ET When we see Abolitionists raging
and foaming about Democrats wearing
butternut emblems of "two hearts united
in one" and coppcrheads of "LIBERTY,"
we are reminded Of the viper in the circle
of fire singing itself TO death. Now who
applied the terms "Butternut' and "Cop-
perhead' to Democrats Most assuredly
not Democrats themselves but these same
Aboltionists. And when Democrats, in.
stead of getting angry at the Blackguards
who thus try to insult them, take it in
good humer, and quietly assume the re-
proach, they choose to get mad at us for
not fighting with them about it. These
belligerent individuals seem to be in very
much the same fix as the bellicose. Irish

After Smelling the woods all around for some

than a hundred shot besides their musketry.
-Four shot hit the Strader and two rounds
from their small arms. We can count % can
non ball holes in the Prima Donna. The Lit
tie hebel was hit with two or three, the Sig
nal with three, the Gen. Lyon three or four.
and Kentucky No. 9 with few shot. Du-
ring all the action the rebel sharpshooters
were firing at any enc that was exposed. Yet

killed-one on the Rebel and one on the

wounded but none seriously. | cannot learn

guns worried faster or more accurately aimed

Re To phrase it mild, the river is
extremely low. STEAMBOATS, "kick up
dust" where ever they go. Whether
some of the Juvenile boats still run to st.
Paul, is a matter of doubt with US. 1t
may be that those drawing only three
inches can get over the bars while the
dow is on them. The large boats only
travel at all, by having stern wheeler

them. The different towns along the
river have made appropriations for wat
ering the most valuable fish, but Catfish
can daily be seen pleading with the boys
TO carry them home to breakfast. Seri-
ously the low water is of great damage
to this upper country.
