A Coward,

A Cows --.-----
One of our exchanges not of any force
however says George B. Mcclellan is boil
coward and traitor!" While in Chica
60 during the session Of the Democratic
Convention, smart young man used this
language before Wisconsin Lieutcnan,
who had participated in sic battles and
| skirmishes in force, before Atlanta, includ.
ing the celebrated and most sangulnary
contest at Kcnesaw Mountain. In this
last battle more than half the Lieutenant's
| company were killed the Captain of that
company had been private and the Lieu
tenant company officer in the army of
the Potomac, and like all who served under
Mcclellan they had learned to love their
great commander and to fight like heroes
for the honor Of the Flag. Well, as we
were saying, the brace, young, stout and
stay at-home Abolitionist called Mcclellan
"a coward and traitor" and the little
Lieutenant promptly knocked his mouth
out of shape with his fist. The defeated
slanderer applied to policeman and in an
hour afterwards the patriotic Lieutenant
had deposited FIVE dollars in the city treas.
ury for violating the civil law. That this
is true zee know, because prominen. Nc
Gregor man who happened to be present
was taken to the Justice Office as witness
to the assault, and he told us all about it.
More than this, we saw next morning, the
defeated man apologizing to the Lieutenant
and afterwards had the pleasure of taking
walk with the latter from and to the
principal hotels Of Randolph and Lake
streets, the Lieutenant being in full uniform
and wearing Mcclellan badge on his left
breast. He had previously told his Nc.
Gregor acquaintance that so long IS he had
money to pay fines no man in his hearing
SHOULD call Mcclellan coward or traitor
without being struck, or struck at
So much for the opinion and conduct of
a brave soldier. Contrast his manly con.
duct with the slanderous political byenas
who will say anything they arc directed to
4 the libel is but wrapped in greenbacks.

A letter received by friend in this
city from correspondent at Great Salt
Lake, Utah Territory, tells Of the dOings
of Artemus Ward amongst Htbe Saints F"
in the wilderness. The following is an
extract;
"Artemus Wsrd-the man who makes
Hgoaks is out here lecturing and excl
ting considerable stir among our sanity
population. His great lecture will be Civ
en- to night, in the Salt Lake City Theatre
the largest theatre anywhere west Of the
Rocky Mountains. 1: holds 5000 people
and Artemus will have it full, for every
seat has already been sold. Not all Of
them for cash however, thst not being our
way Of doing business; but for potatoes,
wheat, barley, onions and pork. Artemus
will have tomorrow morning, a barn yard
full of pigs, grsnary full Of of corn, some
hundreds of bushels Of onions, and pota-
toes enough to feed all the poor of Ireland,
besides considerable share Of green-bsoks
gold-dust from the Bsnnock mines and
chunks Of silver from Nevada Territory.
As matter Of course he will convert all
his "prOduce into coin or notes before
be leaves and sell his pigs in the best
market. Imagine the husband Of Betsey
Jane" dealer in pigs Imagine Artemus
Ward manufacturing "gosks into por-
cine qusdrupeds and living bladders of
lard Artemus has become great friend
Of President Brigham Young, but his con-
duct toward the President is giving rise
to much scandal. Brigham, as you know,
has many wives with any number Of chill |

not pretend to SAYS 10 the effect that |
Artemus in visiting the barem of the |
Prophet has beguiled The affections Of his |
fairest daughter. BE may take her with
him 10 Chicago, and if so, you will have a
sight Of one of our chief Mormon beauties.
The subject is tabooed here, but the rumor
is rife. Anyhow when ArtemUs Ward
next visits you and gives 3 lecture the
is that he will have some very
ftrsnge tales to toll of our Mormon T" Tad

A great source of loss to our oil refiners
is the amount of the article lost from time
to time by leakage. No matter what tbs
quality Of the barrels are the oil forces ite
way through them, and thousands of gal
Ions are lostin this way every year, which,
IL the barrels could be made oil tight
would be saved to the owners. Numerous
expedients have been resorted to, to cor
rect the evil, but with only comparative
success. Il is stated now, however, that a
New York doctor has discovered prepar-
alton which meets the case. Barrels pre-
pared in this solution, the inventor says,
can never leak and require no second sp-
plication. The pores of the wood being
completely filled with this insoluble solu-
ton become even harder than the wood it.

pand or contract. A barrel thus prepared
will be stronger, more durable, bear more
rough usage tnGn an ordinary barrel, and
the hoops fixed according to his plan, after
the barrel has undergone this process
never require re-hooping, and need but
four instead of six hoops. This may be
SO or it may not. The preparation is,
however, now bsing used on Oil Greek,
and in q very short time we shall be able
to judge correctly of Is value.

To enable us TO reply to the ''interroga.
tiion" Of "E. Fl in our paper Of yester-
day, in relation to bOunties and credits,
We have enquired Of those likely to knew,
and will state the rule TO be as follows;
A recruit will be credited to ward. or
township in which he receives a ward
bounty, provided the muster-in-roll shows
him as Of that locslity-the muster in-roll
is the evidence on which credit is given.
A soldier "who has served three years
and owes longer service" can be mustered
out and then re-enlist, and receive 8 bounty
from any ward, township, or county he
may elect, aud will be 80 credited if the
muster-in- roll shows him as Of that 10.
cslity.
To the question whether this rule is the
same now as heretofore, we learn it is not.
Colonel Psrrott, the Provost Marshal Gen.
eral, formerly held that a man must bs
credited in the ward, or township in which
he was enrolled but the War Department
oVerrIled him by an order Of January u,
and estab ished the above rules.
