His intention, no doubt, was to retreat immediately airocs the river, but he found gunboats in bisway. Like aboyen stilts he was compelled to keep moving. He passed up the river, hunting a place to cross, but found none , in Indiana. He travelled up through the river counties as fast as possi ble, going in sight of the steeples of Cin cinnati, on through the hills and foiests of . Ohio, sometimes venturing insight of the " river,' to find gunboats awaiting his ap proach, and then falling back from 40 to CO miles among the hills, exchanging his worn cut horses for fresh, ones, wherever he could find a livery stable or catch a horse. It. was thus impossible for any force iu his rear to catch up with him. Asf there was no ' cavalry in Indiana or Ohio, and as no one knew where Morgan would go, or what route he would take, it was thought by many that he would es cape.. 'The militia at certain places col lected together and prevented him from destroying Jrailrond bridges' and robbing drug stores, &.c. But to follow him was in vain,' as he would be a hundred miles away, before a force sufficient could be organized. ,GcnI Burnside, however, started a force-after him, of seven thousand, who kept about a days march in his rear, un til ih'ey got to Pike County, Ohio, where the citizens, anticipating hi? arrival, cut down on different roads, over one of which he wouid have to pass, timber for a "distance" cf 1 Jrniles. In' the mean tirne; cavalry had been raised about Cin cinnati and sent by steamboat up. the riv er to intercept him. They had several skirmishes and, fights, with him in Pike and Jackson counties, killed a few and captured 2500 of his men. Four or five L'ui-ulred succeeded in eluding the boats, and crossed into Virginia; the gunboats however succeeded in drowning .150. 'Morgan's force, now "reduced to a few hundred are still, hurrying on, and he may possibly yet escape, but the chances are against him. . -.. ; We hear some complaint from Farmers about ifce Chintz Bug in spring wheat.

" - THE NEr- Y0RO10I3. - - - For the first time for two years, the Eas'.ern papers have found something be sides the details of the war with .which to fill iheir columns. The Ncw ;York papers ull profesj to condcum ihe ,h;rri 1 !o lurtarities tf the mob. Battheccp: 'jrhe3d journals, with coolness peculiar ly amusing, charge the existence of tha mob to the teachings of Ilepublicnn lead ers; -Several of ihoe" very journals had day after day told their readers that the c oi ; s c r ipti 0 :T a c"l u a s ill e'a 1 ,""a nd ' th aT ih e people ."deserve I to be tarfa" if they submitted.- : .The mob was compose i cf the worst class of all nationalities Irish. Germans and Americans. By far the larger por tion of them were IrUh. no respectable Iriah, not any from the 6th or 14th' wards, but the low drunken rowdies, such as in fest Five Points. There is no doubt but the nicb was'concocted by genuine rebels. It va3 the intention to commence the roit on the 4th of July,' but the defeat of Lee, surprised arid disconcerted their ar rangements, Had Lee been victorious, a nd . marched on through : Pennsylvania, they would have raised the Confederate flag and attempted .o bring cn a revolu tion in New York. Their watchword was'"down with the" flag," and "down with the nigger." The mass of the crowd, were - poor, ignorant, bosotted wretches who Lad no object in vievy", save resistance to the draft, desire to commit devilment, and in some cases to pillage. They wanted to murder Aboli tionists, but would 4have probably been quite as ready to murder secessionists had they been set c'n.. "But the leaders and instigators, were rebels, and vainly hoped they could inaugurate a revolution. They were neither Irish ner Dutch,' but Americans, seme of them Southerners, and claiming some little respectability. One of them, a Mr, Andrews, was from the "first families of Virginia." had fre quently addressed the people as an Anti war Democrat, along with Fernando Wood, seemed to be the principal spirit in directing the rioters.' He and others were frequently observed to hurrah for Jeff. Davis. In several places the Stars and Stripes were torn to pieces. The mass of the mob were plaint tools in the hands of these rebels. .We have seen no estimate as yet of the nurcber of . murders, the amount of property destroyed, or the number of negroes killed by the mob, nor of the number, of, the mobocrats killed by the police and military. The New York Tribune, gives great praise to the efforts of Irish Cathclic Priests in quelling the late roit. No: Copperheads In the Army. The St. Louis Republican complains that Gen. .IJalleck and Sec. Stanton, when they were serenaded over the fall' of Vicksburg, should have used the term "Copperhead " in the short speeches they made. The Republican says the term Copperhead is applied to Democrats, and that there are as many Democrats in tho army as Re publicans. AH' very true, but the Democrats in the army aro not Cop perheads. Lieut. Polock says in the Nebraska Firsts there are plenty of Democrats, but not one Copperhead!, at least among the privates. Captain Matthews tells the eame of the Kan sas Seccnd; they all "hate the Cop perheads cf the Xorth worse than the oven armed rebels.11 The soldiers of all regiments, . throughout Missouri, detest such sheets as the Republican, and all who patronize it. But "wher ever they find a copy of the St. Louis Democrat, in any house they may visit, that family is safe from any outrage or insult no danger of their being jayhawked in the night. - We often hear men say, "O, I am a Copperhead, because I am & Demo" crat all Democrats areCopperheads," and then begin to tell how many Democrats there are in the array. These men are like the fox in the fable, who had lost his tail in a trap, and wanted all the other foxes to dis pense'with their. tails. They know the stigma that attaches to their charac ter, and as miBery loves company, they want it to appear that all Demo crats are Copperheads. Those only are Copperheads, (and it matters net whether they :are Democrats or Re publicans, Whigs or Abolitionists,) whose sympathies are to a greater or less cx.tent with the Rebels ; who want the War stopped, and. the Southern Confederacy; recognized, which is of course a dissolution of the Union ; who" oppose every measuro of the Administration, that . is calculated to suppress the rebellion.. , There are many grades of Copperhead s, from the open, avowed Rebel, down to hypo critical or weak kneed Union men; and they manifest themselves in in a thousand ways by constantly finding fault with the real or fancied mistakes of the Administration ; by opposing the draft ; grumbling about the War Tax; by magnifying the success of the rebels, and representing that they sre invincible : by reioicinrr over the ' Rebel victories, and denying the iolnnd compelled the cUizecs to pc rt a 1: ce '-6 tU ti i 0 :i - v ic 1 0 r i a ml 7 i :r myriades of other ways. The true Copperhead cannot po33ibly .disguise himself. He may attempt to play tho Union nan, but he cannot kep up the character fifteen minutes without mis takes.

Editor : As' certain false ru mors and vague impressions have ob tained in various parts of the country, with regard to the death of one La fayette Shamlin, at Salem, Richardson county, please allow me, through your columns, to give ;a' state ment of tho facts as they occurred. Mr. Shamlin came to Salem some time this Spring,, and made himself somewhat notoriously chasing a sol dier out of town, with a revolver and bowie knife to back up his threats if the soldier did not leave. . The soldier left, and Mr. Shamlin left soon after for a few week, and then returned and staid a few days, and was at Salem off and on until' the 25th of June, when he road through town , at full speed, stopped at the residence of a citizen, arid called his name several times, and requested him to come out. The citizen recognizing the voice, did not come out; so Mr. S. went to the door and pushed ' against it,'and dared him to-came out,' which he did not see fit to do. ' Mr. then mounted his horse, and swore by all that was good and great,, that he would blow his d d brains out the first chance he had ; in the meantime, to enforce his threats, holding a cocked revolver in his hand,' and having another. in his belt, also a largo bowie knifeof which the writer of this article was witness to'. Mr. S, after making the above demonstration, left as he came,"nnder full speed; ' The citizen threatened then went to the office of a; Justice of the Peace, and got out a writ of assault with in tent to kill ; The qfficer entrusted with serying-the writ took a posse of ten men and proceeded after Mr. S., and followed him through Falls City to the residence of Lieut. Bayn, about three miles east of Fall3 City, where they arrested him and took hirn back to Salem, and. delivered him. over to the Justice who issued the writ. Mr. S. had an impartial trial, and was bound over for appearance at court in the sum of 1,000. Failing to give bail he was put in charge of the officer who arrested him, vho summoned two persons to assist, in guarding him through the night.. .
