a SUBSTITUTE FOR CoPPEEAs:-A friend ia-.
forms us that his wife has tried the following
recipe as substitute for cepperas, and found
that it answers the purpose well: Take Quantity
Of old iron and put lin an eaAhen pot then pour
on sufficient vinegar or sour beer to cover the
iron let it stand two or three weeks then use
it as a solution of eopperas Theron should be
free from grease or paint, SO that the acid may
.operate -Copperas is nothing more than
a sulphate Of iron, and, therefore, the nho7e:
recipe must be reliable.

The recent conflict of authority between
Gov. Elaskey and Gen. SocuIn, about organ
ixing the militia, Which President johnson has
decided in favor Of tho former, Is an eye
opener to every soldier and Union man. The
General says In his order that Union men arc
the only ones that have had dcprcdatfons
committed upon them, and correctly argues
that it is by the same gang Of highwaymen
that Gov. Sharkey Intended to put In arms.
The General In weighing the subject no doubt
reverted In some way TO the civil appoint
mcnts Of the Governor (madc Immediately
upon Ills return from Washington) in Vicks-
burg and vicinity. Now let ub for a moment
look at those appointments, and judge for
ourselves, what conclusion the General should
arrive at .
First upon the list VIC find Judge smidcs, 4
notorious 'seccssionfst, one Of the original
Regulators" who did more 10 tar and
feather aud destroy the lives Of Northern
men, than almost any man In the vicinity Of
VicEeburg. He WIS made Judge of Probate:

where be held the rank Of Major, with the
lnss OF IN ar1n.} His first aet was to issue q.
writ Of Aabcds corpus for the delivery from
military authority, of Jackson, committed
for the murder OF q poor negro. For Ills en-
crry il the canse OF secession he WAS ttcom-
mcnded Us the most desirable man In the
State, to jeff. Davis, for lucrative Office con-
uected with tho conscriptiye bureau. This
Recommendation WINS found by Maj, Gen.
Howard, and forwarded BY him to Gen. Smith,
at VIcksburg, to be sent to Governor Sharkcy,
~ Next IS The public prosecutor Buck, young
gentleman of some ability, who, for his en-.
| cycy and soundncss on secession, was elected
| by ihc people, e,during Confederate times to the
Ea1pe ofilce For Sheriff aIr, Shannon was
formerly proprietor Of the Eicksburg Wing.
1 The justices Of the Peace-Mr. Befchil re-
Gently returned from the rebel army, and Mr..
George Is TOO old for anything. These con-
etilute Judge sharkey's direct appointments
in this city.
His recommendations were: For Post Mas
ter, Judge Barnett, whose children were ban-
5IcPherEon and tic father aud mother sent
ont afterwards by Gen. Dana for the same
ctence; ior Collector Of Customs, Victor VII.
ION, a good rebel, since dead. The two latter
were appointed by President johnson upon
tie Recommendation of the Governor.
Now, in all these appointments and recon-
mendations by Nj. Sharkey, re only Ind IN
tie whole number oac Union man, to VII
Sheriff Shannon. This looks well for tho Gov
ernor, IN the very city where Gen: sloeum

Its genial political sentiment. This indi-

.cetning bis family or relations could be
learned from him. Finally he sickened and
