UNION PRAYER MEETING.-On Saturday
last the hour between IL and o'clock, about
the time of the Inauguration ceremonies at
Washington, was noticed in this city by a
public Prayer Meeting at the Vestry OF the
Chestnut Street NJ. E. Church. The attend
ance was good, considering the bad state Of
the weathera and walking, and all denomina'
tions were represented. Rev. Mr.. Allen brief
ly stated the object Of the meeting, and invited
all to participate in the exercises, which con-
sisted of the singing of appropriate hymns of a
patriotic character, prayers and brief remarks
by several clergymen and laymen. The re-
marks and prayer of Rev. Rodman of the
Church OF the New Jerusalem were particu-
lsrly appropriate and happy. The occasion
was an interesting one, but many regretted
that it could not have been longer in duration.

COPPER ADYHCE.

The Bloomsbury Republican says: owe
learn that a number of our democratic
farmers have their crops of wheat still on
hand, having relied on the predictions Of
the columbia Denoocra" that the war
would last another four years that the
South could never be conquered ,and that
prices would still 90 up. viii they ev-
er get their eyes open to the fact that
their leaders are not to he relied upon.
This reminds US of the advice frequent
ly volunteered by our neighbor of the
Democrat, to his particular friends, in an
individual capacity. He advises them to
lay in large stock of bntter, grain, &C.,
because butter will soon be a dollar q
pound, and grain at prices altogether be-
yond the reach of common humanity, all
on account of the failure of our currency.
Notwithstanding the failure of bis pre-
dictions TO the same effect, for two years
past, he still "harps upon his daughter, "
the doleful nymph of rebel despair. 1t
has cost many poor innocent, Ignorant
democrat half his wages to follow the ad-
wise Of these copperheads. They have
taken their hard earned money and sold
it for gold, because the copperheads TOLD
them all paper money would be worthless.
Thus these traitor sympathisers have rob
bed those who placed confidence in them
| The farmers who have kept their pro
duoe for higher prices, under the false
idea that the war would continue thro
another four years, have paid the JUS
penalty Of their faith in traitors, and thei
greediDess for high prices. We know
one who has two years stock of wool OF
hand, for which he was offered a dollar a
pound, but kept it for higher war prices
His highest offer for it now is seventy
cents, and he is waiting for a rise. He
will walt until he is satisfied that he ha,
had "the wool pulled over his eyes" t.
the tune Of several hundred dollars. Tbi;

as profitable as listening to the oEigiua

Isham Harris, the ex.rebel Governor Of
Tennessee, had prudent regard to his
own interest while promoting rebellion.
Among the state archives has been found
a receipt from Brown, Brothers & CO.,
acknowledging the receipt of forty three
thousand dollars State bonds,to De applied
to Harris credit by Brown, ,Sheply & Co.,
London. A 81, 900 State bond was found
with the coupons all cut off. While urg-
ing the people of his State to the verge
of conGscation of their property, this i'm
maculate patriot was securing at their
expense snug competency abroad, in
the event of his having to leave the
United States.
