BIRDS OF a FEATHKR.

The nuisance, who runs the Copperhead
machine at Fremont, unjustly charges
Bro. Redway, of the Journal, with induc-
ing us to attack an ignoramus who fills the
office of Auditor at that place. AS far as
the Messenger goes, we would not consid-
er it necessary to pay any attention to its
low slang, but it is barely possible that
some well-meaning stranger might be mis-
led with regard to Capt. Redway. We
therefore state that the editor ofthe Jour
nal never mentioned the matter of the Au-
ditor's ''murder of the Kings English,
but that it was given us some three months
since, previous to our acquaintance with
him. The editor of the Messenger feels
the pinch, although We mentioned no
names, and Judging from the appearance
of his sheet we consider the editor and au-
ditor as belonging to the same species, or
geographically and politically.-Hancock

Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1866-06-29
WHY

The Messenger and other copperhead papers
are very loud in denuuciation of all manner of
taxes for the support of the Government and
the payment of the national debt. Why are
they SO much opposed to the payment of that
debit Simply because itwas contracted in the
gigantic war against the rebellion. Since the
chief strength of their party is expected to come
from rebels, they consider repudiation of the
Union war debt an essential item in the recon
struction of the democratic platform. They
will find that the loyal masses of the country
have not only power and patriotism enough to
put down powerful rebellion in spite of its
-copperhead allies, but also honesty and natiOn-
al pride enough to pay the debt contracted in
the terrible struggle for national life.

Thirty-eight thousand dollars is the sum sP-
propriated at the present session ofCOngress for
the improvement of Ssndusky Harbor. 1t is
thought an appropriation may be secured for the
river at the next session. It would doubtless
have been voted at this session, but for the loss
of the maps of survey from the Department at
washington. We learn, however, that General
Buckland has found the maps, and confidence is
felt that an appropriation sufficient for all the
purposes Of navigation as far as this point, will
be secured at the next session of Congress.

On the 10th inst, a train of $50 wagons, with
merchandise valued at s., 100000, escorted by
l,600 Imperialists, on the way from Matamoras
to Monterey, was attacked by the Republican
General Escobedo, with, 1000 men. After a
severe fight, in which the native Mexicans Of
the Imperial force threw down their arms, but
the Austrians fought desperately, the entire
train was captured, together with 800 prisoners
and Ia pieces artillery. Gen. Olvera, the I'm

1t was thought this victory would force Maxi

prejudicial to the interests of their party. The
bill does not contemplate the establishment of a
national system of common schools, but only
the encouragement of education, mainly. by
means of the collection and publication Of stat
istics upon the subject
