From our weastern correspondent.


400 noticed you we're having aSl'Seiy
time in your Congressional District as We
are here. When / was in the old sd YER
mont away down in Virginia, frequent
| " saw the word copperhead mentioned IN
tbe papcrs. but never realized what
Shiny reptiles they were till came into
this town,
Here they are crawling around nlsn'
and day trying with all their might 10
poison the minds Of whtmsoevcr they can.
4 few imbecilc souls Of they ever hau
SUCH have been bitten, aud as the reSSl'
of their tratious doings they have recelVea
netty Post offices as their Bread aud But
fer" have taken notice Of them and as
near as can judge four fifths of>all are
set of drunken vagabonds that no decent
man would associate with. Their leader
goes by the name of e G.. Wright who
practices law in this P ace---a southernor

choice beginning at tie foot OF his hcllish

a more suitable workman than this same

traitors A. II Stephans, jeff Davis and
that brainlcss bull dog A. johnson. god
When our boys were bqmtarding Vicks-
burg Atlanta and Richmond this imp Of
darkness was travelling in Missouri, Iowa
and Kansas organizing Knights of the
Golden Circle, When this war closed he
kept quiet for awhile bat as soon as Lin
coin was assa5sinated he called together
nearly all his followers aud went to the
Brewery about II of milo from town
and made themselves most glotiouSly
thuUb on the occasion. Such is bret
description OF the leader of the sympa-
tEizcrs Of "hIy Policy" and A. johnson.
And nearly all Of those who arc advised
by hun. You would lind them ia Canada
from the time the draft eommlncod till
the close of the war.
DO you wonder then that it makes our
blood BOIL to SEQ such mun stumppg the
Coauty to get votes for office, tell you
we are having a lively time this fall
Sometimes cant help thinking that
the Mighty Ruler of the universe is not
dealing justly with us to permit such men
to breathe the air of freedom, purified as
it is by the blood of nearly 100000 Of
our noble dead, in short to allow them to
stencil this glorious country with their
vile breath, But His ways arc not our
