An OH DEScRIrrros OF A CopPERHEAp.-
In one of the speeches made during the last
war with Great Britain, by Felix Grundy OF
Tennessee. occurs the following description
of thorough-going Copperhead, as seen ut
the present day:
"An individual goes over, joins the ranks
OF the enemy, and raises his arms against his
country, is clearly guilty OF treason under
the Constitution, tho overt net being con-
summated. Suppose the Same individual not
to 20 over to the enemy, but to remain in his
o,en nsighborhood, and BY means Of has IN
fuence 10 dissudde ten men from existing
ask in which case has he benefited the enc
my and injured the country most?"
Again he says, in answering the question,
"Whom, then, DO accuse? accuse him,
sir, who Processes himself to DO the friend Of
his country and enjoys its protection, yet
proves himself by his actions to be the friend
Of its enemy; accuse him who sets himself
to work systematically to weaken the arm of
this Government by destroying its credit and
dampening the aIdor of its citizens | accuse
him who has used his exertions to defeat the
loan and prevent the young men Of the coun.
try from going forth to fight their country's
battles accuse him who. announces with
oy the disasters Of our arms, and sinks into
Melancholy when he hears Of our success.
UGH men cannot consider friends to this
ntion."

EAn intelligent English gentleman oil
note, at present the New York correspond
ent of a London paper, is giving some very
pleasant biographical and anecdotal sketches
illustrative oil that peculiarly American type
of character exhibited in such self made men
as George Law, P. T. Barnum, Commodore
Vanderbilt, etc. The following extract is
interesting as exhibiting good instance Of
that intense force Of character, more fire.
quently found portrayed in American Biog-
raphy than in that Of any other nation,
which is made up Of such energy, persever-
ance and firmness Of purpose as always gives
to its possessor the power to overcome all OBJ
stacles however great;
"In passing up Broadway, the eye of the
stranger is attracted by a magnificent block
of warehouses in the vicinity OF the st. Mich
olas and Metropolitan Hotels for which the
sum OF FIVE hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars in cash lover one hundred thousand

Barnum the Snowman. | do not speak Of

liable buildings but when the fact is taken
into consideration that the purchaser, who
is nearly as we'll known in Europe rs here,

to be at least seven hundred and fifty thous.

pounds sterling y worse of than nothing,
the circumstance may be very properly con.
sidered us quite marvellous. After once ac-
quiring large fortune, Mr.. Barnum through
his generous endeayors to assist others be-
came involved to an extent which would
have totally crushed and discouraged any or
binary man; but rallying with the true
spirit OF American genius and enterprise, OF
which he is most fitting type, he has,not
only paid every cent Of the enormous liabili-
ties incurred for the benefit Of others, but is
to-day worth more than two millions Of dol
lars, and owes no man mill. He is distin.
guished for his wit, frankncss and congenial-
ity, lifelong consistent advocacy Of the
temperance cause, and unbounded liberality
to the poor Western Rerielc.

judicious increase Of taxation resortcd to ?
These questions arc more easily asked than
answered. At any rate, we hopO Congress
will do something to properly regulate our
national finances, or give place to those who
will. To meet our increasing liabilities VIC
ought to have the tax on imported Injuries
doubled, and one hundred millions OF dollars
thereby added to our finances, and more at
tention paid to the collection Of taxes already
levied.

Back on these troublous times will our

picture to ourselves group OF noble young
