FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. l-6 r. M.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather,
this has been an active and exciting day in Wall
street.
At the commencement of business this morning
there was disposition to sell gold and stocks and
decided reaction in the market was anticipated.
No cause was specifically assigned for the change
from the buoyancy Of last evening though the
peace runors were considered TO have affected the
price of gold. In the leading shares a decline of
a ~ per cent took place. Central fell to 1929,
Erie preferred TO 8l1 Hudson River to 6la6, Tole-
do to Goss, and gold to l22, with corresponding
decline in the other active stocks. The decline,
however. had scarcely been reported from the
board to the brokers' Offices, where large numbers
Of spectators now gather every morning, than
orders were poured into the board at so rapid
rate that the decline in the market vas at once
checked, and an upward movement was inaugural
ed. Central rallied from 1929 to l04 and sold
up to lOt14 between the boards; Erie preferred
rose to SO, Illinois Central to 7s, Erie old
to SO, Michigan Central to s3H reaction of
a 2 per cent took place throughout the
market and once more all the brokers were impa-
tient to buy everything. Bonds were affected
both by the weather and the decline at the morn
ing board; quotations show no change from yester-
day, except in one or two instances, in which
prices were lower to-day. Governments began
to-day, for the first time to move with the rest of
the market. The skies of 1881 rose "a per cent

market. Between the boards to-day the market
was very active indeed, notwithstanding the rain.
At the second board everything was very active,
and prices were all higher. Michigan Central
sold up to 81, and Rock Island to 70. The scene
after the second board was one Of great excite.

A Brave IOyvan.

4 the battle Of Fort Donelson, a private
in the Second Regiment, named Stephen
Sprllctich, distinguished himself bv bravery
| such as is rarely exhibited on the battle field
He was a member of Captain Slaymaker's
company, from Davenport, and, when that
brave officer fell, Spelletich Immediately re-
solved to have the fullest revenge upon the
Captains murderers. Throwing otfhis coat
and knapsack, he mounted the intrench,
ments, and taking deliberate aim picked off
his man at every fire, cooly remarking as
each rebel would fall, Kill my Captain.
will you?' When he had exhausted hi
own ammunition, he made a rush with his
bayonet upon the foe, wrested rifle and
ammunition from rebel, and returned to
his comrades without scratch. As par
tial reward for such determined courage,
Senator j. B. Leakc, of Scott county, ad
dressed a letter to Major General Halleck,
asking that the rifle might be presented to
the gallant soldier who captured it. Gene
raj llalleck, promptly responded as follows :
HEADQUARTERS Dept. OF THE MIs-l
sIssIPPI, ST. Louis, March 10, 1852.
Hon. J. 3. LEAKE-.Sr: Your letter of
the l4th inst, in regard to the heroic con-
duct of private Stephen Spelletich, at Fort
Donclson, is just received. will endeavor
to have the rifle he captured selected out
and presented to him, if SO authorized by
the Secretary Of War. shall forward to
him your letter, with the request that the
authority be granted.
III. w. HALLEcK, Major General
"P. ST respectfully recommend that

'This is the cause" replied the Captain
laying his finger upon brcastpin that
Hugh always, wore upon his coat, at the
same time unbuttening his own; 'you see
that | wear the same"
1t was a simple jewel, cmbellshed only
by few Greek characters, but it was the
emblem of one of those college societies. in
which secrecy and mystery add a charm to
the ties of brotherhood. And it was this
fraternal tic, stronger than that of Free
Masonry, because more exclusive, that made
iiugh's pleasant imprisonment, and made
him happy in the love Of one faithful among
the faithless, loyal among many traitors-
For of course the reader has surmised-for
poetic justice demands it-that Hugh fell
desperately in love with Annie, and Annie
ditto Hugh. How he told the tender tale,
and how she answered him whether with
the conventional quantity Of bushes and
signs, or not It's none Of your business,
reader, or mine; SO don't ask m: any ques-
tions.
1t was the evening of the day before
IIugh's departure They, Annie and Hugh,
sat in the little porch, silent and sad, watch
ing the shadows slowly creeping up the
mountain side towards it's sun kissed sum.

bright hope.
And tomorrow you are free!''
"No, Annie, not free. My sword will be
free, but my heart will still lnger here, a
prisoner. But when the war is over, and
the old f}ap reStored-n
"7hen," and her eyes were filled with the
glorious light of prophetic hope, II will be
your prisoner y
And still Hugh is fighting for the dear
old flag; and still Annie is praying for it,
and waiting for the sweet imprisonment.
There has been many as sweet romance
as this, reader, acted ere this, during the
war. Would that all captivity were as
pleasant!

Music.
In general sense everybody likes mu
sic. The exceptions are rare at all event:
and, when found, the parties are sadly de-
ticient in head or heart eft for treason
stratagems and spoils." This narrow city
now has Musical Association in the full
tide of experiment and much pleasure dc
we all hope to derive from its meetings
after while the Association will treat the
town to concert; and then Musical Con
yentlon, similar to Prof Roots late sue
cessful exhibition, will be on the tapis and
what good time we will all have. There
is little discord just now relative to the
arrangement of officers in the association
but time and reflection will tone all the dis.
cord into harmony and our fast Young
town will boast the best musical choir in
the west. McGregor people do their best
at everything they undertake and we know
that there is talent here which asks only
development to make our public choir
known throughout this entire region.
Don't let small differences of opinion inter
fere with successful sharp"-do not "B
fiat"
Speaking of music reminds us that we
have band of Serenaders in town who
are hard to excel either in vocal or instru.
mental harmony. The band is composed
OF amateurs, young men in business who
get together of an evening to crafty them
selves and their friends. Then we have
band of Musicians who ornament one end
OF our dancing halls and set the world of
beauty and patent feathers in whirl of
pleasure. ''rim' Hopkins is the leader of
this band and we hope he will never s'lay
down de fiddle and de bow" till we con-
clude to stop indulsing in the luxury of the
dance. Tim ought to be condemned to an
eternity of fiddling, without the possibility
of getting out of rosin or of breaking
string. Mr.. Eistelder, German ieweler.
is one of this band, volinist of fine ca.
pacity and modest, worthy, young gen.
tlcman. A. II. White, attends to the
eternal big fiddle as the quaker preacher
called it. White touches the low notes in
splendid unison with the shrilar efforts of
"Lafe' Church on the clarionct Lafe and
W hlte are opposites both in local position
In the band and in instrumental voice but
they agree SO well in united volume of mu-
scal harmony that we cannot refrain from
them both. 1t has been
fashion to go abroad for cotillion music in
this city-the fashion has changed. Hop
lins' Band is the best on the North Iowa
Stage since Leonard played out and we ad.
'isc everybody within reach of them to
give then, trial. r.

Poetry.
THE TWO WORLDS,

Two worlds there are. To one our eyes we strain
Whose magic joys we shall not again
Bright haze Of morning vsjls its glimmering shore
All, truly breathed there
Intoxicating air
Glad were our hearts in that sweet realm Of
Nevermore.
The lover there drank her delicious breath
Whose love has yielded since to change or death:
The mother kissed her child, whose days are DER
Alas too soon have fed
The ire claimable dead
We see them-visious strange--amid the
Nevermore.
The merry seng some maiden used to sing
The brown, brown hair that was wont to cling
To temples long clay-cod: to the very core
They strike our weary hearts,
As some vexed memory starts
From that long faded lsnd--the realm of
II Is perpetual summer there. But here
Sadly we may remember rivers clear, ..
And harebells quiverng on the meadow-foor
For brighter bells and bluer,
For tenderer hearts and truer
People that happy land--the realm of
Upon the frontier Of this shadowy land
We, pilgrims Of eternal sorrow, stand
What realm lies oRwARD, with its happier store
OF forests green and deep,
OF valleys hushed in sleep,
And lakes most peaceful! 'Tis the land
Very far of the marble cities SEEM
Very lar of--beyond our sensual dream
Its wood unruf1ed by the wild winds roar:
Yet does the turbulent surge
Howl on its very verge.
One mnment--and we breathe within the
Evermore.
They whom We loved and lost so long ago
Dwell in those cities, far from mortal woe
Haunt those fresh woodlands, whence sweet car
olngs soar,
Eternal peace have they
God wipes their tears sway:
They drink that river of lite that flows from
Evermore.
Thither we hasten through these regions dim
But 10, the wide wings OF the Seraphm
Shine in the sunset! On that Joyous shore
Our lightened hearts shall know
The life OF long ago;
The ssrrow-hurdened past shall fade for
Evermore.
