The PRoMPrNEss with which President
Johnson ordered the Assassins of Presi-
dent Lincoln to be hung, caused quite sti
among the Cops. Theyswore and denounced
things generally. The telegram was an awful
damper.
c4L -, n -, e. a,.,,,,, 20 GO Hoo f,,lT,,
changed that the European powers can't rec
ogaize it, The he and she rebels about Bed
ford are so metamorphosed by singing the
Star Spangled Banner and other national
songs that they don't know themselves. They
so far forgot their identity that they tried to
celebrate the 4th like loyal people.
A MoURxFUL spectacle The Cops as they
marched along our streets on the 4th, remin-
ded us uf funeral procession. They had no
life, no spirit, no enthusiasm. Their conduct
no doubt was in accordance with their feel
ings. The rebellion being dead they must
feel sad. Poor fellows we pity them. All
their sympathy for traitors and all the breath
they spent on habeas corpus, illegal arrests
.'tyrants' and ''abolitionists" absolutely was
ted.
"Who aaunted the red white and red?''
No citizen of this county that tge euer SAW.
That charge is a lie out of whole eloth.-Ga-
zette.
It is we'll known fact that every female in
this town of the Copperlead persuasion, who
was able, trotted out her children in "red
white and red, aping after the Baltimore Sc
cesh who visited the Springs. This is as no
torous as the Gazette's call for the re-assem-
bling of the Chicago Convention after the de-
feat of Mcclellan. Is it lie out of whole
cloth
A CORRECT vIEw.-A subHmated transcen-
dental Cop wouldn't join his fellow Cops in
their celebration Of the 4th. "Rejoice, said
be, ''this is no time for rejoicing-we ought
to put on sackcloth and ashes.' We think
he was right in his view of the subject and
most undoubtedly right when he added the
abolitionists, meaning the Union men, ''are
the only consistent party Copperheads re-
ioicing on the glorious 4th of July Don't
they remember Gettysburg Have they for
gotten yicksburg? Away with such hypoc-
risy
DIsrREssISG.-Th Gazette in speaking of
the Hon. John Cessna says swell, we don't
wish to be understood that re desire his
friendship" Now, Meyers amt You too
cruel? Just think for one moment what an
inaiction it is to be deprived of your friend
ship. What loss to any man, the withhold
ing ofyour friendship would be- 1t causes us
unutterable distress to hear you talk so, and
we feel confident that Mr.. Cessna cannot long
survive the shock that the intelligence that
you do not desire his friendship viii give
him.
Love NE, LOVE ny DOG is an old maxim
and it is as true now as it was when it was FIRST
penned. The Copperheads used to call the
soldiers ''Lincolns dogs and "Lincoln's
pups and their love for the "dogs' and
pups" was exactly equal to their love for
the assassinated President. One copless than
year ago, expressed his feelings in a note to
the editor of the INQUIRER in which he said
. | have about the same friendship for J. Da-
Wis that have for A. Lincoln which may
- give you some idea how well | like him"
IL BAD ceMP3yY.-The ten veterans who
got Slightly mixed" and went to Copper
head Hilr' on the 4th inst, could not have
been very fastidious in the selection of their
company. BY examing the last Gazette close
ly the names of each of the ten can be CLEAN
ed, also several who didn't "mix," but who
it was thought would. What pity the Ga
zette didn't put their names all under one
head, it would have saved the reading oi
much prevalent matter. Wonder how they
liked the deserters, skedaddlers, skulkers,
hospital bummers, &c, that we're so eonspic-
uous on that day. We think they wouldn'i
be very congenial.
The LAST BAND OF GUERKILLAs.-A friend
sends us the following capital chit
"'Ihe most conspicuous worthless | noticed
at the late "Copperhead Fizzle," were tht
great Gin his own estimation) "iShooF man
and CAPTAIN Welsh, equally addIe-pated, botf
played the clown beautifully.
The latter assumed to marshal the forces
from Harman's Bottom and Wills Creek
into Bedford, and an amusing incident is con
nected Herewith. A soldier, and withal ;
wag, passing the delegation, observed thr
medley of Cops of every sex, hue and coIol
