A DEsPERArE Ru>TY-cUsS

Sometwo or three weeks since We publish
ed over the signature Of - Rust!-cns " an
illiserate production sen. to US from Calhoun,
Harrison County, Iowa. We accompanied
said communication with some remarks of n
playful Notwithstanding, among other
things, that ..Rusti cus' was the ''coming
man." and would settle the National dificul-
ties-the praiecs be had in view in ind,ing
the communication which be sent US to pub
iish. These remarks, instead Of inducing
''Rassi-cus" to keep on in the good work of
sariny this country, only served to bring the
powerful blows Of this youthful, chivalrous
ilotspur upon our own unworthy head .
What madness, for person of the genius
and temperament of ''Rusti- cus"-a!Ias c.
c. PERLEY to stop saving the Union,
merely to pitch into the editor Of Ito use his
own wordsl a" little dirty sheet !" Alas |!
and how are the mighty fallen
"Rusti-cus," hail Though the name
uader which you have thus far given your
literary efforts to the public, is not remarka-
bic for its euphouiousness, it is nevertheless
siDgu,arly appropriate, and perfectly char
acteris:ic. That you are Rusty, none feel
disposed to deny after reading your produc-
sions without the Unnecessary corrections"
That you are "Cus" GA desperate one
none could doubt, even if they felt so dis
posed, after conteiE plating the following:
az would say to the Yoaparett if anything more

rely upon arrival in the stage, the next afternoon
and the only way escape thrahns Will be to make

| l. there anything more needed to convince
the public that the pedagogue Of Calhoun,
! Ilnrrison County, Iowa, is a ''drefful" man !?
We opine not. We quake in our boots I!
/ We tremble, from the ..crown of our head to
! the sole Of our foot .'-ani have we not
renson? Verify, We have-for has not this
"Rustic cus' already expended three cents,
. (fora postage stamp) consumed much time,
ink and paper, and ''rarished { oh what a
naughty ''Cus" y sundry Dictionaries" to
mcts out to Us ''merited castgntion?' Yea,
verify. And will he not dsconnect himself
from enough money to pay his passage in the
stage to this city, in order that he may give
US n "thrnshing?" Has he not said it /:
Will man whe has ''ravished" sundry die
tionaries that he might hunt us down, prove
rccreans to promise given the public
through a newspaper? Perish so unjust q
suspicion. "Rusti-cus tciN come-u.
