A SINGULAR AFFAIR-A YoUSo WOMAN
LOCKED UP IN CHURCH FOR THREE DAYS.
Yesterday morning (says the Brooklyn
Eagle) an advertisement was brought to
this office, asking for information of the
whereabouts Of a young lady who had
been missing since Sunday afternoon, and
Of whom no trace could be found, and
whose absence had caused deep distress
among her relatives. In the afternoon,
Just before the Eagle went to press, a gen.
tleman came in to stop-the publication Of
the advertisement, stating that the missing
lady had been found, and he related the
following singular story: The young
lady went on Sunday afternoon to the
Presbyterian Church, corner Of Atlantic
and Bond streets ; after the Sunday School
exercises she went to her seat in the GAL
lery. The minister having to leave town
to attend the Synod, no service was held
in the afternoon, and the sexton supposing
the congregation had retired, closed up
the church, locking the young lady in the
building all alone. She says she tried to
get out, but the doors resisted her efforts
to force them open, the windows were
besond her reach, and she was unable to
make herself heard outside. Here she re-
manned a close prisoner in the church
until Wednesday afternoon, when the
sexton went in to prepare the place for the
usual evening prayer meeting, and discov-
cred the missing lady, who was in a very
exhausted state for want of food, having
been fasting in solitary confinement for
seventy hours.

TuRrR TALx.-The Copperhesds go to
Carson and assert that they are sure to
carry this county BY about 365 majority.
They report hereabouts that they will
"play off" their county ticket for the
purpose Of securing a majority for Mr..
Mitchell. (rhis is precious good talk for
their county candidates, and for Clark and
Hermann, who contributed $1,000 each
to the election fund, in the hope Of pre-
venting, by a Democratic legislative dele
CATION, the reduction of the enormous fees
they now receive.) Then, elsewhere, they
say they will "play off" Mr.. Mitchell
for their county ticket, which We suspect
is the most probable dodge Of their actu-
ally purposed adoption. They claim 100
majority in the first ward, Virginia City !;
20 in the second ward, 10 in the third
ward, 25 in the fourth ward, and they ex-
press their entire confidence in at least
an "even thing" in Gold Hill. We are
willing to concede to them a majority Of
the registered voters in Red Mountain !!
All these brags being taken into due con-
sideration. it is a little remarkable that
they do not have to wait for second calls
on wager funds. Brag away, Snakes.

A

Such must be considered the nomination
Of Frank Tilford; such must that nominal
ton by the Copperheads be held to be by
the sober portion Of the secesh party. A
man-if man he must be called-whose
drunken rawlings have hardly lost their
echoes in localities distracted thereby, is
put up as a candidate for State Senator,
by the Copperheads of Storey county.
The nam Of this bloated blatherskite
printed at the head of the ticket Of DE
mocracy" constitutes just as great an in
suit as it is possible for such a party Us
the Copperheads compose to houk in the
face of the public.

ENTIRE pEBrn--ANorHER
WAR.

This is what the penniless bummers
who assembled at Carson City, in the
name Of Democracy" undertook to say
they were in favor of paying. That. by
this, they meant to say they are in favor
of saddling upon the country the rebel as
well as the National debt there can be no
doubt or question. Such is the plain in
depreciation of the language; and being
charged with such meaning for their plat
form they have not denied it, or in any
manner qualified the truth Of the ac-
cusation.
We are induced by the conduct Of the
Nevada Democracy" and the action OF
the secesh in the South, to believe that
they mediate another rebellion to be
speedily brought forth under the follow
ing circumstances The Confederate
Loan" is principally, almost wholly held
in England and France or by English and
French bankers in America. Now, by
organizing on the basis of National obi.
CATION to pay the entire debt" they in
vi,e England and France to say, PAY
our subjects their dues, or bang goes our
cannon at you" Then intervention"
will be brought about at the start and as
the starters of a new and more tremendous
rebellion by Crapeau and Bull. The
States" of the South seem to be
posted on this proposition, and not
now as formerly do they propose to
assume even their own State" indebted
ness, of secesh mourning. 1t is not that
they refuse to acknowledge and accept the
rebel debt-which act we commend, of
course-but It is IN account Of their
original intention and inclination Of ac-
ton to accept it, and their sudden turn in
the opposite direction,-this it is that
lends strength to the suspicion that they
are posted parties to this scheme.
Hence the Importance of this election Of
Union Congressman. And hence the ex-
cellent wisdom displayed by the Admin
istra,ion in fostering and directly aiding
the Fenian brotherhood, in their prcpara-
ton for r~etribu,ive action on Great
Britain.
Citizens: if you do no desire another
rebellion, which will be aided by England
and France combined, you should do all in
your opportunity to keep the Union party
in power, and in power with strong ma
~jorities for its elected officers support.
The leading Copperheads, who controll-
ed the Nevada Democracy" are glad Of
peace (without thanks to God or to Union
soldiers therefor) because it gives them
time to reorganize for reasonable work, on
a different and more formidable scale.
They hate our Union, and are determined
to compass its overthrow, if possible.

"GooD-BY, OLD ARM."-In a hospital
at Nashville, o short time ago, a wounded
hero was lying on the amputating table,
under the influence Of chloroform. They
cut off his strong right arm and cast it, all
bleeding, upon the pile Of human limbs.
They then laid him gently upon his couch.
He woke from his stupor and missed his
arm. With his left arm he lifted the cloth,
and there was nothing but the CORY stump /!
" Where's my arm ;" he cried +; "get my
arm I want to see it once more-my
strong right arm" They brought 1t to
him. He took hold Of the cold, clammy
fingers, and, looking steadfastly at the
poor dead member, thus addressed it with
fearful earnestness: "Good-by, old arm.
We have been a long time together. We
must part now. Good-by, old arm.
You II never fire another carbine nor
swing another saber for the Government"
and the tears rolled down his cheeks.

The WAR IN South AMERIcA.-Our
advices from the seat of wal between Par
aguay and the allies. in South America
indicate that the little Republic is likely
soon to be crushed by its ponderous OPP
ponents. A battle had been fought in
which the Paraguayan army lost very
heavily, including seventeen hundred pris-
oners, canon, colors, SC. This reverse Is
regarded as decisive check to the ad-
vance Of Paraguay into the Argentine ter
ri,ory, and as both Brazil and the Argen-
tine Republic have now large armies in
the field. the probability is that the tide
Of war will hencefor,h flow against Para
quay. The plucky little State which
with a population less than that OF New
York City, threw down the gauntlet OF
war to an enemy comprising nearly half
the territory Of South America, will de-
serve credit for its daring, even if it should
he oyerpowered.

Andy Johnson recently and directly
authorized the suppression of the Rich
mond CVa.) Bulletin. We understand the
Flop Tod to say that Andy has turned
traitor to the Union party, to the policy
of Government that party favored, fought
for, re-ob,ained, desire to perpetuate-the
Government policy of our fathers. And
the Copperheads now sustain President
Johnson: What is the reason, then, that
such good and true Democratic papers as
the Richmond Bulletin is squelched, and
seven Democrats recently arrested for
reason, in New York City, are committed
under Andy's special anti-habea, corpus
command: Horace Greeley is to-day more
of a democrat" than Andy Johnson /;
cause Horace wants jeff. loosed from
prison; but Andy won't let him 60.
Horace wanted Mrs. Surratt, the great
"Arn Lee" of the Shaker Democracy,
p~ardoned. Andy suspended the habeaS
corpus writ that she might be suspended.
And so this great shell Democrat - or
Democrat" pure and simple-fell, drop
ped, was herself suspended. Guess Andy
will do pretty we'll: if he is Slandered by
ludicrous assertions Of Democratic" in
clinations on his part. The Coppcrheads
seek to torture his language occasionally,
SO a, to make it appear that he in some
slight shadow of thought or disposition is
with them ; but there is not an Gdminis-
act of his that they endorse. Not
And they hate him, because his
administrative curse is bringing all the
into the Union ranks. That i, bad
the Copperheads.

LOOK AT THIS FOR A CoMPoRT.-Pro-
~visional Governor Marvin, of Florida, a
Southern man, but q true Unionist, says
in a recent speech:
FLORIDA has been a State in rebellion,
and by her acts, has destroyed her State
Government, and particularly the institu-
ton of slavery, which was nursed in its
bosom and defended by it. She is now
held by martial law, in a state Of tutilage,
with her political rights in allegiance, and
will be kept there until she organizes for
herself. on a new basis, a new govern
ment."
How do the Cops like this style of talk
Reckon they couldn't affiliate with Brother
Marvin, in the Church South. Such men
as Marvin Of Florida, and Hamilton OF
Texas, are Of the character Of those who
must be placed and kept in Provisional
power-until the Southern masses are OF
their way Of thinking.

Our delegation, last Winter, were ever
ready to aid the Department; and they
