Read in the Courier, of the I'd, notice of
meeting at Atalissa, and laugh. Twenty
one men, women and children, embracing
precisely twenty voters, assembled in mass!
The greatest wonder for the Courier, two
truths and only five falsehoods The
Union League never voted to forbid the
Grandview target or any other copperhead
from speaking in Atalissa, but by unani-
nous vote agreed to tolerate nuisance for
which the law affords no adequate remedy
The people of Goshen township are law-abid-
ing, ordcrloving citizens. Had they been
otherwise, the presence of that dirty bloat
would not have been tolerated one moment
The meeting was contemptib'y small, but,
Notwithstanding, the leading characteristics
of the party were fully represented, it seems,
triune concern-talsehood treason, whisky.
Treason insulted but few loyal ears Few
honest persons were exposed to the dangers
Of falsehood, and but few sober persons ex-
posed to the pollution Of drunkenness -
They were not there, but the citizens of Alta.
LISA were insulted and outraged by the pres
ence Of dirty doggery on ground so long
dedicated to temperance and sobriety. True,
the meeting was held in the freight house,
for which our agent is individually RESPONSE
bic, and it is gravely limited that he has thus
give aid and comfort to treason, but as all
who saw the crowd must either pity or des-
plse them, he perhaps belongs to the former
evidently minority.
The best joke of the occasion, Esq. Hay, Of
Cedar county, q beg pardon for calling him
by name)-was coming to the station with
his team, and on reaching farm house on
top of hill about one mile and half north
of Atalissa, he saw the American flag float
ing, as he thought, over uncongenial soil, and
alighting he took it, furled it carefully and
laid it in his wagon. After driving leisurely
about mile, he was overtsken by five or six
men, who accostcd him thus: "Hold on -
you got our flag" mo, haven't. I've got
flag, but it's certainly not yours. This is
the American flag" After, as am credibly
informed, begging for it and promising not to
have 1.-THE only evidence of their loyalty.
DuC Oh SATURDAY evening, tnougn stormy
and cold, when the man with great loyal
heart, the earnest friend of free government
and truest friend of our soldiers, Gov. Kirk
wood, was announced to speak in our place,
We had meeting without whisky or treason
such as COMFORTS with the patriotism and
zeal Of our people, and not at war with good
government nor the morality and civilization
of the age, and speech that more than ever
endeared Gov. Kirkwood to our Inhabitants
plain, powerful and convincing. And best of
all, number of the readers of the Couric,
listened attentively to speech we'll calculated
10 inspire with patriotism and love of truth
and free government.
The 18th will redeem all that is in danger
and make the hearts of our loyal people glad.

From the Augusta (Gs Constitutionalist, Sept. Q.


We still haos great expectations for the
peace men Of the North and the explosive
wrath of the opposition masses, but we were
never more fully convinced than now of the
essential importance of tn ok, fast and heavy
blows from the Confederate armies, in order
to give VITALITY. SYSTEM AND ORGANIZATION
TO THE PEACE MEN, and to unloose the fierce
impulses of the enthrallcd and terrorized
people Mr.. Vallandigham himself, as we
have heard, MOST ALPHABETICALLY E.
CLARED THAT THE SUCCESS OF THE
SOUTHERN ARMS ALONE COULD GIVE
STRENGTH AND CONSISTENCY TO
THE PEACE MOVEMENT; and we verify
believe that if Vicksburg had been held and
Lee thoroughly defeated Meade on his yn
ground, the Woods and Coxes and Vallandig-
hams and their followers would have been
rampant for peace and separation, and that
not one drafted man would have ever worn
the United States uniform-the livery of a
hireling or degraded soldier-in the CITY of
New York. But Vicksburg fell, and Lee
failed to overthrow Meade, and so the peac
men are as mute as frightened mice, and the
drafted rowdies are forced easily into the
ranks. X
In order to affect the Ohio election and
the organization and action Of the neu Con-
gross, maj 'rity Of which is against the Re-
publican party, but not firmly decided as to
anything else, it is to the last degree essential
that the confederate armies win one or more
d cisive battles within the next thirty or sixty
days. If Johnston and Bragg can defeat
Rosecrans and Burnside, Charleston still hold.
ing out, or if Lee, with his recruited army,
can defeat Meade with all the aid of his new
conscripts, demoralized and disaffected as
they are represented, then we may expect the
mast ,tavo' able result in the Nhio election
ard Lincoln Congress. But unless something
of the kind is accomplished speedily, then a
long farewell! to the peace party; Valland CHAM
will be defeated and Wood and his party par
alyzed or overawed in Congress, and peace
postponed indefinitely, wi bout foreign aid
The evidence furnished by this article, and
one of kindred character found in the columns
of the Richmond Enquirer, shows conclu-
sively the present extraordinary effort max
ing by the rebel leaders against the patriot
army is intended for the benefit of the Cop
perhead party, and that party in its turn is
straining every nerve to benefit the rebels
Honest Democrats, ponder the matter!

Terrible Steamboat Disaster
Burning of the steamer Robert

SONS I1Ost-Lisl of the Victims.

MILL'kiN DEND, sept. 20.
The steamer r. Campbell, jr., was set fire
by an incendiary, jut as she was approaching
this point, at SIX O'Clock, AN. We were all
aroused by the alarm, and so rapid was the
progress of the flames, that we had barely
time to get near the bow of the boat and get
planks and staging launched before the heat
compelled US to jump overheard. We were
cut off from the yawls by the fire, which COM
menced in the hold we'll aft and drove US all
forward before it. The passengers and crew
were free from the panic which generally char
acterizes such terrible scenes, and everything
was done that the very limited time would
permit to save life. Fortunately there were
but few women and children aboard The
ladies were saved except one Invalid, whom it
was impossible for us to rescue. Two beau
tiful children Of Mrs Cooley were lost.
append list of those lost for the benefit of
relatives and lends: Saml. Magruder, col
ored, first cook; VIM. Brogard, third cock; a
boy, name unknown; Lizzie Marshal. cham
bermaid; William Besnt Texas, tender of the
pantry; a man, name unknown; Mike o. Brien,
JOS Flaherty, Mike Whalen, Dam and one
name unknown, deck hands, and G. D. Lynch,
I'd clerk; little daughter and son of Mrs
Cooley; Mrs. Sarah Hampton, refugee, got on
at Memphis; two firemen, names unknown;
N. T. Curtis, 18th Iowa; Mr.. Rorter, carpen.
ter, St. Louis; roustabout, name unknown !;
Lieut.. Perdett, 9Th Missouri; Robert, hospi-
tai steward. 32d Ohio; Fl. W. Thompson, 35th
Illinois; Cunningham, deck passenger.
There can be no doubt but that the burn
ing of the boat was the work Of an incen-
diary.
The officers of the steamer Gen. Anderson
treated US with the utmost kindness, doing
all they cou TO relieve our wants, and land
ing us at Milliken's Bend. The steamer
Sunny South passed us by without taking the
slightest notice of US, while the burning
wreck drifted away, and we stood half-naked
and shivering on the shore. Hardy Wilson,
I'd mate Of the boat, swan out after getting
to shore to cut the yawl loose, and saved the
life of Mrs. Cooley, who was in the water,
hanging to the wheel of the boat, which was
about hu dred yards from here, when pas.
sengers and crew had to take to the water to
save themselves.
