EASTERN NEWS.—It is probable from several reports that the army of the Potomac will take up a
strong defensive position about Washington, and that no direct efforts to take Richmond will be made at
present. The time has not arrived for more forward movements towards Richmond, and will not arrive till
the spirit of the enemy is crushed by reverses in other quarters. . .
BRAGGING ABOUT IT.—The copperheads lately, in winding up their meetings, have adopted
a new order of business. They now invariably “hurrah for the Union.” The partisan press next morning
takes especial pains to notice the fact that the meeting closed with this reliable and positive evidence of
the loyalty of the Democrats.
COPPERHEAD MEETING.—The allies of the rebels held a palaver on the corner of Broad and
Pine streets last night, but we go to press too early to give a synopsis. More about the affair tomorrow.

ROBINSON’S SPEECH—INCIDENTS.—Few incidents marked the delivery of Tod Robinson’s
speech on Friday night. It was a tame speech. Tod was by no means so eloquent as he used to be when
a stumper for the Whigs. He seem constrained and to want for language. It was easy to see he was not
speaking his real sentiments. He is a rebel at heart, as we all know, and of which we have the proof, and
to play the role of a Union man went against the grain badly. He made no points. In the outset he gave
the Democrats an account of his birth and nursing which, judging from the openness of their mouths,
they were deeply interested in. He sucked a nigger wench, of course, probably two of them, which may
account for his idea of being superior to the negro. It has been noticed that sucking two cows makes a
very superior calf.
There seemed to be a leading claquer for the occasion whose business it was to start the clap when
applause was wanted. Tod alluded to an attempt which he said was being made to deify a negro wench. .
.. The question was put to Tod, if he had not a son in the rebel army. He owned up, but said the boy went
without his sanction, which does not tally very well with the remarks he has made elsewhere on the same
point. Tod was remarkably bitter on the Administration, but as he brought forth nothing new, we pass him
without further remark. ...
GREAT COMPLIMENT.—The best acknowledgment of the complete loyalty of Nevada was paid
