ms unknown individual sometimes
writes line or two for the La Crosse
Democrat and sometimes he speaks piece
to a congregation of laughing auditors. -
Fun, sentiment, sense, nonsense, invective,
pity, religion and devilment rattle through
his columns in admirable confusion. As
an Editor PoMERoY reminds us Of the diff.
ferent kinds Of meat to be found in Snap
ping Turtle, though we would not hint that
he ever Schnapps or that he has any of
the slowness Of the critter which we have
luckily thought Of as an illustration Of his
peculiar editorial richness. On the con.
trary he is very temperate; seldom drinking
anything but a little lemon-watcr; neither
chews or smokes the weed, and is as fast
in social or intellectual "git up'' as any
man on the continent. Young, well.built,
healthy, Eve cannot say handsome, a most
agreeable companion, ready for church or
the police station, reasonable and reckless
by turns, it is no wonder his paper is
opened with an interest thousand years
of the perusal Of many of the Josephus.
like journals of the present day could not
inspire. But we did not design to photo.
graph the young man! Lest some of our
readers may regard these few remarks as
ironical, we wish to say that every word
here written is meant for literal truth.
In his Daily Of June Island we here
take occasion to acknowledge an exchange
with our rather sedate and heavy TINES
Brick "goes for" BUTLER in the following
scathing invective. He quotes from the
Madison Journal "a Republican exchange
of more than ordinary candor and ability
the statement that Gen. Butler is failure
in the field, that his movements south
Of Richmond have injured Grant, that he
is unskilful, wants foresight and judgment,
&C., &c. On this confession of BEN.'s in
competency, Brick thus exhibits tho inten.
sity Of MS hate:
"Poor Butler! Whom the Gods wish to
destroy they first make mad, and if the
devils whelp who voted for jeff. Davis at
the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions
who sucked treason from Yanccy, limbo
cility from James Buchanan, and inherited
meanness from hell is not destroyed it will
be because he has not sense sufficient to
get mad. Of all the whelps in America
of all the traitors in the Dorth-of all the
thieves in the land--of all the hypoc,ites
ever born in this or any other country-of
all the mercenary wretches ever on earth
of all the venal politicians of the United
States-of all the incompetent Generals in
ever in the s0uth-Of at the dishonest
tricksters ever weaned-of all the rotten
and corrupt hearted scoundrels ever in
power, we believe as we believe that God
is eternal, that Ben Butler stands at the
head of the list"
Here is notice of fishing expedition !!
Ruble, Mcconnell, George, Durham, Hayt
L Co., will notice the proportion of shocks"
