Murder in Lisbon, N. H.

The little town of Lisbon, n. H., was
greatly agitated on Monday last by the COM
mission of shocking murder. The facts, as
we learn them from person who was in the
town at the time, are these: Brewster Young,
man about so years Of age, came to his
house about o'clock in the afternoon, from
his place of labor, in state of frenzied in
toxication, and taking down loaded gun
threatened to kill. His family, alarmed, sent
for young man by the name of Bishop, a
sutton of one of Young's daughters, to come
to their assistance. AS Bishop entered the
house, Young, who had been lurking about,
followed him, and, exclaiming as the young
man turned to meet him, "D-n you, l
loaded this gun on purpose to kill you" dis
charged the arm. The contents took effect
in the neck of Bishop, killing him instantly.
The murderer has wife and three or four
children. He was Immediately arrested and
confined. This is the sirth murder commit
ted in Grafton county within one year, and
rum the cause of them all!

Mr.. BancrOft'S Letter.

Hon. Geo. Bancroft, the distinguish
ed historian, lifelong adhercnt to
the Democratic party, has written a
noble letter, declining the nomination
to Congress, which was rendered to
him by the Peoples Union Association
in the eighth District New York
Among other things he says:
"The Tory party of England, all
the old hereditary enemies to the per-
feet development of our free institu.
tons, have been from the beginning
eagarly hoping to see our beautiful
flag rent in twain forever, and have
been unrcmitting in their advice to us
to let half Of the Union go. Shall we
adopt them for our counselors? 1t is
one of the saddest things, in this time
of general sorrow, that an effort is
made to persuade our fellow citizens
of foreign birth to give their votes in
the very party of English aristocracy
which from generation to generation
oppressed them at home. ....
The party at the South which has
made this rebellion is not and never
was democratic party it was
and is the most cmbittered hater oil
democracy ; it rests on the most mar
row and the most selfish of oligar
chies, which by the very necessity OF
its nature seeks to extinguish the
democratic principles, to crush the
Union and the power of the people
To sympathize with them is to sym
pathize with oligarchy in its proud.
est and most corrupt form. They
laughed among themselves at the very
thought of being called democrats.
For one, | will not vote for any
man whose election would be an en-.
enlargement to the rebellion to hold
out. /, for one, will not consent to
send our SONS and brothers to the bat.
tle-feld and then betray them at the
polls"

Mr.. Boyer, of Mt. Pleasant, writes as fol-
lows:
''Okra is used great deal as coffee. This
| has the flavor and taste Of the genuine, which
| neither rye or barley has, (Which you can try

tute. 1t is hardy annual plant, requires but

kinds, but send you only two to-day is what
l call, first, ''Conneticut Seed Leaf" This is
a fine leafed tobacco, principally used for cigars
or smoking. The other, called Kentucky. is
a broad, thick leaf, mostly used for chewing
l have raised tobacco now for five years. with
good success, and am fully satisfied that Iowa
can produce just as good tobacco as Kentucky
or Missouri. Now where tobacco has risen to
such an enormous price, Iowa ought to step in
and fill the place of one of the Secession states
in raising tobacco, thus not only saving, but
bringing money into the State. Tobacco is a
sure crop-sure as wheat or any other grain.
Plants ought to be set out between the 18th
of May and the 18th of June requires but
little outlay one man could tend five acres.
And If you take the pay into consideration.
there is a great difference between wheat and
tobacco. II spring wheat brings IL or Is
bushels to the acre. it is called good crop.
Tobacco, well tended. will bring 2, ZOO or more
pounds to the acre. Taking it at only ten
cents per pound would bring $500. How
many acres of wheat does it take to make up
5000. Next year Iowa ought to put in thous-
ands of acres. think there will be no trouble
that Iowa would raise so much that we would
find no market, or prices would fall down SO
much that it would not pay. /, individually,
like to encourage the raising of tobacco, be-
cause am confident that it will be great
benefit to this State therefore / intend to
give away certain portion of my best tObac-
co seeds to persons interested in it. If the
public wish to know how it shall he cultivated
and treated SO it will find market, will take
the best mode afterwards"

Correspondence Of the Charles CITY Intclllren
Letters From the Army.
COMPANY X, Sd Iowa INFANTRY,

:
La Grange, Tenn, Nov 10, 1862.
FRIEND HILDRErH On the 4th inst.
the Army of the West made their first
advance towards Holly Springs. All
the troops stationed at Jackson and
Bolivar marched for this place. At
Grand Junction we were met by the
Corinth army commanded by Hamil-
ton. There is now in and around La
Grange $4,000 men aud more arriv-
ing. Gen. Grant has his headquar-
ters here. The army is forming as
follows: The right wing, commanded
by Mcpherson, composed of Lauman's
and Logan's divisions !; the centre and
left wing, composed of four divisions,
commanded by Major Gen. Hamilton.
On the 9th, reconnaissance was
made with the LIST brigade, 4th divis-
ion, composed of the Sd Iowa, 4lst,
SD, and l03d Illinois regiments, COM
manded by Gen. Pugh, with the It'll
Illinois cavalry and a section of
Mann's battery. We marched out
eight miles and found 5000 rebel cav
airy drawn up to receive us. We
opened upon them with IL pound
howitzer; killed 8, wounded 5, and
the rest ran. We marched back to
camp, and rested the next day. On
the following day we took two days
rations and went out for rcconnoi.
sance in force. We marched twelve
miles and halted for fight. Stopped
over night. Company n acted as
skirmishers through the woods. Stop.
ped most of the next day Found the
enemy were in force at Cold Water,
six miles from our position, and five
from Holly Springs. They had six
brass field pieces, and shelled our cav
airy.
A detachment of rebel cavalry made
mistake and ran into some of the
Federal infantry, when they were fired
upon and two killed. The rest, to the
number of 1913, surrendered. That
night we marched back. Grand re-.
suit captured in all 200 prisoners !;
killed or captured 500 horses and al
so killed a few rebels Federal loss
2 killed and 9 wounded The rebels
are in force at Holly Springs, com
manded by Pemberton, Holmes, Price,
Tilghman and others. They number
about 10000 and propose fighting.
Good They'll get whipped.
We have some sport with the new
regiments. They cannot stand march
ing, and SO the old regiments put
them through. They also delight in
using certain phrases peculiar to aep
regiments, which old ones consider
obsolete. For instance, hard bread is
"hard tack" Bacon they cal! "sow
belly" &c.
Mcpherson is not very popular with
his command. He is too strict for
volunteers. He is West Pointer a
Captain in the regular army about
% years of age, tall, slim, and some
thing of a dandy.
The sick and wounded are doing
well, and will soon be returned to du-
ty. The weather is very cold-some-
thing like "cold snap" in Wiscon.

ed in the death Of any mere party. In
itself it is nothing. The principles il
embodies are everything. When
these depart it is better dead thar
alive. Parties arc the mere waves
upon the surface, principles are tho
enduring depths beneath. Two re.
markable delusions have prevailed to
give the Democratic organization
much of its strength in latter times
One was that, as a mere party, il
possessed a principle of inheren,
strength.-the other, that it could EN-.
body discordant and antagonistic prin
ciples, and yet preserve its unity
Both of these views bid fair to be
speedily dispelled. The test of loyal
ty dissipates all such ideas. Wher
treason enters, every virtue flies.

miles above this place. The fall of
water is so feet perpendicularly, and
Nature in her goodness having crea-
ted recess, or road, in the rock be-
hind or under the Falls, enables man
with safety and pleasure to pass eth
tirely around the ever falling stream,
so that, to the visitors eye, it looks
more like a fixed statue than rushing
cataract.
We also visited st. Anthony Falls,
which in years gone by must have
been remarkably grand, but, owing to
the high waters of late she has been
torn to pieces, and now has perpen-
dicular fall of only or 10 feet and
the heaps and piles of stones below
give an appearance of once being
visited 10y a devouring earthquake.

tip-top officer. Eds a brick" and
pleases all.
There is considerable sickness in
the Detachment, some with Measles,
others with Fevers, and a greater
number with bad colds owing to
having been too much exposed to wet

least number of sick of any Com.
