taken prisoners. The officers were held and

The government is peculiarly fortunate in
having these men just at this time. 1t is

to three other regiments. 9Hf "a
There were eight companies aboard, number
ing about five hundred men. The men were
very bitter at their officers for the surrender
of Murfreesboro, avowing the place could have
been held if there had been some one to com.
mand them.

One day last week, Judge Thayer, editor of
the Courier, and Democratic candidate for
Congress, peremptorily refused to accept
proposition from the editor of this paper to
60 to war, saying he believed he could do
more good with his pen than with gun.
Two days afterwards, smarting under the de-
nunciations of the public, who saw through
the thin guise of patriotism with which he
clothed himself, he changed his mind; and
we have in his Saturdays issue the declara-
ton made over his own signature that he has
re-considered his former decision-given up
the darling object of his life to ''run" the
Courier and run out the JoURNAL--and is
now ready to enlist provided, (well what ?
that some strong, able bodied, athletic, young
man like himself will go ?-no D-provided a
certain respectable old gentleman ABOVE THE
LAWFUL AGE for being received into the seevice
will go! If Hiram Price "can be persuaded
to accept this proposition" will 60, says the
Judge.
"How we apples swimr' When did Judge
Thayer become the equal of Hiram Price?
"On what meat doth this Caesar feed,
That he hath grown so great?"
Judge Thayer says our proposition is une
dual. We confess it is-all the advantages
are on his side. We proposed to give up an
Office already in our possessien-he to give
up the candidacy of one, without the remotest
prospect of an election We were to leave a
business, which, by our close attention and
personal labor, affords fair livelihood he to
give up business which is every day run
ming him in debt in spite of all he can do.
He pretends that we want his paper put
down because it takes business from us, &C.
We will tell him now, if his egotism has pre-
vented his being cognizant Of the fact, that
the JOURNAL has lost nothing by the estab-
lishment of the Courier. Our circulation is
twice as large as that paper-our advertising
patronage four times as profitable--and our
job custom equally as good, Notwithstanding
his constant blowing about superior facili
ties.
Go on, Judge! Show your courage by
challenging old men to go to war who cant
go. It's cheap way to get up reputation
of some kind!

"G'LANG."-We notice our fast stock going
in the direction of the fair grounds every day.
They are training for the different fairs about
to be held throughout the country, and we
expect TO see some of these animals come
home covered with ''red ribbons" the result
of their constant training, and their natural
powers. One of our horses has taken the I'd
premium at Chicago, and in our opinion he
will this season come off best We expect
to see a great many prizes brought home from
Davenport.

of "cutting its teeth" and getting it fairly

sufficient sum in the bank to meet the other
end that will not meet, and bringing it forth
in all its glory--in spite of the almost super
human efforts of the JOURNAL to crush it in
its inlancy-after having done all this for

Bz.-Saturday was the busiest day of the
season. Our streets were thronged from an
early hour in the morning until late in the
evening with wagons. The stores were all
full to ovcrhowing. Smiles wreathed the faces
of our store-keepers, and the wrinkles of care
came out from their foreheads. Grim war
was forgotten for season, and the visions of
peaceful, united and happy country foated
through the brain. We hope to see more of
such days.
