NO. 9i;

A copperhead division at Chicago, or at
tempt at insurrection and revolution at
the North, instead of helping the cause
of the rebels, will strengthen and inten-
sify the Union feeling here, and make
President Lincoln's reelection as certain
as the sun rises and sets on election day.
1t is true that, through the Regency and
other unscrupulous politicians of the North
the rebels were enabled to bring about a
division at Charleston which led to re-
bellion in the South But the stirring E.
vents Of this war have so educated the
people at the North that, with all the as
sistance of the Regency. the peace faction,
the Ne,0s, and other organs can give, they
cannot repeat this result. The only eff
feet of these schemes, if they continue, is
to bring about the reelection of Abraham
Lincoln. This is the natural result and
logical conclusion of their course

Fight between a Bull and an Elephant

The Correspondencia, of Madrid, fur
nishes the particulars of fight between
bull and an elephant The elephant is
the largest and the oldest that has ever
been seen in Europe, as his enormous
tusks indicate. He travelled long time
with the female, who died recently. Since
then the surviving elephant has been sub
ject to paroxysms of fury, which his keep
er has appeased with great difficulty
When the elephant was brought to the
Place des TdveauT fiery young bull
was turned out The bull advanced a.
gainst his terrible adversary without evin-
cling the slightest fear. He attempted to
flank him in order to wound him but the
elephant, exhibiting an equal agility in
his motion, did not suffer him to approach
Finally the bull attacked him in front;
but, everywhere confronted by the formi-
dable tasks which interposed an impreg-
nable barrier, he did not succeed in woun-
ding him. At last, in one of the assaults
the bull succeeded in thrusting his head
beneath the tusks; but before he could
penetrate the tough hide of the elephant
he fell to the earth The spectators only
saw the elephant bend his head slightly,
and rest the extremeties of his tusks.
which had been plugged, upon the back
of the bull. From that moment the bull
was hOrs du combat, and when they after
wards killed him it was found that three
ribs were completely crushed by the al
most imperceptible movement the ele-
phant had made in holding him with his
tusks.

A Remarkable Lady.

There is widow lady living in Doug

and split five cords of seasoned wood in
the. course of last winter and spring
This old lady is in good circumstances,
not compelled to labor, but cut said wood
to benefit her health. When she first
commenced her limbs were so stiff that
she could not lift her feet without assist
ance from her hands, but by degrees, in
saving and splitting the wood, she entirely
the use of her limbs, and ma
tsrially improved her health. The ex-
ample of this lady is an evidence of what
can be done by persistent efforts Wood-

Don't Let Him Drop.

The freedmen of Vicksburg went out
to the jeff. Davis plantation on the Fourth
of July, and had picnic jubilee. An
aged and reverend darkey was called on
to offer prayer, and, standing on the
porch of JEFF. Davis's mansion, he prayed
thus:
"Oh! Massa Jesus, mighty God, save
Massa jeff. fore it am everlastingly too
late. Oh! Lord, take him by dc neck,
and shake him over the fiery furnace un-
til he squeal like pig in de bars. But
dot't let him drop; oh! ,Massa Jesus,
don't let him drop, but fetch him to re-
pentance, and save him soul in de ebes-
lasting Kingdom, fore dem Yankees make
him dry bones in q box"

a New Idea.

OF all the ingenious ways of raising
money for the Sanitary Commission, that
devised by the people of the town of
Catawissa, Pennsylvania, is probably the
oldest. The mail citizens agreed to decide
by vote who was the prettiest girl in town,
and it was declared in favor of Miss Hattie
S. Rcifsnyder, by majority of 2S0 votes.
Each vote was accompanied by the sum
of seventy-fve cents, and the proceeds
were given to the Sanitary Fair as the
contribution ofthe favorite beauty What
makes the matter more interesting is the
fact that Miss Reifsnyder is nursing
wouned soldiers in the Army of the Po-;
tomac.

To Soldiers and Postm asters.

Editors of newspapers throughout the
United States will doubtless confer favor
on the soldiers in the field, as well as their
friends at home, by giving publicity to the
following:
An act to amend the law prescribing the arti-
efes to be admitted into the mails of the
United States.
Be 1t enacted, By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the Uni. ed States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled, That articles of
clothing, being manufactured of wool cotton,
or linen, and comprised in a package not ex-
ceeding two pounds in weight, addressed to
any nOn-commissioned officer or private serv.
ing in the armies of the United States may be
transmitted in the mails Of the United States
at the rate of eight cents, to be in all cases
prepaid, tor every four ounces or any fraction
thereof subject to such regulations as the Post
master General may prescribe.
Approved, January %, 1864.
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT, Jan. %, 1864.
The foregoing law is published for the infor-
nation of the public, and especially for the
guidance OF POstmasters, and is thought to be
so full and plain that no one can mistake its
meaning Postmasters will, however, bear in
mind that packages of clothing entitled to pass
in the mails-eight ounces for four cents
must be manufactured from WOOL cotton or
linen, and not exceeding two pounds in weight
and must be addressed to non-commissiOn-
ed officer or private serving in the armies of
the United States. Consequently a package
addressed to a commissioned officer, or COM
posed Of other materials than as above speci-
fled, such as boots. shoes, &c, if sent by mail,
must be prepaid by stamps at letter rates, viz !:
three cents for every half ounce or fraction
thereof. a3ell9 ii.ai Z Cd Ill., ssa Hs44.ad
