from bringing up their artillery, aud they
attempted to carry our redoubts by infant

the direction Of Fort Curtis and took three
lines of our rife pits. The flank attack
was not SO successful, which subjected the
centre columns to terrific fire which swept
them down in great numbers. they were

A OHuNK OF FIGHT John Green and
David Prosser met in Simon's Saloon early
on on Monday evening, and took socia,
glass together. Seemingly upon the best OF
terms with one another. This cordiality,
however, did not last In fact it was of the
breefes t. Mr.. Prosser, having fancy for
bit of scrimmage, or possibly having
some grudge against Mr.. Green. took occa-
sion to enquire about Mr.. CPS. name fami-
ly and occupation, in o manner somewhat
more abrupt than is usual among gentlemen,
and followed that up by knocking Mr.
Green's hat off several times. Mr. Green
was not disposed to tolerat a continuance
of those proceedings, and proceeded to knock
Prosser down, and to jump on him and
stamp him after he was down. Prosser
bled most profusely, and was badly hurt,
and would have been worse hurt if by-stan-
ders had not interfered, and taken Green
off. These are the particulars as represented
to us.
The next day Green and several of the
Spectators were before the Mayor Prosser
was sick and not able to attend The trial
ofthe Spectators took place on Tuesday and
all were acquitted. The trial of Green came
off yesterday, and he was fined 80 and
costs. We hope to hear of no other case of
the kind. 1t is disgraceful.

CoUNrRRrEI1EK ARRESTED man calling
himself N. Smith, was arrested in this city
on Friday last week, for passing counter
felt money. Having passed a 81 bill at
Belts Clothing Store, which was ascer-
tanned to be counterfeit, he was reported to
the Sheriff and arrested. He had over
$500 in counterfeit bills, on the Portland
Bank, Vt, and the Delaware County Bank
Pa, on his person, pretty well executed,
but paper poor. A package was received
at the Express office on the same day, d.
rooted to Nathan g. Smith, which being
called for by Mr.. N. Smith, the Sheriff took
charge of on suspicion of containing fur
ther supply Of counterfeits. On bling ar
raigned before Justice Douglas, and con-
fronted WITH Walter Goldsmith, on whom
the So bill had been passed. the fellow tried
to put on the innocent dodge; didn't
know the bill was counterfeit, AVID tender
ed a So green back, which Walter OF course
received, but declined to return Portland
bin. This was before the examination Of
his person, and the discovery Of the $500
in counterfeits He was held for trial and
committed in default Of bail. The public
should exercise care in taking paper on the
above mentioned banks, as doubtless asys-
tematic effort has been made to put it IN
circulation.

CELEBRATION TUESDAY NIaHT.-The news
Of the taking Of Vicksburg, received by the
evening train on Tuesday night, caused the
widest outburst OF feelings and enthusiasm
we have ever witnessed here. 1t was indis-
cribable. A bonfire was kinded at the
Public Square, the bells were rung, the Band
lent their aid of music, the cannon roared,
the delighted citizens, men, woman, and
children, came forth from every quarter, I'M
til seemingly the population of the whole
City was present, and in the humor for CIV
ing expression in every form to the feelings
with which the heart was overlooking, un-
merous short pithy speeches were made,
and ELECTED abodndec applause. Cheer at
ter cheer rent the air for President Lincoln,
Gen. Grant Gen. Meade, Gen. Butler, and
every other name prominent in connection
with the union army and cause: 1t was a
late hour before the crowd consented to 60
home.

While war absorbs the minds of men,
And all true hearts wish peace again,
While patriots brave have left dear homes to fgh
For Freedom, Liberty and Right;
Yet party strife still seems to hold the sway,
And politicians fight to rule the day:
Forgetting. that, united we must be,
Or neer exist as nationally free.
TITS hard indeed that ALL for country's sake,
Can not unite as ONE, from Gulf to Lake.
But worse by far that we In North should drag
To earth by wrangling our once noble flag
There's still one hope-and one Is all,
To hold our right, avert our fall;
IT'S simply this-'nid canyons roar
Proceed TO Betts's Clothing Store;
The antidote he gives for cure
Is mild and pleasant, and tits sure;
He sells you first, Goat, Pants, or Hat
And then to match, nice Cravat;
II still you want you'll get shirt,
Which comes to you as cheap SIS dirt;
He keeps to give to all he suits
Gloves, Collars, Comforts, Caps and Boots
Or anything that you may lack,
From Shoe-strings to a carpet-sack.
For those that ready-made won't please,
He'll meet their wants, their troubles ease
He keeps the best OF goods on hand
Give fits that can't be beat by man;
Ais styles are new, and always neat,
For tasty dress he can't be beat.
Come then come all and buy of those
Who gives you bargains In your clothes.

CoPpERHEAD's ON THE RAMPAGB.-Two
young men named Fisher and Wittenmyer
were arrested on Monday night in Riehland
Township in this County, for resisting an
enrolling officer. The copperheds of the
neighborhood turned out the next day to
the number of some 40. armed with shot
guns and rifles, and came to Ottumwa to
intercept the morning, down Keokuk train,
on which they supposed the prisoners
would be passengers, with the avowed pur
pose of rescuing them. Here they were
joined by considerable nupber of copper
heads of the place constituting together
quite crowd Ohey had deposited their
arms in wagons before they entered town.
The prisoners were not found, for the rea-
son that they were not here having gone in
another direction. Accordingly the brave
army dispersed.
1t seems hardly possible that these de-
luded men could have fully realized the full
import Of this overt act of treason, or the
consequences which would surely nave fol-
lowed the consumation Of their designs
At all events they are doubtless far less
guilty than are the leaders who have delud.
ed them into the belief that it is right and
the duty OF the citizen to resist forceably
the execution of the laws they do not ap-
prove. The CONSUMPTION law is law ofth
land, and such must be obeyed. The
young men will have fair trial and if found
guilty, they will suffer the penalty of the
law. Ifnot found guilty they will be &C
quilted. This is all there is of it.
