RWe have received a communication
from an indignant "Sodier's Wife," resenting
the insult of the Courier in its con :emptuous
allusion to the ''women. children and small
boys" who are in the habit Of attending "ab-
clifton meetings. The article is not put to-
gether in proper shape for publication, but its
sentiments are all right. We agree with the
sport of the interest felt by the wives and
children Of our soldiers in this war deserve
the scorn and contempt of all good citizens.
They will begin to re'lize some hing of their
infau on the 18th of October.

A COpperhead Meeting ON nusca.
time island.
For the M uecatius Journal.

- For the Muecatins Journal.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-I will endesvor to give
you some idea of the Copperhead meeting
held last evening, at the Lower School House,
on the Island.
The meeting was grand failure. There
were twenty-four voters present, ten OF whom
were Republicans. There were also four or
five ladies' present, and number of small
children, some of whom Gudging from their
cries. did not relish the proceedings.
The me ting was organized by calling W.
Hoyt to the Oh ir, who introduced Samuel
Glide t. who stated that public speaking was
not in his line, but as it was fashionable for
ca didates to stump the county, he must do
so to be fashi nable. He was down on the
negro. He left the State of his birth on &C
count of the Negro society, and came West,
hoping he would be free of the Niger; and
in 1889. he, with others. had a law passed
preventing their emigration, except by giving
$500 bonds. His whole talk was Nigger
first, N gqer last, and Niger all through
He concluded by introducing j. H. Wallace,
who spread himself, and certainly made q
splurge. Methipks if any one could have re-
lated 1ESop's fable of the fly on the ox's horn,
he Woulu certainly eFdpordteu. Ao Pio'
posed number of questions to the meeting,
when answered proved HIM to be good abo-
litionist, yet he abhorred the name. He was
very severe on Jacob Butler, who had said in
his Wallace's hearing, at public meeting,
that he would support the families of thirteen
volunteers, and had to this day to give the
first dime out of his own pocket, but was
seen going around the street with subscrip-

REVIEW "A review of the I'd Iowa caval-
ry, Major Coon commanding. took place last
evening, near the Fair Grounds. Accord ng
to our judgment, the regiment is one of the
finest we have ever seen. Th"ir discipline,
order and drill appeared so perfect that none
present could but pronounce in their favor -
Our Judgment, however, me ms nothing when
compared with the Inspector General (Col.
Nilson,) who pronounced the I'd Iowa cavalry
the best cavalry regiment, and the brigade 10
which they are attached, (Col. Hatch COM
manding,) the best brigade, in the army Of

on the 25th, perfecting arrangements for the
convention of the loyal ladies Of the State, to
be held here, on the eth and Sth of October.

several of the Aid Societies throughout the
State, heartily approving of the plan, and
promising full delegations.
Several of the speakers that have been in
vited, among them Gov. Kirkwood, Hon.
Hiram Price ard Hon. J. B. Grinnell, have
signi6ed their intention of being present in
our city during the week. Mrs. Wittenmyer
is sanguine of full attendance of delegates
The selection of our city as the place in
which to hold the convention is quite an
honor. Mrs. w. informs us that it was done
because of the patriotism and generosity of
our citizens, this being the banner war coun-
ty, and the Ladies' Aid Society the banner
society of the State. We may we'll feel proud
that our city can base it claims to favor on
such noble grounds.

VALUABLE INVENTION Mr.. J. j. Rider, who
lives near Wilton Junction, has invented a
corn planter with which one man can plant
fifteen to twenty acres per day. A boy plant
ed one hundred acres in six days with one of
these machines, without any help. The plant
er is worked with the feet, so that the person
working it can use his hands to guide the
team. Mr.. Rider intends to manufacture these
planters in this city.

Mr.. EDITOR Il was surprised at seeing in
the Courier so long and violent an article on
the death of Mr. Ferry last spring.
A plain statement of a few facts spoils the
whole thing:
l. Mr. Piosser and Mr.. Ferry were personal
friends, and visited each other with their fam
lilies.
2 They were both drunk at the time of
the quarrel. Bad whisky, and not black re-
publicanism, was the matter.

collision, but personal and offensive aluson
to some family m alters, and Mr.. Ferry struck
the first blow

DETROIT, Nov. ~. q
There is very little doubt that plot has
been formed by the rebel refugees in Canada
to make hostile demonstrations on the Lakes.
There is not enough, however, made public to
make their designs fully apparent, but what
ever they may be it is safe to say that our
authorities are on the alert, and the conspira-
tors will meet with warm reception.
BUFFALO, Nov. IL.
The following was received here to-day:
WASHINGTON, Nov IL, Midnight
10 the Mayor Of Buffalo,:
The British Minister, Lord Lyons, has to-
night officially notified the Government that
from teegraphic information received from
the Governor General of Canada, there is rea-
son to believe that there is plot on foot by
persons who have found an asylum in Canada,
to invade the United States and destroy the
City OF Buffalo. That they propose 10 take
possession of some OF the steamboats, on Lake
Erie and surprise Johnsons Island, set free
the prisoners OF wan confined there and pro-
coed with them to Buffalo. This government
will employ all means in its power to suppress
any hostile attack from Canada, but as other
towns and cities OH the shores of the Lakes
are exposed to the same dangers, it is deemed
proper to communicate this information to
you, in order that any precautions which cir
cumstances will permit may he taken. The
Governor General suggests that the steamboats,
or other vessels giving cause for suspicion by
the number or character of the persons on
board shall be arrested. You will please ac-
knowledge the receipt of this telegram. and
communicate to this Department any nfor,na-
ton You may now or hereafter have ON this
subject.

NEW York, Nov. IL.
A Washington dispatch says contrabands
who left Gordonsville on Monday morning re-
port that the whole rebel army was encamped
on the railroad above Gordonsvile, having re-
crossed the Rapidan on Saturday and Sunday.
They were making arrangements for winter
quarters, but for the last day or two quite
panic was excited by stories of Meade's ad-
vancing in immense force. They have large
amount of stores at Gordonsville and at Mad
ison. They say large cavalry force was sent
westward to attack Burnside before Lee made
his movement northward in October. Small
bands Of armed guerrillas infest the whole
country north OF the Rapidan, but our cavalry
fail TO fine any large body of rebels.

A Cairo letter of the 9th, TO the Tribune.
says:

Mobile is to be attacked. The small number
Of rebels at that city will not be able TO save

iniorce the place, Grant win press forward
This move Of Gen. Banks insures the perma-
nent possession OF East Tennessee.

was beyond Tuscumbia. Since then his com
munication has been cat off, but it is likely
that he has already reached Chattanooga
