The Cincinnati FOiksfroRhd Peoples
FFiend.)
A few days ago, this German copper
head paper produced quite a sensation BY
hosting the name Of John C. Fremont.
Everybody wondered as to the logical con-
nectiOn between Vallandighan whom it
supported last year, and Fremont. In
Thursdays issue, however, the name Of
Fremont is Withdrawn, and at the place
where his name was blszOned forth for
two weeks, we have the account Of the Co.
lumbus COpperhead Convention. In the
local department Of the paper, almost out
of sight, the fOllowir3 explanation is
found:
The course which we took on March
18th, and our article explanatory Of such
course was commented upon by almost all
Of the papers in the loyal States. Our in
dependent position is therefore sstisfac.
torily known everywhere, and we see no
reason to continue the name Of John c.
Fremont at the head Of cur paper.
We take this opportunity to say that we
are glad to announce that the large ma
jority Of cur readers are ready and deter
mined to enter any combination for the
purpose
l. To defeat Abraham Lincoln.
2. To prevent the election Of a secesh
sympathiEsr to the Presidency"
This lofty tumbling Of the Cincinnati
German acrobat is a source Of general
merriment to its felloW-Germans. Its 'fn-
dependent position" is wOndrcusly beau
tiful, considering what q sslvo Of artillery
it fired in the beginning. The true expla-
nation is undoubtedly the fact that its ps-
irons were cOpperhesds to the core and
cruld not see the wisdom Of hosting the
name Of SO great an abOlitiOnist as Ere
mont.

Sir ROwlsnd Hill, the originator Of the
penny postage in England, has just re-
signed, Ostensibly on account of ill health,
but really, it is said, on account Of diss-
greement with his superior in Office. Its
nearly twenty. seven years since he began
his work. In thst time the number Of
letters passing through the British post
Office has risen from seventy-six millions
to more than six hundred millions per an
nun; the amount of money sent by mail
hssincreased from eS4S. 900 to Gl5, 900, 900;
he contrived to make the mails secure to
make the postofice clerks and servants
comfortable, and to establish system of
promotion which has created in England
what We have not, s postofioe service.

Judge Baldwin, On old and hi hly re-
spectacle and sedste gentleman, called g
few days since on General Hslleck, and
presuming upon a familiar acquaintance
In California few years since, solicited 8

met With Q refusal rs both his brother and
himself were good Union men. ave have
been deceived too often,p said General
Hslleck, and regret can't grant it."
Judge B. then went 10 Stanton, and was
very briefly disposed of with the same re-
suit. Finally he obtained sn interview
with Lincoln, and stated his case. "Hsve
you applied TO General Hslleck 2" inquired
the President. "And met with a REFUSAL"
said Judge B. Then you must see Stan
