erQute number of immigrants from
.vnox county, Ohio, landed here last eve
ming. Among the number we noticed Mr.

vsts!
- Only four regiments Of To-day men
t.ve been Organized in this State. The
Fiat Congressional District furnished one
Il these four, and will have near four Com
lpanies more toward dlling another regli

N. The West Union Record says that
Eastern papers are vieing with each other
in abuse Of Gen'l Banks; and adds, that it
ia probably true that if half our Generals

have been in He'll long ago.
AAr General Burnside declared in q spe-
cial order that General Cochrane was ''Of
y no further use." Aud the Cleveland Con-
yeution, in putting the General on their
I ticket, have ratified Burnsides order.--
That's hard joke
IA The first Illinois regiment Of humid
red-dxy volunteers, which has gone for
ward for service, was the ls4th, which left
l Chicago for kentucky on Friday last. Our
FIRST regiment left Keokuk some time pre-
yious. We got the start Of Illinois that
/ time.
~ The slaves are reported to be enlist
ing very rapidly in Kentucky. That is
more than can be said Of their masters, We
guess. They obtain their freedom by the
oct. Their masters would do the same, but
very few of them unfortunately have sense
enough to ''see it,

caption of distinguished Arrival" says:
Eve noticed on the street yesterday, our
former fellow-townsman, Col. Moss. The
Colonel is the man who nominated FIRE.

Convention, and is a leading man among
the Radical Democrats in Missouri"
j: Big thing! Bah!
"A BRILLIANT IDEA.-The iKeokuk Con-
situation says the Societies for the non
consumption OF foreign goods, were gotten
up for the benefit of the New England
manufacturers. Brilliant! Brilliant! You
are not long for this world. Fix up your
little traps as fast as possible. That other
Gabriel wants you!
~ We are informed that Copperhead
Editor in this State called on life insur.
Ance agent few days ago, and stated tc
hi,u that he wished to get his ''life insur.
Cd The agent very promptly told him
that he couldn't comply with his request
"Our Instruction. said he, ''are not tt
take an insurance upon the lives of idiots
or FOOLS" Mr.. Cop ''immejantly" left.-
Wonder il this is the same Editor who los
his COW not long ago: Misfortunes never
come singly.
A-We had almost forgotten to mention
that the Cops had pow-wow in this city
ct Marion Hall, on Saturday last. They
assembled there en- nsasse, and appointed
delegates to attend the snake show, which
comes of ut Des Moines on the 18th inst
Their deliberations, we are informed, wer'
harmonious and loving. Some few OF tn
s"brethering'' from the country, were quit
happy, and thought the meeting was call
led to appoint delegates to attend the Chi
cago snake show! We hope our Col
friends will accept this a. our apology TO
not noticing their pow-wow earlier.
Na-The Gate CITY gives the following .
,areason for numbering the regiment or
gsnized at Camp Lincoln, the 18th:
The 44th regiment was named before
was born and as they were long tim
.borming it up there ut Davenport. the 45tl
wouldn't wait, but put of down the rive
before it was known the 44th had com
safely to the birth.
Well regulated families seldom nam
their children before they 'scome to town,
and We have never heard Of an instanc
svhere the ''second' baby was named be
fore the first one arrived. But, perhap
military" gentlemen do business differ
entity from civilians. Perhaps Geners
Baker can give us little enlightenment
ron the above complicated question. VIVA
say you, General?
SA- The Cops talk Of postponing thei
Medicinal" Convention until Septembe
next. They had better postpone the thin
indefinitely, and thus save themselve
further ignominy. No honorable man GU
be found this aide of Dixie, who will ~
cept Of = nomination from the hands OF tn
enemies Of his country. If the leaders
the Copperhead party in the North mus
have candidate for the Presidency, Il
! them put up JEFF. Davis, and thus show
J. the world that they are both brave an
consistent.
