n1A few weeks ago, the following paragraph
appeared in the Madisonian, the organ OF Mr. ~
Ter, at Washington:
"Thc following note was written on the outside
Of letter received on Sunday at ono OF the pubic
Offices, from Chicago, Illinois: "A battle has been
fought between the Mormons and nti-Mormons.
The extra says thirty forty were killed or wound
ed. The Governor has gone down with two hun
bred men,"
The story was certainly very improbable one,
but the editor had not the means of knowing tho
truth or fas.y of its statements, he told the tale as
I was told TO him, letting it go for what 1t was
worth. The statements being incorrect, the incom-
parable matter-offact sub-editor of the Hawkeye
thus gives the editor whack under the fifth rib for
his credulity:
alt will appear from the following lforegoingl
paragraph 1--WE punctuate according to copyJ winch
we clip from a late number of the Madsonlan that
that veracous print has been most egreglously num-
bueged by some body. We are not surprised when
we lind such presses as the New York Herald and
others of kindred character, which exist only ny
astonishing their readers with raw head and bloody
bones stories, without caring whether the same are
true or false promulgatng news wholly without
foundation; but when the Government organ per-
n,its itself to be imposed upon by such silly tales,
and gives them to its readers with such gravity we
are forced to wonder that ever John Tyler should
employ as his mouth piece such creducus speci-
men Of humanity as John Jones of the Madisonl-
am
What John Tyler suffer man to be his friend
who cannot tell the truth from fabrication by
looking at the manuscript! Shame on YOU John
Jones; shame on you, John Tyler. Bad bust
ness for you both, this giving such woful stories
with such gravity; but you may both be
clever fellows let US see if we can find precedent
for this shameful shortsightedness in you, and if we
can, the Madisonan may, perhaps, longer be toera-
ted, and Mr.. Tyler permitted to serve out his term.
If we remember Alright, tive years ego last winter,
the editor of the Hawkcye gave to the tales Of
Madam Rumor, and the editor of this paper was
SAID to have found watery grave, which created
all the anxiety among his relatives that the loss of
son or brother could create, to say nothing of 9TH
er friends, while the truth was he was with his fcl-
low volunteers picturing out glorious victory over
tho hostile enemy on the Missouri border. Well,
this helps little 10 show that John Jones was not
the only man that was humbugged, as we yet live
TO stir up the Hawkeye occasionally. But this is
not the only instance can cite. Less than one
year ago, some wag, more fond Of fun than truth,
sent to the Hawkcyc what purported to be an &C.
count of the accidental drowning of three or four
men in the Iowa river, near Wapello, about thirty
miles from Burlington. The bait took, and tho sad
Of the unfortunate, with the coincidence of the
Hawkeye; and it so turned out that the unfortunate
got nothing more than cool ducking. Such sto-
ries susceptible Of proof or to be disproved in a
day. when told as in sorrow, DO great Injury to such
as may feel interested in the matter, so we think
John Jones the most excusable Of the two.
We were not surprised when found such a
press as the Hawkeye, which lives by lying, pro-
mitigating stories without foundation, throwing
frinds into grief; but when Governor Chambers per-
mittcd such press as the Hawkeye to assume to be
his organ without denying its authority to give his
feelings and sentiments, thought it good testimo-
ny that he could see 40 farther into blacksmths
anvil, barring all holes than blind man; but when
he kicked its editor out Of the Council House a,
the Agency, we thought the scales were beginning
to fall from his eyes, but surprised that he did
not kick him out of his presence long before. We
have since been little surpriscd-that when Old
Hawk raised money enough to travel on, he didn't
get sub that knew better than to throw stones
while the tenant of glass house. Shame on John
Tyler, shame on John Jones, shame on John Cham
hers, shame on Old Hawk, and also upon bis incom-
parable mattcr-of-lact SUBJ
We would suggest to our town authorities
| the propriety of the immediate passage of an crdi-
nance prohibiting, under severe penalties, such hud
noises, as have been made by full grown and lit
tie boys, in Streets for three or four nights with
in the last ten days. Aside from their disturbance
| of the quiet of the town, their influence upon the
