DISAPPOINTED. We are informed that Hen
E'g'd Thayer invited himself to address a
meeting of his fellow traitors at certain
school house in this county, one week ago
last Saturday night, but having received a
" cackling" of what was in store for him,
concluded, upon the whole, to postpone it for
an indefinite length of time, whereat his
anxious and erpectant friends were much dis
appointed. Fearing that the eggs would spoil
on their hands before an opportunity was
presented them Of trying their soundness and
strength on the Uranium of the editor of the
Courier, they expended them on the next
worthless object, dry well.

FROM THE "GRAY Boards" We learn
from A. Kimball, Suffer of the S7th Iowa,
who arrived home yesterday from St. Louis,
that the regiment has all left that city, and is
now distributed over about $50 miles of the
railroad to Jefferson city, to protect the
bridges and other property along the road.
COL Kincaid's headquarters are at Franklin,
about 60 miles southwest CT st. Louis. A
detachment of five companies was ordered
to this point as early as May 21st, and the
remaining five left for the same destination on
Sunday last. We have seen it stated in a
Copperhead sheet that this movement was
exceedingly distasteful to the members OF
the regiment, who regarded it as violation
of the terms of their enlistment. Mr.. Kim
ball states that such is not the fact The
Gray Boards are perfectly willing to be placed
wherever they can render the most efficient
services to their country. Besides they have
assurances from Gen: Schofeld that as soon
as Missouri regiment can be substituted,
they shall be united again in one command
and be stationed more permanently at some
important point. The health of the regi-
ment is excellent, but two or three being
unable to follow their comrades to the new
field of duty.

OPENING OF THE "EICHELBERGER. Mon
day, the old and popular hotel, known as
the "Eichelberger," was re-opened. 1t was
closed during the fall and winter, during
which time Col Isett, the owner of the
building, has had it thoroughly repaired,
both externally and internally. The wood
work about the Office, dining-room and
lower halls, has been grained light oak
color, giving them very pleasing appear
ance. These, together with all the other
rooms in the house have been newly papered
with the most neat and appropriate styles
of wall paper. The furniture is entirely new,
manufactured for the hotel by S. G. & P. Stein,
and Weinker & Co. One of the best i'm
provements that has been made is the build
ing of an addition, containing kitchens and
wash house These are furnished with all
the latest and most approved appliances for
the successful and convenient prosecution OF
the labors pertaining to these important
adjuncts of every well-regulated hotel
Another new and excellent feature is that of a
private entrance for lady guests. The ware
of the dining room is also new, and Of the latest
patterns. The house is, in fact, complete in
all its appointments. Col. Isett is entitled to
a great deal of credit for thus furnishing to
Muscatine, what she has never before en-
joyed, hotel building which may be truth
fully called frst-class one.
Of Mr.. Eichelberger, the lessee, it is I'M
necessary for us to speak He is well known
in this and other cities of this state and
Ohio, having been engaged in the hotel bust
ness for the past twenty-five years, during
part of which time we have been intimately
acquainted with him. He has every qualifi-
cation for good landlord, which, togeth-
er with his long experience, entities him to
the appellat on of a man who knows how
to keep hotel.'
The opening dinner was feast, the equal
of which VIC have scarcely ever sat down to.
1t was partaken of by large number of in
vited guests, all of whom appeared to be
Satisfied" and more than satisfied with the
whole proceedings.
The opening was decided success, and
augers well for the future prosperity Of the
house. We wish it abundant success. S.

ORpER IN RELATION TO ARMY SUPPLIES
The question has recently been asked of us
as to the proper manner of shipping articles
of provisions, &C., to particular company
in an Iowa regiment, and Of the chances of
getting them safely to their destination. In
reply we quote the following paragraph from
Mrs. Wittenmyer's circular, dated May
14th
lowing to recent orders, no more goods
can be sent at the cost of the Government to
particular individuals or regiments, but all
supplies must 20 into a common fund for gen.
eral distribution"
This order may not seem applicable to the
shipment Of goods at the expense of the do
nors, but we are assured by persons whose
business it is to know that it is matter Of
extreme doubt whether any such special
shipment could be got within the army lines
For contributions made in conformity with
the above regulations, ''the Government
says Mrs. Wittenmyer, ''is offering me safe
and prompt transportation, and every facility
for carrying out the generous intentions of
our people,"
COL Harry Compton, Of this city, will for
ward all supplies directed to his cate, at the
expense of the Government.

Flowers FOR THE HOSPITALS AT KEo-
KuK.-Dr Taylor, the thoughtful Surgeon in
charge of the military hospitals at Keokuk,
DESTROYS to render the minds of his patients
more easy and cheerful, and their conva-
lescence more rapid and reliable, has lately
decided to establish Conservatives of flowers
in all the well-lighted halls or large rooms of
the several hospital buildings, and earnestly
invites donations of Towering plants, native
and exotic, potted or boxed, Especially of
such as may bloom the present season,-from
the patriotic ladies and lovers of flowers in
all towns on the river or in the interior, hav
ing convenient communication with that city.
Packet and railroad lines, if applied to in
advance, will doubtless send donations free
of charge, and thus aid the patriotic work.
We are confident that many cuitivators of
plants, in this section, will esteem it priv
lege to donate some of the flowers which
adorn their homes, to lend somewhat more
that is cheering to the invalid soldier, away
from the tender ministries and loving faces
of father or brother, of sister, mother or
wife. 1t is desired that contributions be sent
forward Immediately. We presume they
may be addressed to the care of DR.. Taylor,
Keokuk, Iowa.

OUR ASSEMBLY TICKET.

We this week place at the head of our col
umns the names of Capt. Frank Bell of Nc
Kean county, and John Mahaffey of Cearfield
county ,as the Union candidates for Assembly
CAPT. BELL, is good and reliable gentle
man, commanded company in the famous
'sBucktail Rifles, ''and lost foot in the recent
battle of Gettysburg, and is fully competent
to discharge the duties of the office for which
he is named. We hope that the loyal men of
this district, of all parties, will give Capt Bell
hearty support.
JOHN MAHAFFEY, is too we'll known in this
county to require any recommendation from
us. He is honest, capable, and reliable, and
will make most excellent Representative
should he be elected.
The ticket is a strong one, and cannot be
beaten, If the true men, those who have the
interests of our State and the Union at heart,
will do their whole duty. Remember, friends
that the time is short-that the election is
close at hand. Go to work without delay
organize thoroughly, and bring out the vote,
and the result will be glorious victory-if
not in this county, it will be in the State.

A NEW coPpERHEAD GAME.

1t is a we'll known fact that the Copperhead
leaders are resorting to every MEANS no mat
ter how despicable, 10 elect their ticket
They long since conspired to disfranchise the
soldiers who are periling life and limb in de-
fence OF the Union. The evidence of this is
of record in the Legislative debates, and in
the proceedings of the Supreme Court of
Pennsy lvaDia. But the last apd most diaboli-
cal scheme is confided to the assessors in the
several election districts throughout the State.
The games is this: To omit on the .assessor's
list, all the soldiers ,Cho are absent fight
ing the Battles Of the Union. This is certainly
| the most outrageous and most infamous trick
yet adopted by the sympathsers with rebel
lion. This game, however, will not succeed.
Ii a man has paid State or County tax with
in two years. it matters not whether he is as
sessed or not. But, to avoid all difficulty. we
advise the friends of the soldiers to sec that
their names are placed on ths assessors lists
