Gov. Med AB T Dear Sir; My wile, lad evening, amused herself making rhymes thought perhaps you would like vjueiy for your excellent paper, so I tend you a copy. Line Addressed to Abraham Lincolnw: Aoe, wou an our cnoscu King;, To thee we would ear Uibuie bring; Thy voice proclaims the negroes free, To lie for tkem is serving thee. Bviiolti! we wait before thy feet, To do thy bidding all complete. Thy favor now upon ua shed, And bid ua smite the "Copperhead;" To darkest dungeous bid us bring These mighty foes of thine, Of king; Thy word is law, to that we bow, Of lead ua on to victory BJI w; Thjf Soathern foes we du not feur, Wt'il conquer them both far ans Bear; But these ut home we mostly dread. You know we mean the 'C'ppehe d;"' The loyai leajjucs In every town Are doirg much tu put them down; 1 -'nee by L iJ.es we arc led, aholl kill the Copperhead When this la done, thy rule -halt he, O'er North and South frurn sea In sis; While every one shall weekly say, What ia thy will we must obey; A i. ti thus ahs.'l paee and quiet tf'ljjti, Ami Copperheads nt'er Snre agnin Assert their right to think or apenk, Oc question why the lws you br. .k, M. k Frt m the Louisville Jodrnfi OCT Do treasonable la IIa and trea - o u a L t aims become innocent wheu a man who ik guilty of the in pretends to be a d 'inocru Worceeter Spy.

Iu this relation, the language of Wendell Phillips in Iiis bitter attack up. n the President at Brook lyr, not long ago, is sug gestive: "f res, lurward with the bsyonot ofrepubliean demand.

From the New York tWsniug Post. The True Method with Copperhead, We have e suggsstion to make which

may have been mad before, but Wich,, 1, because of ita obvious truth and importance,1 cannot be to often iinpreseed upoc lhi ininda uf our authorities. It n-late to tue proper method of suppressing- the disou -

tents and grumblings which, for the waniUcbel armies. To capture Richmond, or of a belter phrase, are culled copperlieadiHrnyiny other place in the South, will not put in the slang of (he dy. ivory bo ly u ill(au end to the rebellion; to try political ofat1 nut that it id deairable to prevent, as far f-.'iidirs by a.iütsry courts will ac t put down

as possible, the?e expression of discord, to maintain as great a unmimit) as possibla in public sentiment, and to proceed in the war against the rebellion with the asms on

broken front in which it was begun. Fac-i campaign as to defeat and roul and destroy lions, cotencs and parties only embarrass ii,e Rebel armies thai will put an end not our efforts and give encouragement te that only to the rebellion, but to all the mUhope of a division at the North which was(cliievoua and silly manifestatiooa of symone of the original motives of the ring pathy with it, which appear in the free leaders of the revolt. Ststes. It is no use to hack away half

Our Higgcsron is s very eimple one; it is thla: that the best, if not the on!y way of pulling down the eopperheniN, is to defen, capture, scatter and deMroy the Rebel armies. If the Government will assume that to be its principal doty just now, snd will set H work doing it with direetn, ener) ar.d ut flindiin:' determinati.t, it will htre no further trouble with enemies nt home. Lei it concentrate Us entire vigor upon the mWtvry problem which has the capture o' Let's army for Its solution, and it wiil not only have enough to do, bnt of the right sort. The wh ile loyal community will applaud and Bti'itin i's efforts, and when they shall have proved ucccas'ul, everybody will be Inyal, and a microscope of the highest mag Mfyirj, power will fall to discover in op nonent outskle of th insane snylurn, north of Mason and DigoVs lines. The object is indeed so necessary in itself and so likty to b iwiv rsilly salutary, that no means should be spared te rccoinpush it, nor any side hwnea be permitted to dis'ract the attention of the Administration fur a single moment. It is the end to winch it should bend II tta energies and .It-vote all the genius aud talent it can command Oar armies sre I'irge enough; our solJier are veterana; it needs now only a little more sagacious and energetic Generalship; and if the c jmnander3 who have now the manage ment of the war in their hands are not abl. to beat the enemy, let them be removed and olhcra put in thfir places. If the Govcn mtftt will attend closely to the war, and if military gentlemen will go and fight the enemy, we shall hear less of urrests and btbef abusce at huine. Or, it it bo necessary that arrests should be made, let ua begin, as a writer iu owe of the morn ing papers the other day advised, by arresting Jeff. Davis atgl liUCabinet, condemning and Bragg to Fort L fay cite, and hanging Tot nibs, Floyd, Wise snd others, with uat bvurfu ef the writ of habeas corpus or even the clergy. These are arrests which may be made in the uiusl arbitrary manner and nobody mI1 Cwiuplaiu; uo court will in slat in reviewing the prucceuiugaj aud a meeting could scarcely be uiusiursd at die F.vs Pt.sut la" listen to spec en es iu vituper ation of the authors. Gen. Grant, we lake leave to say.isdwing a great deal just now in tilualraaoa of our method. By his gallant passage uj me Vickaburg batteries by his intrepid esau'i u;oa Port Giboon; by Irs rapid movement upon Jacktn and caplare of that town ufter aeveral hours' bard lighting; by h's instant evacuation of the place to advance upoa tlis enemi's works; and, iu short by liis fosr or five severe battles iu about as, many days, he has done more to atop the umuths of gainaayees than a thousand arrests snd tta thousand pris jus teeming wiib Mtate captivea. The bitterest oppu sent of the Government is eoinpelluU either to fling up hi cap in the presence of ach fi de, or to remain in stupid and obstinate silence. Cusdd tko other officers of the atmy be and the half doasu ktuls armies, that we have aealtarsd about the coast doing uoth-

Imius; iler would never be another copper head Luord of. The major ty of them would become sudden I j loyal, aud the others, in

'he bitterness of their resentment, sting themselves to death.

No duty to the Government, then, wta J. ' write r brier communication to repeat, is so impressive and momentous aa ln readers of the Courier, that they may ibat of overwhelming and crushing the now we tI" smong the living snd

lue rebellion; to arrest women for flipping their crinolines at the Star-Spangled Banner will not put down the rebellion; but to so mats our armies and so plan our summer inches off the tail of the copperhead serpcut; but crush his head, and then you will get rid of the creature without further trouble. Letter from a Dubois Volunteer: Vicvsaoae, Miss.. May BO, ,863. Ml Editor: I have just 1A minutes to writs is vou of lbs condition sad position of the bt st army ever known. We invaded the aoil of Mise aaippi on the Büch wit. On the 1st day of May he 18 h Indiana, at he head of this great Army, opened the flnt l MifnoTia Church. Since that we tiavefonght five pitched battles, and gained s great victory at etch. We moved on and fought our v ay to Jackson, and took the Reh Is out of tbst plaee, st the point of the bayonet, on a double quick, where we cap tured a large supply of Commissary stores. We then started back for Vicksburg. We' -con came in contact with the army el vicksburg, under Gen. P mberton. We fought them two daya before we got them drove back to the fortifications of Vicks burg. On the 19 h the terrible struggle be gan.and there has been nothing h?ard, but the roar of mightv cannon for twelve daya The Rebels seldom reply. Gen. Sherman' Corpa rest on the Mississippi river on oar extreme tight, Gen. M l'lier son's Corps in the c liter snd Gen. McClernsnd's on the left." We hive them entirely cut off, ao that a man cau'l paas our linea. Here is the place we intend on keeping tbem unti they surrender for surrender they must. Gen. Carr's division made a gallant charge on their worka here, and waa compelled t fall back, as we could not master tbei works. Non.odewill do but seige. W have captured 70 pieces of artillery, 12,000 stands of small arms, over 12 000 prisoner with a loss Of about 10,000 men up to this Jäte. Bebe! loss ia not teas then 17.00U killed aud wounded. Health has been rx ccedingly good so far, though the boys arc all pretty well worn now, as they must take tho weather as it comes, without tents or anything to keep them dry.

Fred Douglass, the negrj orator, in a recent speech In Phila delphia, thus uttered his command to his whits republican brethren: The term "negro" waa the moat pregnant now spoken. It is the pivot upon which turns the Union. Msny attempts have been made to push the negro question aside but it bad defied the compromiaing skill of the moat profound siateamen. The negro and tits oauon most be one; mast rise or fall, aurvive or perish together.

Tfiie Usioa Is dear to us all, not only because ef its frse institutions, bat from the fsct that it waa b qusatbed tu aa by oar patriotic falbere of revolutionary days. The prevailing sentiment is the graad army of the Cum berland is lbs reatoration of the Uuion to its originality, with the Star Spangled ban ner unfurled to the geatie bn exe of the sun ny SouiU, and triumphantly waving over every city, tows, hamlet sod village. Bat it has already cost thousands of pre eious Uvea, and will perhaps, cost maay tboaaands in .re. With hearts penetrated with unutterable grief ws sre constrained to ask a hers sre maay thousands of our brave soldiers goael The laraeniationa of the American people will answer, they bare fallen on the gory field of hauls, while defending tbeir country's flag, and their nahes sre entombed upon the field that witaeeaed their valor. We are called upon to nouru the loss of maay brave sad efficient officers wLe fell while gallantly leading tbeir men on to vicio ' ry. Their namea will live in the annals of history, and when unborn geaeraiions peruse tbs history of our national troubles they will find it a source of enjoyment to rebearee the names of our brave men who pressed their liberties. We have recently boon considerably invigorated by the cheering news from Gen. Grant's army, ia the vieioity of Vickaburg, aad era anxiously waiting to hear the glad tidings uf the fall of that Babel atrong bold. II Great aad bin brara band succeed iu demolishing the rebels at that point, we will wi'out doubt move directly upon Bragg nt Tells boms, who it ia aappoaed will not stop to give us battle there, bet rill tail back upon Chattanooga, with le gallant Rose, craas at his heela ready to "gobble hin up" whenever be balls. Ws hope aooa to be able to press forward, until the aao ef Bebellion goes dowo ia despair. No doubt there ars thousands in the South who would re joice at our preaence and welcome the eld flag back to ita righ'ful domains, with the honor aad integrity of our nation preferred and rebellion crushed. Our Brigade ie commanded by Brig, Can. John Beatty. Ha ia a calm cooaiderate, and brave man during an engagement.
