The Copperheads.—The evidence multiplies that the traitorous factionists, who are boldly plotting against the Government in some of the Western States, are drawing upon themselves the stern indignation and rebukes of Democratic officers and soldiers in the army. Treason finds few sympathizers among our gallant soldiers, and whenever they have an opportunity they do not hesitate to express the liveliest indignation at the efforts of Northern secessionists to embarrass the Government. Col. John T. Wilder, a Democrat commanding a brigade in Gen. Reynolds' division of Rosecrans' army, thus speaks in a private letter of a petition adopted by the Indiana soldiers in the army of the Cumberland:

"Myself, in connection with other Democrats in the army, concluded it was time to let demagogues at home know our position in these matters. We, therefore, drew up this petition, which every soldier from Indiana will indorse, and which is now being done. I am having it read on parade before the Indiana regiments, and take a vote by having all in favor of it step two paces to the front, and then have the regimental commander indorse the result on the bottom of it. The whole matter was started by me, a Democrat, drafted by Major Jordan, a Democrat, and indorsed by Col. Hathaway, and other influential Democrats."
