How THEY TAKE 1.-THE Copperheads
Of this city vince over the result Of Tues
days elections. The BARRIERS charge them
double price for shaving, owing to the
length of their faces. Some gave vent to
their rage by impious interjections, others
would come to q dead stand still in the
street. as the rumors floated to their ears
of Union triumphs, and gaze forward at
the ground, like hog in garden when
you whistle for the dogs, and others again
sought solace in ''tangle-leg,'
And With their shroats forsver se dry. '0~'
Around the town they plodding went
From groceree to gr0cerie."
They are completely dumbfounded, and
threaten to do every thing but commit sui
eide. One of them, who has grown veal
thy under the protection of our govern
ment and laws, but who was born in q
country governed by despot, swears he
will move to Canada-won't live here a
day after Lincoln's Inauguration for a Sec
ond term. Another said the result was
brought about by Lincoln's hirelings in
timidating the urterrified and forcibly
keeping them away from the polls, and as
for himself he would go straight home,
double-shot his gun, and with it cooked on
election day, march to the polls Haunting
his ticket in the faces Of the Abolitionists.
and if they uttered syllable he would
blow their id brains out. Another
swore that no dependence could be placed
on those id Pennsylvania Dutch. They
were like the Dutch everywhere else, and
that no help need b expected of the DID
cusses. So they ranted and clustered and
swore and drank all day,-uct of water,
mind you, for Copperhead hates water
like mad dog-but of the aforesaid stan
gle leg."s What they will do remains to
be seen. In the meantime the Union folks
are pocketing all the bets, and the Secesh
are in bad way in every respect. They
will be inferred in November, but whether
decently or not we cannot say.
4 SOUTHERN Iowa SOLDIERS FA1R.-The
total receipts of this Fair were twenty -one
thousand two hundred and seventy five
dollars ($2l ,275). Nearly six thousand dol.
lars of this amount was contributed in SAN
itary stores, which have been forwarded
fofou soldiers in the hospitals, through
the Sanitary and Christian Commissions.
The following four townships are the larg-
est contributors in this State in proportion
to their number of Inhabitants in 1850, ex-
elusive of Burlington:
Yellow Springs Population 1904; con-
tributed 8, 40s 58-S2 Is per head.
Denmark-Population S43; contributed
81, 1877 l5-$l A per head.
Clay, Warrington cdanty-Population
74l contributed 435s 800 4S per head.
Population 2, 49S contributed
1851 $50 4Oper head.
The officers of the Fair have decided that
the military monument presented by
Messrs. Donahue & McCosh should he
awarded to Yellow Springs township. 1t
will be lasting monument Of the patriot
ism and devotion Of the people OF that
township, n well a. = beautiful memorial
Of their honored dead who have laid down
their lives for the country. Yellow Springs
has given . noble example of liberality.
We doubt whether another township in the
land has done better. Had every town
ship in Des Moines county contributed in
the same proportion, forty thousand dol
lars would have been presented by our
county alone to this sacred cause. In ad.
dition to the amount reported from Ottum-
wa, six town lots, valued at one hundred
dollars each, were presented to the Fair
from that city. A record Of the Fair will
be published in few days.
9-The new iron.clad Monadnock has
returned to Boston from a very successful
trial trip, her performance being consider
ed satisfactory in every particular. She
was propelled at the rate of ten knots an
hour with all her stores on board.
