Whereas, the Republican Terrhoriat
Central Committeeat their last meeting
in February, decided to abandon their
organization, at least for the present,
and as a majority of the members of the
TWinrmtie Territorial Commute, as
well as many other patriotic, union-loving
Democrats, had previously express
d a desire to co-operat with all other
Union men on a common platform until
the suppression cf the rebellion, the Rep.

purpose of choosing such Committeeman.
We hope there will be a general atten

A serious affair happened on Friday,
April 1st in our city. While the guard
cn duty at the guard-house on Main
street was quietly walking his beat, he
was accosted by a stranger with a demand
for his revolver, who at the same time
passed the guard and attempted to get
into the guard house, disregarding re
peated challenges to halt; he was pushed
back from the door by a soldier, when
he assaulted the guard to take his pistol
and the guard shot him, the ball en
ttnng under the chin ; he expired in a
few minutes. An inquest held upon the
deceased gave a verdict that death was
caused by being shot by. the guard in dis
charge of his duty. The guard has been
exhonerated from all blame. .
The name of deceased was Wra. Har
den. He . was either in liquor at the
time or just getting over the effects of a
tpree, and is supposed to have been a
little deranged. This is a sad warning
against tampering with a guard while on
duty, they have no right to know any one
while on duty save their officers, and can
xot stop and ascertain whether a man is
sine or insane, drunk pr sober, and all
should bear in mind that they must hah
as soon as challenged.
The Riot at Charleston, Calls county,
111., was the most disgraceful ever brought
about by copperheads in the North; and it
is a source of congratulation to know that
it has been so speedily put down. We
fear these ou' breaks will become more
numerous as the Presidential election ap
proaches. They must be nipped in the
bud and the ring-leaders hung. It will
Dot do in the present state of our country
to temporize with such -material, and as
aoon as copperheads Bhow their disposi
tion by acts, they should be immediately
and aeverelly dealt with. The prisoners
wer removed to Springfield on the 2d.
No further trouble was apprehended.

Real estate is advancing with astonish

tendency of real estate, we clip the fol
lowing item from the "World."
An ex-mayor of the city, who lived in
an elegant residence, in?umptuous style,
was visited one day by two ladies who
asked permission to look at his house,
stating that the house next door was for
&ale, but the occupants would not' allow
them to view it. His honor courteously
informed them that the houses in that
block were exactly alike, and they might
examine iiis house as fully as they pleas
ed. On leaving, one of the lauies said
to him, I suppose you would not sell your
house? Oh. yes, said his honor, I will
sell anything but my wife and children.
That afternoon he received a noe from
a leading real estate house, asking him if
he would sell his house and at what price.
He offered it at 830,000. The offer
was taken at once. The papers were
passed and the money paid that night.
The next day it was sold for 40,000.
Two or three things in this transaction
made his honor a little unquiet. He of
fered . his house 810,000 les than his
next door neighbor asked. He had to
abandon his luxurious and comfortable
home instantly. He was literally turned
into the street. Somebody made S10,
000 out of him. Getting a fashionable
residence at any price was out of the
question. Nothing remained for him but
the overcrowded Fifth Avenue Hotel.
He is now with his family in the attic

A DREADFUL FIGHT BETWEEN
COPPERHEADS ANDjSOLDIERS.
From the Charleston Flaiadealer, Extra, March 23.
Charleston, Monday, 9 p. h. '
This afternoon a dreadful affair took
place in our town, the moat shocking in
its details that has ever occurred m our
part of the State. Earlyin the morning
squads of Copperheads came in town,
. . i . . . . ,
from various cirections, ana, as tne se
quel will show, armed and determined
upon summary vengeance upon our
soldiers. During the day premonitions
of coating trouble were too evident.
Some of the soldiers, about to return to
to their regiments, were somewhat ex
cited by liquor, and consequently rather
boistnous, but not belligerent were
more disposed for fun thin fight. About
four o'clock, a soldier, Oliver Sallee,
stepped up to Nelson Well's, who has
been ragarded as the leader of the Cop
perheads in this county, and placing his
hand good naturedly against him, play
fully asked him if there were any Cop
perheads in town? Wells replied, "Yes,
God d n you, I am one !" and draw
ing his revolver shot at Sallee, but miss
ed him. In an instant Sullee was sho
from another direction, and fell, but rais
ing himself up, he fired at Wells, the
ball taking effect in his vitals. He ( W. )
went as far as Chambers & McCrory's
store, and passing in, fell dead. The
Copperheads were gathered behind
Judge EdwaTds' office, loading their fife
arms, and then would step out and fire
from the corner at the soldiers indiscrim
inately, with guns and revolvers. Of
course, having come fully prepared, they
had vastly the advantage over the soldiers
who were not expecting such an attack,
and were, for most part, unarmed:
Those who were armed would hardly
know at whom to fire until they were
fired upon. The Copperheads were seen
to hurry to their wagons, hitched at the
square, and gather therefrom several
guns", which were concealed under the
straw. They were freely used and with
terrible effect. Thomas Jeffries was the
next to fall, receiving an ugly wound in
the neck. Wm. Gilman was shot by B.
F. Dakes, the ball striking a rib on his"
left side and glanced off. Dukes was
then seen to fire at Colonel Mitchell, and
afterwards declared that he had killed
him. JUolonel M , received several shots
through his cloths ; one hit his watch and
glanced off, producing only a slight flesh
wound upon his abdomen. The watch
thus, providentially, saved his life. Dr.
York, Surgeon of the 54th Illinois, while
passing through the Court Hcuse, was
approached by some one from behind,
who took deliberate aim and shot dead
the pistol being held so close to him
that the powder burned his coat ! So far
as we can learn, Dr. - - York was not
actively engaged in. the affray, save in
his professional capacity as surgeon, and
in trying to restore order. A soldier,
Alfred Swim, company G, 54th Illinois,
was shot, and taken to Drs. Allen and
Van Meter's office, where he soon died.
Mr. S. lived somewhere near Casey, in
Clark county, where he leaves a wife
and three children. He is spoken of by
all as having been an excellent soldier
and a good citizen. Wm. G. Hart.
Deputy Provost Marshal, was shot in
several places in the head and vitals ;
his wounds are probably mortnl. James
Goodrich, company C. 54th Illinois, re
ceived a shocking wound, being shot in
the bowels. ' His wound, we fear, will
prove mortal.
Unarmed as our boys were, Colonel
Mitchell soon rallied all he could, citizens
and soldiers, and improvising such arms
as could be had, garnered at the south
west corner of the square, as the Cop
perheads retreated down the street run-
ning east tneretrom. Dispatches were
sent to Mattoon for soldiers, and three
hundred were soon on the way. The
Copperheads halted somewhere near
Mrs. Dickson's and remained for some
time, then turned and went off. Beyond
J. H. O Hair s residence they gathered
together, consulted for a time, and then
moved off in a northeasterly direction,
cutting the telegraph wire as they went
unfortunately before a dispatch could
be sent to Dr. York's family, at Paris,
giving notice of his' assassination.
About five o'clock the reinforcements
from Mattoon arrived, and while in the
Court House yard, Mr. John Cooper,
from Saulisbury. was captured, and
brought in as a prisoner, by Mr. W. A.
Noe, and a soldier. Mr. C, had taken
an active part in the affray ; when in
front of Jenkin's store her attempted to
escape,, and when commanded to halt re
fused to do so, whereupon Mr. Noe fired
over C.'s head, who, in return, fired at
some of our men, when orders were given
to fire upon him, A-hich was done, and he
fell dead at Jenkin's door. Unfortunate
ly one of the balls passed through the
closed door and struck Mr. John Jenkins
in the groin, producing a serious, and
probably, mortal wound. Mr. Cooper
was shot through the neck and shoulder.
When the Copperheads were halted near
Mrs. Dickson's, he was heard to say that
as they now had no leader he was ready
to lead them back and kill the d d
soldiers and burn the town, or die in the
attempt; and at various places he was
heard to threaten to cut out the hearts of
the 'd d Abolitionists," and , use
kindred expressions.
How many there were of the Copper
heads, we do not know, nor can we esti
mate the number, save by the size ef the
squad that retreated in several directions
We think there may have been from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty, and all
mounted. Who their leaders were, we
do not know, precisely. J. H. O'Hair
Sheriff of this countj', was seen to fire
three times at the-soldiers. John Fra
zier, while sitting on his horse was seen
to fire five times at them, and then leare;
Q'hers of less prominence were equally
war-like.
Immediately after the soldiers arrived
squads, mounted upon all the horses
that could be found, were started out in
every direction in pursuit Colonel
Brooks in charge of one. Lieutenant
Horner, another, &.c. Up to this writing
nine p. m., some twelve prisoners have
been captured, and the pursuit still kept
up after more.
Of the gang were two men from Ed
gar county, on one of them was found an
oath of allegiance taken by him at Paris,
recently. He boasted that he was the
man who shot Dr. York: that he came
for that purpose.
KILLED A5D WOUNDED.
We herewith present the following
list of killed and wounded :
Killed Major "York, snrgeon, 54th,
Ulinoi3; Alfred Swim, private, company
Gf 54th do; Nelson Wells, Copperhead;
John Cooper, Copperhead.
- Wounded Colonel Wells, 54th Illinois
slightly ; Jas. Goodrich, company C, 54th,
severely; Oliver Sallee, 54th, severely;
John Neer, company G. 54th, slightly ;
George Ross, company C, 54th, slightly ;
Thos. Jeffries, Brooks' regiment, severe
ly; Wm G. Hart, soldier, severely;
John Jenkins, citizen, severely; Wm.
Gilman, citizen, severely; John Trimble,
slightly ; Sanf ord Noyes, slightly.
Several of the Copperheads were se
verely wounded, but were taken off" in
wagons.
Tuesday Mortifitfo, 11-2 a. . m. It
is our painful duty to ttate, at this hour,
that Messrs. Jenkins, Hart and Good
rich, are dead having "died at fire, ten
and a half, and eleven and a half o'clock,
respectively, this morning, making a
total of seven killed. Colonel Brook's
s quad, going up through the O'Hair set
tlement, recaptured Levi Freisner and
also the guard of .Butternuts placed over
him, six or eight in all. It is said that
the "enemy" are now gathered two or
three hundred strong, under J. H. O'Hair
at Goiliday's Mill, some ten miles north
east from here. Whether this be so, or
not, we are unable to say. Mr. O'Hair
sent word to Colonel Mitchell if he;would
make the soldiers behave, he would do
the same' by his men ! They will proba
bly "behave."
There are now some forty prisoners,
guerrillas and citizens of "constitutional"
or doubtful loyalty, under arrest, and
more being arrested.
What the end " of this state of things
will be. we cannot tell; but if the Gov
ernment does not now take the matter
in' hand, we fear that the terribly exas
perated soldiery and citizens will. Union
men' have long been threatened and
Union soldiers have been so bitterly
cursed, and now brutally butchered, by
those from whom better things had been
expected, that forbearance will cease
has ceased to be a virtue.- Loyal rner
here, and the soldiers at' the front, are
endeavoring to uphold the laws of the
land , but they cannot, and will not,
stand unconcernedly by and see their
fellows assassinated for so doing.
THE ATTACK ON PADUCAH.
Several families arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon, who are sufferers
by the recent .fight at Paducahl They
left the town on Saturday afternoon at
two o'clock, the day after Forrest had
made the attack and been repulsed.
They tell a sad story of the misery and
wreck of property entailed upon the peo
ple by the fight. The rebels were in
large force, and the assault appears to
have been similar to the one made on
Fort Donelson in the winter of sixty-three.
The rebels were gloriously drunk, and
but little better than a mob. They made
the attack upon Paducah, without giving
the citizens a word of warning. The
Federal force evacuated the immediate
city, and concentrated at the fort, erected
on an eminence, a short distance in the
rear of the town, . With wild cheers and
blasphemous oaths the rebel hordes
throngfed the streets and "commenced an
indiscriminate, pillage of the houses.
They discharged their pieces in a reck
less manner, wounding many of the citi
zens. At last Forrest succeeded in ral
lying his force, and, forming the regi
ments in battle line, several desperate
charges were made upon the fort The
Federals met them with a withering fire
and in each onset the rebel columns were
broken and driven back in confusion.
The forces inside of the fort consisted of
Colonel Cunningham's colored troops
and a Kentucky regiment, the whole un
der the command of Colonel Hicks.
Colonel Hicks ordered the town to be
fired and soon a black cloud of smoke
rolled above the burning buildings.
About this time two gunboats arrived
No. 33 and No. 32. The citizens were
fleeing from the town, many of them
taking refuge in the fort; the buildings
near the fortifications were in a sheet of
flame, while a portion of the rebel column
were rallying in the streets away from
the fire for - another charge. The gun
boats rounded to, and squaring their
broadsides, they raked the streets with
grape and canister, bursting a shell here
and there. The slaughter was terrible,
and the rebels rapidly retreated from the
town. Many of the citizens were killed
and wounded by this terrible raking fire.
The lines remained quiet during the
night. The next day the steamer Liberty
arrived from Nashville, and the Captain
kindly offered to take as many citizens
on board as his boat would carry and re
move them from the scene of danger.
Many of the terrified ; people availed
themselves of the Captain's humane offer.
When the Liberty left Paducah the
rebels were forming and advancing to
make another attack. The town was
still burning, and the blackened ruins
loomed sadly from out the hanging clouds
of smoke.; It wa3 indeed a wild, tragic
scence. , The passengers huddled on the
steamer, gazed with tearful eyes on the
ruined city, and they knew that they
were homeless wanderers. The rebel
dead lay scattered along the river bank,
and throughout, the deserted streets.
Wonen and children had fallen victims
to the fight; some were killed outright,
others were suffering from painful
wounds.- Lou. Journal.
. Ringold, April l.The cavrlry 'force of

a few days and now amonnts to about 5.-

before an unconditional Union ward club
in New York City, a few days ago.
He spoke at length . concerning the pro
gress cf the nation to justice towards the
nVroand freedom throughout the coun
try0. He made no reference to the Pres.
idential questions more than casually,
in the course of his ' remarks, praising
both the course of Fremont, Lincoln and
Chase in their various public acts. He
closed with the following declarations on
the issues of the day? . ; .
"And now, said he, as to the question
of the races on this Continent. The
American people are made up from very
diverse origin and from different materi
als. "-We may, if we please, divide our
selves into faction, as native and foreign
Irish and German, and so on, and be
constantly hating,' thwarting, disparag
ing, degrading, opposing, each other;
realize, as I think we ought
to, as we tend iTealize, that all nature's
differences make all nature's attr actions,
and iha1 men are raae 80 var.ius as
they are, by advise benevolent God
for good 'and wholesome ends, and that
what we have to do is each of 'J in our
own sphere to do our own work proper
ly, taking care not to harm our neigh
bors, however they differ with us, and
trying to give to every one the same op
portunity so far as equality is concerned.
There are no two men perfectly equal;
one man is wiser, stronger, more vir
tuous, than another there are many
points of difference but my rights are
not affected by the fact that my neigh
bor knows more than 1 do, or anything
of the like. These are our rights as
men. A wise government is that which
realizes that a man's influence may de
pend on his character, but his rights
should depend on his manhood, and on
nothing but that. Applause. - I be
lieve that this great, terrible fight which
we have in this country is to last us a long
time after we get over the conflict of
arms. I believe we shall wish not to
quarrel with each other. At home in
ouf neighborhoods we shall cease, we
shall repi ess feuds and factions, and all
others except those founded on a gener
ous rivalry to promote the public good,
or differences of Jopinion as to policy, or
measures and principles, whereon men
divide and ought to divide for the good of
their country, not for its harm. I be
lieve that ' his terrible experience, this
terrible, bloody and desolating civil war,
will be an impressive lesson, teaching us
when it shall have passed away, teach
ing us as we never felt before, the truth
of the unity of mankind and the univer
sal rights' of our'brethern of the human
race, whatever may be their complexion
or their capacities. I believe that we
shall become a people wherein our dif
ferences shall not be grounds of hatred
and hostility, but shall be grounds of
generous rivalry in our efforts" to pro
mote the public good; I believe that if
we shall at the end of this war saV We

plause. A few mornings ago the people of St.
Joseph were thrown into a state of won
der and trepidation at finding a white
cross marked on the walls of every Radi
ical Unionist's house in the city, and on
the house of some tolerably liberal Cop
perhead's! What could it portend. Says
the Tribune;
Copperheads and rebels trembled least
it should prove a certificate of exemption
from a general massacre by an outraged
people, who having determined that for
bearance is no longer a virtue, had deci
ded to take the matter in their own hanns
and ride themselves of a nuisance no lod
ger endurable, and had placed a mark
upon each house not consigned to des
truction, that when the avangers came
I they might pass them by. On the other
hand the, Kads were curious to know
whether, now that the pawpaws where
being disbanded and turned like wolves
upon an unprotected fold, that they had
not concluded to go at their old trade of
house-burning and murder, and were
about to commence business in St. Joseph
and had accordingly spotted the dwell
ng3 of the hated Radicals, Jacobins, Ab
piilionists, Yankees, etc. (as the Herald
man calls them)
The Tribune proceeds to explain that
a new carrier of that paper, determining
to remember the houses at which he was
to deliver the Tribune, had. ridiculously
chalked each house, little expecting how
they would appear in the glare of the
day, and, the surprise and curiosity they
would cause those who could not under
stand them!
