“ Copperheads.”
We do not believe in calling names, and
whenever we use the significant term “Cop-
perhead" we do not mean that its significance
bears upon every man who choscs to style
himself a democrat, or who has hitherto act—
ed with that party. God forbid. We know
' men right here in Norwalh', whom 'we have

hostility to the Government, We have the
charity to believe that most, if not all the
democracy hereahouts exceedingly regret the
attitude of their party, and that Thomas H-
Seymour is its chief standard—bearer. Their
political sagacities would thus move very
many, were all sentiments of loyalty extinct.
Nevertheless, there are those here as else—
where, who are lost to every other emotion
than that which will secure a partizan ascen—
dency. Men who have neither property or
reputation at stake, who care not for them—
selves, their fellows, their children, or the
glory which shall gleam across this Western
‘ Continent and irradiate this Free Govern-
ment of our. These are the men who heart-
ily endorse Thos. H. Seymour’s traitorous
positions, and these are the men that we and
all posterity will style “Copperheads.”

Union Meeting in Norwalk.
One of the largest and most deeply inter-
ested audiences cODVened here this season,
assembled at Lockwood’s Hall 'on Saturday
evening, to listen to a Union plea from Mr.
F. Montgomery, of the Vicksburg Whig.
The Winslow Band were on hand and dis-
coursed patriotic airs between the intervals
of speaking. Mr. Guthrie first took the
platform in vindication of the Union cause,
and also of himself, inasmuch as a story had
been industriously circulated that. he had
gone over to the Seymour democracy. He
said that so far un'true was such a statement,
that he had already given one son to the
Union army, was willing to give them all,
and if need he, go and die with them on the
battle field to save this noble government;
Mr.Guthrie was followed by Mr. Montgom-
ery, who in colloquial style, and with all the
intonations and idioms of the South Western
men, gave a plain, unvarnished detail of his
personal experience in rebeldom. His dis-
course was replete with sallies of wit, and
the most touching pathos. As a slaveholder,
be pronounced the institution the “supply
train’? of the rebels, and thought the Presi-
dent was “Constitutionally” justified in cup
turing this train. As a life-long democrat,
he denounced in the severest terms, those
here at the North, who, recreant to them-
selves, to patriotism and their demolratic
Union brethren at the South, would willingly
'do' hught to aid and comfort those masters
‘of cruelty and iniquity, who were hunting
every lover of the old Flag as if he were a
wild beast to be destroyed. As one who had
escaped the worse than barbarian despotism
of the Southern Confederacy, he implored
all men to cast aside party considerations,
and stand united as one man for the crushing
out Of the rebellion; asserting, that for the
hope and prospect that the North was about
to be divided, the rebellion would have al—
ready exploded. That the only way to secure
an immediate peace was to stand united and
firmly by the Government in the prose—
cution of the most vigorous measures for its
utter overthrow. '
His simple, unadorned narrative of the
escape of himself and family, was most pa—
thetic, and could not have failed to touch the
heart of the most bitter Copperhead in the
land. Mr. M. will not be likely to captivate
many by the chaste and classic elegance of
his manners or diction; nevertheless, in his
true character of a free and easy Southerner,
who knows and deeply feels all that he por—
trays of the withering, blasting curse of this
rebellion, his unaffected story will touch
many aheart, and moisten many an eye, and
if we mistake not, induce many good and
fine men Dow wavering perhaps, to stand
more firmly for the right, and to hold out
the promise of speedy success and rescue to
such noble, suffering Union men as he. We
hope he may be heard in every town in New
England.

If the party who are doing their utmost to
help this awful Slave-holder’s Rebellion,
would come forth undisguised, and under the
true and appropriate name of Traitors, they
would be capable of much less mischief.
The people would know and shun them as
Monsters. Government would arrest them—
little children would point at them—and all
patriots would scorn their society.
But they assume the name 'of “ Loyalists;"
they call themselves “ Denwcrats;” they
plume themselves as “Peace hIen,” “Conserva-

The Gold Panic.

will work down with it. But all those who
wish to increase the price of living, diminish
the prospects of work, deprceiate the value of
every dollar of paper money, and destroy
this glorious Government, will work unceas—
ingly with the “ Copperheads,” and if they
win, all is accomplished.

The above is a favorite mofto with the
men who seek an ignoble peace. “The
Union as it was." This can never be. We
have been swept past the point in our his-
tory where this is possible. The rebellion has
made it impossible.
The Slave power can never recover its'posi-
tion again in this Nation. 'Of set purpose,
of malice aforethought with premeditated in-
tention, it has sought to tear down this
mighty Nation, trail its glorious Flag in the
dust, usurp its authority, possess its Capital
subdue its freemen, crush its energy, humble
its pride, and tarnish its honor. Failing in
this, it is willing, like poor old blind
Sampson, now to move its pillars, and pull
down the entire fabric upon its own head;
if so it can only destroy the Nation at the
same time.
But it will not be. The Nation will live
when the slave power is dead. Even now
it is heaving with its own death throes. But
the Nation is still strong. Free Men—Free
Labor—Free Soil, will be our glorious inher-
itance, and the talismanic watch-word by
which the Nation shall yet vindicate its au-
thority, and justify its renewed existence
before the civilized World. Then move on
the grand column for the Constitution and
the Union, as it will be.

is washed, the more brilliant will the colors
shine. The “Shakers,” and the “ Masquer—

pleasantly, and the ladies may well feel proud

GENERAL M'CLERNAND’S LETTER.
Barons Vrcxsaunc, Feb. 22, 1863.
Hon. JOHN VAN BUREN :—
An extract from your late speech has just
come under my notice. It has the clear
old democratic ring, and contrasts so strik—
ingly with the spurious emanations of latter
day democratic impostors that 1 cannot for-
bear to hail it. It reminds me of the better
days of the democratic party, when, under
the inspirations of Jackson and your father,
its boasted watchword was: “The Union
must be preserved.” Responsively to that
sentiment, I upheld the arms of both of those
magistrates to the extent of my ability and
at the sacrifice of home and its cndearments,
and am now bearing arms, amidst disease
and death, against an armed enemy who
would desecrate it. ‘ .
Northern peaeemongers, who would dis—
armistice in the face of a rebellious and de—
fiant enemy, but add pusillanimity to treach-
ery, and truly. as you energetically say, “will
be carried away,” if not by “the torrent"
of public opinion, eventually by force of
arms. Your obedient servant,
JOHN A. MCULERNAND.

Chop Logic for Copperheads.
.You are crying “Peace, Peace,” where there
neither is, nor can be peace, except on terms
alike dishonorable to the Nation, and disgrace-
ful to yourselves.
You are dividing the great North, which
ought to be a unit thereby weakening and
adding to the difficulties of the Government
that is exerting itself to save the honor of
the Nation and put down this internal rebel'
lion. In doing this, you are doing just what
Jcfl“. Davis and his minions desire you to do.
You had better by far, take the more honor-
able course of directly joining the ranks of
~the foe, and take up arms against your own
Country, in the field.
Your opposition to the Government here,
is of the nature of Treason, inasmuch as it
holds out the strongest inducement for the
rebels at the South to persevere, thus “ giv—
ing them aid and comfort ;” and this the Con-
stitution declares to be 1 reason.
The blows you sirike are aimed, not only
at thelifc of the Nation, but at the lives of
our brethren in the Army. By infusing new
life and courage into this rebellion, you nee!
usarily expose the lives of the National
Army in the field. And thus you make it
necessary for the Government to ke addi-
tional drafts from among your own sons and . _
, Union, he was not prepared to answer.
brothers.
The course you pursue is adding to the
expenses of the' Government by prolonging
the War, and thus increasing taxation among
the people. ,
You are inciting the people to open resist-
ance to the National authority, which if per-
sisted in and consumatcd, will make little
Connecticut as despotic as Virginia, with the
fearful scourge of civil strife. And you
ought to know, and many of you do know
that the National authority must and will be
maintained, though our little State should
become a 'vast charnal house, and the bones
of her sons bleaching On all her hills. Stop !
we pray you, this damnable Treason. Loyal
Southern Men implore you to stop. Your
own sons and brothers in thearmy implore you
to stop. Yonr own honor, your self respect,
your good name in history are involved. The
future Welfare of unborn millions, whose in-
terests are bound up in the future welfare of
this nation, all plead with voices of burning
eloquence—Stop this Treason. Already we
are too familiar with blood and carnage.
Bring not the curse of your Children, of' Pos-
terity upon your treasouable memory. Save
your children in after years from the shame,
from the reproach, from the mortification
which the memory of such deeds must nec-
essarily inspire. Wheel into line and help
save the Nation.

‘YIRGINIA," March 9th, 1863, l
The following preamble and resolu-
tions Were read at roll call to the mem-
bers of the Battery. and, upon motion,
ware unanimously adopte '
WHEREAS, efforts are being made through-
out the State of Connecticut to influ-
ence public sentiment, upon the eve of
an important election, in favor of a
. suspension of hostilities against rebels
in arms against the Federal authority ;
and, Whereas, we believe all such efforts
tend to prolong the contest, to embar-
rass the gOVerument, and to encourage
the rebels to persist in their unholy at-
tempts to destroy the Union ; and
Whereas, we are denied the opportunity
of expressing at the ballot-box our sen-
timents upon questions at issue—
Therefore.
Resolved, That we indignautly denounce
as sympathizers with secession, and as
aiders and abettors of treason, all who
are opposed to a vigerous prosecution of
the war against armed traitors, any who
are in favor of any compromise, or peace
upon any terms, other than an uncondi-
tional surrender of the rebels to the au-
thority of the Constitution of the United
States.
Resolved, That we have entire confi-
dence in the resources of a loyal people,
and in the ability of the Government to
secure the ultimate triumph of our arms;
and that we favor the law recently passed
by Congress, placing at the disposal of
the President of the United States its
entire available military force for the sup-
pression of_ the rebellion. '
Resolved, That we, who have pledged
our lives for the Union, are ready to
meet, in deadly strife, traitors to the old
flag, whether in front or rear, and that
we declare ourselves unalterably opposed
to any cessation of hostilities until every
rebel in the land is ready to acknowledge
the unity and indivisibility cf the Ameri-
can Republic.

Resolutions of the Nineteenth
Regiment Connecticut Volun-
teers. .
IN CAMP NEAR FORT WORTH Via,
MARCH 9, 1863.
Whereas we have noticed receutly, in
different sections of our country, move-
ments tending to inaugurate more active
opposition to the efi'orts of the National
Government for the overthrow of this re-
bellion, and intended for the tacit encour-
agement of traitors both in the seceded
and free States ; and believing such move—
ments to be subversive of good govern-
ment and unworthy of the support of
honest citizens : therefore.
Resolved That for us, the civil and re-
ligious institutions, guaranteed by the con-
stitution of the United States, are living
realities, the efficacy and permanency of
which depend upon the preservation of
the Union and the Constitution.
Resolved, That it is the duty of those
who enjoy the blessings of our system of
free government. ever to be ready to main-
tain and preserve it in the same spirit
with which it was established by our Revo-
lutionary fathers : that as they did not
ask themselves how long it would take to
obtain our independence as a nation, nor
how much blood and treasure would be
necessary to secure the blessings of a
more perfect Union, so we, of the present
generation, ought not to count the years,
nor estimate the blood and treasure which
it may cost. to overthrow this rebellion,
but should be willing to give the last dol-
lar and the last man, if needed, for the
life of the nation and the preservation of
the blessings it has vouchsafed to'us.
Resolved, That no honorable alterna-
tive remains to the National Government
but to crush out this rebellion or to sur-
render its sovereignty. That to admit
the right Of secession is virtually to ack-
nowledge that a State, or a given num-
ber of States may dissolve the Union,
and to yield to the demands of the sece~
ded States, without admitting the will:
of secession is an admission of the ina-
bility of the Government to maingain its
authority ; hence, the nation mdst con-
quer in this contest or abandon its sov-
ereignty as a united people, while the
overthrow of the rebellion will give a
moral and political elevation to the spirit
of American loyalty never before attained
Resolved, That we, as soldiers, are will-
ing to endure privations, sufferings, and
absence from home and loved ones there,
so long as may be necessary to put down
this rebellion.
Resolved, That the law for the enroll-
ment of the national forces meets with
our approbation, because it is calculated
to secure blessings worthy of freemen and
of soldiers. That every citizen of the
United States owes allegiance to the Na-
tional Government, and that those who
administer the Government are the con-
constitntional representatives, for a speci.
fied period, of the people as a nation 5
and that if able-bodied men, not justly
exempts from the military service of the
Government, are so base a to refuse their
support to the Government, when called
for under the authority of the supreme
law of the land, we shall be ready to
meet their resistance, at the point of the
bayonet.
Resolved, That as citizens and soldiers
we esteem it a privilege to be permitted
to join hands with the noble patriots of
1776, in our efforts, in our danger, and
in our sacrifices for. the principles and
forms of free Government they supposed
they had settled upon firm foundations
for all time, and that we can never favor
a dishonorable peace, submission to the
demands of armed traitors, nor consent
to a dissolution of the Union of these
United States.
Resolved, That We will keep guard
around the watch fires of the Union and
the Constitution, encouraged by the glo-
ries of the past, and the solemn responsi-
bilities of the present and the future, ev-
er ready to strike the perjured traitors of
our own land, or do our duty against any
foreign foe who may interfere in our do-
mestic affairs.

YAZOO CITY CAPTURE”.
emcmmx, Saturday, Mal-ca, .14, 1863
The Gazette has a Memphis dispatch
which says that a report was in circula-
tion that Admiral Porter had received
information that the Yazool Pass expedi-
tion had captured Yazoo City, and des'
troyed the Rebel fleet.
[Among the vessels probably destroyed
up the Yazoo, were such powerful craft
as the Magenta, Mary Kean, Natchez,
Magnolia, and other firstvclass boats,
with the California steamer Star of the
West. Yazoo City is a village of 3,000
Inhabitants, in Yazoo' County, Miss, on
the Yazoo River, about 50 miles north-
west of the State Capital. Located in
the heart of the cotton region, it used to
ship to Ncw«0rleans 50,000 bales of cot-
ton per annum.)

Twenty-six Rebel Steamboats Gap-
tured. O
CINCINNATI, Monday, March 16.
The Gazette’s Vicksburg dispatch says
.the Yazoo Pass expedition has captured
twenty-six steamboats, eighteen of which
were destroyed. The gunboats have ar-
rived abovc Hnines’ Bluff, and would soon
commence the attack.
Rumors were rife of the evacuation of
Vicksburg, and it. was supposed that the
Eat? part of the rebel force would go
to Chattanooga and endeavor to over-
whelm Gen. Rosecrans.
General McClernaud’s troops were
compelled to embark for Milikeu’s Bend,
sixteen miles above Vicksburg, owing to
high water.
Recent operations at Lake Providence
and elsewhere, resulted in inundating
more than one hundred miles of Louisiana
territory, destroying millions of dollars
Worth of property. ‘

From General Hooker’s Army.
There are symptoms of a coming move-
ment in General Hooker’s army. The
transportation resources have been cut
down, and officers are notified that all su-
perfluous baggage must be sent home.
Everything now looks favorable for a
forward movement.

Captain Taylor.
The funeral of this estimable young
officer (a son of Rev. Horace Taylor, of
Clarendon, Ohio,)is to take place to-mor—
row afternoon, from his mother’s resi-
dence, No. 92 Grove street. Captain
Taylor was formerly connected with Ms.-
j r General Russel’s Commercial Insti-
te, and had command of a battallion.
He was greatly beloved and respected by
his instructors and all his fellow-pupils.
He raised the "Monitors,” of this city,
and his military skill soon made them a
most excellent corps, and his kindly quali-
ties endeared him to the hearts of his
command. Captain Taylor was woun-
ded at the attack on Fredericksburg, and
returned to his home to die. Arrange-
ments are being made for a military es-
cort for his funeral.
The funeral ceremonies at the house
will be at half-past two o’clock, and from
thence the body will be taken to the Howa
Street Church.

IQ.- Details of the destruction of the
pirate “Nashville” are recieved. She lay
in the Ogeechee river out of the reach of
our gunboats, but on the 27th of Febu-
ary, emboldened by the resistance of
Fort McAllistcr to the “Montauk,” and
taking advantage of the fog, she attemp-
ted to run out. She got aground near
the Fort, and was discovered by Cap-
tain Worden of the “Montauk,” which
moved up close to the obstructions and
got within 1200 yards of his prey. He
went right up in face of a hot fire from
the fort, got the range after two shots,
and soon put shells into the “Nashville,”
and it exploded and burned up.

New 'I‘IcRRIToatss.-—-The late session
of Congress passed bills organizing two
new territories—~ one in Arizona, the
other Idaho. This new territory includes
the Salmon river and Snake river gold
mines. Its area is 179,770 square miles
and its population numbers about 11,000
for the most part miners. A steamboat
is being built on the Missouri, above
Fort Benton to navigate the river above
the falls. This will secure navigation to
within sixty or seventy miles of the east-
ern mines But in due time railroads will
connect this territory with the States.
The bills to admit Nevada and Colorado
as States passed the Senate; but the
House refused to suspend the rules to
take action upon them. The bills there-
fore dropped to the ground together with
the bill for Nebraska, which want of
time did not permit to pass through the
Senate. At the next session, however,
all these territories will probably be ad-
mitted .
FATAL AccruaNT.—~—Richard Scoficld, a
young man employed at the Cove Mills
was instantly killed by the bursting ofa
grindstone in that factory on Saturday

its usual velocity. Mr. Scofield was 28
years of age, and leaves a wife and two
chidreu to mourn his loss. He was a na-
tive of Pound Ridge, where his parents
now reside. He was uniVersally esteem-

Resolued, That it is the duty of every
American citizen to stand by and uphold
the government of the country in all its
efforts to suppress the gigantic rebellion
which is now waged to subvert institu-
tions which have been bequeathed to us‘
by our fathers and erect instead an aris-
tocracy at war with all constitutional
liberty and the just rights of a free people.
Resolved, That. we will use all just and
proper means to defeat all the machina-
tions of the enemies of our country, who
to this the hour of her peril, would bring
dishonor and disgrace upon our glorious
flag, by advocating a peace, which can
only end in submission to armed traitors
and a dismemberment of our time honor-
ed Union.
Resolved, That we view with senti-
ments of loathing and contempt the reso-
lutions of the so called Democratic COn-
vention recently holden at Hartford and
declare them to be traitorons in their
sentiments revolutionary in their tenden-
cies and a disgrace to the party which.
adopted them and the men who support
them, and we call upon all loyal men
without distinction of party to rally at
the polls and enter their most emphatic
condemnation against them.
Resolved, That We cordially adOpt the
platform of principles recently enuncia-
ted by the Union State and Congression-
al Conventions and wnll give it and to the
candidates nominated by those Conven-
tions, our hearty and united support.
Resolved, that we have full confidence
in the ability, fidelity and integrity of
Hon. Samuel S. St. John as a firm and
uncompromising Union man, at all times
under all circumstances, and most cheer-
fully recommend bim as qualified to dis-
charge the duties of the office of Sena-
tor, for which we have this day presen-
ted him to the sufi'rages of the electors of
the District. ‘

“Some Other Way.”
Will the Hon. Thomas H. Seymour
explain what he means by resisting the
administration “ BY SOME OTHER
WAY ” than the ballot-box ? The peb-
plc want to know if he is threatening
civil war. The resolutions of the cop-
per head convention were full of hostility
to the federal gOVerument. If Seymour
does not mean civil war by his“some
other way,” what does he mean ?

n- A New York correspondent of
the Hartford Press thus pointedly states
the issue in our election campaign :
“ As the case stands, it can’t be claim-
ed to be a " choice between hell and dam-
nation," as the western militant Church
man had/it. The patriots now ask sup-
port in upholding the national honor and
unity, and human and divine jastice, on
one hand. On the other, brassy Bill Ea-
ton and down-looking Tom Seymour are
holding open the mouth of hell, and say-
ing ; “ Here you are, boys ; jump in out
of the draft 1”

In Massachusetts. I know not where
that influence is to be found, or, if at-
tainable, that it would be a propel“ fem

It Saved My Life.
In speaking of Coe‘s Cough Balsam, if I tell-you
the whole truth, you will oubt my word, because
nine tenths of the people believe Conner» tion can-
not be cured, and those who do believe th I‘Wfll not
avail themselves of this valuable remod . The]
will have more confidence in it. if I only c aim that
I have been greatly benefitted. In view of this I
am willing to write a whole page. when this be:
may be stated in three wordsgivin you a statement
of my case. Consumption is ere ital-y in the fam-
ily. two brothers and one sister havmg been taken
from me by this alarming disease.
In my case our family physician concurrin with
others eminent for their success, decidedthat must
fall by the same destroyer. I never expected to get
relief, had no faith in medicines, es ecially patent
medicines, and it was with no idea 0 being bend:-
ed that I tried Coe‘s. I had heard it well spoken of
by all who had within my knowledge tried it, but it
was not till I was ove owared by the causation of
my wife that [was wil ing to use it. The relief I
obtains from the first two or three doses, anti-led
me that it was no humbug. My friends soon began
to pay “ Hughes, you look better. What are you
new I" I said, "Coe’s Cough Balsam." They :0-
lie , “ that the article was cod, and wished to
now what I thought of it.” told them, “that I
wished to give it a fair trial then I would report.”
This is what I am about to do. If I can believe
eminent physicians—if I can have confidence in the
opinion of my family and Meade—if I know: the
difference between joy and sorrow, then three years
ago I was cured of Consumption, and I also believe
that if my brothers and sister had used it they
would be here to add their testimon to—day. Now
then, if it fails to cure your {tion , do net's-scum-
mend it the less, for it may cure another. It is th‘
lot of all to die sooner or later, and I under:
that he does not claim to cure Consumption, but I
will vouch for its efficacy in all cases, as I great to,-
list, if not a certain care. And even after‘wrfttng
this, ,if I find that I must die by Consumption,
though I have no fears in the matter, my knowledge
of the good others have received. wi l satlfy me
that in offering this testimony, I only do my duty tn
thus urging the afflicted to til? it. - - .
