On BOARD STEAMER KEY CRY, J
Nov. 81, 1863.

MEssRs. EDS This is rather a lone
some trip; only seven passengers to an.
swer the call to dnner-so, after hearty
meal, and having smoked a cigar while
chatting with Jesse, with whom believe
you are slightly acquainted, l take my pen
to while away few moments. The Key
City on this, her last trip. is making the
tallest kind Of time, against strong head
wind. She is a powerful boat, and one
cannot help feeling at home in her cabin,
even in the absence of her late Captain
and Clerk, Worden, and Len. Eldred.
Capt. Mitchell and SAM. Cook, who now
run the boat, do all in their power to make
a trip at this late season as comfortable as
possible.
Dubuque, since the election, has enjoyed
a season of comparative quiet No one
appears to fear the approaching draft, as
there arc about three regiments Of U. LIS
from which to fill the quota of the city.
The Herald publishes strong articles every
day now, encouraging enlistments, for
which the editor may, on waking up some
fine morning, find himself arrested. The
Herald mainly urges the leaguers to enlist,
while, singular as it may appear, the
Times, the war paper of Dubuque, has not
word of encouragement to offer. The
Times, like most papers supporting the
Administration, is engaged in that pleasant
occupation, killing copperheads," anil l
honestly believe the editor in so doing
thinks he is performing Gods service SO
well that his sins of omission in not point
ing out the extravaganza Of his party will
be overlooked. 1t is wonderful how dan.
gerous these copperkeads /" are made to
appear, when the Rev. H. w. Beecher, who
is somewhat acquainted with American
character, says on his return to our shores,
"their number is so Insignificant that, to a
man across the water, they are unworthy
of notice." Verify, the few that are lelft
must be terrible fellows.
For several days the Dubuque hunters,
and people generally, have been somewhat
excited by reports of huge panther, some
what smaller than an elephant, having been
seen within three miles the of city, and
from reports several persons have been in
rather dangerous proximity to this uninvi.
ted visitor. Next Thursday has been Sc,
apart for great hunt, and Mr.. Panther
had better stay within his den if he would
avoid fight with one to two hundred mi.
ners and sporting men. Finding this rath.
er cool, and on this trip, very rough
place for writing, and not expecting large
remuneration for .scribbling, believe
will at once adjourn and take another
smoke with the boys--so here We go under
cloud Of smoke with the Pocket City in
sight. Yours, 81

magnitude Of the job and the weakness of
the reported raiders laughed the rumor
out OF company and in few days came
the words: "Thc troops ordered to the
North have returned. The story was pro-
baby hoax!'
An army Captain, albei. a Republican
and friend Of ours remarked to us that
be thought he could guess the origin Of the
canard "The Lake Erie Cities want ex-
cuses for the construction Of Harbor de-
fences and impio vemcnts in shipping facl-
tiles, and Chicago wants canal to enable
her to bring Gunboats from the Mississippi.

ior the outlay Of millions of dollars on the
Lakes and the consequent enrching of
