HENDERsHOTT THE COPPERHEAD.

Hendershott's Ottumwa Mercury,
August IL, 1864, published the fol-
lowing, relative to the Union repulse
at Petersburg, Va:
$50 far from taking anything by
his long digging operation he met a
bloody repulsc, attemPtlngah assault
after it. Ofcourse all good ofhcers
know his NEGRO troops, whom he
tried 10 use for lack of white men,
proved worthless as soldiers, and
merely numbered the field. Sogood-
bye, Petersburg! Goodbye Rich
mond! Goodbye Grant! God be
with you all, according to your re-
spective merits. Meantime "the
raid"-is it raid? We don't know.
But our impression is, that 1t Is the adj
vance of a formidable army of vet
Grams of the Confederacy, who mean,
with Lee at their head, to take Wash
iaqton before this month is over. We
do not care to speculate further In
war news. Secretary Stanton has
ceased to send his lying dispatches
to our picayune General John A. Dix.
May God in his mercy rid as of Dir and
Stanton and their master"
When the Union blue was march
ing in solid phalanx upon the most
complete and powerful works ever
erected in America, marching up to
tho jaws of death, in the face Of a
fire that equalled the gaping jaws of
hell itself; when that gallant army,
as brave and true as flesh and blood
could be were mown down like grass
before the scythe and driven back
time and again from the rebel works,
until more than half of them lay
dead and dying on hillside and in
trench; when these things were hap
pening at the front, Coppcrhead
Hendershott was writing such things
as the above; and now, to-day, he is
bobbing around among loyal men
asking their support. His articles
would make good campaign docu-
ments on the Democratic side in Mis-
sissippi, but in Iowa they will not
win.

will be seen that the Republican
party has so reduced the percentage
of fraud that now, under Grant, it is
only 20 cent on the 1000 while un-
der Buchanan it was 1881, and even
under Washington was as high as
1922. These figures are from the
official record, and are strictly true ;
so you see it would hardly pay to
make "a change" and go back to the
last Democratic administration, where
the loss was So. 81 against the rs cents
of President Grants term. This is
the best argument that could be made
against change.

ocean of blood. If the punishment was
