PULLED HIS NosE.-The terrible LeGrand
Byington, who threatened to block up the
way of our soldiers, destined for the South to
invade the land and desecrate the homes of
our Southern brethren, with the carcass Of his
own precious self, had his nose pulled and
face slapped by Adjutant General Baker, at
Davenport last Tuesday night. "Old tax-ti-
ties" was delivering one of his reasonable
harangues, during the course of which he
promulgated some outrageous reasonable
sentence, when Gen. Baker pulled his nose
end slapped his face. LeGrand the terrible
bore it like martyr.

VERpANT OR VILLA1NoUs.-The Courier
publishes silly letter written by some one
at Davenport, who signed it with fictitious
name, and who addressed it on the outside
to the editor of the Courier, but on the in
side to the editor ofthe JOURNAL. The letter
purports to speak confdentially about a
scheme to get "traitorous Copperheads'' and
the "forin population drafted. The whole
thing is so shallow and transparent that no
intelligent man can be humbugged by it.
Mr.. Thayer insists that the letter was intend
ed for US, though plainly addressed on the
envelope to ''E. H. Thayer."
The people who care to pass judgment
upon this matter will come to this conclu-
sion-that the writer of the letter either had
in Mr.. Thayer a confederate in his intended
misunderstanding, or expected him to be green
enough to bite at bait set for him for the
sake of little fun. e..i
The foreign population know that we cher
always been their friend. AS to the Cop
perheads, we are free to confess we wish they
were all drafted, but we do not advise nor
do we expect any unfair means will be used
to get them into the service of their country.
"B1s V1NcIr, QUI Sc VINc1r IN VICTORIA. y
The Latins had this proverb, "He conquers a
second time, who controls himself in victory"
which it would be well for our people to re-
member in these times. We would not check
the exuberance of joy on account Of the glo-
rious victories now being achieved by our
armies 10 the field, but we would remind our
enthusiastic and impulsive friends that there
is more rational way Of celebrating our tri
umphs than by INDUCING in bacchanalian
revelry. Under no circumstances whatever
are we justified in giving ourselves up to the
subtle and baleful influence of strong drink.
Periods of great excitement like the present
are fraught with great danger to the natural
ly convivial and excitable. In the hope of
having dropped word Of timely caution into
the mind of some one, we dismiss the sub
ject with this brief allusion, trusting that it
may be received by all in the same kind spirit
in which it is dictated.

From RosEcRANs' ARMY.-We have been
permitted to peruse letter from John Bar
tholomew, Of this city, who is member Of
the battery corrected with the 10th Illinois
infantry, now with Rosecrans' army. His
letter is dated at the camp on Elk river, July
9Th. He states that the march to that point
from Tullahoma was a very hard one, through
mud and rain. He says Bragg's army is
completely whipped, and would have been
caught entire had it not been for the rain and
mud. Several thousand were taken, and they
come in every day to give themselves up,
saying they are tired of the war and have
come to the conclusion that their cause is a
hopeless one. Rosecrans' army was waiting
for the supply train before moving forward.
