cause the conscription bill contained
an exemption clanse. We were told
that by the provisions Of this

was oppressed, and the rich man
permitted to escape from military
duty. According to these people,
of all the Infamous measures of tie
Administration, none excelled this
exemption clause of the conscription
act. The poor and ignorant foreign
ers and mechanics were told that
the first act of the triumphant Dem
ocracy would be to repeal the obnox-

do what, last year, the C0pperheads
were committing murder and as

Administration refused to do. The

JUNE Sth 1864
Mr.. STEWART:

nlh- OIhh AhI.
Since my last some
incidents of interest have transpired,
to wit: June 4th. P. NJ, four-horse
team belonging to company d, went
just outside the pickets to get wood,
but contrary to orders, took no guard
with it, having three men unarmed.
The wood was loaded and the boys
mounted on the wagon, when three
armed rebs, or thieves, made their
appearance and ordered them to dis
mount, which they did. The Rebels
took the horses from the wagon and
made good their retreat. The Boys
were released after travelling so far
that they could not give the alarm
in time to effect anything. This
smacks of Yankeel u
On the 9th Lit Col. Hampton and
Adjt Goodspeed started to Barbours
vile with four-mule team of Co.
F. The Col. and Adjt being in ad-
vance, turned off to spring to get
water when the Col. received a kick
from the Adjutant's horse which frac-
tured his leg below the knee. 1 saw
him few moments after the acct
dent and though he must have suffer
ed much, he bore it patiently and
talked cheerfully while being convey
ed to Barboursville. The same even
ing there came up thunder storm
and the lightning struck Mud Bridge,
where our pickets were stationed,
shocking them severely but not dan
gerously.
Capt, Manck now commands this
Post, We have plenty of ammuni-
ton, and are ready to give the rebs
warm reception, should any be so
foolish as to come for US.
The weather is very wet and our
quarters very leaky, which with pick
ct and guard duty every other night
to the man is telling rather unfavor-
ably on our health. One of CO. F
hes been sent to the Hospital at Bar
louisville.
We hope the weather will soon be
more settled, duty Ii ghtened. health
improved, and the light of Gods ap.
proving smile shine upon US. Chris

gLet it be passed around from
hand to hand until every working
man in the land has committed it 10
memory, that when ABRAHAM LIN
coin, our President, and ANDREW
JOHNSON, formerly Senator, and now
Governor, two workingmen and
champions of labor, were nominated
for office, the organ of the Democracy
sneered at them as "a rail-splitting
buffoon and boorish tailor both
from the backwoods, both growing
up in uncouth ignorance" Thus we
see that when laboring men by their
own industry rise to honor, these
new-fedged Democrats have nc
words for them but words of con
tempt and scorn. gca 1il9s 5.o u

THE new MARRIAGE.

Come all men from the east and
the west, and let us sing the new ep-
ithalamium. Let joy prevail
throughout the land, for after many
years of bitterness between the radi-
Gals and Copperheads we are to have
peace, and union, and felicity. The
banns have been read-the marriage
settlements are being prepared-the
bride is blushing, and timid, and
anxious-the bridegroom looks for
ward with impatience to the happy
hour. The day of the wedding has
been fixed, and prudish gossips bid
us anticipate happy fruits from the
happy union. 1t is no family affair
of ours, perhaps, but let us all he
neighborly and kind, and go to
church on the appointed morning.
We then may greet the new couple
and wish them all manner cf happi-
ness, and many, many, returns of the
day. @ ~ &-S 4. ~ =
Who are to be the happy pair?
Nay, do not laugh and turn away
and chide and deride them; for if
. they are to love and cherish each
other, what right have we to inter-
fere or pronounce impedimentsf Miss
Radical Democracy from Cleveland,
supported by Misses Fremont and
Cochrane, to Mr. Copperhead Dem
ocracy, of Chicago, whose next best
friends have not been named-these
are the happy beings, and may the
sun shine brightly upon them on the
eventful morning. People do talk,
of course, and say that Misses Ere
mont and Cochrane are two old
maids who have been long time in
the market, and. having tried all
means to make match of their own
find the chances becoming desperate
and their charms familiar. They
can find no opportunity in any re
spectacle family, and so try theil
fortunes with this new concern in
Cleveland, in the hope that all viii
be arranged at Chicago, with wint
and cake for every guest. We dc

THE SONG OF THE PEOPLE.
Have you heard the glad shout that is born
on the breeze;
That starts from the mountains and swells E
the seas;
The voice of the men that for liberty stand;
The shout Of . saved and q purified lsndf
In the hills of New Hampshire its chorus be
gan;
To the far Eldorado its harmonies nan;
The shores of two oceans its echoes prolong,
Der all the broad continent tossing the song
"To the Man Of the People, the Man of the
Hour! ~ -'--7f'---ss q 49,
To whom was the labor be granted the power!
Our voice is for LINCOLN, the true and the
tried;
And let sore-heads and copperheads both
stand aside!
"The way of the sore-head transgressor is
hard
Mad, hungry, and desperate corporal's guard;
With their penniless Croesus and stay at
home Mars,
Who lost all their light when they gave up
their stars.
"Of the Ccpperhead faction we won't say a
word;
A subject so dead should be carefully stirred.
Der the used-up cshal we'll forgivingly tread
And leave the dead traitors to bury their dead.
''Hurrah, then, for Lincoln, the fearless and
true. aal
We will stick by the captain that sticks BY his
crew;
He'll not fail in e calm, who the tempest has
braved,
And LINCOLN shall rule Ger the land he has
savedi''

BUTLER.

Major General Butler Is Probabl,
the most Intensely hated Of all th,
radical champions of the Union
hated, we mean, by those xho ar,
at heart the foes of that Union, ant
ready to see it separated and destroy
ed The rebels have made bin the
chief object of their venom; and the
sympathizers with the rebels Fe echo
their falsehoods and add q deadliei
poison to their slanders. There is
hardly crime in the calenda< OF
crime that has not been imputed to
him. OF course, that which Isl SO
patent to the domestic enemiess of
the Government is eagerly echoed
and amplified by our foreign epemjs =.
Meanwhile the General moves On
with unrufned temper and mistaken
courage. No menace appals, no
ridicule disturbs him, He has mar
ked out his path, and he walks in it
without hesitation or halting.-
Occasionally he stops to notice the
fabrications of his assailants, and
when he does his rebuke is over
whelming. 1t is amusing to see how a
single sentence from his pen crushes
into silence the most elaborate cal
umniator. And yet for every one of
these detected forgers new brood
appears to meet a similar fate. 1t is
a sad fact that every earnest leader
Of our armies, and every thorough
statesman who is imbued with the
principles that shouldinspire all of us
is subjected to constant fire of
falsehood and detraction; yet these
men are the sure pioneers of our
national salvation. The radical pat
riot must refuse the applause ofthose
who fatter only to ruin. He must
stand on his own belief, anddo his
luty at whatever hazard. Then he
ian vlndicate himself by word, as
Butler has done, time and again,
With his prosecutors and pursuers.
