Letter from New Hartford.
New HARTFORD, BUTLER Co., Iowa,
April 18th, 1865.

Il April 18th, 1850
MIR. EDITOR :--While our country
was one scene of excitement because of
| the success Of our armies, and great cit
lies were manifesting their joy by illu-
limitations and loud hurrahs, the inhab-
!: itants Of New Hartford thought to bear
their part in the public rejoicing. Ac-
Scordingly when the news reached our
town of the taking of the rebel capital ,
Richmond, and the surrender of Lee
/ land his forces into the hands of the
Ulysses of the modern world, the patri-
sotic men assembled around the liberty
jpole and Soon sent aloft, spreading to
| the breeze, the Star Spanglcd Banner,
land many shouts of "long may it wave!'
rent the air; also cheer after cheer for
our country's brave defenders, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, went ringing
tout in clear, manly tones. In the even
ling many houses were illuminated, and
many prayers of praise and gratitude to
! God went up from glad, thankful hearts.
But, alas dl& the week closed what
la change came over the spirit of our
Idream. When the sad, terribly sad, news
Iof our chieftain's death came to us, in
istead Of smiles, tears were seen coursing
from eyes all unused to weeping. joys
Laughing morn was changed to Sorrows
darkest night while upon the faces of
some was depicted, what no doubt the
heart fully felt, rere,,yc toward the base
land cowardly performers of the deed.
Strange, passing strange, that under
the wise but mild and lenient rule of
our beloved President, there should live
Ia man so base as to rejoice over what
has thrown our nation into SO deep a
| fold of woe. A man, did say? nay,
pardon the term, for l am sure no WISH
lble mark of true manhood could be
found in the heart Of one so rike. On
saturday afternoon, while all was con-
one -, living about two
miles from town, and who has long been
marked as copperhead, was heard
while in a bar-rcom to order strong
drink with which, he said, to make
merry on. Several such expressions soon
Iaroused the ire of one Of our citizens,
|who ordered him to leave town; where
upon he drew knife, but soon foundi
that if he escaped with his life that he|
must run, for by this time quite num-
Der had gathered around, any one of
them being willing in the excited state
|of the moment to have split his blood
for the dogs of the street to have licked
|up. Though would not advocate the
|perpctration of SUCH deed, yet would
THAT all such -- might be placed where
|the blessings of Gods sweet and glori-
!ous sunlight might never cheer them
more.
[Ah, me! the laureled wreath that murder
wears,
Blood nursed and watered with the widows
tears,
Seems not so foul, so tainted, and so dead,
AS waves the nisht-shade round the Copper
head.
