The Amnesty Oath.

Gen. Thomas, at Nashville, has issued
an order to the rebels of Tennessee and
other portions Of the Department of the
Cumberland, having cast their lot with the
Southern Confederacy, in rebellion against
the United States, and countcnanccd that
rebellion by their presence within its limits
and frequently by their active assistance
during the present war, and having recently
become convinced that all attempts to es-
tablish such Confedcracy must have proved
vain and futile, and now wishing to secure
themselves in the full possession of their
property, and all their rights of good and
loyal citizens of the United States, have re-
turned within the Federal lines and taken
the amnesty oath, at places sometimes re-
mote from their former places of residence,
and where they are not known, without
the knowledge and consent Of the Major
General commanding the Department, not,
as is believed, from love of their country or
sincere repentance for their recreancy; it
is hereby ordered,
"That all amnesty oaths administered to
any person or persons, not bona tide deser-
tiers from the rank and file of the rebel ar
my, and with the consent of the Major
General commanding, no matter where or
by whom administered, since the 10Th of
December last, are hereby revoked and
,,nl opI Void boroo fto,,
no amnesty oath administered to persons
coming or living within this Department
will be regarded or considered valid, unless
taken with the knowledge and consent OF
the Commanding General Of the same"

Gen. Robert e. Lee.

Public opinion seems TO be, in a
measure, Fighting itself as to the above
parsonage. He is not half SO great a
man as he was claimed to be two
months ago. He is a bold, defiant,
though whipped secessionist, who holds
as strong as ever to dogma, that, if
carried out, will always end in untold
bloodshed in this country and he knows
it. He and Davis were the two great
leaders in the rebellion, and by their
assent, if not positive order, our brave
men were starved to death in southern
prisons by the thousands. The Chris
tan Commission did right when they
dismissed those of their agents who
disgraced themselves and the organiza-
ton by calling on him.
In reviewing the course Of the rebel
General Lee, the New York 1ribun
says he ''is one Of the men who DELHI
ero'ely determined to betray his country
For many of his comrades there is the
excuse-such as it is-of passion or
excitement. They were carried away
by a popular frenzy--were victims, If
you please, Of the process known as
''iring the Southern heart But Lee
can plead no such apology. He saw
and felt the enormity of the crime he
was about to commit. After long re-
Fiction it was, that he decided to be-
come traitor. While meditating trea-
son he retained his commission and his
close relation to the Commanding Cen
eral of the United States armies. When
he made the plunge he made it with his
eyes open. Such man is more guilty
than any other.

Copperheads.

Who are copperheads now? Show me
the man who is willing to own that he is
copperhead. He is not to be found. How
was it four years ago? You might hear on
every street corner, Il am a copperhead."
Call me copperhead if you choose" q
am not ashamed Of the name copperhead "
And hundreds of street fights where had
in the Northern States, between exaspirated
loyal men, and southern sympathizers, while
tearing the copperhead breastpins from
their rebel neighbours bosoms. But the
record of the copperhead party is too black
and its doings too snakish and mean for any
man, laying claim to decency, to own that
he belongs to it, They now wish to be
thought good union men. They affect tc
rejoice at the success Of our arms, and to
mourn with becoming sorrow, the loss Of
our President. We verify believe thai
some Of these fellows are sorry, but theil
sorrow is mostly from the fact, that they
think President Lincoln would have beer

County Bonds.

On Wednesday the 10th inst, our peo-
pie became considerably excited on the an
nouncement being made that Darius G..
jackson. Z. S. Marshal had levied on the
personal property Of the county Of Iowa.
including the safe with its contents, and
the desks. chairs, stoves, and Office fixtures
Of the County Offices. The matter became
more alarming as it was known that con-
siderable private funds had been deposited
in the County safe. The occasion OF thls,evy
is to satisfy the claims Of some holders of
the County Bonds, they having obtained a
decision in their favor in the Cirucit Court
for the District of Wisconsin. Mr. Vivian
Immediately notified Mr. E. G. Ryan, the
lawyer having the suit in charge, of the
fact, and received The following telegram
BY telegraph from Milwaukee, May 18th.
To Francis Vivian, Mineral Point.
Money paid for redemption, belongs to
persons holding certificates. No public
fund, or property used for public purposes,
is liable to levy. Whole thing a trick OF
which | had no notice. VIII telegraph
again tomorrow. l.. Y. RYAN.
We have not been informed that any
further telegram has yet been received.
The time is rapidly passing away-the
property is advertised to be sold at three
o'clock on the afternoon Of May 3lst, and
the excitement has died down, no one tax
ing much notice Of the affair. For our
own part, we know very little about the
Bonds. We believe they were given about
fifteen years ago, to the amount of $4,000,
with the interest, which is eight per cent,
they will now amount to some over $500,
600. They were given something in the
same way as the farm mortgages, and it
was never expected that either the principal
or interest would have to be paid by the
County. The trick alluded to in Mr.. Ry-
ans dispatch, appears to be this. After
the decision of the Circuit Court in favor
of the Bond Holders, the Comfy carried
up the suits to the Supreme Court of Wis
consin, but the judges were unable to agree
and consequently it had to be carried up to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
To avoid the extra expenses, &c. of carry
ing up number OF suits, one test suit was
carried up. with the agreement that the
lesser Bond holders should abide the de-
cision of the higher court, but before that
decision has been obtained, they, doubtless
getting alarmed for their chances, have
broken faith and levied on the personal
property of the County, on the strength Of
the decision Of the lower court. How the
affair will terminate, time only will tel.
We wait further development which will
faithfully be revealed to the public.
