gentlemen mostly drink their tea in tum-

slice of lemon, while the ladies take 1t IN

3 SAD AFFRAY.-On last Saturday night
an affray occurred at Garibaldi, five miles
east Of this place, which resulted in Sc
riously wOunding two men. The Ger
man friends of Mr.. II. F. 3. Passig, who
was about returning to the army, were
holding ball in Turner Hall in his
honor, and none but invited guests were
admitted to the Hall. This precaution was
rendered necessary from the fact that
crowd of loafers from the south side of the
river, have been in the habit Of crowding
in upon the Germans upon similar occa-
sions and seeking to create disturbance.
On saturday au;I,y evening" min az usual, this
cobs, Ed. Franklin and some fifteen others,
were on hand, and demanded admission,
which was refused. They then repaired to
the grocery of Mr.. Oelrnayer, shouting for
JEFF. Davis as they went. In a very short
time their conduct became so outrageous
that Mr.. Oclmayer ordered them out of
his house. They al first refused to go,
but they soon found that the place was
getting unhealthy for them, and went out.
Mr.. Oelmayer then put out his lights, went
out, locked his grocery and started with a
few other Germans to the Hall. The other
crowd had halted few rods from the gro
Gerry, by the side Of the road, and as DEL
mayer and his party came up they were
stopped, some words ensued, when some
one, said to be Ed. Franklin, fired four
shots from q revolver at the Germans, two
Of which took effect-one shot striking F.
Somewhat on the head, grazing the skull
some two inches. The other struck Henry
Deidrich in the bowels, and is dangerous
wound. The cowardly rascals then took
to their heels and left. -.
Two of the parties, Ed. Franklin and
George Hahn have been arrested and are
now awaiting preliminary examination
before the County Judge.-Keokuk County

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-On the night
OF the 10th inst, four of the prisoners, g.
w. Curtis, F. ii. BarteD, J. A. Barden and
Henry HoltZ, confined in the jail at De
Witt, made daring attempt to escape from
confinement. Sheriff Grisw old hay ing gone
to Fort Madison with a convict, had left
Messrs: Jordan and Cook TO attend the Jail
in his absence. At nine o'clock in the
evening Mr.. Jordan went into the hall OF
the Jail to contine the prisoners in their
cells, and was about closing the door after
him, when Curtis sprang several feet and
struck him in the face turning him partly
around. AT the same time Barden, Bar
ten and HoltZ sprang 10 open the door
which McCook and Mrs. Griswold were
endeavoring to hold by chain on the out
side. By the combined efforts of the four
the door was forced open and the prison
ers made rush for the kitchen door which
was locked. Being unable to get into the
kitchen, they ran into the parlor, broke
out window, and were about to Jump out
when Mr.. Anthony and some others who
had been alarmed, appeared at the outside
of the window and prevented their escape.
The prisoners Were Immediately locked in
their cells, and the next day put in irons.
Their appearance showed that they intend
ed to be successful as they had on their
best suits of clothes. Mr.. Jordan was Sc
verely bruised about the face, and Mr..
Cook hurt in the side. This is the third
attempt made by Curtis to escape since Ju-
~; once by false keys made of zine, once
by making breach in the wall, and last as
above stated.-Lyons Mirror, Sept. 18th

Ia Five towns IN Vermont at the last
election, voted unanimously for the Union
ticket. Not Copperhead, Butternut or

at our approaching election. We incline
to the opinion thata considerable number-
viii do SO. Indeed we shall not be much
astonished if several Counties send up
unanimous vote for the Union. We trust
it will be so, and not only unanimans but

@rThere is reported to be an immense
movement OF troops going on through In
diana and Kentucky. A letter from Indi-
annapolis, OF the 10Th of September, says
that within twenty-four hour preceding
nearly twenty Thousand troops had passed
through that place. Whence they came or
whittier they were moving is not stated
but as they passed southwark we may pos
sibly guess. We have no doubt that Bragg
has lost his opportunity forever. Rosecrans
has already been greatly strengthened in
numbers. This movement indicates that
very heavy reinforcements are moving up
to his support, and that he will speedily be
in such force as to be able to move on the
enemy with the odds in his favor.

re" Resignation seems to be promi-
nent virtue in Minnesota. The nominees
of the Copperheads resign so fast that the
State Committee are unable to keep the
ticket full. at last accounts two places
on the State ticket were vacant. That
must be a bad place for "snakes." It
must he owing 10 the climate. They can't
stand the cold, we guess. At any rate, the
prospect must be exceedingly gloomy
when men cannot be found to fill up the
list of candidates. We wish it were so
everywhere. But if the Copperheads are
so much worse in Iowa, all we have to do
is to see to it that they are beaten SO badly
that they will be glad to get into their
holes and hide themselves forever.

Union Meeting at WapeIlO.

We are told that the Union meeting in
Wapello, Tuesday, was one of the largest
and best political meetings ever held in
Louisa County. The attendance was large.
Hon. JAMES HARLAN and Col. CYRUS
BUssEY made eloquent speeches, which
were attentiyely listened to throughout
We are told that the good work goes on
well, and that Louisa County will largely
increase her majority:
@-Poor Dennis, after all his martyr
dom, is still unable to run for Sheriff in
Dubuque without opposition in his own
party. MIR. John Fortune, who don't like
"packed conventions" corruption, lone
man power" and wishes the Democratic
party to give expression to public faith, &C.,
announces himself as an independent can
didate for Sheriff in opposition to the ire
pressible Mahony. We are afraid the
prospects of Dennis are growing beautiful
~ less every day! If Fortune is after him
he is certainly in a bad way. But then
what better could be expected? How could
Mahony imagine that any true Democrat
would be guilty of voting for scamp Ike
him? 1t will be a terrible blow for Den
MS to be beaten for Sheriff, but we guess
it will be done.

RAIN AFTER BATTLEs.-The
theory of Prof. Espy, that rain
may be produced in any locality
by that disturbance of the atmos-
phere which results from great OF
continued cOnfagrations, is sup
posed to have found confirmation
during the present rebellion. It
has certainly been remarked that
rain showers of considerable vio-
lence and duration have often
followed or attended great bat
ties. But this fact does not set
tie the question whether the i'm
mediate cause of those showers
is the explosion Of gunpOwder.-
Indeed, before firearms were used
in war, the phenomenon of rain
after battle, was noticed. Thus
Plutarch, in his life of Caius Ma
rius, speaking Of a battle that oc-
cured about fifteen hundred years
before the use Of gunpowder in
Europe, says ''The opinion of
ArchilOcus is confirmed, that
fields are fattened with blood
1t is observed, indeed, that ex-
traOrdinary rains generally fall
after great battles; whether it be,
that some deity chooses to wash
and purify the earth with water
above, or whether the blood and
corruption, by the moist and
heavy yapors they emit, thicken
the air, which is liable to be al
tered by the smallest cause. "

Eleven RebeIIions,

Since the organization of the
Federal Government, eleven at
tempts have been made to resist
its authority. The first was in
l782-a conspiracy of some of
the officers of the Federal army
to consolidate the thirteen States
into one, and confer the supreme
power on Washington. The sec
Ond in 1887, Shay's insurrection
in Massachusetts. The third in
1894 called the Whisky Insurrec-
ton of Pennsylvania. The fourth
in 1914 by the Hartford Conven-
ton. The fifth in 1920, on the
question of admitting Missouri
into the Union. The sixth was a
collision between the Legislature
of Georgia and the Federal Gov
ernment, in regard to the lands
given to the Creek Indians. The
seventh was in 1880, with the
Cherokees in Georgia. The 9Th
was the memorable multiplying or
dinance of South Carolina, 1882.
The 9th was in 1921, in Rhode
Island, between the suffrage as
sociatiOn and State authorities
The tenth was in 1856, on the
part of the MOrmons, who resist
ed the Federal authorities. The
eleventh is the present unholy
attempt at secession.
