The Copperheads Threatening.

The Copperheads are not only anxious
to show tho white feather to the rebels.
but they are endeatoring 20 create the feel
ing that the Presidential election next Fall;
if it go against them, will be in consequence
of fraud. This they say Knowing that
fair. honest expression of the people will
overwhelm them; but nevertheless thev
hope to excite revolution In the North af-
ter they are defeated. If it goes against
them, of course in their estimation, it will
not be fairly done. The leading Copper
head of the Northwest says: "If it be
not fairly conducted, those who may at
tempt to govern the Northern States by
virtue of fraudulent election will find
that the attempt will leave them no sur
plus men or means. to be employed South
of the Ohio river" This means that the
Copperheads must get the power. or they
are prepared to excite rebel lion in the
North. Let them dare attempt such an
outrage! s

Upto2I O'Clock. A. M.
Brutality at Fort Pillow Con-

WAsnIkGros, April ICY sterday P NJ
about s O'Clock dispatches were received
here, from Gen Sherman, confirming the
surrender of Fort Pillow, and the british
conduct of the rebels Immediately after
wards, which bids fair to be retaliated in
that quarter in due time.
The Star says according to Gen Sherman
our loss was So white troops killed and 100
wounded, and 300 negro troops murdered
in cold blood, after the surrender.
Fort Pillow is an Isolated post Of no value
whatever to the defence of Columbus and
utterly untenable BY the rebels who have
no doubt left that vicinity ere this, having
been disappointed with considerable loss in
the object of their raid, which was the cap
ture O; Columbus whence they were hast
ening, but were severely repulsed with no
loss to us. = "a El1JT -EJEfE
We are satisfied that due Investigation
will. show that the loss Of fort Pillow was
simply the result Of mistake of the local
commander, who occupied against direct or
ders, contingency incident to all wars.
The rebels according to their official dis
patches, effected nothing at Paducah but
losing soldier killed or wounded, for every
horse they successfully stole, and dong US
no other damage than by few theits.
1t is believed that the Forests raiders
will next appear in the viciniay OF Memphis
where they can effect no more than at 20
lumbus and Paducah, and stand very fair
chance indeed of finding themselves sur
rounded by overwhelming forces.

Kitcbeu not entitled to seat as repre-
sentative of the 18th district of Va. The

ers of the district A greater portion fail
ed to participate in it,
Mr. Smith of KY, of Military commit

BUTTER CERTIFICATEs.-Ac correspondent
OF one of the morning journals proposes
that the community in general should alb.
stain from buying batter at more than thir-
ty cents per pound, as means Of bringing
spectators to reason. The proposition is
more passionate than practical. Why not,
however, borrow a brilliant idea from Sec
retary Chase and issue butter certificates
If gold certificates can cure speculation in
gold, butter certificates can surely cure
speculation in butter.

BRIDGING THE OHIo.4-At q meeting Of
the Board of Directors of the Baltimore
and Ohio Rsilroad "a contract with the
Marietta and Cincinnati Company las.re-
organized) for the construction of q bridge
over the Ohio river. to connect the North
western Virginia and Marietta and Cinein
u,t Railroads, was presented. After a
statement by the President that it was
proposed to build this bridge under the
charter granted by the Congress iofthe Uni
ted States, and that the forra of agreement
prepared by the counsel of the Baltimore
and Ohio and Marietta and Cincinnati Com
pauies was deemed the best that could be
arranged it was approved. The President
stated that the insolvent condition and
great embarrassment of theitinances of the
Northwestern Company prevented that
Company from furnishing any aid to this
enterprise. 1t was necessary that the
bridge should be built independently, of
tudt fodu, auA tuo pau uou sacEOtoic oStu
proposed that the structure be erected BY a
fund to be contributed in the proportion of
two thirds by the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany and one third by the Marietta and
Cincinnati Company, the whole to be Sc
cured by a direct lien upon the bridge. The
proportion of the cost for the Baltimore and
Ohio Company was estimated at $500, 900.
In view of the facts that the Marietta and
Cincinnati Company, under its reorganiza
ton, had effected entire relief from its finan
cial ADVERTISEMENTS, and is rapidly per-
tecting its line and constructing an inde-
pendent route to Cincinnati, it become of
great Importance to secure the completion
of this bridge as early as practicable. He
therefore advised the adoption Of the agree
mant, which had been ,favorably reported
upon by the Committee Of Finance, and on
motion the contract was unanimously ap-
proved"
