What Copperheads Believe and say.

WASd1SG1VN, DcC. 4otA 4Oc'.
 Having travelled about Litchfeld Coun- ty more or less for few months, and fal- len into conversation with many of our citizens who consistently pin their faith upon the teachings of the Copperhead press in this state, and in most instances, honestly, too; will briefly give few items of their creed:
 1st. The Republicans have run the country into debt thirty-six thousand mil. lions of dollars.
 2d. They are keeping up Q military gov ornment at the South expressly for party purposes, and for no other, atan expense of three hundred millions Q year.
 3d. Statistics of the Freedman's s Bureau are republican lies, got up for effect, in the minds of our friends. The opinions of military commanders are ditto. The state ment of secretary McCulloch that the na- tional debt has been reduced about sixty millions since Nov. 1866, and that the whole debt was little over twenty three hundred millions last March, might be all right if they could find it in their papers
 4th. The former slayeholders of the south ought to have pay for their slaves. The northern masters sold theirs long ago and are now living on the proceeds.
 9th. The negroes cannot take care of themselves, will not work, and We have to be taxed to support the shiftless creatures; and as to their voting; 'sDo you suppose I'll ever set on jury with d-d niggere no! I'll fight first" And last but not least, vigorous copperhead vociferously shouted that s'we had come to plaguey pretty pass, when they made him equal to nigger." I tell you people ain't agoing to stand such work, and the elections begin to tell what's in the wind" These party cries bring forcibly to mind the kindred vociferations against fighting to free ne- groes; A nigger fight; bahr' Sc. &c., du- ring the war. Also how gladly these same redoubtable heroes got behind a colored closed, " .s. Is IS with the greatest astonishment that l have observed how dense is the ignoranoa oI the members of this party regarding rences of the past few years. W.

Last Friday night, the wheel-house to the Cornwall Bridge Iron Furnace took fire and burned, so as 10 necessitate stop ping the Furnace. It had been running but a short time.
 R. B. Hopkins has sold his farm to Sebra Wells of Warren.
 Perhaps in no part of the town have more evident improvements been made for few years past than on what is called Great Hill, near the Baptist meeting house, particularly by MT. James Blake. He has made thorough repairs, building new his house, barns and out-buildings. He has laid long lines of heavy stone walls, and conse- quently cleared the fields, fit for either blow or moving machine; and he no doubt finds it pays in increased productiveness and pleasure in cultivation, to do his work well. We may add that his neighbors are begging away at the same kind of labor, and will soon make that part of the town, equal to any other for farming purposes. At the annual meeting of the North Cornwall Congregational Society, it was voted to have but one service, except on Communion Sundays, besides the Sunday School in the Church each Sunday, until the 1st of April; an afternoon service alter hating between West Cornwall end Corn wall Hollow. @3

@ Our nsighbor gets considerably en- tangled, last week, with the State Sover- eighty question. The matter is simple enough: Every American citizen owes al- legiance, first, to the United States subor- dinately, to the State of his residence, Consequently, the State of Mississippi could not absolve Jefferson Davis from his superior allegiance to the United States; but she could and did absolve him from any allegiance to her own authority, when by attempted secession, rebel ion and the entire pervertion of her government to reasonable uses; she abdicated, forfeited and destroyed her own corporate powers under the Constitution. During the war no state government existed within the territorial limits of Mississippi whose au- thority any citizen could voluntarily obey without committing treason against the United States The only power that can |reorganize a State government within those territorial limits is the Congress oi the United States, which has already made provision to that end by the passage of the Reconstruction Acts.

GOSHEN.

The shares of the Washington Library Company of Philadelphia are being dispos- ed of with unexampled rapidity. The ab- scence of all concealment, the honesty of purpose manifested by those who first in augurated the enterprise, the fairness with which the proposed final distribution is 10 be conducted, aud the patriotic purpose 10 which the entire surplus fund Is to be ap- piled, have taken grm hold on the public confidence. Every share of stock will be accompanied by present at the great dis trlbution of $500, 900 worth of presents. Geo. A.

LITCHFIELD, Dec. 12 1867

LITCHFIELD, Dec. 12 1867 DEAR ENQUIRER:-We sea but little com paratively from the town of Kent in your paper. It is town of which think high
 ly and from which should like to hear
 more. made my first visit to the place
 not long ago and can testify to the beauty
 of It's scenery and to the hospitality of the
 citizens of & village whose streets are after the wide pattern of your own town, while
 its sociality and business enterprise are pe-
 culiarly it's own.
 That in summer 1t must be very pretty place 1t is not difficult to see even now that the leaves are off the trees No wonder that with its one broad, level street, bor- dered with an abundance of shade trees,
 and the snug houses almost hidden in the
 foliage, the city people flock there in warm
 weather to enjoy it's beautiful scenery and
 it's healthy air. had the honor of atten- ding one session of the North Kent Deba- ting Society. The subject for debate was this: (Which is the most pleasing to the eye; Art or Nature?' After several able ar-
 guments on each side the weight of argu-
 ment was decided to rest with the side of Art. But l think if the friends of Art had
 gone upon either side of the valley looked up and down the river they would have for
 gotten their argument, and recognized | the Sl1Oari0rity of n otura
 Besides it's remarkable mountain scenery the finest in the state. I was struck with
 the beauty of the North Kent fall where the Housatonic descends four hundred feet
 in the course of half mile. In fact Kent
 wouldn't seems to me afford, an artist more | valuable studies for landscapes than any place in the state. ...
 On Sunday We had on excellent sermon
 from tue Rev. Edward Payson who I heal
 has been since installed pastor of the par. ! ish. .... .~. l Why does not the secretary of the North
 Kent Debating Society send reports o1 their debates. They would be interesting to one, at least, of the readers of the En.

RJ On Thursday of last week Mrs. Stanton, Miss Anthony and George Francis Train, addressed an audience, at Hartford, on behalf of Woman's Suffrage. We are told that the ladies spoke most eloquently. Their remarks, however, were sandwiched between three speeches by Train, delivered in his usual "razor- or-strop" style, at the close of the last of which he nominated himself for the next presidency! What these ladies can hope to gain by exhibiting themselves in company with such an un- mitigated ass, beyond the ridicule his folly willinevitably bring upon them, We cannot imagine. If the campaign in Kansas was conducted in this style we are not surpris- ed at the result. Believing as We do in the justice of their cause, we cannot too strongly express our regret that their adyo- cacy of tis so injudiciously managed.

THE NATIONAL. RAILgoAD-525 MILES COMPLETED. A few days ago it was an nounced that "5 300 miles of the Union Pa cltic Railroad had been completed west from Omaha;" and the bare announcement was made the text for many interesting facts concerning the history of this great national enterprise, and the wonderful fa- cillty with which its construction had been carried forward. The public had scarcely begun to appreciate the fact that half 6 thousand miles of railroad had been built Tn two years into and through what had been an unten2nted waste, before the tele- graph told of the completion of the 517th mile. and the public welcome given to the locomotive by the City of Cheyenne, which two months before had no existence, but which now numbers its inhabitants by thousands This fact was also proudly commented upon as an illustration of the restless vigor with which this Railroad was being built, but while the people have been reading these congratulatory paragraphs, the tracklayers have kept steadily at work, and the last bulletin announces the com pletion of 525 miles. How much greater distance will be accomplished before this article shall be seen by our readers, We will not venture to predict.
 The whole history of the Railroad Is wonderful. It has the advantage of such liberal national aid as was never before gwen to any private undertaking; its off cers and promoters are men of national re- putation and large financial experience; the road is being built under the largest railroad contract of which we have any re- cord; the security offered its bondholders exceeds that of any similar loan, as these bonds constitute first mortgage upon the entire road, while the Government accepts second lien as its own security for alvar- ces, the amount of its business when the through line shall be completed must of necessity be enormous, and its local traffic and profits upon the portion now in ope- ration are unprecedented. We are sure that the further information concerning this National Railroad which will be found ln another column, will be read with espe- cial interest.
