The COMING CoPPERHEAD CELEBRArIoN.-
1t is currently reported that the Copperheads
are preparing for a celebration at this place
on the approaching 4th. We have been In
formed that they endeayored to perpetrate a
contemplate trick upon the Union citizens Of
this place by getting the town council, com
posed of men who have denounced the Gov
erument,. the war, and the soldiers, to take the
thing in their own hands, and conduct it to
their own satisfaction. Of course the Union
men seorned such proceeding and have gone
forward to get up celebration where they
can enjoy themselves without being 'snubbed'
by Copperheads who have charged Grant with
numbering our men and styled the Virginia
battles the slaughter pens of Virginia
These same fellows couldn't show the least
sign of rejoicing when Richmond fell, or Lees
army surrendered, or display thread of sym
pathy when our lamented Chief Magistrate
was assassinated, but they are very patriotic
now.
FOURTH OF July CELEBRATION. The Com
mittee of arrangements announced in this pa
per last week, has been very active in making
preparations for the demonstration contem-
plated by the Union men on this day. An
auxiliary committee Of ladies, Mrs. George
W. Rupp, Mrs. Alex. King, Mrs A. B. Cra-
mer, Mrs. W. W. Shuck and Mrs j. R. Dur
borrow, has been earnestly cooperating with
the former committee during the week. The
town has been thoroughly canvassed and eY-
cry thing bids fair TO make one of the great
est celebrations ever gotten up in this commu
nifty. Col. John H. Filler has been reques-
ted to deliver the oration and he has consen-
ted to do so. 1t viii give the many admirers
Of the Colonel an opportunity to hear him
once more, after an absence of twenty months
in foul Southern prison. NJ. A. Points,
Esq, has been selected to read the Declara-
ton Of Independence. Thirty-six beautiful
young ladies have agreed to impersonate the
different States. A resolution was unanimous
ly passed in committee inviting every soldier
in the county Soldiers you who have borne
the brunt of the battle, you who have carried
our flag in triumph to every Southern thresh-
hold, you who have brought peace from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande, come as one man
and let us, on the anniversary Of our national
birth rejoice at what has been accomplished.
Come, ample provisions viii be made for
you. The loyal and patriotic citizens who
have stood by the government in the hours OF
its peril, who have maintained by word and
deed It's integrity, and who can now rejoice
in the overthrow of slavery and treason, are
invited TO come, enc and all, and participate.
Any donations our farmers can make of pro
visions, flowers, &C., viii be thankfully lyreceiyed
by thecommittee. Samuel DeGbaugh woods
west of town, has been secured as the place Of
resort. The committee has handed US the
following general invitation

Of the brave soldiery of the Union, our coun-
try has been preserved, and the respect by the
