On the evening Of the 25th ult, while Dan
Rce's Circus was exhibiting at Coxsackie, N
T., dispute arose between two men belong

which ended in Decker's being SO badly beaten

to be implicated were arrested, one of whom
gave his name as John Rivers, the other refu-

The Har1nonlou. Democracy.

There are Two Democratic newspapers pub-
lished at Dubuque. One of them is called the
NORTH West" and is edited and published BY
Col. Heath, the Post Master of that city the
other is called the express and Herald" and is
owned and published by the same J. B. Dorr
who received from the celebrated DR.. Eads
$4,000 of the public school money. These
papers are issued within stones throw Of each
other, and both support the Democratic State
ticket. The NORTHWEST" contends that the
Democratic State Platform favors Lecompton-
ism and the Administration, and repudiates, in
effect, "Sqatter Sovereignty" and the editor
proves to the satisfaction of all the Office
holders and Administration Democrats in the
State that Gen. Dodge is not, and never was,
and neoer will be "Squatter Sovereignty
Douglas Democrat. The Express and Herald"
on the other hand, shows to the entire satisfac.

New HARVESTING MACHINE.-John P. Nanny,
Of Rockford, has added new kink to harvest
ing machines, that gives finishing touch to the
reaper. According to the Rockford News q
machine for binding the grain as fast as it is
cut, is attached to common Nanny reaper
As the wheat is cut it falls upon canvass plat
form, which revolves upon the principle Of an
endless chain, and carries the wheat up to the
cradle. Here the bundle is pressed by an in
genous piece Of mechanism, string is bound
round it knOtted SO as to catch on peculiarly
shaped iron holder. As soon az the knot is
caught, for it is not tied, the bundle falls by a
revolution of the cradle, which is ready by this
time TO receive and close up another sheaf of
wheat. Each bundle must have a string and an
iron brace, all Of which are durable, and will
cost but trihe an acre at first. The above
journal also remarks as follows of the extent Of
the labor-saving process effected by this ma
chine: 1t usually requires five men to follow a
reaping machine, to rake, bind and the like, but
with one of these machines, the driver and
man to attend the binder are all that are re-
quired. One of these machines will therefore
save ten dollars day during the harvest season
to the farmer.-Galena Adyer.

A CASE or PoIsoSISG.-A family named
Brann0D, who reside in the western part Of this
city, we're taken suddenly sick. last Sunday
evening, coon after having partaken OF their
supper. DR.. Berkey was sent for, and be pro-
nounced the symptoms such Is usually follow
the use Of strycbnine. All the parties have
nearly or entirely recovered from the sickness,
and no serious results to them are likely 10 fol-
low. In the meantime one Mr.. Rosey was sus.
pected Of having administered poison BY ming
ling it with their food, and q warrant was issu-
ed for his arrest. He was brought before Esq.
Leedham, and preliminary examination was
held. The Justice deemed the evidence sufi-
GENTLY strong against the accused to warrant
him in holding the said Rosey to bail for his ap-
pearance at Court in the sum Of 81, 900, failing
to give which he was committed to jail.-Mt

EDUcArIoHAL-Ws we're very glad to re-
ceive call from Rev. Mr. Ind and Prof. Rober,
In behalf Of our University. Their look shows
that they are favorably received BY our citizens,
and that the one dollar effort 10 behalf OF the
College bids fair to succeed. These gentlemen
wish TO obtain fve hundred one dollar subscrip-
tons in Burlington, to meet the present
exigencies .ot the Institution. The times arc
hard, but We know our citizens feelan interest in
the education Of their children, and will be
ready TO help in this good undertaking. For
the credit Of our city and the good Of our
families let every one respond to the call BY :
cheerful contribution Of ons dollar. Ifthefe be
failure to realize the amount they ere trying
to secure We shall rather attribute 1t to
want Of skill on the part Of the agents than
want Of liberali.y on the part Of our COM
munty.

OF slave representation in Congress to thereby
strengthen the slave oligarchists. He belongs to
q party that refuses to grant homestead 10
the poor, white men OF his own State. General
Dodge may profess to favor the passage OF such
law-6ut every man of sense must see at
once, that his election would tend to strengthen
the opposition to the measure, by aiding to
build up the party that opposes it. Every one
can judge how sincere the Generals professions
on this subject are, by the fact, that, but for
the vote Of George w. Jones, who, General
Dodge declares, :" never lodges responsible
ty or fails to perform duty" the homestead
bill would have passed the Senate and become
law at the last session of Congress.

| How ONE FEELS IN BATrLK.-In an account
OF the battle Of Montebello written BY Young
non-commissioned, French officer to newspaper I
at home, he says:
Our officers kept us back, for We were not
numerous enough to charge upon the enemy
This was, moreover most prudent, for this MUIR
derous fire-so fatal to the white coats-did US
but little harm. Our concal balls penetrated
their dense asses, while those of the Austrians
whis.ed by our ears and respected our persons.
II was the FIRST time had faced FIRE. nor was I
the only one. Well, | am satisfied With myself
True, lodged the FIRST balls, but Henry w.,
they say, did theisame at the beginning Of every,
battle. Its, in fact, physical effect, indepen-
dent Of the will.
But, this tribute paid, if you could only feel
how each shot electriies you. II il like vhip
on racers legs. The balls whistle past You.
turn up the earth around you, kill one. wound
another, and you hardly notice them. You
grow intoxicated, the smell Of the powder
mounts to your brain. The eye becomes blood
shot and its look is fixed upon the enemy. There
is something of Ill the passions IN that terrible
passion excited in q soldier by the sight OF blood
and the tumult of battle.
Everybody who has tried it, testi6es to the
peculiar intoxicaton that is produced by being
in battle. There is an infatuating influence
about the smell Of powder, the shriIl whistle Of
bullet. and the sight Of human blood, that
instantly transforms men from towards to
heroes-from women sometimes to monsters
None can tell Of the nature or mystery of that
influence, but those who have been in the frsy
themselves
