It is contemplated to proceed and put up
a College building next year. Our archf-
tect, Mr.. M. Burt, drew an excellent plan
for building that would accommodate
100 students, professors, cooks, kitchen
and dining room, lodging and homes for
all. Size of building 40 by 100 feet, four
stories, with basement and cellar; at
cost of So, 600 / am fully aware that a
building to accommodate 100 students can
be built for half that sum, under ordi-
nary circumstances, but when we build
a Farmers College, they must all board
at the Institution, like military school,
and a whole class must be on hand at
the tap of the bell TO march into the
field TO take practical lesson in farm.
ing And this outlay of expense in Farm
an(, board and home for the student will
lessen the cost of his education one-half
or more.
Our design is to begin with building

ing that our College will prosper so that
we shall be required to build other Col
Iege buildings TO accommodate 400 event

-aN Mahony insists that there is no
want of harmony among the Democrats
that the men who voted for Byington,
Fisher and Mason at the late Convention,
and those who voted for Tuttle, all concur
in sentiment and opinion and principle
There was merely difference of favorites!
Dennis ought to know. But we don't cred
it the statement merely because he makes
it. We believe nothing he says. Butt he,
by chance, tells the truth, what misera-
BILE set of scamps does it prove futile and
his friends! He makes them even worse
than himself and his fellow out-and-out
Copperheads. These are opposed to the
war, and they say so. Tuttle's friends, ac-
cording to Mahony, are equally opposed to
it; but they wanted to deceive the people
with the idea that they and their candidates
were "war democrats" We don't know
what Tuttle's gopinions really are. But ii
he would have accepted the nomination on
the Mahony platform he must have inten-
ded. as Hutchins said, to play false either
to the Government or to the Copperheads.
We have supposed Tutle was an earnest
Union man. But late events prove one OF
two facts,-either that he is much abused
man. or else is as bitter Copperhead as
the rest of the gang. We shall be glad to
find he is not the latter.

GEN. MEADE's personal APPEARANCE
AND STYLE.-As General Meade rode
through Frederick, yesterday afternoon, II
was whispered about from neighbor TO
neighbor, soldiers conveyed the news to
brother soldiers, and anxiety followed sur
prise. That feeling Of natural curiosity
whsh np ek us all to s G m M
was INDUCED in by citizen and soldier
alike.
He stopped at the United States Hotel,
and was soon visited by a deputation OF
the ladies OF the town. On being presented
womans feelings were expressed in wo.
mans style. "God bless you, General"
they would say, and with an emphasis that
showed the words issued from their heart.
They asked him to accept their bouquets
and wreaths in token of the patriotism OF
Frederick. 81 thank yOu,'' said General
Meade, mot for myself, but for my SOL
diers; they have won the victory, and to
them belong the laurels.' General Meade
turned to his staff officers, and TO General
Pleasanton remarked, in the hearing of the
ladies, zone Of these for you Pleasanton,
not only a brave, but bachelor" Gem
eral Meade shook the ladies all by the hand
and expressed the pleasure he felt in meet
ing them.
General Meade is exceedingly affable in
conversation. easily approached, and OF
lively, engaging manners. With no out
ward pretentions to superiority, he pre-
servers dignity which is noticeable be-
meath his careless exterior. His form is
gaunt and thin, impressing tho idea OF
bodily tenacity rather than strength, and
a capacity to endure fatigue that we could
not predict of more robust and invinci-
BILE figure. His high-top boots and loose
blouse are despatched with mud and were
it not for his shoulder-straps and inteli-
gent face it would be difficult TO distin-
guish that he was not a private in the
ranks. His face is almost covered with
beard, and hist neck displays leather
| stock that might have been used in the
| days of his ancestors. He is otherwise
colorless, being of CHASTITY pale, with
thought, study and anxiety marked upon
every lineament. His mind speaks
through his eye, and tells you alta glance

RciOicings at Pella.


EDITOR HAwK-EYE: Last Tuesday we
had quite celebration on account of the
surrender of Vicksburg. Preparations were
made in the Garden Square in front OF my
house-the trees were supplied with color
ed lanterns with appropriate devices, exc
cuted by our skilful Postmaster. The meet
ing was organized by appointing Mr.. A.
Donnel, Chairman. o. L. Abbott, Esq,
who was an efficient member of our last
State Convention, made the opening speech,
and was followed by M. TYEE, Esq, life
long Democrat, who had Just returned from
the so-called Democratic Convention at Des
Moines, with the conviction that that as
semblage was not fair representation OF
genuine democracy. Mr.. Huntington and
DR.. Dilley spoke aiterward. There was a
good choir of ladies accompanied by Me-
lodian, and several appropriate patrlouc
songs were executed during during the
evening. At intervals salutes were fired,
bontires kept up, while the boys showed
their skill in throwing tire-balls. 1t was
finally resolved that the proceedings of the
meeting should be published in the Hank
Ege and Knoxville Republican, when, after
a final song from the ladies, the meeting
adjourned.
While the loyal citizens of'Pella were cell
ebrating the victory of our gallant army,
there were some miscreants who could not
conceal their spite. Two fire-balls were
thrown amongst the ladies, then something
harder was thrown at Mr.. Abbott, who was
speaking, but struck a lady in the head
During the speaking the fence OF the Gar
den Square, on the west side was much
damaged, and after the meeting was dis
solved, and the people had gone to rest,
some fiends, in human shape, stole into
Garden Square and set fire 10 the boxes
and boards used for seats. Notwithstand-
ing such sneaking rascals try 10 work in
the dark, they are known and spotted, and
if they do not cease to annoy peaceful and
loyal citizens, they will find ont by and by,
that there exists sucha thing as retribution.
We are for thewidest range of free speech,
but we cannot tolerate, that citizens who
are quiet, shall be disturbed and annoyed
in their persons and property, by such mis-
cradle sympathizers with rebellion.
Having, with this communication, COM
piled with the wishes of the meeting. am
your obedient HENRY =. SCHoLTE.

An Episode in Iowa Copperhead
Politics..

Nothing has ever turned up in Iowa poll
itics quite as richa as the little int1iguewnach
came out at the Evening Session of the late
Copperhead Convention at Des MONIES, as
detailed by the State Register. Every body
knows who and what the Copperhead lead
ers are in this State, and what have peen
their necessities. They have wired IN ana
wired out, turned short corners, ana the
dear knows what besides. But this intrigue
of .Coolbaugh, Hudson Co., bangs every
thing. 1t was very sly affair and Kept
very closely, but got out some how. Hud-
son, the reliable Democrat, left heresome
time since for Vicksburg, but we supposed
he had gone to see Cousin Ulysses, and at
tend to business in that quarter personally
sec that the Capitulation was all right,
etc. We never dreamed that he had gone
down to secure Military Candidate for the
Copperheads, with whom they could cheat
the soldiers out of part of their votes. But
such it seems was his business. Or, at any
rate somebody was to be cheated. Either
the Copperheads were to be cheated into
voting for loyal man, or loyal men, and
even our soldiers were to be cheated INTO
voting for tool Of the managers, who took
the precaution to find out whether or not,
thew could use him, before they put him in
nomination.
1t seems that our "reliable" friend Hud-
son, was regularly employed for this busi-
ness by Elwood, Chairman OF the State
Committee, Judge McHenry advising. Ed.
Johnston, of Fl. Madison, was prominent
in the intrigue, and our late fellow-citizen,
w. F. Coolbaugh, was the messenger, or
medium of communication between EN-
bassador Hudson, the reliable and FL
wood, the Chairman of the Committee, and
principal manager. How Mr.. Coolbaugh
came to be mixed up in the matter we can
not say, possibly owing to intimate rela-
tionship and personal friendship between
Mr.. Hudson and himself.
Well, Hudson did his part of the work
well, perfectly, as Mr.. Coolbaugh's cabal-
istic dispatch to the managers at Des
Moines, shows:
Chicago, July 8, 1S63.-D. o. Finch, Des
Moines: The General will accept, and pre-
fers the New York Soldier.
But the New York Soldier would moi
fight. D. O. Finch played false to. the
schemers, exposing the plot and blowing
the whole business. Ed. Johnston, altho
heavy man, was not strong enough in the
loins, to carry this thing through after
Finch's expose, and Gen'l Tuttle, Elwood
ambassador Hudson, Mr.. Coolbaugh and
the New York Soldier, were all swept by
the board by the broadsides OF Hutchins
Mahony and the other pronounced seces'
sionists in the Convention.
Copperhead politics in Iowa, are now
cleared of all complications, and Invested
of all uncertainties. No one SO stupid as
to be mislead.
