The Death of Gen. Lyon.

The army correspondent of the Dubuque
Herald has some particulars of the death ol
Gen. Lyon, which we have not seen in any
other paper:
Soon after the fight commenced, Gen.
Lyon saw how fearfully the enemy out
numbered him, and he gave up the day as
lost. From that time he seemed utterly
regardless Of life, and in fact seemed scarce
ly conscious of anything. A ball struck
him in the leg, to which he paid no atten-
ton, and soon after another struck him in
the head, infictiug severe flesh wound
He bled freely, but refused to move out Of
the line of fire. The Iowa regiment were
occupying the brow of the hill to the right
of the battery, and were exposed to gal
ling fire from the woods in front. Gen.
Lyon stood calmly few steps in the rear of
the color company, bareheaded, with balls
hailing around him in frightful quantities.
"If some one will lead us, we will clear that
woods with the bayonet." II will lead you!
says he, and at that instant ball entered
his breast passing through his body just
above the heart. He fell instantly, and
after reaching the ground said:
Ioca Regiment, you are brave bous!" A
little later he grew weaker-his last words
were "FoRwARD, MY BRAVE MEN, l WILL
LEAD YoUp He did not live dozen Sec
onds after being struck by the last ball.

Hecnan Against the Rest of Mann
Kind.

John G. Heenan the great bruiser has
challenged all England for fght-the
stakes to be $4,000. He offers even to
go to England, again, despite his former
unfair treatment, for 1000 pounds side.
He prefers, however, to fight on this side
of the water-say in Canada-and in that
case will allow his antagonist five hundred
pounds for his expenses, or the same allow
ance to be made if he fights in England.
He says:
"On these terms (which l believe are as
fair rs can be made) l will meet Mace, or
any other man whom Englishmen may
prefer, for the Championship of the two
hemispheres; and if the latter portion of
my offer is the most acceptable, 1 will go
to England as l went before, alone and
without local influence, and test again, by
still more deliberate verdict, the force Of
the other British rnaxum, which infers that
the best man may be allowed to win, even
though he be stranger, and not a Briton
born.

EBy reference to Treasurer Raiffs
notice in another column it will be seen
that all township funds will be paid to the
Treasurers in gold. Mr.. Raft has went to
considerable trouble and expense, all of
which he sustaius himself, in furnishino
The people of this county with a sound eur.
rency. The people should show their ap-
precIation of the efficient and satisfactory
manner in which he has discharged the
duties of his office by re-electing him BY
tremendous majority.-Farmer.
Though probably not intentional on the
part of the Treasurer, yet the policy he has
adopted of converting the paper of Banks
located in this part of Ohio into gold and
paying it out on county orders, is working
. twofold injury TO the business men of
Millersburg. In the first place, by these
Banks refusing them loans, knowing that
their paper will in a very short time
find its way into the Treasury and thence
back to them for the gold. Secondly, nine
out of ten of those who get the gold on
their orders lay it by, instead of paying
their debts with it as would be the case
in most instances, had they been paid in
Bank bills. Now, if Banking institutions
are necessary, as all acknowledge they
are, and ours are perfectly safe, what is
the use of pursuing policy which works
no good to Mr.. RAIFF, or anybody else,
cripples the Banks in their operations and
does his best friends two-fold injuryG Mr..
R. has made very obliging and efficient
officer and we desire to call his attention
to some of the consequences of policy,
which though not intended to injure his
fellow citizens, still has that effect.

@Two prisoners, captain in the 4th
Michigan and the the assistant quarter
master I'd Rhode Island regiment, escaped
from Richmond and made good their ar
rival on the Potomac below Aqua creek,
after nine days travelling. They built a
raft, and started TO work across the river,
but were taken from their frail bark by the
gunboat Union, and brought to Washing
ton.
They stated that the feeling and talk is
strong in Richmond to march upon Wash
ington. Our men (prisoners) there are
crowded into small rooms, and they are in
differently cared for, though in their let
ters they are obliged to intimate that eve
ry attention is paid to their comfort.

~The "Soldiers' Picnic" at Oxford,
in this county, on Saturday last, was de-
cided success. The number in attendance
was very large, the fare provided and serv-
ed up gratis by the citizens of that town
and vicinity was enough and good what
there was Of it. Three powerful speeches
were made on the occasion, whose force
can best be guessed at when tits told that
each of the speakers made over five thou
sand converts to his peculiar doctrines by
their extraordinary eloquence and unan-
swerable and never-to-be-equaled reasoning.

The Public Pulse i'm New Orleans

A letter very lately received from New
Orleans, written by a lady to her friends
in the North-a lady of Intelligence and
refinement: Wife, too, of one of che first
business men in Louisiana-says that the
Union sentiment is growing daily stronger
in New Orleans. The writer says the day
of deliyerance from Secession rule will be
ioyfully hailed in Louisiana, and should
Federal forces make stand along the
lower river, Louisiana would very prompt
ly and very willingly renew her allegiance
to tho Union.
This lady says, had she dictatorial au-
thority, her first move would be to arrest
the commander of tho Brooklyn, and put
man on board above suspicion.

Sickness OF THE SOUTHERN TRooPs.-
In the reports which reach us of the con-
dition of the insurgent army South of the
Potomac, we constantly hear that large
number of their soldiers are suffering from
sickness, and their power for vigorous
movements is thus much impaired. The
prevailing diseases among them are the
mumps, smallpox, and measles; while
among the Northern troops, there has been
little if any similar sickness.

~Tbe Loco leaders in this State talk

EEThe Loco leaders in this State talk
very much about conducting the war with
vigor, and with liberal profers of peace to
the Rebels, that is to say, of compromise
and concession. But listen to what the
heroic ANDREW JOHNSON says on this SUBJ
ject:
Traitors and Rebels are standing with
arms in their hands, and it is said we must
90 forward and compromise with them.-
They are in the wrong; they are making
war upon the Government; they are try
ing to upturn and destroy our free institu-
tions. say to them that the compromise
l have to make under the existing circum-
stances is, ground your arms; obey the
laws; acknowledge the supremacy of the
Constitution; when you do that l will
talk to you about compromise. AH the
compromise I haze to make as the Con-
stitution of the United States.
This is the only ground on which any
man who is not mere party hack, or a
traitor at heart, can safely stand. And it
is the ground on which the loyal People of
all parties have placed themselves.
