For the Journal.
Mr.. EDITOR:


Mr.. EDITOR:
Your friend ''Biue Blouse" by
giving the history OF the Copperhead
in his township, as he does in a late
number OF the journal, saves me the
trouble of repeating it. IF he had
not mentioned Campaign" we might
have applied every word of it to Rae
coon, for We have the very same
breed of snakes there, only more
so. Now and then, one Of them lets
out on the Journal in a style that
would be very painful to us if we
didn't know it was like hot shot to
them. In fact these fellows can't
stand the truth, and the way they rip
up about it shows that they feel how
N can they really are. Among as
they are like their master JEFF Davis.
They blow and buster, and curse
like drab, but when a Union sol
diers comes about, they take to their
peyticoats and speak off like "Mrs.
Davis mother
Some of them don't believe that
JEFF. has been taken at all, any more
than they do that Booth has been
killed. They all seemed to be very
sorry that Lincoln was killed, but we
think they will mourn much more
sincerely, If JEFF. stretches hemp. A
good many of them talk now about
the shame of striking man when he
is down, DC. Well in an ordinary
stand up fight this might do, if your
opponent was man of honor. But
when he happens to be a murderer
aiming at your life, or thief, at your
property, a little killing is justifable,
particularly if you know that if you
don't kill, your chances of being kill
ed are good. When l tap rattle
snake or copperhead (animal mean
that strikes at me, so as to break his
back, Think it my duty to kill him
outright. and not leave him to crawl
off and practise his game on some
body else. JEFF Davis is a murderer
and thief, not figuratively either.
He is deprived of doing present
harm. Why not take security for
the future, by deprivIng him of any
further ability to do the same crimes.
None but traitors and copperheads
will ask that he be suffered to dis
grace the naticn, by escaping the re-
ward of his deeds.

HOW THE REBEL ARCHIVES
WERE CAPTURED.

NEw YORK, May 27.-The Her
AIDS Raleigh correspondent explains
how the rebel archives fell into our
hands. General Johnston notified
General Schofeld that they were at
Charlotte. and the latter sent Lieuten-
ant Washburn for them. General
Johnston received Lieutenant Wash
burne very courteouslv, and told him
where the documents were secreted
il a cellar. He had already turned
them over to the Union commander
of the post, as he had no troops to
put over them as guard. They
were found in eighty three boxes ol
all sizes and descriptions: A large
number OF captured Union flags, duly
labeled, were found.
Governor Vance claims that though
arrested, he was not arrested as q
fugitive, forhe had previously offered
to surrender himself to General
Schofeld, but was refused, and al
lowed to return to his family.

connected with the war, is the sur
render of Kirby Smith and his forces,

This surrender winds up the last

their way to Texas, took all the wind

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY
ABOUT JEFF. DAVIS.

Washington Correspondence Rochester Demo
crat.
The testimony proving the com
plicity Of jefferson Davis is very full
and ample, but can not yet be given
to the public with any completeness
of detail. l may properly state
however, that it consists not merely
oforal, but also of documentary evil
dence-letters { of J. D. and to j. d.
sent on from Canada and Richmond,
picked up In New York and fur
nished by the citizens of Washington.
/ NAV also state, 1 suppose, without
involving the witness safety, that a
man, who has been member OF
jefferson Davis official family for
the past four years, has been here
from Richmond, and testified before
the Court, in secret session, that he
has seen letter from Jefferson Davis
to George N. Saunders, advising, as
a last resort, the assassination OF
President Lincoln and the whole
Cabinet General Grant being in the
Court room, rose and desired to
vouch for the good character and
credibility of the witness.

w On the 23d day of January

H On the 23d day of 5anusry,
1861, whilst Buchanan was playing
into the hands of Southern traitors,
and the members of his cabinet steal
ing the arms and property of the Ma
ton, the Democratic party in Ohio
held a State Convention at Colum-
bus to deliberate on the policy to be
pursued toward the rebels. Gallia
county was fully represented in that
convention by Messrs. A. Cushing
and II. II. Onderdonk.
Amongst other things said and
done at that convention, was the
adoption of the following infamous
resolution:
Resoved, That the two hundred
thousand Democrats of Ohio send to
the people of the United States, both
North and South, greeting; and when
the people of the North shall have
fulfilled their duties to the Constitu-
tion and the South, then, and not till
then, will it be proper for them to
take into consideration the question
Of the propriety of coercion.
AS 1t is probable the remnant of
the Democracy known as Copper
heads, may meet in Convention this
year to resolve" "that the war is a
failure on part of the South, and that
as heretofore they stand firmly pIedg-
ed to the support of the - Demo
cratic party, &c, we publish the Gel
ebrated 5th Resolution, as a speci-
men of their fidelity to the cause of
Our Union, and how much the nation
is indebted 10 them, for their patri-
otic efforts, even in the very inau-
guration Of the rebellion. That res
olution in the present aspect of our
national affairs, reads well. We
commend it to every butternut in the
country, as q rare sample of honesty
and good faith to the North, and
base cringing, and fawning servility
to the slave power of the South. The
usual fate of such political trimming
has befallen the authors. Their re-
ward is the univ, rsal scorn and con-
tempt Of both North and South
Richly merited as it is, let it be amply
awarded them.

R Where Booth obtained his il

@ Where Booth obtained his in
structions, may easily be OWNED
We have but to look over the speech
es of Northern Copperheads. A few
of the latter we gave in form mer
number of the Journal, and we now
call the attention of our readers to
the following extract from speech
by Roger A. Pryor, formerly mem
Der of Congress from Virginia. II
Sept. 1860, commenting on the reply
of Mr.. Douglass to the Secession
question, propounded to him during
his Norfolk speech, the said Roger
closed as follows:
"If the President of the United States
should have the temerIty TO use force to pre-.
vent the secession of a Southern State ol
States from the Union, and no effort from any
other quarter should be put forth to resist tht
exercise Of Federal power, he (R. A. P.) soil
tary and alone would be the Brutus to plant
dagger in HE heart"
Yet this scoundrel made a speech
in Petersburg the other day denounc
ing the murder of the President in
the strongest terms.
Unblushing braggart as he is, coward
as he is well known to be, he is nov
endearing to save his property ant
life from the justice of the law.
After fastening to South Carolin.
and insisting on blood being shed tt
force Virginia into secession, ant
continuing his efforts in behalf o
the accursed institution, until all wa
lost, he comes sneaking back to hi
farm begging Gen. Schofeld to ALLOW
him the use of team of old Govern
ment mules, to put in q small crol
to sustain his worthless life. A Bru
tus indeed, is Roger A. Pryor.

R JEFF. Davis in prison at For

R JEFF. Davis in prison at For
tress Monroe, is probably more Sc
curely guarded than any criminal of
this war. It indicates the impor-
lance which the Government places
upon his being securely held, for its
future action. 1t is hardly probable
they should use such precaution un-
less they designed making his case
one of marked severity. That he
richly deserves it, is beyond ques-
ton and if he escapes the punish
ment awarded on conviction, it will
be through some superhuman a.
gency.
His cell is furnished with cot and
three chairs. He is denied the use
of knife and fork, in order to pre-
vent their use in his self destruction.
Think of it. The great President OF
a great Confederacy forced to eat
with his fingers. One officer and two
soldiers remain constantly in the cell
with him. They are locked in with
him, and of course viii prevent him
from doing himself an injury.
An officer and four private soldiers
are locked in an ante-room to that in
which Davis is confined. Davis him
