SEcIKrARY CoBB AND DIsUNIoN.-The New
York Erenisg Post, and other prints politically
akin to that journal, are just now busily engaged
In hunting mares nest all about Secretary Cobb.
The mares nest aforesaid charges that gentleman
with being over ears deep In a bloody conspiracy
for the destruction Of the Union between the 9th
proximo and the 9TH Of March next II Lincoln be
elected. We need hardly say that there IL truth
whatever In any such story, which doubtless has
been gotten out Of some casual expression Of Mr.
.sopinion that In the event Of Mr. Lincoln's cleo
ton serious movement towards disunion by the
authorities Of several Of the Southern States may be
anticipated fact now 70 patent that all men not
determined to close their eyes to the evidences Of
their senses, realize its truth.
As general appreciation Of the fact on the part
Of the people Of New York before the 9th prox:mo
may possibly defeat the Lincoln electoral ticket,
the game Of the Post and its friends Ii to attract
public attention from IL to some such matter a. its
mares nest referred to above. There never was
a more unmitigated political roorback promulga-
ted shortly before an election, than Its Cobb con-
spiracy story; nor a meaner one. u
Apropos: A correspondent ofth NewYork Times
lets the cat out Of the bag In stating that the charge
grows out Of a revelation made by some of.cef
Of the Treasury Department to Mr.. Lackey, a re-
moved clerk, previous to his removal; adding
that his removal grew out Of the indignation man.
ifested by Mr. l.. on discovering that hgh officers
Of the Government were engaged In such plot
Here, where all the circumstances resulting In the
removal Of MIR. Lackey are well known, the pub
location Of the story Of the Tinrss' correspondent
has caused the whole thing to be received with a
horse-laugh throughout Washington. IT 10 thus
made plain that this bloody-conspiracy case
amounts simply to an effort 10 account grand.
iloquenty for the removal Of departmental clerk
few Of whom are ever removed without essaying
to impress the public with the belief that there
| is something wrong In the act Of the removing
power, behind the reason alleged for that act,
| which, IL known to the world, would crush the
| tyrant and make a martyr, II not hero, Of his
victim.
We were this morning incidentally assured by
the officer Of the Treasury Department alleged to
| have made the terrible revelation to Mr. Lackev
that he has never enjoyed the honor Of that gen.
tleman's acquaintance; never having laid eyes on
him, to the best Of his knowledge and belief.
An IMPORTANT LErrER.-It is being said ali
| over this city, to-day, that Mr.. VIM. l.. Hodge
(who was Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
under the Fillmore administration, II will be re.
membered, y has received letter from the Hon
Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, who has been spending
some days at Springfield, H., In close communi.
cation with Lincoln, wherein Mr.. Cofwin writes
that l.. assures him Of his determination II
elected rigidly to enforce the fugitive slave law
every where throughout the non.slaveholdIng
States.

Ridiculous.
RAM, of the Whitewater (Wis.) Regis.
ter copies our "Big Andy" challenge and
comments as follows:
We always, heretofore, gave RICHARDSON,
Of the McGregor Times, credit for consider
able modcsty, but the above from his paper
of this week, puts ''long chalk" on the
other side of his account.
We have only to say that We will fight
Mr.. Gaffney for $4,000, cash in advance
the fight to end when either party 'hollers.'
The Col. will please to either accept this
offer Of ours or 'dry up"
RAM is evidently trying Ito make fun"
of our champion and unless he ''dries up
he may get into difficulty. By the terms
of the challenge it will be seen that Mr..
GAFFNEY, and not his opponent, will receive
the money at the conclusion of the fight +!
BY the rules of the P. R., man is not al
lowed to ''holler'' till he is struck, and il
Andy feels of RAMS mug with his right
maulcy there will be a sudden call for
shrouding and walnut lumber at Whitwa-
ter.
The Editor of the Register should not
ridicule solemn things.

GUTTA PERcHA CEMENT RooFING.-We
invite the attention of our readers to the ad-
vertisement of Messrs. Johns & Crosley,
N. T., in another column.
The numerous experiments made for the
last few years, to produce substitute for
tin, slate and shinglc roofs, have at last led
to perfect triumph in the Gutta Percha
Cement Roofing offered by these gentle
men.
Possessing, in great degree, the features
of elasticity, lis qualification of Roofing
Cement actually necessary and long sought
after,) durability and cheapness, combined
with the fact that it is weather and fire
proof, it's general adoption cannot be too
earnestly urged.
This Cement is recommended in the high
est terms by the New York & Eric r. r.
Co., and also by the officers of the leading
Insurance Companies throughout the coun-
try.

At the Chicago Convention we met ac-

two named gentlemen we had never met be-

gent, full of humor and Democracy; he is
boss of one Of the ablest journals of the
State, the Iowa City Reporter. DAVENPORT
is young and good-looking, glories in fun,

An Excursion.
Prairie du Chicn and McGregor are about

posed to leave either port about the 18th of
June on the steamer MILWAUKEE, Capt.

possible; see Minnehaha and the other n.y.
perborean curiosities, and return in three
or four days from the time of starting. The
Milwaukee, (if list of so passengers can
he obtained) will carry the excursionists at
half price, the Captain and Clerks throw

wishes to join the expedition, and that the
Band of that place volunteer their harmo-
NOUS company. Mr.. WILSON Of the band
was here on Saturday, and pledged ten or
twelve couple of the Wnnesheiks, for the
trip The band consists Of ten members,
with brass instruments on deck, and string
music in the cabin, for dancing. Now who
will set this ball in motion? How many
McGregor couples will go? When will you
start? Who will see the Captain of the
Milwaukee, make the arrangements and
advise us of the day of departure?

New Carlisle, Ind.


This village and its vicinity was our home
for twenty years and it is not strange that
we are interested in whatever pertains to
its welfare. A lady, young and beautiful,
writes us from Carlisle that the country
there is dreadfully lonesome, that the boys
have all gone to P. P. and that the girls
fare dying with that popular malady called
the blues" She says if there arc any young
men at McGregor who have good carriages
and fast horses and want first rate wives,
they can have their choice of several ex-
cellent girls, warranted to be good natured
and we'll qualified housekeepcrs. If they
cannot come TO sec the candidates for mat
rimony, they are requested to to write to
them, and thus get up an epistolary &C
quaintancc. The names of the ladies are
given us as ready for the fun of mail cor
respondence they are LucY ROSE, CYNTHIA
PARKER and ANN JOHNSON. Lucy is DEM
ocrat, Cynthia John Brown Abolitionist,
and Ann is Lincoln girl The two form
er want to marry; the latter is confirmed,
young-"old maid," and does not want
husband particularly, though she would not
object to an accomplished and wealthy gen.
tleman who can split or hundred
rails per day!
We gladly comply with the wishes Of
our friends Ohough we know neither Of
them by the names sent us) and trust that
gentlemen of leisure who are fond of the
pen and ink amusement will commence at
once to address these frolicsome girls. If
we could cheat the "better half'' at home
IAN impossibility y we would assume to be
boy again and fairly inundate the impress
siblc girls of Carlisle with "Love Letters"
but we arc married, "the tightcst kind" and
there is no use talking about the luxury of
a stolen correspondence.
