The Union admits that the Purnen Lee
gion, of Baltimore, was gotten up chiefly
through Col Purnells influence; that Pur-
nell was appointed postmaster of Baltimore
by Mr.. Lincoln; that he advocated emanci
patton in Maryland; that he did the Union
cause good service; but his great crime
seems to have been in standing by the policy
of Mr.. Lincoln and supporting President
johnson. He is, therefore, in the estimation
OF the Union, "copperhead" and unit te
hold office. Mr.. Lincoln thought him gooe
enough man for postmaster, but, like Capt
Copp, Maj. Connolly, Col. Williams, and hun
dreds of others who perilled their lives TO
their country, his services go for nothing IN
less he votes the radical ticket. This show
that the pretended love of radicals tor so
diers is a base sham-that no service reno
cred ones country. however great, is OF an
account if he don't go the radical ticket.
is party subserviency. not patriotism ths
commends a man to radical praise or save
him from radical abuse and yllifcation.

The Union is quite hippant IN applying
the word 'copperhead to the ARGUS. The
services of the ARGUS and it's editor were
freely given to sustain the government and
oppose secession, and they We're considered
of Importance enough to be frequently sollc-
tied by republicans throughout this and adj
Joining counties. And those services were
freely acknowledged, at the time, to have
been valuable We firmly and steadily sus-
tanned the policy which Mr.. Lincoln and
congress declared was the policy of the war
and sustained it to the close of the rebel
lion. They declared that the war was waged
to put down rebellion and restore the Union.
When they changed their policy, we still sus-
tanned the war; but objected to the change OF
policy. The result has shown that their
change of policy was most rulnous blunder
for the country, prolonging the war to four
times the length it would have been; de-
stroying ten times the number o. lives neces-
sary: increasing the debt and the burdens
of the people to ten times what they should
have been, and loading down the people with
heavy taxes for century.
But we do not know as it is worth while
to object to being called a 'copperhead" by
people who brought this distress upon the
country-especially when it is remembered
that, in their estimation, Mcclellan, Grant
Sherman, Meade, and thousands of living
and dead soldiers, who fought for the Union
are copperheads' also. Any man who doe
mt sustain the destructive meas ures of tn
radicals, is "copperhead.'

New Yonk, May 2s.-The New York Herald's
special says:
Secretary of the Interior Browning has recov-
cred from his illness and was at his post yester-
day He will visit his home on the 2Sth.
General Sherman has been obliged to abandon
his proposed trip TO the Mediterranean, his pres
ence ON the frontier being necessary during the
prevalence of the Indian hostihties. General
Sherman returns to Louisville to morrow.
The Herald says:
The proposed fenian raid is taking definite
shape A secret circular has been distributed to
all the circles, calling them to arms. Munitions
of war in large quantities have been taken TO-
wards the border, and secreted for use when want

| The New York Heralds Salisbury, \. C. spe-
| eial says:
| Judge Kelly spoke here yesterday and, in the
| course of his remarks, said he had been asked

| To this he would answer, that the south ltse1
should decide that. As to confscation, OF which

matter for all Mr.. Stevens said in his speech
| there was not a republican in congress who want

In conclusion, he asked them TO believe tina
this is the language he would have spoken i
Mobile had the people listened to him, and as

him using exasperating or offensive words wa
merely a creation Of the imagination.

THE INQUEST UPON THE BODY
OF MR.. CURTIS, OF
DUBUQUE.
The Cause of the Explosion Given.

We are indebted to Lucius Wells, Esq, OF
Hampton, who acted as coroner and held an
inquest on the body of Henry Curtis, at
Hampton, on the 9th inst, for perusal of
the official papers in the case, and from
which we condense the following facts:
The coroner's jury was as follows Fran
els Black, Foreman 81. Wilies Ira
Crawford, David Weigandt, Edwin Brewster,
John Mahoney, Benjamin Heavlin, Abel
Propst, James Smith, VIM. W. Propst, Orvil
S. Adams and Samuel S. Crompton.
The first witness was james Smith, who
testified to finding the body on the sand bar,
so steps from shore, brought 1t ashore, de-
livered it to the justice; had no knowledge
as to whose body it was.
Capt. H. NJ. Hughes testified that Mr.
Henry Curtis, of Dubuque, was passenger
on the Lansing, of which he was Captain, al
the time of the explosion, and he believed
the body to be that of Mr.. Curtis.
VIM. J. McNabney was acquainted with
Mr.. Henry Curtis, and positively identified
the body. @
James Conway was deck hand ON the
boat, had been acquainted with Mr.. Curtis
A or 5 years. and positively identified the
body.
F. Cammal, was mate OF the Lansing
had seen Mr.. Curtis, and had no doubt as t.
the identity of. the body. ~. .-ci.9ess
DIR. Charles H.Clerke examined the body
found both legs and right thigh fractured
also bad fracture of skull, sufficient t.
cause instant death. .-- s~as
Francis Black, Foreman of the Jury, made
the following memorandum, viz:

Capt. George W. Girdon, one of the Unit
ed States Inspectors, was sworn, butdeclmed
to testify.
John C. Bromley: I was engineer of the
steamboat Lansing, at the time of the ex-
plosion of her boilers, ON the 18th inst. The
boilers had been in use about years, and
were inspected in September, 1866. The
inspectors permit allowed me to carry l29
lbs. of steam pressure to the inch. At the
| time of the explosion, or shortly before, had
l35 lbs. by the register, but the register in
| dictated more steam than she had, from 10
| to Is lbs. more to the inch. Tried the water
guages about minutes before the explosion
they seemed to indicate the usual quantity o.
water.
The cause of the explosion, in my judg
ment, was that the boat being bow on th'
shore and fast to a tree, with her stern in tn
4
water, caused the water to run back toward
the after part of the boilers, and being he'll
up in this position by the wind, sparring on
at the stern, caused the forward part of tn
fire lines to be above water and heating yer
hot; then starting up the Doctor, when tn
/ water struck the heated part produced s
r much steam instantaneously as to explod
If the boilers.
: At the time she was carrying l35 ID
e steam hung light wrench, q to 3 Id
e weight, upon the line attached to the lever
e the safety valve-not to get more steam, D
IS to stop her foaming. Foaming is cause
a, sometimes, by dirty boilers, and sometim
S. by too much draft The boilers had BET
cleaned out the day previous to the exp
sion. We had been working full draft
steam for one-half to three-fourths OF
hour.
This was all the testimony given.
- The verdict of the jury, emitting the +
maities was as follows:
'h The said Henry Curtis came to his death
ne the explosion of the boilers of the steamboat La
ov sing, at Hampton, on the 18th instant.
The jury are of opinion, from the evidence
mt fore Them that the cause of the explosion of
ON boilers of said steamboat Lansing was, sudC
| pressure of steam, caused In part by the unit
70 position of the boat; lack Of water in the
cd ward part of the boilers; and an oversight,
nj | the part of the Engineer, in hanging wre
~ upon the lever of the safety valve near the {
IN of the explosion.
