The following extract from recent
editorial in the Crawfordville Reriea0,
viii show the spirit and feeling that
pervades the Copperheads of Mont
gomery county:
s.The dayis coming when the word
loyalty, if indeed that day has al
ready arrived, will be stencil in the
nostrils of every honest man. Under
cover of that senseless cloak there
have been more crimes enacted-more
murders committed-more robberies
perpetrated-more swindles concocted
more villainous lies told-mofe out
RACES done-more women wronged-
more homes made desolate-m
families impoyerished-more children
robbed-more suffering entailed and
more damnable disgrace inflicted on
the people than would be the means
of peopling pandemoniuln forever.
Patriotism and loyaltyl' Virtue and
common prostitution In the coming
years the name of traitors will sound
better than that of loyalists,' while
rebel will shine like the MONDAY
sun in comparison to the word which
has been so abused by the wicked,
selfish and unprincipled who have
robbed their foes and insulted and
wronged their friends ss-

gravel is not in its native bed, but has
drifted down from above, and all the
sharp angles belonging to it in its
primitive condition have been. worn
off by the friction encountered as it
rolled along down the river. Many
wells have been dug in this city 10 the
depth of fifty feet or more, and no
gravel found, and all the ground on the
opposite side of the river and above
the city is alluvial, and does not con-
tain. gravel suitable for a filter for
water. 1t is altogether different at
CovIngton and Cincinnati.
Therefore, it would be we'll to ex-
pend some $500 in prospecting for
gravel, before entering into contract
for Water Works upon Mr.. Jeffrey's
plan. The high ground below the

of whatever lands other property they have
had the capital to purchase, and among the
most successful men, as we'll in planting as in

fresh from the North, and many of them fresh

AN UNNATURAL REQUIREMENT

The demand of tho extremists Of the Radical
party-that the Southern people shall manifest
no sorrow for their own dead-is one Of the
most extraordinary that the mnddest fanaticism
ever made. If tho people Of the South weep
over the remains Of their own flesh and blood,
if they contribute their humble means and
efforts to afford them the rites of decent sepul-
ture, they arc denounced as deficient in loyalty
and traitors 10 their country! Was ever such
extravaganza Of tyranny heard OF? Can they
suppose it psssible that human nature in tho
South is 30 different from human nature in the
North, and human nature everywhere else, that
il can look with oomposure upon the graves OF
kindred and friends, md treat them with n
neglect and Indifference unknown to barbara
ans? What would they make of the Southern
people but tho vilost hypocrites on the face of
the earth, when thoy would compel them to
shed no tears over the memory of their dead
sons and brothers? Would such people be
worth reconsructing? Would any decent des-
pot have such recrcants to humanity for his
slaves?

General BUTLEn dio not appear as amiablc as
usual in New York. He addressed his auditors
as-"a band of thieves with their arms deem in
the public plunder-poor hirelngs, doing their
masters bidding-thieves and frequenters of
the Tombs-poor fools;' told them he had
chung their betters, and he expected the plea
sure Of seeing them hung" After this he said
he was not a president or vioo-preeident; he
would not play the blackguard Itrue, there was
no ''play" about III and go into any discussion
with on angry crowd. 1t is surprising that this
soothing tone of speech did not quiet those ad-
dressed; but, notwithstanding all the Generals
blandness, and "his impressive manner" the
anger Of the crowd was not softened BY the
gentle and familiar epithots applied to the null
titude by the speaker, and so the General, as
usual, gave up the battle without victory.
Such scenes are lamentable and uniustifably
disgraceful to parties provoking md 10 those
perpetrating them; but if what was said of the
crowd be true. perhaps the old saw, "that two
of trade can never agree" may afford an cx-
PLANTATION Of the row.

THE RADICALS try TO defend the conduct Of
the expelled Police Commissioners of Baltimore
by saying that Governor SWAMI is o candidate
for tho United States Senate, and makes re-
movnls for his own benefit. But even were
their allegation both pertinent and true, they
should not be allowed TO make it until they
have first disposed of the case of their own
Governor FLErcHER, Of Missouri. BE has ap-
pointed Judges of the Courts not single su-
perVisor received his appointment without
pledging himself to put in Registrars who will
see to it that none but "loyal" voters-that is,
Radicals-are allowed to come near the polls.
This is notorious in Missouri, and has been this
long time. 1t is equally notorious, too, that
FLETCHER is q candidate for the United States
Senate. According TO the Radical judgment,
then, FLETCHER may put in and turn out what
ever will help his case, but Governor SWAIN
may not! Their theory of loyalty is after pre-
cisely the same pattern.
