On sLAYERY

"OoNTRoL THE ELECTIONS. We have
reliable information that the rebel Gen
Richardson, while he was conscripting
and depredsting on the people of West
Tennessee, advised his secession friends
"to take any oath the Federal au:hori-
ties might concoct; that such oaths were
not binding on their consciences, but at
all hazards to control the elections" This
willy rebel leader had 3 special object
in view. in giving these instructions
That object, you may rest assured, BODIED
no good to ths Government or its sup.
Eorters.
We have reason to believe that Rich /,
ardson did not cOnfine bis instructions
TO the upper counties, bat that bis friends
here are also well advised of the pur-
pose-whatever il is--intended to be
wrought out. Hence we hear of eau
cuses of the disloyal and of candidates
they intend 10 run for particular offices.
They are very strongly impressed with
the Importance and necessity of electing
men of their owI particular persuasion
to Office, and hence to accomplish that
object, some of the most VIGOROUSLY
disloyal are making up their minds to
swallow Gov. JOhnson's oath in order to
"eOntrOl the elections" They Will be

nal service during the recent attack oi
the enemy upon that place. As the
alarm spread, squads of negroes began TO
flock in, and were at once armed and
placed in the black brigade. A CORES
pendent of the New York Tribune re-
lates an amusing incident: One of the
white officers was drilling . company OF
negroes, and ordered them to charge bay
Onet, and on they came st double quick.
He was either too slow for them, or
stumbled, or became confused, or for
some other cause failed to get out of the
way or to give the order TO halt. Not a
man fsltered, but the whole company in
great spirit charged right over him as he
scrambled IN the sand to get out of the
way. He took il all in good part, and SO
did the soldiers. As soon IS possible be
jumped up, assumed commind, and all
went on as before.
When the danger wss over the black
brigade was marched to the Ordnance
Department TO be disbanded and give up
their arms. On their way they passed
through the principal streets. When
they were formed in line before starting
and informed that they were 10 be dis
missed, they cheered most Justify. When
they started off they soon began TO sing
We're going home" and then "Glory
halIelujah," John Brown" &c.
