ED. JouRNAL:-T Copperheads, some
time since, circulated hand-bills announcing
that there would be Democratic meeting in
Grandview on Saturday, the 18th inst, to be
addressed by E. H. Thayer and others. The
time arrived, and no house could be procured,
Notwithstanding we have five churches in our
village. They consequently took out doors
for it.
Thayer read off his speech in grandilo-
quent style, but there was not a cheer during
when he was done
Mr.. Williamson was called for, but the
faithful" asked to be allowed to 60 on with
their business. He was allowed, however, to
ask Mr.. Thayer to furnish him with a copy
of his speech. This he would not consent to
do, but said that he would publish it in his
paper. Mr.. Williamson wished him to meet
him and defend his speech, but he said the
speech needed no defence-it defended itself
as it went along.
Some one then called for "three groans for
Thayer," and they were given with will
Immediately some one called for "three
cheers for the Union," and they were given
in good style.
| About this time Thayer made his exit at the
back door of the tavern (the speech was in
front Of the tavern,) and hastily jumping into
his buggy, and the eggs beginning to fly
freely, he put to the whip, and in few mo-
ments was out of sight. He took back
street, instead of coming round the main
street, and thus escaped the most Of the eggs.
I am informed that twelve dozen were in
readiness for him.
1t was resolved by formal vote Of the
crowd that we would allow no more such
speeches. Exit, Thayer! ALErHEIA.

The Meeting at GrandvieW
Z. II. +. DISGUSTS THE PEOPLE WITH
HIS TREASON. AND Is COMPELLED
TO EAT A HASTY RETREAT.

GRANDvIEw, Iowa, April 18th, 1863.
Mr.. EDITOR The friends of the Government
vii, no doubt, be interested to know that the
"Grand Democratic" alias Copperhead "Ral-
ly," which was to have been held in Grand
view on last Saturday, turned out to be a
grand Democratic fizzle. But those who are
continually crying that the liberty of the
press and the freedom of speech are restricted
by abolition fanatics, cannot say that such
was the case here 1t is true that the weight
of hair would, at several times, have turn
ed the tide of an indignant audience against
the speaker, but different, if not wiser
counsel prevailed, and E. H. Thayer was al
lowed to belch forth the stereotyped edition
of his foul SANDER upon the policy Of the Ad-
ministration, which contained, as usual, little
else than denunciations without foundation,
and charges without proof-not word of
sympathy for the glorious emblems Of our
country, torn and spit upon--not word of
censure for the traitor who is thrusting the
dagger at the heart of the nation.
But we do not intend to review the speech.
The Judge says it is one which he is not
ATTAINED to spread before the world, and he
promised to publish it; we will leave you,
therefore, to make your own comments, if
any are necessary. Perhaps hsis not ashamed
for he is a total stranger to any such emo
tons, but there are those who are ashamed of
it-those who said they had always been
Democrats, but not such id Democrats
as he. t4.t
When the speaker had finished and taken
his seat, some one proposed "three groans
for Thayer," and such doleful ones as were
given, we had thought could only be heard
from the regions of despair. Then followed
three enthusiastic, soul-stlrring cheers for
Lincoln and the Administration.
You may wonder why such sentiments
were uttered at a grand copperhead rally,
why their champion was groaned at, and why
the Administration which he denounced in
the bitterest terms, was cheered so enthusi-
astically. The secret is in the fact, that but
a handful of Thayer's disciples had the cour
age to face the music of the Union and the
loyal citizens of Grandview who turned out
to rebuke treason.
Perhaps the Judge will tell his readers Of
another outpouring Of the people, if he does,
perhaps O he will also tell them of the out
pouring of hen fruit which was showered
about him as he made his exit from the tav-
ern by the back door, and his exit from town
by back street, &c. The last that was seen Of
him was by gentleman who met him going
toward Muscatine II the rate of two-forty,
whipping at every jump. Of course he
would stop at the slough and wash the eggs
off. ,fr II
He no doubt left, muttering curses deep, if
not loud, against the abolitionists, for we
don't think his religion will bear him above
profanity; but he may be thankful that he
escaped as we'll as he did, and take warning
not to attempt to repeat the offence unless he
has passport to the other world.
Yours truly,

STATISTICS OF TIE GLoBE.-The following
curious facts arc ated by the Abeille Medi-
cals:
1.-THE earth is inhabited by 1928 million
of inhabitants, viz, 1863, 100000 of the eau
casian race; 552, 100000 of the Monaghan
race; 100000 of the Ethiopian; 1000
600 Of the American Indian, and 200, DOC, 900
of the Malay races. All these respectively
speak 1904 languages, and profess 1000
different religions. The amount Of deaths
per annum is 80, 333, 1888, or 81 1854 per day,
2,730 per hour, and go per minute, or per
second, so that at every pulsation Of our heart
human being dies. This loss is compensa-
ted by an equal number of births The aver.
age duration of life throughout the globe is
80 years. One fourth Of its population dies
before the seventh year, and onc-half before
the seventeenth Out of 10, 900 persons Only
one reaches his Tooth year; only one in 500
his 80th, and only one in 100 his 65th.
Married people live longer than unmarried
ones; q tall man 10 likely to live longer than
short one. Until the 5Oth year women
have better chance of life than men, but be.
yond that period the chances are equal

which marriages are most frequent. Children
born in spring are generally stronger than
those born in other seasons. Births and
deaths chiefly occur At night. The number
Of men able to bear arms is but one-eighth
the population. The nature ofthe profession
exercises . great influence on LONGEVITY
Thus, out Of 100 of each Of the following pro
LESSONS, the number Of those who attain theil

agriculturalists, 40; traders and manufactu
rers, SO; soldiers, 80; clerks, 80; lawyers
129; artists, %; professors, 81; and physi
clans, 24-so that those who study the ar
of prolonging the lives Of others, are mos
likely to die early, probably on account .
