SEPTEMBER 10Th, 1860.

SEPTEMBER 20th, 1860.
- Company G. of the 7th Regiment of
Virginia Volunteers, was engaged in the
desperate battle Of the 17th inst. at this
place. We took 40 men into action and
had Is wounded. The following is a list
of the names of the wounded:
1st Lieut.. John A. .Fleahman, in head.
Sergt. John Dakan, in side.
Sergt. James A. Vaughan, in leg.

We regret to state that amputation was
necessary in the case of Michael w. Mar
tin. Smith j. Dailey's wound is danger
Gus, the ball passing through both cheeks.
We have the most sanguine expectations
that the others are not dangerous :;
The Rough and Ready Guards" and
the s.Graysville Wildcats" behaved nobly
during the engagement, and fully sustain
ed the reputation of Old Monroe. We
cannot too highly recommend the deter
mined bravery of the entire Regiment, as
they stood amidst shower of musketry
for nearly 3 hours. We would be doing
injustice to Major Lockwood to forget to
mention his gallant conduct in riding
along the lines and encouraging his men.
His horse received balls, and his canteen
was pierced by musket ball, yet he es-
capped unhurt.
Our Colonel also behaved nobly, his
horse also being shot times, another ball
being checked by a book in his saddle
bags.
Our Regiment went into the action with
about 800 men, and had 29 killed and liz
wounded. Out Of Captains that went
into the engagement one was killed and
one wounded ss4 Is
Lieut.. Shriver in command of Compa-
ny K, was killed, also Lieut. Swartz in
command of Company c, was killed, and
Lieuts. Gurvey of Company I, and Kraus
of Company B, were wounded.
Since being over the battle fold, we are
of the opinion that the enemy have lost
| three to our one.
Yours, &C.,

President that the rebels were menaciDy

Hall5ck and conferred with him in re-

Interview with Mcclellan resulted, and
he was asked to accept the commando

could move him from bis purpose. Find

reply, ~ am not the man for the posi-

SUFFERING IN MINNESOTA The In
dian massacres in Minnesota have pro
duced great distress among the settlers
all along the frontier counties. Appeals
TOR contributions to aid them are being
made in the principal cities, and no object
OF charity can be more pressing and wor-
thy. The Governor of Minnesota states
that at least thirty thousand miserable
men, heart-broken women and abiect
children arc wandering, homeless, naked
and starving. Certainly our country af-
lords no parallel Of suffering such as this.
Clothing is greatly needed by the suf-
ferins, for the rigors of winter are close

II. A. VAN DYKE.
Keokuk, Oct. %, 1862.

We give publicity 10 the above com
municatlon, that our citizens may have
an opporiunity Of seeing what effect the
teachings of abolition fanatics produce
on ignorant and unprlncipled persons
Here is fair sample Of that intelerant
and lawlcss spirit which has ever been
the ruling passion OF abolitionis.s gen-
orally. No law, no oath, no moral sen
tments ever govern such men. They
assume that they are always right, end
that anv one who disagree. with them
III opinion, either in religion or politics,
is "inf mous" and ought to be hanged
and tina. they are the righttul judo es
and executioDers, by virtue of their OWL
peculiar sanctfication AID parity.
Here Is a poor, deluded person, who
claims to be loyal citizen OF this city,
who IL so demcnted as to think he can
lind one thousand other citizens In this
CITY who would be base enough to at
tempt to destroy our life and orr prop
crty, for the honest expression OF cur
opinion on questions which threaten,
not only the destruction of our country,
but the dearest and most sacred rights
OF every citizen in the Free States. We
shail never advocate or tolerate mob9c-
racy, in any form whatever, towards
anybody. for expressions OF Their opu-
lou, no matter how erroneous we may
consider them to be. Neither will we
be deferred from the expression OF our
own.
This paper has been, aud will contin-
nc to be, the defender of the laws OF
onr country. We sec daily the effect O.
lis violation in the terrible civil war
no" 'aging in the South, and we shall
ever do all IN orr power to prevent such
scenes occurring N this city, or any
where else in the free Sta os.
We arc sorry to know that We have
am ong rs such men as the writer Of this
threatening letter to us. Ii is great
misfortune, and snch men must be kept
IN check by the strong arm of the law,
as wei as by intoxicating through the
conservative press a higher moral senti
inent, and respect OF law among the
people, than has been the case with the
radicals Tor years past, or else our own
streets may be made 10 run with tue
blood OF our own citizens. No one can
read the letter which We here publish
without seeing the same spirit manifes-
led IN It's author which rcigned supreme
in P'vis during the bloody French Rev
CLINTON. No man can believe for a mo
ment that any mob can sack our office
without the shedding Of the blood OF
our citizens, and nobody bnt mean,
contemplate, and cowardy mobocrat
would threaten to do SO. Ne shall not
be deferred from doing cur duty as a
Journalist as VIC understand II. neither
by threats nor acts Of violence fiom any
source whatever, and even should II cost
US our life. we you'd surrender it before
we would surrender the PRINCIPLES
taught us by the immortal statesmen.

loving extracts, and for the mante

A Mass Of Copper weighing - Tens
Found.

A mass Of Copper weishisg e Tens
Found.
From ths Hoashtss Il. Z. Gazette, Oct. Ill
The ~iig thing at the Mesnard has
proved . reality, having been eIhumed
during the present week, and visited by
nearly every man in the district Sew
eral other important discoveries have
also been made in conjunction with 1t.
The mass lies about two hundred feet
south of the large exploring trench made
some two years ago, and between the
Albany and Boston, and what is known
as the epidote veins. But little Of the
mass was above the surface when dis
covered, and that little was SO covered
by moss and small underbrush as to
hardly attract attention. Upon being
uncovered, and the soil removed from
around its sides, traces of Indian work
ings were foubd-pieces Of charcoal,
and half dozen stone hammers were
taken out, and the eastern end OF the
mass shows plainly that a portion had
been broken off. The average dimen-
s;ons are-ength, Is feet inches !;
width, 3 feet inches; it Is full feet
inone place-,hickness, foot 6 inches !;
giving s7,l35 cubic feet. All these
measurements are rather under than
above the average. One measurement
gave $50 cubic feet, but we consider
the first figures the most reliable. They
would give the weight of the mass as
90 tons, 1924 lbs. There is bnt little
vein rock attached to the block, yet there
is sufficient to identify it as having
come from the epidote lode. 1t also
shows, by the sharp angles Of the rock,
that the mass has not been removed far
from it's original bed, and, OF course, it
is not the only one 10 be found in tLs
locality.
