gI~ Now that another man has been elect
ed, and the blockade of the Pennsylvania
Senate broken up, to the discontinue Of the
Copperhead conspirators, the rebels have re-
leased SenatorMajor White. The news be-
ing read in the Pennsylvania Senate, the Cop
perheads affected much satisfaction, but the
hypocrisy Of their manifestation was so ap-
parent as to disgust all honest men.-E1.
Just so long as the rebels could play into
the hands of the Copperheads by retaining
Col. WHITE, they refused to exchange him.

Great restorer of their sacred writings. His
tomb, in which his body has now rested for
nearly two thousand years, stands in the des-
