The pork season is near at hand, but as yet
! nothing is being done, nor can we expect any
thing before election. 1t is impossible to tell at
this time what pork will bring. Our packers
are prepared with facilities to put up all the
hogs that may come to this market, and brisk
competition may be expected. Farmers will do
well to fatten and sell early.

B@- \ Copperhead on the steamer
City of keithsburg, on her down trip
Saturday, made good deal of noise con-
corning the influence which he MAIN
tanned officers exercised over privates in
voting. On board the packet were a
considerable number of discharged SOL
diers, 900 days men, and at his own
request vote was taken among them,
which was to decide his theory. He as
sisted in the matter, and every soldier
voted for Lincoln. The vote was then
extended to the passengers, which re-
suited thus: Lincoln, 40: Mcclellan,
i. The aforesaid Cop. was McClellan's
only supporter on board. His name is
J. NJ. Bradford, and he lives in Quincy,

FROM DIXIE.-We had the pleasure
yesterday morning of taking by the
hand Capt. Jesse Lucas, of Co. X, 10Th
Iowa, who was recently exchanged,
having left Charleston, the Sodom of
Secessia, on the 9th of September. He
describes the city as almost deserted by
the inhabitants. Very few stores are
open, and scarcely any business is
transacted. The city is strongly forti-
fed, and is defended by about ten thou
sand men. Our fleet is almost constant
ly bombarding the city. Some days
two hundred shells are thrown into ii.
Our gunners seem to know the locality
of the prison where our officers are con.
fined, and avoid throwing shells there,
This is so we'll understood, that the in
habitants flock to the prison when the
bombardment is severest, in order tc
avoid the shells.
Joseph Lucas, a member Of the same
regiment, has also been released, and
reached home yesterday. He was con
fined two months in the stockades al
Andersonville, Ga. He says there were
about 81, 900 of our men quartered there
in pens, as thick as they could stand
He estimates that 1000 of them dice
during the confinement in this loath
some place, the chief cause of this fear
full mortality being starvation.-Daiiy

THE WISH WAS FATHER TO THE
THOUGHT. "-Charles Negus, the Cop
perhead speaker who addressed the Nc
Clellan Club Monday evening, was heard
to say in private conversation in this
city that he honestly believed the
Southern Confederacy is stronger to-day
than ever before A man who enter
tans this opinion in view of all that has
been done by our armies and navies
during the past three years and a halfis
either an ignoramus or a sympathizer
with the rebellion to such an extent that
he will not believe anything contrary to
what he wishes to be true.

SENTENCED.-Perley Valiandigham
has been sentenced to pay fine of one
hundred dollars and costs of suit, for
voting Illegally at the last city election.
The sentence was made as light as pos
sible, we suppose, in view of the fact
that he was made drunk and advised to
vote by Funck. If Funck has spark
of honor about him he Will pay the fine
and not suffer his poor victim to go to
prison.
