A NEW ENrERrR1sE.-We learn that
a gentleman, formerly connected with the
Touring mill at Wilton, contemplates the es'
tablishmcnt of a WOODEN factory on Sugar
Greek, near Moscow, in this county. He is
thoroughly conversant in all the details OF
cloth manufacture, and expects to be able to
furnish wooden goods equal to Eastern man.
ufacture. This enterprise will, we doubt not,
prove profitable one to the owner. A larg'
amount OF wool is being raised in Iowa at
present, with prospects Of further increase,
most of which will 60 toward supporting
home manufactures when established. We
wish him ample success.
GONG TO THEIR HoLE.-We learn from the
Davenport Democrat that the LeClaire Dem
ocratic Club, composed Of the followers OF
Grant and Laurel Summers, and admirers Of
Thsyer, will give grand Fourth Of July Gel
ebration at "Snake Hollow"
Good place! We hope the atmosphere Of
"Snake Hollow" will be congenial to the
Copperheads of LeClaire. We admire their
taste. They understand the fitness Of things
up at LeClaire. Go to your hole, you Cop
pers up there, and when you get there make
"Snake Hollow" your permanent abiding
place.
A Big LlE.-The following article, COPIED
from JEFF Davis organ at Dubuque, thu
Herald, is pretty fair specimen Of the infa
nous lying resorted to by the Oopperhead
press in this State to intimidate Union mer
from celebrating the Fourth Of July. They
attempt to give forth the impression that
collision is to occur wherever celebration
is held:
"The Muscatine Courier informs US thai
the Union Leaguites of that city are drilling
military company for the Fourth of July
at which time the Leaguites have distinct
celebration, and that Kirkwood has sent, or
request, FIVE hundred muskets. We under
stand that the same thing is to be done here
and that the muskets have already arrived
We do not know, of course, how true it is
rumors being as plentiful as blackberries, bu
as the estimable F. E. Bissell predicted
trouble on the Fourth, perhaps he can tel
something about it. How is it Senator p"

standing the strenuous efforts Of the Musca
tine Courier to discourage people from at
tending the celebration in this city on tht
4th the people are everywhere in this vicini
ty preparing to attend en- nsdsse.
For the benefit Of our friends at dis
lance, we beg leave to say that the Copper
head organ in this city is working and pray
ing for the failure of the Union demonstra
ton. To this end, through their organ ant
runners, they insist upon the probabilities o
collision between the two parties. As tn
Copperheads will have no procession, bu
proceed at once to their grove, distant from
the grove selected by the Unionists full
mile in another direction, there is no proba
bility nor even possibility of any trouble
On the other hand, for the credit of the Uniol
cause and honor of the day, the Unionist
will carefully avoid any intercourse with tn
avowed enemies of the government.
The Courier has also stated the malicious
falsehood that the Hon. G. G. Bates, of Chi
cago, is engaged elsewhere on the 4th. Tn
committee of arrangements have two letter.
and one telegram from Mr.. Bates giving pos
tive assurance of his attendance here on tina
day. Nothing but serious illness will caus

Bates: Gov. Kirkwood and Judge Dillo'
