---"It is openly proclaimed by the Copperheads, that the country can never be at peace unless New England is kicked out of the Union, and that if we wish to conciliate our "Southern Brethren," we must first cut loose from the Puritanism of the East. Now the Copperheads assume to be the especial champions of the Constitution. Can they find in that instrument authority for leaving New England "out in the cold?" And id they succeed in getting it so left out, what will become of their boasted love for the old Union?"

---"We commend the practice which the DEMOCRAT has adopted, of filling up it editorial column with extracts from the ADVERTISER. It will afford an agreeable change to its readers from the silly and treasonable productions of that concern."

TOOTHACHE

"Having heard of the neatness and artistic skill with which Dentist PIERCE gets up new teeth and preserves old and decayed ones, we called the other day to see some of his work. He has several sets of teeth which he made some years ago, one of which has take premiums at several State Fairs. It is the neatest job of the kind we ever saw. His tools for manufacturing and filling teeth are probably not surpassed in the country. He has some fine paintings, shells, and other curiosities which he politely exhibits to those calling to see him."

RECOVERY OF A BODY

"The DIXON TELEGRAPH says, a few weeks since a son of J. T. LITTLE, of Dixon was drowned while skating, and his body was lost under the ice. The bereaved father sent to Detroit for Capt. WOLVERTON and Martin QUIGLEY, submarine armor divers, who arrived at Dixon on Sat. the 27 the __. On the afternoon of that day, Mr. QUIGLEY descended to the bottom of the river, along the dam, in his armor and spent an hour and a half traversing the ground, when darkness closed the search for the day. It was continued on Sunday, what at 11 1/2 o'clock Mr. Q. came up with the deceased under his arm. The search was witnessed from day to day, notwithstanding the inclemhney of the weather, by a large concourse of citizens."

"At the last regular meeting, Jan. 5, 1864, the following action was had by the Company and ordered to be published; particularly for the benefit of those members having uniforms and continually absenting themselves from the drills and business meetings of said Company:
1st. That the Company will meet for drill and business, at Burton Hall, with full uniforms and arms, on the last Tuesday of each month.
2d. That a fine of fifty cents will be imposed on each member having a uniform absenting himself from meeting.
3rd. That the roll will be called at the commencement of each meeting.
4th. That no member will be allowed to leave the meeting without permission from the commanding officer.The above action, it is hoped, will tend to induce certain members, heretofore negligent in doing so, to attend more regularly, which is absolutely necessary to acquire efficiency."
