Az FDIToR JUBILANr,-The local editor
of the Dubuque (Iowa) Times thus jubilates
over the news from Tennessee
Yesterday was great day, for patriots
and all the world in these regions, with a
few traitorous exceptions, were wild with
delight. Doctors, divines and lawyers got
drunk; our Mayor. Sheriff, Marshal and
other officers became intoxicated yea, yes
tcrday our Good Tcmplars, Sons of Temper
anee, Rechahites, deacons, elders, vestry-
men, parsons, clerks. priests. local editors,
and other exemplary men, became inebria
ted-with joy-while in the evening the T.
c. (tuff cussos, you know,l got tight on
strong drink. And well they might, for
never, since the day our national indepen-
denee was acquired has there been so much
cause for rejoicing. BY our dispatches this
morning it will be seen that General Grant
has captured Fort Donelson and fifteen
thousand rebels, with Generals Buckner,
Pillow and Johpson. General Floyd, the
notorious thief, who stole from the Federal
Government, muskets. cannon, pistols, pow
der. balls, sabres and money, in this instance
shows his ruling passion by stealing away.
Joy go with him. If they had captured him
he would doubtless have stolen gunboat
and escaped within twenty four hours, so his
loss IL our gain.
The Forty Thieves who have lived upon
Federal and county patronage in this
county so long, hung their secession
heads. and retraatcd into the beer saloons
and other haunts. swearing now, as ever,
with visible marks of alarm, that they are
the best Union men in Dubuque. In six
weeks they will all be ready to fight if you
call them seccssionists," Tire Grant =
hurrah for oar gallant Illinois General,-
Yrs 81 Ggtslaafado ,-Massa Grant fur eb-

victory sayeth to himself. Arise, gird

Thankfalness is the Incentive to Gratitude.

ICERTIFICATE.l
The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly af-
hicted where permanent relief of their suferngs
may be obtained, feels it his duty to thus publicly
express his most sincere gratitude to pr, L.. 4.
Czapkay for the permanent recovery Of his health.
Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident
to the vicious practices of uncomfortable passion
in youth. depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifing duty imposed by the
daily avocations of life, sought the advice of ma
nv physicians, who at first regarded my disease as
Of trihing Importance but alas, after few weeks,
and in several instances months of their treatment,
I found to my unutterable horror, that instead of
relief my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture : and being told oy one that my dis
ease being principally confined to the brain, medi-
cine would be of little consequence despaired Of
ever recaining my health, strength and energy and
ms last resort, and with but faint hope, called
upon Dr. Cxapkay, who, after examining my case,
nrescribed some medicine, which almost instantly
relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by the result, l resolved to
nlaee yself under his and, by strict obcd-
cpce to all his instructions aod advice, my head be-
came clear my ideas collected the constant pain in
mr. back and groins, the weakness of my linbs the

With view to guard the unfortan4sa from fall

MATTERS ON THE BoRDER.-We are in
formed by gentleman who arrived here
this morning on the steamer McCombs, that
the border hence TO Henderson is very
quiet, and that no guerrillas have been seen
for several days past. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however, that they have only
fallen back from the river in order to re-
cruit their forces and mature their plans for
concerted raid upon the river counties of
Kentucky and Indiana. Their quiet pro-
ceedings portend no good. The people
along the border should be fully armed and
reorganizsd, and keep on the alert for these
marauding desperadoes Too much vigil
lance cannot be exercised in this connec-
tion.-Neao Albany Ledger.
f., We have no doubt the Ledger is right in
its surmises of the intention of the guerril-
las. There never was time so fraught
with danger to the border counties. The
news by telegraph this morning Of the con-
centralion of troops by the rebels at Knox
vile confirms our prediction that the rebels
designed transferring the seat Of war to
Kentucky and Tennessee. ALI the new
regiments raised in the Northwest should
at once be pushed forward il the direction
of South Eastern Kentucky.
