Immediately recognized the body as that o.

From the testimony of the physicians pres
ent, it appears that Mr.. B. was knocked

blunt instrument, and afterwards kicked and
stamped upon. His face and breast were
badly bruised, and bore heel marks. The
skull was not fractured. The jury, in &C
cordancc with the above, returned verdict

4 GREAT OUrRAGE.-One of the most out
rageous proceedings that has yet disgraced
our State, TRANSFERRED in Muscatine, ON the
25,h. A mob of soldiers and "abolition
civilians" surrounded the residence of Mr.
Thayer, editor of the Courier, compelled him
to lay down sick child which he was hold
ing in his arms, and, with b,andished reyolv-
ers, loud, uproarous and threatening language
forced MIN from his home, took him down to
the Mayors office, and administered what the
JOURNAL, in its wild exultation, terms I" an
oath of allegiance" 1t was done in open
day, and with the acquiescence. if not cordial
approval of the Republicans Of Muscatine.-
Mr.. Thayer is an estimable gentleman and q
sincere patriot, but simply because he be-
licves in his right to be Democrat, he is
thus logged, outraged, and subjected to vlo-
lence.-Du6uque Herald.
The Herald is informed that the present
incumbent Of the Mayo Office, In this city,
is of the Copperhead school Of politics. Did
Mayor Funck administer that oath of allegi-
ance, Edward? By the way, the Copper
head press in Iowa are publishing to the
world that the editor of the Courier was re-
Gently outraged. Who is the editor, and who
did it? That's what the people want to
know.
