Charles Walsh Is a man we'll known
as q virulent Irish Copperhead. and is
the 6rst man suspected Of being coz
nected with the proposed insurrection.
Daring the late Copperhead Convention,

ia manufacturing large numbers Of bul-
lets, and since that time be be has been
closely Watched For sons time past 1t
was known that be was secrepng some
men IN bis house, IS be was purchasing
from twelve 70 twenty pounds OF beef
steak per day, and on bis arrest, Capt.
CantreIl aud private Charles Traverse,
both in the rebel service, we're found
and, OF course, alo arrested. Capt

+ On the whole there is more than suffi-

Baekner S Morris is Kentuckau Of
some notoriety IN this city, inasmuch as
be has for some time past been suspect

election to thatoEce, four years ago ran
on the Copperhead ticket for the position
Of Governor, in which he vas bsdly

MARKED ARTICLES.

Some of the marks which are fastened ON
the blankets, shirts, &C., sent to tho Santa
ry Commission for the soldiers, show the
thought and feeling at home. Thus-on a
homespun blanket, worn, but washed as
clean as snow, was pinned bit of paper
which said: "This blanket was carried by
Milly Aldrich (who is ninety. three years old J
down hill and up hill one and a-hslf miles,
to be given to some soldier
On bed quilt was pinned a card, saying
"My son is in the army. Whoever is made
warm by this quilt, which have worked on
for six days and most all of six nights, let
him remember his own mothers love-"
On another blanket was this #: "This blan-
ket was used by a soldier in the war of 1912
may it keep some soldier warm in this war
against traitors"
On pillow was written: "This pillow be-
longed to my little boy, who died resting on
it; it is a precious treasure to me, but !
give it for the soldiers
On pair Of wooden socks was written -
" These stockings were knit by little girl
five years old, and she is going to knit some
more. for mother says it will help some poor
soldier"
On box of beautiful lint was this mark ::
" Made in sick room, where the sunlight
has not entered for nine years, but where
God has entered, and where two sons have
bid their mother good-by as they have gone
out to the war"
On a bundle containing bandagea was
written: "This is poor gift, but it is all
had have given my husband and my boy,
and only wish l had more to give, but
haven't"
On some eye-shades were marked "Made
by one who is blind. Oh, how l long to
see the dear Old Flag that you are all fight
ing under"

NEW RITUAL OF THE X. G. C.S.

The Chicago Tribune publishes new
ritual of the Knights of the Golden
Circle" said to have been adopted At
meeting just held in that city. The
Tribune says:
&c Its features are cunningly and skill
fully drawn, and if carried out would
perfect strong and compact organiza-
ton. The society is composed Of clubs
of ten, each acting under chief. These
clubs are completely isolated, and un-
known to each other. The chief of one
club reports back to the club where he
was initiated, but beyond these two
clubs he is unacquainted with the indi-
vidual members of the organization.-
These clubs are composed Of personal
friends or business men closely associa-
ted, so that they may act in harmony or
be readily called together, and are pro-
vided with technical signs, passwords,
and grips, and each member designated
by a number, the chief being /, vice
chief 2, &c. All of the minor details
of the organization and the programme
for tho development of its plans are
shrewdly arranged and elaborated, and
make, when combined, powerful secret
society, the detection or suppression of
which would be well-nigh impossible
Unknown to itself, it would work, new
ertheless, in complete harmony through
out its various ramI6cations to the &C
complishment of its objects.
This organization has double object
in view, first, the election of Copper
head like Mcclellan or Vallandigham to
the Presidency, by which the indepcn.
dence of the rebels may be secured with
slavery restored to them or, failing in
that, the kinding Of tue flames of civil
war IN the North, which shall compass
the same object, and to this end these
clubs are being extended all over Hi
nois, and will rapidly spread through
the other States. This exposure will
serve to put Union men on their guard,
and thwart their diabolcal schemes. We
are DO alar4nists, but we warn loyal mel
of the danger ahead, in the hope that
by timely action and energetic efforts
the plottings of this reasonable organ
ization may be Of no avail"
Here is q passage from the " ritual"
We are against tie determination of
the white race of tue South, and against
the universal emancipation of the black
race by Federal authority. We are
against the effort now making to bring
black labor in competition with the la
Dor of the freemen of Illinois. We are
against every infringement Of the rules
Of civilized war. We are against the
Administration of Abraham Lincoln {:
and We believe that policy looking to
peace, founded on good faith, an honest
Interpretation Of the Constitution, and a
real desire to restore the brotherhood of
States and sections, are the only means
to reconstruct the Union and save the
Republic.

why q Southern Born Man il
Anti.Slavery.

There was an immense Union war
meeting at Bryon Hall, Chicago, recent
ly, at which Governor Yates, of Illinois,
was the principle speaker. In the course
of his remarks, he said:
81 am anti-slavery, not because l was
born in New England, and have my pre-
judices against the Southern people, but
because was born in the South there
centre all the memories of my youth,
there is the home Of my kindred, and |
believe that the warm, genial pulsa,ions
of humanity flow in as deep current
through Southern veins Is in any people
beneath the sun-but slavery has been
the canker of the South, to eat out both
its substance aud its manhood, and to
subject it to boastful, insulting, AFRO.
CANT aristocracy, which, from the habit
OF tyranizing over the poor slave, has
become TOO pampered and arrogant to
submit to the rightful au hority Of good
government and laws. Slavery not only
oppressed the African race, sunderiLg
husband from wife and father from son,
sxacting service without remuneration,
but degraded the poor white, deprived
him Of his rights, reduced the wages Of
his labor, divided the land into large
plantations, so that the white population
was sparse and schools few and remote.
1t stood y, perpetual living wall, a
black and CHASTITY spectre to roll back
the tide Of emigration which was pour
ing from Europe and New England, and
which sought the prairies aud woods of
tho Northwest, aud which, under the
genius and life-giviug energy of free
labor and free institutions, has marched
forward With stalwart giant tread to
wealth and power, while the South, with
its fertile soil and genial sky, has droop-
cd and withered beneath the curse Of
slavery.
1t is for the South, as we'll as for the
welfare of the country, that l wish to
see slavery extinguished. Small farms,
free labor, free schools, \ free Prcss and
open Bibles, free institutions will make
the South bloom and blossom as the
rose. Loud cheers Whenever self
poised aud concious of her moral status
and power-when every man can lift up
to God unfettered limbs and soul-then
the South will start with u bound emf
grafton and genius, aud art, and enter
PRISE will seek her sunny hills and wales;
and these shall be the Lookout Noun
tains upon her deliverauce and race Of
unending progress to wealth, power, and
renowu." Leugthsned applauss.l

AsuORT COMMUNAL LECTURE

Scolding1 am not scolding never
do, Rasher! III express my mind about
anything you begin to talk about "curtai in
lectures" and all that kind Of vulgar
stuff. Men have fairly worn out their
own tongues talking about woman's
tongnc:, yet I've got to live to see tho
day when man admired quiet woman
You always see them running after the
silliest cha terboxes. The faster they
can talk and The more foolish things they
ian say the better they like EN-
provided always it amt their own wife
It's only last night, at Mrs. Yellow
Docks you was perfectly infatuated with
that Mrs. Giggle that we wo man despise
l had to laugh in my sleeve, to see how
you stuck by her side the whole evening.
Jealous! Not a bit of it. Me and
Grimace were watching you and enjoying
ourselves very much.--Grimacc told me
it was surprising to see man with such
= wife As you had interested in that silly
little widow. You were charmed with
her good nature. Ipresume so. You'd
rather have somebody with an eternal
smile on their face, than to hear the
wittiest things said in cutting away. The
fact is, Rasher, you're MOI judge Of
the female sex they can pull the wool
over. your eyes wi hout the least difficult
ty. You presume l am as we'll aware
Of that weakness as any one. Oh now
don't be getting sharp-it amt becoming
Of you Give me the monej asked
for, that's all | want of you. Men were
made 10 earn money, and woman to spend
it; that's what's the matter. Mr..

THE AMERICAN CONFLICT.

Among the thirty or more histories of
the Rebellion now writing and publish
ing, the most noteworthy is the History
of the American Conflict by Horace
Greedy, in that it is altogether different
from any of them in its character and
scope. The object of the suthor is to
exhibit the drift and progress of Amer
lean opinion respecting negro slavery
from l776 to 1864, and show how intri-
cately inwoven the "peculiar institu.
ton !" is, with all the moral and politi-
cal phases of the Rebellion.
We know of no man as competent to
write such History Is Mr.. Greedy !;
and from the specimen pages we have
seen have no hesitation in saying the
book will be one Of intense interest to
all classes Of readers.
There never was so gigantic = crime
when al the surrounding circumstances
are taken into acknowledgements
ted 80 deliberately and boldly by ma
ton, as tho enslavement Of four millions
Of human beings by the American peo-
pie, and the bloody conflict that we are
now waging for the preservation of the
Government, is but one Of the legiti-
mate results of the attempt to per-
petuate the iniquitous system by per-
vernng all the teachings and opin-
ions Of the early fathers, and turn
ing the free and bene6cent Govern
ment they shed their blood to establish,
into an engine of injustice, oppression
and slavery. And when this narrative
Of the insolent aggressions of the slave
power is written and published, men
will wonder how an intelligent freedom
loving people ever submitted 20 long
and SO tamely to tho insults and en-
croachnents Of blatant, over bearing
slave Oligarchy.
MIR. Greedy has undertaken 4 mighty
task, but it is one for which be is emf
nentIy qualified by bis familiarity with
the political history of the country, and
bis prominent position as tho leading
journalist Of the age and his iudom-
liable energy will enable him to carry it
to q speedy and successful termina-
ton.
The work will be printed on 6ne pa
per, and issued in two large double-col-
umn octave volumes of 600 pages, album
dainty illustrated by large number Of
fine steel plate cngravings, maps, dia-
grams Of battle fields, &C., &c.
The FIRST volum will be issued in NAV,
and the price of the complete work will
be seven, eight, and twelve dollars &C.
cordng to the quality of the binding
1t will be sold exclusively BY subscrip-
zion. The publishers are Messrs. D. D.

Two KINDS OF GIRLS There are
two kinds of girls. One is the kind
that appear, best abroad-the girls that
are good for parties, rides, visits, balls,
2etc., and whose chief delights are in
such things. The other is that kind
that appears best at home-the girls
that are useful and cheerful in all the
precincts Of home. They differ widely
in character. One is 4 moth, consum-
inezeverythlng about her =; the other is
sunbeam, inspiring life and gladuess
all along her pathway. Now, it does
not necessarily follow that there shall
be two classes of girls. A slight edu-
cation will modify both I little, and
uni.e their good qualities into one.

MAIDEN BEAUTY.

Her hands like lily
But just at the tip
1t hath stolen tint
Like the hue of her lip!
Her brca hi like the morning,
When hyacintLs blow;
Her feet leave blessing
Wherever they go!
For each one she's something
To comfort or cheer:
When her purse fails her wishes,
She gives them tear!
Fen the sound of her step
Seems to bring them relief;
And they bless that sweet face
Which speaks hope mid their grief
Her mouths like a rosebud,
Just budding half through,
When it opens at morn
Amidst fragrance and dew;
And her heart is dwelling
Where angels might rest,
And forget their own heaven
In that Of her breast.

PLANTING OUT CABBAGE Plants
As soon as the plants which may have
been forwarded in hot beds are sufficiently
hardy to prick out, manure heavily the
bed in which they are to be set out
permanently; dig and rake it thoroughly
and when this is we'll done, mark off tho
bed in rows at the distance of two feet
apart. Some, however adopt the plan,
which is not bad one, of setting the
plants twelve inches apart At first, and
cutting out every other IS they advance
in growth for early table use.
