u 8. MoNutt, Esq, associate editor of
the Dubuque Herald, was in the city, Tuesday, and
win spend week or two with his friends in this
county. He bears his defeat for the Legislature
(occasioned BY . division in his own party with
eommsndabls resignation. He appears to be too
ardent Douglas man to suit the straight :Democ-
racy Of Dubuque.
a. Lieut.. Coppic, one of old Ossawoto.
mic Browns men, is . young Quaker, from the
springdale neighborhood, in Cedar county, where
old Brown himself was quartered several weeks in
the summer of 1858 with number of runaway
slaves. We doubt very much, however, whether
the staid Quaksrs of springdals approve the rash
doings Of Brown and Coppic at Harper's Ferry. I
A Susassnos. - The season of long
evening" is again Il hand, which too many persons,
especially the young, spend in idlsness or worse
than nleness ut some place of vicious amusement.
Wesaggest that polemical associations be organ
lied for literary exercises, in order that al who
are % disposed may spend the long evenings profit
ably. Who will take the lead in this matter!

a. We had hoped to receive telegraphic
dispatches today, with some thing definite concern
ing the trial of the Harper's Ferry conspirators,
but the line il down. We expect momentarily to
hear of the conviction and execution of Brown and
1aek
the progress of the trial says there was an evident
intention to hurry the trial through and execute the
prisoners d soon possible, for fear of attempts
being made to rescue them. In cases of servile in
surrection thirty days is not required between the
conviction and execution, As in other capital
victions.
"INDI AN SUMNER" with its hasy and serene
atmosphere, is here. We might speak of the gossa-
mers flying in the air. 'the sere, the yellow leaf"
ETC., etc but leave such pretty talk to the poets
simply Remaining that our Indian Summers are our
most delightful seasons and rival the pleasantest
sxperisnced in "Italias fair clims,' 20 celebrated
in song and story. By-the-way, We give to-day q
seasonable efusion on the subject from one of our
home poets, which our readers will perceive savors
Of true Parnassian fire.
