THE HOME GUARDS AND GEN.
ERAL COX.

The Copperhead papers are very
much elated over a communication
from Capt. +. S. PARKBR and twelve
other officers, addressed through the
Ohio Statesman to Gen. Cox, asking
certain questions on the subject of re-
construction and negro voting. When
any person or persons wearing the
United States uniform indicate by
word or letter that they belong to the
Copperhead party, the papers of that
party copy and comment upon such
evidence of aililiation with profuse-
ness that clearly indicates they are not
very frequently troubled with anything
in that direction. The above letter, to
which, in the State of Ohio, the Cen
tral Committee Of the Copperhead par
ty could only secure the signatures of
thirteen men who even pretended to be
soldiers, has been copied into ev-
cry rebel-sympathizing paper in the
State, with flourish of exstatic COM
ment that is not only amusing, but
clearly shows that they don't often get
even this much encouragement from
"the boys in blue" But who are these
thirteen soldiers whose sympathy with
the Copperheads has so gratified the
leaders and editors of that party 2
Ten of the thirteen belong to the S8tl
Regiment. Do you know what Regi
ment that is, and Where il has been o'
duty? Or, as the Statesman says:-
"Seen service during the late WARP
This is the regiment organized fol
home duty, to guard prisoners and de
serters, and has never been outside o
the State of Ohio, as n regiment, since
it was organized. 1t is the regimen
that, when our veterans returned hom
on furlough, or at the expiration o
their three years service, met them a
the depots or Railroad Stations, and il
their holiday uniforms and kid GLOW
toggcry, impudently demanded thei
passes, and If the answers did not sui
them placed the veterans under arrest
1t is the regiment of brave men, who's
soldiers at Camp Denison, Camp Chase
and Camp Cleveland, when our vetera
regiments after being mustered out c
, the service came to the Camps to i
paid of, rushed into "the service" 6
, guards over these conqucring heroe
to keep them as prisoners within I'll
limits of their filthy Camps.
, These are the soldiers that in the p
litioak contest rush with daring brave,
to the rescue of the treason cursed Col
:. perhead party in its warfare against
g brave soldier, who, since the con
C menccment of the war, has nobly dor
n his duty at The 'front.'

Lord BrOugiiallh.

The English correspondent of the Com
monweolth, describing visit to the House
OF Lords, says:
Poor old Lord Brougham came into the
House, aad was quite amazed at the signs
Of extreme age aud decay which he ex.
hibited, His face has become thin and
withered; his nose and chin are making near
acquaintance; his frame is bent and when
he walked--which he did all the time, no
matter who was speaking-itwas with steps
of two or three inches at time. As he
went about, various Lords came and took his
hands, and upon every occasion he had to
have the name whispered into his ear, upon
which he would shake the hand no held,
again and again. continuing the process to
what must have been very uncomfortable
extent, should think. In short, if the old
mans mind is (as should judge from his
recent voluminous absurdties) as doubled
up and shaky as his body is, Think We may
have reason to deal tenderly with his silly
speeches about Americe, But he his the
ruin OF o real noblenan.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

At the recent Richmond election the
rebels were successful in the election
of all their candidates. This may he
set down as the first Democratic (2)
victory oft campaign, and it may be
instructive to look little into the re
cord of the candidates. N-
Mr.. STURDIvANT who was elected
Mayor, in the beginning of the rebel
lion, raised battery, named after him,
self, which he commanded through the
war, and after the surrender of LEE,
tried to raise a guerrillalforce in Albe-
marie County to defy the Yankees.
r. Ii. TALLY, elected to the House of
Delegates, in his card soliciting the
suffrage Of the people, says;
4 Earnestly disclaiming an invidious
spirit in making allusion to tbe antecedents
! of the candidates in the field, | may, |
| think with perfect propriety, remark in this
| connection that, with the exception Of one
of them, who, for about six or twelve
months acted as surgeon under the Con
! federate Government, | am the only one OF
the five who did in reality perform active
military duty"
The characters and standing Of T. B
STARKB and Mr.. JONES who were sue
cessful candidates were thus set forth
in Richmond papers prior to the elec
ton
"T. B. STARKE FOR COMMISSIONER OF
| THE REVENUE FOR MONROE WARD Mr.
Starke joined the army in the beginning 0
our struggle, and continued in the servlc
until the end of the war; was with Gen
Lee at the surrender at Appoinattex Cour
House, where he received his parole. Ii

sale Of his house and lot for the purpose O
supplying his family while he was in tn

superior Desuiphurated Coal
found AT I lle Mouth ofRmSh Run

From the Wheeling lntelligencerl ..
The great desideratum for the manufac-
ture Of iron in this vicinity has been to
obtain if possible quality Of coal possess
ing the least possible minimum of SUI phur
in tiff none at all so much the better
Some days ago Mr.. Cyrus Mendenhall at
his boring at the mouth Of Rush Run, IA
few miles above Bridgeport on the river,
struck an eight foot vein of coal in which
no trace Of SUI phur can be detected either
by glass or by combustion. 1t is the
same coal as that obtained by Baily, Wood
ward " Co., at Steubenville--in all respects
its equal both as to quality andquantity as it
is asserted and boleyed. This discovery
must give increased impetus to the manu-
facture OF iron in this vicinity. Indeed tax
ing the fact that we have now both iron ore
OF good quality and the very best coal ly
ing side by side on the other side fthe river,
1t would seem as If other blast furnaces and
iron mills must follow those already in ex,
istence hereabouts. ''.
Mr.. Mendenhall writes as follows to the
editor Of the Steubenyille Herald in regard
to his coal vein:
FRIEND ALIsoN:-It may be a matter of
some interest to you to know that we have
passed through the coal vein at our coal
shaft at the mouth OF Rush Run, at depth
below the railroad track to the upper surface
of the vein, OF 239 feet | was present du-
ring all the work of going through the coal,
ana found, by the most careful measure.

be eight feet of clear coal On the 9th foot
we passed into the underlying clay slate. =
| have preserved the coal taken from each
foot sepsrately-it is very uniform in quail
ty, aud as far as can be ascertained by an.
pearance, is identical with your shaft vein.
1t is in strong salt water, burns to white
ash, and no sulphur can be detected in it by
a glass or combustion.
This stratum appears to undulate much
more than the upper veins--or those above
tho river bed. AT the shaft we find it 3S
feet below its position. One hundred rods

In an oil boring, four years ago, aud report
ed by the late Lemuel Browning, an laccu-
rate observer, as seven feet eight inches in
thickness at that point. ...
The fact that this valuable seam Of coal is
continuous, and becomes, in some places at
least, ofincreased thickness as il is followed
towards the centre of the basin, is Of i'm
menso Importance 10 your county, and also
to this, as a manufacturing district and

your readers the facts respecting it, as they

Thus it will be seen that Vallandigham
Thurman & Co, the ablest and most honest
leaders of the Copperhead party, are first in
the field. They will re.assert the principles
upon which the so called Democratice party
fought the disastrous campaign OF 1868, and
why should they not receive the support OF
the same ''citizens' in 1865?

sets fer Soldiers to Remem-


lust now, when the leaders Of the |
'pperhead party are making such
-eat efforts to make the returned sol
'o.crs believe they are their special
friends, it may not be out of place to
t..ll attention to a few facts, in the his
tory of the past few years, that are
oabout as pertinent upon this point as
any of the professions of friendship,
they may make now, with view to
securing the votes of these returned
soldiers.
~ When the soldiers where at the front,
their friends demanded for them the
tight, as citizens Of Ohio, to exercise
the elective fsanchse, and the Union
fncn in the Legislature introduced and
passed law granting them the right to
vote at all general elections for civil
officers, and every Copperhead in the
Legislature voted against that law
" When the ranks of the Union army
tore thined by battles and disease,
dntil, without re-enforcements, the
overthrow Of that army seemed certain,
end thee eneral Government was forced
to resort to draft to save it from des-
truction, the Copperhead party organ
tied secret oath bound societies to resist
the draft and prevent the Government
from getting men.
When bills were introduced in the
Congress of the United States to raise
money to feed, clothe and pay the SOL
diers, and pay pensions to the widows
and minor children of those who had
lied or been killed in the service, the
leading Copperheads voted against
them on their passage.
In the dark hours Of the great civil
war in 1864, when the soldiers in the
field needed the encouras cement of
cheering friends at home, the Copper
head party metin Convention at Chica-
60 and deliberately resolved that the
four years Of war for the restoration
nf the Union had been failure, and
thus gave aid and comfort to the enc.
by, instead of good cheer TO the SOL
,licrs of the Union.
When the safety of the nation re
qnired that those in power should be
sustained, and the credit of the Gov
srnment upheld, the Copperhcad party
denounced the President as q tyrant,
and opposed and villined every meas
ure Of his administration, and did
every thing that malice could dictate
10 weaken the confidence of the people
in the financial security of the
Government.
When, in spite Of their efforts to
prevent 1t, the army of the Union was
successful in defeating and overthrow
lag the rebels, these Copperheads, in
stead Of rejoicing at the result, hung
their heads In sorrow and mourned
over the result, and only rcjoiced when
il the bloody conflict the greatest
aimber OF victims were on the side of
tae Union army,
SD When the soldiers went into the
army these Copperheads called them
iScoLS hirelings, and said they went
licre 70 hght only to free the negro.
