reports they all vote one way-for the

treasure in the skirts OF his coat whittier it

He seemed rather discounted upon find

The Gate City says the Route Agents
on the Keokuk road are efficient and faith
full in the discharge of duty-that the fail
ure Of our paper to 60 west is owing to the
cars on the Burlington road missing the
connection at Ottumwa. It seems incred;-
BILE that the Burlington train, leaving here
at $40 .. M, should miss the connection

run through in seven or eight hours. New

~0-In the First Congressional District,
the draft, III nearly every particular, has
passed OF In the most satisfactory manner.
Those who have been drafted have almost
universally come forward and reported
themselves, and Capt. Ruttledge has been
put to but comparatively little inconven-
fence in hunting up tardy drafted men.

report as he should have done, and what,
think you, is the result? Why, George is
in Jail, of course, having been arrested as q
nd oil &C
lining hovers over his future. Poor
George! he skulked and skedaddled, here,
there and everywhere, in order to evade
his country's call, but was finally cornered,
and his fate is now exceedingly problem
atical, and he and we are deeply concerned as
to what will be done with him, but time
will only determine his fate. At present
he is safe, but what the future has in store

journals got over boasting about '.whip-
ping us i've to. one" and probably will
never indulge in such silly braggadocia
again. Still we are inclined with General
Butler to invite them to return to their al
legiance to the Government. Our words
are-''Come back. come back now, leave
of feeding upon salt junk and corn
husks, and we will share our mashed
potatoes and spring chickens with you
your wives and daughters shall lay aside
their old dirty tattered habiliments and
strut about in fashionable attire, and next
summer you shall have luxuries from the
North, not forgetting ice for your mint ju-
leps. Come back. but hereafter don't be
