Pic Nc AND DAMcE-The citizens Of Daven-
port give Pic Mic to the soldiers in Camp Nc
Clellan Friday last. Two thousand soldiers
wore very abundantly fed and handsomely en-
tertained. After the feeding there was dance,
in which the feminines we're all monopolised BY
the gentlemen with shoulder straps. Our in-
formant who occupies two pages in telling Us
the above, says the soldiers have good quarters
and abundant rations. asge s.9t ~
rH- The sister of the late Col. Cameron having
written to Beauregard for some positive infor-
nation as to the fate of her brothers corpse,
learned from him that with the other dead he had
been inferred about 200 yards from the house Of
Mrs Dogan, and that miniature of the Colonel
and his wife, now in the hands of private,
would be restored as soon as the termination of
hostilities permitted. !,
EThe Champion belt made in England for
Keenan,, and which he declined because not
paid for, WAS lately sold with other unredeemed
pledges in London for fifty one guineas, to Ben

H-It turns out, as We apprehended it would,
that the article printed in the Hawk-Eye yes
terday, from the Davenport Gazette, is entirely
false in every material point. See letter Of
Judge Mason in another column.
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION. Edwards.
of Lucas County, was nominated for Congress,
Wednesday last at Oskaloosa, blythe Union Con-,
vention. Judge Edwards is agood and true
man. The most we can say against him is, he is
Member of the Lower House of the Iowa Legs
lature and presided as Speaker at the extra Ses-
sion. His nomination is, however, inoportune
and Of no more use than the 9Th wheel of
wagon. His candidacy in the present state of
the contest can do no good to himself or any
one else save Jarius &. Neall This is very ap'
parent to every one and probably as much SO to-
Mr. Edwards as any body else. He will un.
doubtedly resign. r;is
The Louisville Journal gives, as reliable, the
history of, AN escape Of an Union man, named
Mclaughlin, from the South which makes ro-
nance look tame beside it. j He was second
overseer Of Gov. Romans plantation, and for
merly sailor, to which fact his success In re,
covering his liberty is to be attributed. After
the battle Of Manassas he was impressed into the
rebel army; ne got weeks delay, however, and
struck for the swamp. Resting hy day and ira
yelling by night, living on corn and such things
as he could pick up, he arrived at Memphis, and
was aided by the Union men there. On pro-
ceeding he met, 40 miles this side OF that city, a
corporal und five men who searched him and
took him back as a deserter. Placed under
guard he made them drunk, and in state Of
complete nudity, save his shirt, once more he
struck for thf North. On the second day he
heard the blood hounds on his track, bnt saved
himself by throwing behind him piece Of raw
hide, taken from shed, and taking to the wa
ter. On the fifth day he met a negro and begged
him to furnish him with pair Of pants and q
box Of matches. The negro gave him the last
but not the first. He then succeeded in stealing
pair of pants. He at last arrived at Lafayette,
was taken on board the train, and reached Louis.

IA wretch named Burns has just been
hung in Montreal for the murder of his child by
his own daughter. He had wife and two
daughters, and it came out on the trial that he
had frequent incestuous intercourse with his
children. His sons were the witnesses of the
murder of the iniant '3-H .
EY The Page Go. Herald describes the wild
fruit of that region as most abundant, especially
pluns. The woods for several days have been
full of picking parties, but hundreds of bushels
will rot on the trees and be consumed by the
hogs. Some Of these wild specimens measured
five inches in circumference.
