AND NOW WHAT

Tie war against the great rebel
lion was prolonged at least two years
by the aid and encouragement which
treason received from the Copper
head press of the North. Had the
whole people of all the loyal States
at once coalesced in the grand re-
solve of crushing the rebellion at all
hazards the war could not have been
maintained two years This Is evident
to every candid mind. Does any one
suppose that the division in the
North, the secret plottings of Cop
perheads in behalf Of the rebels, and
the great amount of evidence afford
ed by them during The second year
of the contest, that there was likely
to be revolt In the loyal States, If
not change of policy dt the ballot
b0x-does any one suppose that all
this did not stimulate the enemy
with hope, nerve his arm to strike
bloody blows, and thus prolong a
conflict that but for this aid would
have collapsed in despair long before
it failed from sheer exhaustion? The
COppethead press was thus the
theans of infictIng upon the cGGntry
fully two thousand millions Of the
public debt, and tipon the patriotic
families of the loyal States untold
mourning and prigation on account
of the loss of tens Of thousands of
fathers, brothers, sons and husbands
who repose in soldiers graves.
And now what2 Why, this same
Copperhead press, whose hostility
to the war, whose violent denuncia-
ton Of the Administration as usur-
pers, despOts and traitors, and of the
soldiers as Lincoln hirelings," thus
making common cause with the
blood drenclIed enemies of the coun-
try-these same papers now give aid
and support to the conquered traitors
of the South in their opposition to
the policy of the eohqueror for the
proper adjustment of the causes and
consequences of the wari The Cop
perheads Of the North feel precisely
as the proud old Shareholders and
the miserable chiYalry OF the South
feel; and the latter hold out IN their
opposition to the sale method of re
construction just in the proportion
in which they see a probability in
the North of finding friends enough
to help them carry their points. AS
during the war. the organs of treason
in the South were largely filed with
Copperhesd articles, copied from
the Northern press, so now we find
the Southern press looking into the
same papers for help, and copying
largely from their columns.
How many Of the soldiers Of The
nations regeneration are willing to
rally under the banner Of such q
treaeherous party9 They did all
they could to make the soldiers infa-
nous during the war, as well as to
strengthen the arms Of the rebels to
strike terrible blows; and now they
are employing their energies to their
full capacity in attempting to rob the
country Of the peace, social order and
security which the Government has
the right; and is IN duty bound to de-
tnsnd Of Che conquered How EaaJ

sHIPwRECK of the STEAMER AT.
TANTA.
Nearly fifty persons drowned.
Only Ore Passenger and Four Sennsea sored

On Saturday, the 18th inst. the steamship
Atlanta sailed from New Orleans for New
York with a crew of thirty-fve men and
seventeen passengers On the 18th, of CAPE
Hattera., IN fearful gale. it was found
that the vessel had sprung leak. At this
alarming feature, the pumps were set TO
work, and during the entire night and all
the following DAY, Saturday, men were con-
stantiy employed by their means TO keep the
vessel from laundering. The water, never
theless, kept rising higher and higher in the
hold, until ii finally reached the furnaces
and e1tinguished the fires.
Four boats left the sinking craft, one OF
which contained three ladies. child and
other passengers. This capsized and all were
lost Two other boats, IN which were Cap
tain Williams and crew. were upset soon
after leaving the3ship. The fourth boat got on
with four persons, and II is thought they may
have reached land. In the meantime the
vessels timbers were last parting piece by
piece. The passengers and crew stood holo-
ing to whatever object they thought might be
OF service 10 them when the moment OF the
vessels sinking would arrive, and thus the
trembling, praying, weeping groups on the
deck awaited II agony the coming death.
Suddenly the vessel gave lurch, as the
sea flashing itself INTO greater fury dashed
against the groaning ship, and with noise
of parting timbers like unto the falling OF an
immense tower, she separated into a wreck
of three distinct parts and over the rem
nani OF the once gallant steamer dashed the
WAVES, roaring, as if in triumph, at the
havoc they mad accomplished. The passen-
/ gers and crew chung with the tenscity OF
despair TO whatever portions of the tmbers
/ came within their reach, but the waves
/ mercilessly tore them from their last hopes
OF existence, and but five Iersone passenger
and tour sailors, succeeded in getting
on piece Of the deck and smoking room
about thirty feet long.
On this portion OF the wreck they hoated
about from Sunday until tuesday morning,
when the bark William Z. Anderson, from
Mobile, bound 10 New York, espied them
and sent boat TO their assistance. When
they were brought on hoard OF the bark the,
were found 10 be in state Of complete ex
haustion. and their hands and limbs swollei
from the action Of the water and the eXpJsgr
they had undergone.
The Atlanta was built at Mystic, Conn.
in 1864: was considered 70 be worth $50,
600. and was insured for $4,000

Why did the Transcript leave out the lat

Here Is what he said
81 Liberty does not consist in being worthless

the question, and answer If by stating that lib

The sense in which Mr.. johnson spoke and
that which the Transcript virtually imputes
to his language, are worldwide apart The
TronscrIpt makes his language in sympathy
with feudalism and aristrocracy. Mr.. John
