The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1863-09-12


Knoxville, called the Confederate dothor1-
ties. / will commence with this heil-born
and hell-bound rebellion, where the trail
tors forced me TO leave off, and all who
wish the paper would do well to begin with
the first issue, as / intend that single paper
shall be worth the subscription price to
any unconditional Union man!
In the rule of my editorial conduct,
shall ahjure that servility which destroys
the independence of the press, and cast
from me that factious opposition which
gives to party what is due to country. And
while the name of my journal indicates, in
unmistakable terms, it's politics, shall, as
faithful sentinel, forget Wings, Demo-
Gratis, Know Nothings and Republicans,
and remember only Government, and the
preservation of the Federal Union-as
richly worth all the sacrifices of blood and
treasure their preservation may cost-even
to the extermiuation of the present race of
men, and the consumption of all the means
of the present age!

once, prominently, and sending me the
paper to Cincinnati, will be favored with

DEBIT AND CREDIT.-There is a story
current in the newspapers that o. P. Func-
tiOnary Buchonan was recently accOsted at
a railway station by a singls-armed SOL
der, who, shaking the stump of his lost
limb in the very face of the Ex-President,
said sayagely: ~ am indebted to you for
this! 81 non zero, ben trooato-if not true,
at least well turned, as the Italians say
1t must have been as pleasant to the old
gentleman as the ghosts to Richard the
Third, or the sightless specter TO Macbeth.
However, we are breaking vow, which
we long since registered, to make no more
mention of this demi-deceased Democrat.
Our business is with those still vital enough
to be mischievous.
Before this war of ours is over, unless
there shall be,a great contritiOn among the
Copperheads, there will be many arm
stumps, and faces enough in which they
may be properly shaken. Men who return
from doing their country's battle, MANNED,
hating and broken in body for all their
coming lives, will hardly regard the Sey-
INQUIRIES and Vallandighammers with ten
der affection. They will naturally inquire,
who, while they were risking all except
their souls and fragrant memories, in the
cause of the Constitution, stigmatized the
war in which they were engaged as cruel
and unjust to the dear Confederacy. They
will be pertinaciOusly inGuisitive in res
pect of certain Conventions and of certain
Delegates to those Conventions. They will
be apt, we think, to compensate for any
advantage which may have been taken of
the snarlers and the sneerers to tombs
which will never open their ponderOus and
marble jaws, for Doughface resurrection!
There is an earthly limbo preparing for
dabblers in disaffection, in which the
World will afford no comfort, and the E,r-
press be only an aggravation! We advise
the gentlemen with copper caputs to make
the most Of their time now. A day is COM
ing in which there will be no place for
them in this commonwealth. Men will re-
member all their fearful ullaloos for South
ern sufferings-their fierce denunciations
of the conscription-thei Indictment of
mobs which, when provoked and evoked,
they did not dare to healthier studied de-
probation of the public credit-men will
remember all. For our own part, we
cheerfully offer this little contribution to
record which should be carefully kept. We
counsel the strict payment of all debts-of
the national debt to traitors specially

ADDRESS OF Hon. REvERDY JOHNSON.
SARATOGA, Friday, Sept. 4-Reyardy
Johnson, of Maryland, addressed the Sara
toga County Agricultural Society here TO-
day, at their Fair, on invitation given YES
terday.. His address was brief, and largely
devoted to national affairs. It was perya-
ded by y spirit of intense devotion to the
Union, and enioined the duty OF sustaining
the Government in the struggle with the
rebellion. Without expressing an opinion
as to the validity of The characterization
Proclamation, he held that if, in the exer-
else of any constitutional war power,
slaves should become free, they cannot be
re-ens!aved; and if not, then the whole
question would rest with the people Of
those States, when they resumed their
places in the Union. Slavery was an evil
fruitful of national difficulties, and would
eventually fall in the contest with free
principles.-Ob~. NJ Z. Times.
A CITY FATHER AND MODEL HUs-
BANDA bill has been filed in the Recor-
ders Court by Susanna Kann, wife of Con-
stantine kann, Dem ocratic Alderman from
the fifth ward, praying for decree of di-
vorce from her husband on the ground of
excessive and persistent cruelty. The
complainant sets forth one of the most
heartless cases Of wife beating that we ever
heard of. It alleges that he has frequently
knocked her down, kicked her, choked
her and confined her az a prisoner in her
own house, and caused her, on one COCA
sion to fall down stairs, to the great injury,
as she AYERS she believes, of her then I'M
born babe. She alleges that he struck her
upon the mouth so iorcibly, upon one oc-
casion, as to knock one of her teeth down
her throat; that at another time he knocked
her down with q water bucket, and then
threw her upon bed, telling her to lie
there and die like q brute, ETC., etc.-Chs-

OVER NIAGARA FALLs.-The Rochester
Democrat has the following: "a rumor
reached US on Saturday that two more
victims had gone over Niagara Falls from
the American side, on Friday evening.
II is stated that at o'clock in the evening,
just after dusk, party of gentlemen
crossing the bridge from Goat Island, saw
q boat containing two men coming down
the rapids. 1t passed beneath the bridge
ana soon disappeared. 1t was supposed
that tho unfortunate men ATTEMPTED to
cross from Chippewa, and that the current
proved too strong for them as they reached
this side OF the river. If the rumor is
confirmed it will cause more caution to be
exercised in crossing tho river at that
point, than has heretofore been exhibited.
