TRUE HEROISlE.

Up to the commencement of our pres.
ent unhappy civil war, the courage of the
present generation had not been tested
Away from scenes of conflict, enjoying
the blessings of peace, our constitutions
rights guaranteed and respected, we were
sometimes led to believe that Scott had
drawn too largely on his imagination, when
describing the courage of the ancient Sax
on and Gaul. But since the commence
ment of our present troubles, we have seen
so many exhibitions of true courage, that
nothing seems incredible.
We have been led to these reflections
from reading an adventure of the 18th
Pennsylvania Cavalry, commanded by
Lieut.. Col. VIM Blakeley, formerly of this
place, as given by a correspondent of the
Pittaburg Gascttc.

The Draft.

We wish to call the especial attention
of all interested, to the advertisement of
Captain Pillow, T. S. Recruiting Agent,
for this county, which appears IN our pa
per to-day, as also, to a communication
from him, which will be found in another
column.
As the time for onlisting under the
large bounty regulation, is extended to
the first of March, it is not likely that the
draft will be made till then; it is also like
ly that all districts which have not then
made up their proportion of the call, will
be drafted. Itwould also seem that per-
sons volunteering, can go in for any local
district they choose. Those districts which
give large bounties are sure to get re-
cruits enough, while those that hesitate,
will run a great chance to come behind.
Is it not advisable therefore, that all should
move at once, and if possible, let each dis
trict secure recruits within its own boun-
dairy? Why not call meeting in each
township at once, and learn what the sen
timent of the people is Let all move
harmoniously at once, and let Butler
county avoid the impending draft.

G6S~ The following is a sample of the
tone of the Copperhead press at the North,
which is equally afraid with the Richmond
rebels that the Presidents proposition of
amnesty will fndaavor at the South
Gould anything be more atrocious than
the subjoined extract from the Chicago
Times:
Perhaps the South will consent to those
terms. If she does, the degradation they
offer aoW not be half as seuere as should be
Inflicted upoa a people aoho could accept
that degradation If she does she is not
fit to be IN the Union upon terms Of equal
ity aoih other States, or to exercise any
political privilege Of any name or nature
If she does, her people should be compelled
to change situations aojth their slares, and
be goUeraed only By the oyerseer'S lash.-
No true American could propose such deg
radiation to fellow citizens, and the fact
that they have been made is proof that
their author is either insane with fanati-
cism or traitor who glories in his coun-
try's shame. II the Confederates are not
dogs, they lcW fiee, arm and marshal their
SLAVES for conflict by Offering still greater
brides than are offered them by Abolition
lists before they ,oiW think Of Submission 10
the Presidents terms. They are such as
no patriot or true Unionist, or one who
respects the memories of those who found
ed the government, or the honor of the
American name or character, could wish
the South to accept

WHAT GEN GRAyT IS Do1yG-Tl

WHAT GEN. GRANT is DoING.-The
New York Times says:
Information reaches us now and then
from the Department of the Mississippi,
going to show what is being done in the
matter of opening and establishing lines
of RAILROAD and water communication.
Another line of railroad will soon be, if
it is not already, in full operation between
Nashville and Bridgeport, Tor Stevenson
Alabama This is the Tennessee and Al
ALBANIA Railroad, which interseets the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad at Hunts
vile, the latter forming junction with the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad at
Stevenson-thence over the track of the
latter, or by the river from Bridgeport to
Chattanooga. This gives General Grant
substantially two routes of rail communi-
cation with his first secondary base. BY
next month, through the means of rail
road from Nashville to the Tennessee
River, he will have two reliable railroad
lines, and one waterline available portion
of the year, (the Cumberland River, with
his primary base, the Ohio River.
The supply question with Gen. Grant
has latterly assumed still greater import
ance, in view of the fact that our forces
in East Tennessee will hereafter draw their
chief supplies over the same routes used
by the army at Chattanooga Thus it
will be seen that the task of feeding and
supplying the large forces in the Depart
ment is fully as herculean as the task of
moving them. Add to this fact, the ae-
cumulation of supplies necessary for an ad-
vance in the Spring, and the increased
army dependent on them which will be
concentrated for the movement, and the
work laid out in Gen. Grants Department
will almost besueh as to give pause to even
his great energies. But all this win be
done

pGg~ We notice in perusing the proceed

of this county, has read in place" the
following bills; an act to revise and
continue in force, an act to graduate lands
on which money is due and unpaid to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania -
Also, an act relative to tax Collectors
in the county of Butler.
Also, an act relative to post noortem ex-
aminations in the county of Butler.
We have no doubt these bills are all
proper As to the first, without it, OIL
something in its place, great injustice
would be done; and it is to be hoped
should it become a law, of which we en-.
tertain little doubt, as it is but just that

ceived a letter at Davenport purporting
to come from one Of his friends in this
city, stating that his wife was lying at the
point of death, and telling him to hasten
home if he wished to see her again. OF

ed, and tortured with anxiety and fear.
AS soon as possible he procured leave
of absence and FASTENED home, arriving
here yesterday morning, and finding Mrs.
Howard perfectly well, she not having
been the least i'll.
A similar letter was sent to postmaster
David when he was in Davenport last

The editor of the Union claims that
General Butler has been defeated in HE
effort to destroy the railroad connection
between Petersburg and Richmond, aud
that our army is actually besieged at
Bermuda Hundreds by the rebels" Hav-
Ing established these facts to its satisfac-
ton 1t proceeds to comment upon them in
style that betrays feeling of heartfelt
reJliclng.
The energy with which General Butler
struck the rebels upon his landing on the
South side OF the James, and the vigor
with which he pushed his operations until
the railroad connection was cut, and his
army securely planted on Bermuda Hun
dreds, have given proof sufficient of the
fact that nothing would be left undone
which he had the ability to do. And il
he has failed in any particular to do all
that was expected of him, it is evident that
the failure results from Inadequate forces
rather than from want of capacity on his
part.
Ii is matter plain to the ewes and
ears # everybody in this city, that the
success of the Union army under Butler
creates sorrowful faces among rebels and
Copperheads, and any failure of the army
under that officer is sure to procure de-.
hghted eountenanees among that gentry.
And now we have the evidence that Clay
bank editors sorrow and rejoice with reb-
els aud Copperheads over the success or
failure OF cur army under Butler.
None but those who rejoice in the de-
feat OF cur army can Dissolve. anything in
the situation of Gen. Butler to call it a
defeat ST. Louis News.
