Our cotemporary is requested not to part
with its linen just at present. In good time,
doubtless, the figures will be forthcoming
from the official who promised to furnish
them. Whether these figures will materi-
ally change those presented by the Ga<ette
is uncertan-though for the good name Of
our county We trust they will not. We are
in no particular hurry about the figures
We can wait. and after having waited as
long as we think proper a call viii be made
for them IN more specific form, and the
pasonal reasons why the cali is made, will

HARD TO PLEAsE-The time was two or
three years ago, when farmers were selling
their corn for 10 and l6 cents per bushcl
Oh, if they could only get forty cents per
bushel how happy would they be-they
wanted nothing better, they then said
Now they are getting 50 cents, and think it
an outrage that they cannot get a dollar

[From tho Rock lsland Union, 1sth.]
Yesterday there was considerable stir
among the setesh inhabitants Of Davenport
and Rock Island, WHO synlpathl=e with tic
under The leadership Of Judge Grant, noto-
rioIs coppe.head, proceeded in q body to the
island, to distribute presents to the men who
have been In the employ OF JEFF. Davis, hut
who are now being dfeted By Uncle Sam.
They showed their sympathy for. the poor
been taken prisoners By our loyal troops, By
feeding them with cho}ce niLe tit-hits, and
carrcssing them with the smiles Of approha-
tion ut what they had done-in the name Of
their masters, the Devil and JeE. Dayis-by
bestowing upon them llberaily out Of their
abundance Money was no object to these
people. Our own soldiers wives and little
ones might be starving in our very midst for
food, but what cared they for the offspring
of those who hnyo "fought our Southern
brethren''? Some OF these very rebels, per
haps, Lad been the means Of making some Of
these mothers and litt2e ones husbandlessa and

fathers or great-grandtathers owned human

them in her lap, and administered that which

Their wishes were complied with and they

the repentant rebels come, but 1t Is really too
bad that they did not come over before they
were feasted By their Northern sympathizers

Tie Chinese are about entering upon the
