Since the first hostile shot the people of
the North have had no option They
must conquer or be conquered. There
can be no middle course. / have never
been concerned about these Copperhead
gabblings. The South spurns and de-
spises this class worse than we do, and
would only accept their overtures to sub
stitute them or their lives in the cotton
and corn field for the slaves who have
escaped. do not pretend, nor haveI ever
pretended, to foresee the end of all this,
but do know that we are far from the
end of war, but l repeat that it is no Ion
ger an open question, we must fight it out.
The moment we relax, down go all our
cOnquests thus far. ! know my views on
this point have eyer been regarded as ex-
treme, even verging on to insanity, but for
years had associated with Bragg, Beau
regard and extreme Southern men, and
long before others could realize the fact
that Americans would raise their hands
against our consecrated Government /
was forced to know it and witness it. Two
years will not have been spent in vain, if
the North will now, by another magnif-
cent upheaving of the real people, again
fill the ranks of your proved and tried
regiments, and assure. them that through
good report and evil report, you will stand
by them. If Ohio will do this, and if the
great North will do this, then will our
army feel that it has country and Gov
ernment worth dying for
As to the poltroons who falter and cry
quits, let them dig and raise the food the
army needs, but they should never claim
voice IN the councils of the nation.
With sentiments of great respect.

General sherman on COpperheatIs.
The following is an extract from letter
written by Major General Sherman to Ex-
Governor Tod. 1t is dated 'In Camp be-
fore Vieksburg, March 18th, 1863" The
business part of it urges the filing up of
Ohio regiments then in the field, in order
that the armed rebels might be crushed
speedily, and the soldier very naturally
turned his attention to another class of
rebels-the Coppegheads of the North.

Childrens' Arms and Legs.

A distinguished physician, who died some
years since, iu Paris, declared; Il believe that
during the twenty years that have practised
my profession in this city, twenty Thousand
children have been carried to the cemeteries, a
sacrifice to the absurd custom of exposing
their arms naked" On this the editor of the
Philadelphia Medical and Surgical Reporter
remarks: "Pu. the bulk of thermometer iD
a baby's mouth. the mercury rises to ninety
degrees. Now carry the same TO its little
hand; If the arm be bare and the evening cool.
the mercury will sink to fifty degrees. OF
course all the blood that flows through these
arms must fall from ten to forty degrees below
the temperature of the heart. Need l say.

PHoroGRAPH OF AN EDrToR The following
photographer a copperhead editor was drawn
by a master hand-by one who is intimately
acquainted with the miserable reptile. and who
paints the dirty thing to the life. 1t is from
the pen of Judge Stone, of Tuolumne county,
who has been life long Democrat until recent
", when he renounced his allegiance to that
accursed party. Read it:
There is one article would briefly notice.
1t is Northern secessiolist. He wants an
Office, or he wants the fame of Southern cbiv-
alry-perhaps both. He desires it should
appear that he is Southern all over-fesh,
bone and muscle, in sentiment and feeling, and
sympathe8 He is sensible of the misfortune
of having been born up North, aud possibly
away down East, where they say 'keow.' but is
determined to make up in zeal for the ignominy
of his BIRTH He is one of the class that out
herod Herod. He swears by the South, eats
and drinks 10 the South and prays that, when
he dies, be may go to the sunny South, land,
if South means downward, be will be very
likely to have his prayer granted.) He plays
the toady, and lick sptte, and dirt carrier to
everything Southern; drinks to the health of
jeff Davis, and damns the flag of his country
in louder key than any of his clan-frst, be-
cause his conscience reproached him. and be
tries TO stiie it by swagger; second, to cou-
vince Southern men-who are always suspic-
ious and distrlstfu of Northern man-of his
soundness in their cause. If novelist should
apply to me to point him ont some living sub
ject combining all the elements of human
shamelessness and baseness, would at once
direct him to Northern secessionist, for
cannot conceive of any lower or meaner object.
Toward Southern secesstionist some charity
is due, for his strong sympathies with hi. peo-
pie and his kindred may well be supposed to
warp bis Judgment. But the other is recreant
to all natural ties-a vile renegade from his
people, his kindred aud the land of his birth.

The BAYoyET.-The modern sabre bayouet
is certainly the most appalling of all implements
of death, and only veterans with nerves of steel
tempered in many fiery struggle can withstand
its cold and cruel onslaught even for an instant.
Our troops are taught to rely upon it as the
grand argumentum ad homlnem by which
doubtful fields are decided, and they WELD it
more and more effectively each succeeding
campaign. OF late they have been using it
with fearful energy and corresponding success
iu carrying intreuched positions of the most
formidable character. The rebel sodiery are
brave and bold, and under fire as steady as our
own; but they don't relish the iucisive steel
Neither do they depend upon it as much as our
men do. They have more faith 10 gunpowder
and projectiles than in the silent weapon that
never misses and takes no denial. The North
ern bayonet is destined to finish up this war.

SMOKE FOR THE Cure OF WoUSDs.-A cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman recon-
mends smoke as a cure for WOUNDS in men and
animals He says:
| cut my foot with an ak. The lady of the
house, seizing the foot while it was yet bleeding
freely, held it over pan containing smoking
tsg locks In a few moments. the bleeding
was stopped and bandage applied to protect
it from accidental blows. The wound never
suppurated, and consequently never pained me-
l have seen the remedy tried in many similar
eases, and always with the same results. Let
the reader bear 10 mind that 10 liuiment or
salves, drawing or healing, should be applied.
You have merely to smoke the wound well, and
nature will do the rest. | suppose the smoke
of burning wood would produce the same re-
suits, but it wonld not be so manageable
There is principle in smoke of wool which,
when applied to the flesh, coagulates the albu-
men, thus rendering it unsusceptibe Of putre
faction. The same principle stops bleeding by
eoagelating the blood. 1t promotes healing
and may be applied with decided benefit to all
ulcers, wounds and euianeous diseases.

EDUcAr1oS.-Without knowledge, without

in ignorance, and they are ready to be made
slaves; educate them, teach them how to be
free, and DO power on earth can enslaye them.

ILLUSTRATION OF RED IAPE.-A bout fifteen
years ago, it happened, in a certain country of
Europe, that the Inspector General of Garri-
sous, while visiting provincial town, observed
q sentinel stationed at little distance, outside
the garrison, keeping guard over some ruined
building iD the suburbs. The general inquired
of the sentinel, with some curiosity why he
was posted there. The sentinel referred him
TO bis sergeant. The sergeant had nothing to
say but that such were the orders of his lieu
tenant. The lieutenant justified himself under
the authority of the captain commandant of the
garrison. Upon being applied to for his
reasons for the standing order in question, the
conmandant informed the Inspector general,
with much seriousness, that his predecessor in
office had handed down the custom to him as
one of the military duties of the place. A
search was Immediately instituted in the arch
ives of the municipality, the result of which
was to obtain satisfactory proof that, for the
last seventy years a sentinel had always stood
over the ruined buildings in the same manner
With awakened curiosity, the general returned
to the capital. He there set on foot a more
elaborate investigation among the State docu-
ments of the Secretary of War. After long
delay, it was at last discovered that the ruined
buildings of the fanbourg had been, in l720,
storehouse for mattresses belonging to the gar
rison, and that in the Summer it had become
necessary to repaint the door. While the
paint was wet. guard was placed on the out
side to warn those who went in and out bat,
before the paint was dry it came TO pass that
the officer on duty was dispatched on mission
OF Importance, and left the town without re
memberiug to remove the sentinel. For
hundred and thirty years guard of honor ha0
consequently remained over the door-a sacred
inviolable tradition, but one which represented
at the bottom no higher idea than of wet paint,

OUR CANADIAN CousIys.-An utterly erro-
oeous impression prevails in this country, says
the Syracuse Journal, ia regard to the state of
public opinion in the Canadas. 1t is generally
believed that We have very few friends on the
other side of our Northern boundary line, and
and that even these few would not shed many
tears at the dismembermeut Of the foremost
power Oh this Continent The real state Of the
case is altogether otherwise. The number Of
those who sympathize with the traitors of the
South Is far less in the British Provinces than
10 our own free States. The eminent men Of
the Colonies-the principal statesmen-are
nearly all favorable to the re establishment Of
the American Union and the abolition Of
African bondage.
