and attendance, and in few days the fight
will be over. The people Of McGregor 60

Since our last issue VIC have met here
nearly everybody. The venerable Mr..
Houghton, Elk editor of the Galena Gazette
and father Of Northwestern printing, (35
years in the business,) honored US with a
call. Armstrong Of the Lansing Journal,
Felt of the West Union Record, Hutchins,
late of the Dubuque Herald, and Hodnett,
now of the Herald, also called to see US.
Easton, the Banker Of DEBORAH, made us a
very pleasant call on his way East. Frank
Teabout, Seth Minckler, and Bodwell, OF
Chicago; delegation Of gentlemen from
Fond du Lac, Winnie, Capt. Sherwin, and
two Or three hundred more good fellows
were about here during the last week and
the first Of the present one. Sergeant Ea-
ton Of Go. d. 10th Michigan, brother to
ZAP of machine notoriety, made us a
pleasant call. Lieut.. Brewer of the 7th
Cavalry, returned on Friday and went to
West Union. The sight of Brewer always
always makes us have more respect for
humanity-he is a soldier and MAN.
1t. Moe hands us patriotic poetic contri-
button from "A lady of Massachusetts,"
which we will find space for next week. ..
Our young friend Geo. G. Wood of the
