I Bat while we repel (or ounelve this charge of sympathy with rebela, we cannot on the other hand exonerate the Fret Prat and iu political partisan from it- Far apart aa they and the rebels are in appearance, there haa been nevertheless, a community of feeling between them, a fellow sympathy from the beginning. Could the great national Democratic Party have remained unbroken in the campaign of 1860, it would have triumphed in the election of that year, and the disruption of the States and the great civil war' into which the nation has been plunged, with its horrible sacrifice of life and ita enormous accu mulation of public debt, would not have occurred: the old United States, in unbroken union and undisturbed prosperity, would have kept on for another term of at least four years probably for an indefinite term of years to come. But the extremists of both North and South did not desire this they had, each, other purposes to accomplish and the integrity and success of the Democratic Party stood in their way. Both, therefore, Bought and strove, in mutual sympathy, to divide and defeat it.

The Fret Press and its friends sympathized with Jeff. Davis and his fellow conspirators iu their work of breaking up the party and of precipitating the South into the policy of aecession and the latter sympathized with the Northern sectional Republican party in their efforts to elect a sectional president in the person of Mr. Lincoln in the Buccess of which they saw the only way to precipitate the cotton States into a revolution." Both were alike gratified at the result of that memorable election. Nor did their community of disunion purposes and their mutual sympathy in them stop here. Both alike dreaded subsequent compromise and re-union, and both have striven aa much as in them lay to hinder it and render it impossible.

No re-union with the free States of the North, but a separate and lasting independence of the South, has bein the prayer at Richmond no reunion with tht Slave States of the South, but their subjugition and re-organization under a new nationall has been the prayer at Washing ton. And tbiir joint prayer has thus far been eminently successful. The ruling powers of both sections have more and more widened the breach till now re-uiion upon the old basis seems all but impracticable What the result of the great revolution, taus set in motion, will be, the wisest among us fai to discern. But throughout it all, this one chord of mutual sympa'hy between the rebels and their other wise fierce oiponents of the North, disunion, and lasting aienation, has remained unbroken When the lichmond fire-eaters madly ex claim, we vould not re-unite with you, even were you to jive us the white paper on which to dictate our own terms," the Northern disunion reconstructioaists rejoice to hear them say it, and hasten to pujlish all through the North. While the Richmond rebels in turn rejoice when they hear of emancipation proclamations, and confis cation acts ind bitter amnesty oaths sent forth from Washiigton, and spread the news of it all through the South.

Each alike dread any ap proaches to reunion, and will mutually do what they can to jrevent it. With whom and where the sympathbs of the Free Press aro to be found in the matter, own columns plainly enough re veal. Our own sympathies in this respect are as foreign to thse of itself and its rebel co-workers, as oil is from water. We desire a complete and lasting overthrow of the ambitious, selfish and most crintnal designs of the Southern rebel leaders, and of whatever can give countenance and support to them. And we desire at the same time the defeat and lasting discomfiture of that fanatical, sectional and disorganizing spirit at the North, which strove for years to grasp the reins of government, and having at length got hold of them by the aid of the Southern conspiracy, has for the past three years or more, used them without statesmanship, without ability, and without honest patriotism, until the country stands to-day confessedly on the verge of ruin.

The St. Alban's Messenger quotes from some anonymous source, under the heading of More Democratic Treason," what, it says, is language used somewhere and at sometime by one L. D. Murphy, and then asks if the Sentinel approves of it. We do not approve of Democratic treason if there be any of it, (which we have yet to learn) any more than we do of Republican treason, of which, as heaven knows, the country is full.

The language which the Messenger quotes sounds much like the work of some Republican hand, trying to g3t on another of the many lies coined to defame the Democracy. Will the Messenger tell us where it found the extract, and when and where the language was used We can then more properly express our opinion of it. One of our exchanges, arguing against the use of butter in these times of high prices, asks if people know how delicious dry bread is, taken clear." We doubt whether they do; and we must confess, from our own experience, we doubt whether they will find it out. The same writer also argues in like strain against eating beef-steak when the price of it is so high as at present, and in behalf of potatoes as a substitute for it-asks does not a well-cooked, good potatoe, without butter or salt, contain all the properties re quired to sustain life 'I Perhaps it does but, as the old toper said when comparing the respective virtues of rum and water, for a steady diet give us beef-steak. Copperheadism IN Essex.

The Administration people have a fashion now-a-days of pro nouncing everything that does not squarely agree with their own notions "copperheadism." An amusing instance occurred in Essex a few days since, of how this fashion sometimes hits among themselves. A negro lecturer was holding forth there, when, in the midst of his remarks, a promi nent citizenjof the was one of his audi tors, arose and left the meeting. The black lecturer thereupon, disgusted with the supposed in dignity put upon himself, paused in his discourse and said I perceive that you have at least one copperhead among you." The man thus stigmatized chanced to be one of the straitest of the sect of black-republicans, and the hit given him greatly amused the people present. We understand that since then much to his annoyance he goes by the name of copperhead," and his mischief-loving neighbors give him no peace. He will not soon forget that brudder "publican," the negro lecturer, Military Intkrkkrenck in Elections.

The Free Press in extenuation of its late approval of the conduct of the Maryland election, pleads its iguorance of the well known fact that there has been any military interference with the freedom of elections in that State. It says that tho only interference it has ever hoard of was that of Gen. McClellan's order in the matter some two years ago. Singularly enough, however, Gen. McClellan's order was directed apaituf military interference in civil elections by any of his officers or men.

Can it be that the Free Press has never seen or heard of the Republican Governor Bradford's message to the Maryland Legislature last fall, in which he so scathingly exposes the grossly outrageous interference of tho Federal officers and troops with the polls in that State? If it has, and then could indite its cool disclaimer last week of knowing anything of the kind, we can only say, 1 shame, shame Ths House has passed without amendment the Senate bill for the coinage of one and two cent pieces maae oi copper ana ziac or un. inenew: two-cent is said to resemble aa much as anything can, a gold coin. On one side there is a wreath of wheat, in the center of which is stamped two cents," and around which are the words United States of America. On the other aide there is the shield of liberty, bearing the words, God our Trust" Oct of thirty-three wounded by the explosion of the boiler of the steamer Chenango at New i York, only four are expected to recover. i Spalding Eocers's circus, returning in brig from a two years' cruise in South America and West Indies, met with a disaster near Barne-gat a few days since.

Desertion. On the 12th Wm Trendal, ot the Koyal Canadian Rifles, a servant of Col. alker, deserted from St. Johns, C.

with his master's horse and many of hi3 valuable effects, and a wagon belonging to Mr. Simpson. Tren-dall was pursued to Swanton, when he gave up the horse, wagon, and several other of the stolen articles, and enlisted in the United States service. A soldier belonging to the same regiment also deserted from Isle Aux Noix, the same day. Paul Morphy, the chess-player, has returned from Paris to New Orleans.

He went to Paris about four years ago as a loyal man, beat all the Europeans at chess, and was flattered and honored immensely. He made his late visit as a rebel, got beaten at chess, and attracted no attention whatever. The Times publishesj the following, which it says is an extract from a stump speech made by Mr. L. D.

Murphy (an individual unknown to fame during the recent campaign in New Hampshire "The Democrats have submitted to the despotic sway of Abe Lincoln for three years, thinking it better to endure wrong for a short time than to risk all by a last appeal to arms. But now the time is coming when we can change our rulers. Rather than submit four years longer to Abe Lincoln, aud be overrun by the hordes ot his hire ling soldiery, let us sing out the cry of old, to your tents, Israel Democrats should arm and organize into drill clubs, companies, battallions, regiments and brigades, for these blood-thirsty Abolitionists and shoddyite thieves and traitors are a wind-broken, dyspeptic race and one regiment of Democrats could whip three ot them. Our armies have accomplished nothing tfie army of the Potomac is a grand picnic excur sion, eating up the substance of the nation, and coining home to vote down the liberties ot the people, and render our election a farce and mockery to the world." The Times adds As long a such a fellow is in close communion with the Democracy, how can the Sentinel claim it as a war party." We venture to assert that but few readers of the Sentinel or TVmes would regard the declamations of some obscure stump speaker, a man never heard of before, as representing the views of the Democratic party. Do the following sen timents, however, of eminent abolitionists represent correctly the principles of the Times and its party 'Resolved, That the American Union consists of those States which are now loyal to the Federal Constitution.

"Resolved, That the restoration of the Union as it existed prior to the rebellion would be a greater calamity than the rebellion itself, since it would give new life to the irrepressible and entail upon the nation another cycle of bit ter contention and civil war. "Resolved, That the seceded States can only be put down, if at all, by being regarded as ou( of constitutional relations vain tne Union, and by being assailed upon principles ot ordinary warfare as between separate nations." Resolution of Judge Conway, of Kansas, in the House, December 15, 1882. If the cotton States shall become satisfied that they can do better out of the Union than iu it, we insist on letting them go in peace. The right to secede may be a revolutionary one, but it exists, nevertheless. If these States unitedly and earnestly wish to withdraw peacefully from the Union, we think they should and would be allowed to do so.

Any attempt to compel them by force to remain would be contrary to the principles enunciated in the immortal Declaration of Independence contrary to the fundamental ideas on which human liberty is based. N. Tribune. Seven or eight States now deny their allegiance to this Government, have organized a separate confederacy, and have declared their independence of this Government. Whether that in dependence is to be maintained or not is with the future.

If they shall maintain their position. and sustain tbe authorities there tor a year or two to come.so as to show that nothing but a war of subjugation and conquest can bring them back, for one, am disposed to recognize that independence." Lt. Gov. Stanton, of Ohio, in U.S. House of Representatives.

The war has utterly dissolved the connection between the North and the South, and rendered them separate and independent powers in the world. It is now evident that force, as a control-ing element in the strife, has spent itself; and that either conciliation or temporary separation must settle the dispute." Speech of Hon. M. F. Conway in the House.

I am not one of those who would ask them to continue in such a Union. It would be doing violence to the platform of the party to which I belong. We have adopted the old Declaration of Independence as the basis of our political movement, which declares that any people, when their Government ceases to protect their rights, when it is so subverted from the true purposes of government as to oppress them, have the right to le-cur to fundamental principles, and if need be, to destroy the Government under which they live, and to erect on its ruins another more conductive to their welfare. I hold that they have the right I will not blame any people for exercising it, whenever they think the contingency has come. You cannot forcibly hold men in this Union for the attempt to do so, it seems to me, would subvert the first principles of the Govern ment under which we live." Senator Wade, of Ohio.

In view of the above expression of Republican views we ask how can the Times claim its party as a war party," much less a Union party The Free Press denies the truthfulness ot the current rumor that the Vermont State Republican Committee has recommended to the National Committee a postponement of their National Convention. It says that the State Committee have taken no such action. Who is at fault in tbe matter, and who correct s. h. rtenat to Hint Eiiie Frederic, youngest daughter ot Uk late Haa.

Fbedebicx 0. Fkixce, Secretary. New York.Jau.12.1-164. Summary ol The operations of the past week are of a simi lar color to those of the whole spring campaign thus far, the result being only defeat and disaster to our arms. On the 18th a rebel ram succeeded in stealing down the Roanoke river, in North Carolina, passing unobserved our batteries at Plymouth and attacked and sunk the U.

S. gunboat Southfield. The gunboat Bombshell was destroyed on the same day by a rebel battery. The rebels then attacked Plymouth, surrounding it with an army of 12000 men. After a gallant resistance on the part of our men under Gen.

Wessells, the place was surrendered with its garrison of 2500 men and 25 guns. The rebel loss in their repeated assaults amounted, it is said, to 1500. Our own loss in killed is set down at 150. Some reports got abroad that the negroes in Plymouth were murdered by the successful rebel soldiers, but they are not confirmed. Further accounts have been received of the Red river or Pleasant Hill battle in Louisiana, which we alluded to last week as unfavorable to the Union arms.

Various journals have represented this affair as a success to our armies, but we regret that the reverse is the truth of the matter. The figh which lasted two days, was a very severe one, and up to the afternoon of the second day our army under Banks had met only with severe loss, and were ou the eve of a most disastrous defeat. By a brilliant and successful strategy of Gen. A. J.

Smith, the tide of victory to the rebels was turned and our army extricated from the danger in which it was placed, was enabled to withdraw. Our losses are variously estimated, they appear to have been at least 3000. The expedition has fallen back to Grand Ecore, the point from which it started. It is charged that the real object of the expedition was a huge cotton speculation set on foot by agents of the treasury department, and that there was no ob-1 ject to be gained at all commensurate to the loss sustained. The latest information from the Southwest is to the eri'ect that the Red river has lallen suddenly, leaving forty of our gunboats and trans-j ports above the raft, which cannot be moved until the water rises again, and that may not be for some time.

Meanwhile they remain, of course, exposed to the attacks of the land forces of the enemy, who are active iu their operations all along the banks. There have been plenty of rumors as to an immediate movement of the army ot the Potomac, but no general movement has yet occurred. Gen. Burnside's corps which has been rendezvousing at Annapolis, has joined the main army in Virginia. An anti-Lincoln Presidential manifesto has just appeared addressed to the National Republican Committee, and expressing a wish to have the Baltimore Convention postponed to September.

The address is signed by Wm. C. Bryant, William Curtis Noyes, and sixteen of the members of the New York State Senate. On the other hand Gen. F.

P. Blair (administration) of Missouri, made a speech in the House on Saturday, in which he denounced Secretary Chase as a dis-unionist, said he was a peace man, opposed to the employment of troops against the South" in the commencement, and had never abandoned that position, that he was now endeavoring to frame a programme by which there would be a permanent dissolution of the Union." He charged the Secretary with corruption, saying that under his regulations contraband goods were allowed to go South, and that through these regulations Senator Sprague, Mr. Chase's son-in-law, would make two millions of dollars. We should not omit to say, in speaking of army matters, that the Governors of several States are taking active measures to place the militia in service, so as to place the volunteers and regulars entirely at the disposal of the general government. The President has accepted the tender on the part of the Governors of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, of an aggregate of eighty-five thousand volunteer infantry, to serve one hundred days from the time of their being mustered in as regiments.

These troops are to be paid, clothed, subsisted and transported by the government, and employed in fortifications, either in their several States or wherever required. Sympathy with Rebels. The Sentinel's sympathies, in this matter, are with the rebels, as usual." Free Press, 23rf. It is no slight charge to accuse one of being iu sympathy with rebellion. Nevertheless it is made so often against us by the Burlington Free Press, and with sucli apparent nonchalence as to the gravity of its import, that we are getting quite used to it and scarcely regard it as note worthy.

Now and then, however, as in the present instance we find ourselves a little curious tokuow what it is that our neighbors have in mind when they thus talk about a Northern man's "sympathy with f'e rebels." To sympathize with any person Bharo with him his aims and wishes, or to desire his success in them. The rebels aim to permanently divide the American Union and to form the Southern portion of it into an independant nationality, aa foreign to the remaining portion of it as Great Britinn itself is. Does the Free Press really suppose that the Skntinkl has any sympathy with such a purpose, or any community of feeling upon the subject with those who, with arms in hand, are striving to carry it out We do not believe that even the Free Press thinks this. Tbe charge is made for political partisan purposes only, and as such'we repel it with the scorn which it justly deserves. It is not only untrue, but tbe re has never appeared in our col- I BW RCi" -lEJfA.

Gilmaa Seaver, of Irasburg, was at work recently in his sugar place, engaged in rolling a large log to the fire, by Borne means his foot caught, causing him to fall forward, when tbe log (which was of heavy timber, 17 feet in length) rolled over his body and lodged on his legs, fracturing one of them badly. The Bellows Falls Times says that the sugar season in that part of the State has been great, many of the farmers in Windham and Windsor counties having made over half a ton each. In Bennington County the farmers are going largely into the Tobacco raising business the coming season. The story that has been going Jthe rounds of the press to the effect that a person in Orleans County wrote a volume of poems, and failing to find a publisher, learned to set type, and printed and bound it himself, is pronounced a canard by the Irasburg Express. The collection of Poems referred to, entitled Poetical Precepts," was printed and bound in the Express office.

One of them weighed 1800 pounds, and is claimed as the animal of his age in Bennington County, if, indeed, not in Vermont. Mr. Thos.
