s8~At a copperhead meeting in Ossipee,
n. H., few days since says the Register of that
town, lone of the speakers, in the course of
his remarks, offered, most generously, while
speaking of the paper currency of the United
States, to give dollar in greenbacks for
silver dollar, and encouraged by the fact of no
ones stirring, he offered dollar in paper for
the sight OF silver dollar. Thereat one of
those in the hall left the room, and soon the
silver dollar was produced. But by that time
the offer was transformed into the slip of the
tongue, and the greenback was not forth CON-

From Mobile.

ST. LOUIS, March Z.
Capt. Hopkins, well known here before the
war as river Captain, arrived here on Satur-
day from Mobile 18th ult. He says there are
but 5000 troops in Mobile, and though the for
tiilcations in the rear Of the city were good,
they could be carried by large force. Sher-
mans movements frightened the people ter
ribly, but desperate resistance would have
been made had he attacked the city. Every
male there between the ages of Is and s.,
was well drilled soldier. There is no dis
tress in the South but the people are willing to
accept peace oil almost any terms.

THE BoHEMIAN-The fears of our citizens
that the steamer Bohemian would break up
during the present severe storm is being rap
idly realized. At noon yesterday her masts
came out, which broke up the deck and the
valuable cargo is being scattered in every di-
rection. A gentleman from Saco came into
the city last evening and brought the intelli-
gence that several articles had been found up
on the shore in that town that undoubtedly
came from the steamer.
Collector Washburn sent large number OF
men to the neighborhood of the wreck who re-
manned there during the day to guard the
property that came ashore. Capt Webster
aud crew of the U. S. cutter Dobbin, have
been constantly on duty to prevent the depre-
dations of those who are ever ready to pilfer
anything they can lay their hands upon, with
out regard to the severity of the law. The
Collector has also telegraphed to the Custom
House officers at Saco, Kennebunk, and York,
and has taken all the precaution that can be
taken, to protect and restore to the owners
the property that comes ashore. The large
and valuable cargo will be scattered in every
direction, much of which will be picked up by
vessels on this coast, and it is to be hoped
there is honor enough, or at any rate sufficient
fear of consequences, to prompt every man
who finds package of the goods, to deliver
them to the proper persons or inform the Col
lector of this port by letter or telegraph from
the first port they may put in.

of the scene there presented. Boxes of goods
are coming ashore in large numbers and are
stove to pieces, and rich silks, ribbons, broad

from as far east as Monhegan, and are taking
possession of what falls in their way Several

are doing what they can to collect the goods
as fast as they come ashore, and carry them to
