WHAT sHAAL BE DoNE WITH THE NEGRo?-
This question is frequently asked by the Cop
perheads. We confess it is very comprehen-
sive one, and very difficult to answer fully and
We suppose the rebels at the
South will continue to whip and abuse them,
miscegeate with them, sell their children as they
have done, and that the Copperheads will con-
tinue to make political capital out of them, or
try to do SO. The best thing the Copperheads
can do with the negroes is to let them alone

lal loss, having taken 1000 mules and horses
destroyed 20 mills, several thousand bales of ;,
cotton, more than 100 cars, Is locomotives torn l.
up nearly 300 miles of railroad, and brought I
away 10000 able-bodied producers would the

man exposed the weakness of the enemy as !
scarcely anything in the war has done, and that !

ended, the valiant SeceSh warriors are now III a l

rest as have not fled, like cowards will also be
lprehended. The preliminary examination of I
he prisoners has commenced. Those convicted t
will of course be hanged, and the hanging of t
hem will make every loyal heart glad. The t
oul treason of those cowardly Northern repels
IS as much worse than that of the Southern reb- t
sls as knaves are worse than fOOls.-Chi. Jour. a
