WHO is HE?-A somewhat prominent
member of the Democratic party, not
many days ago. stepped into the County
Treasurer's office to pay his taxes. He
was asked if he had paid his road tax.
At first he rather equivocated, but upon
an examination of the books, said his
reason for not working it out was because
there was no Road Supervisor elected
for his district at the last election. Up
on further examination of the matter,
it seems that this very Democratic
worthy was duly elected, but his oath of
office requiring him to swear that he
would support the Constitution of the
United States, he had peremptorily re-
fused to be qualified for the Office. This
is modern Democracy for you. Refused
to take the oath prescribed by law, tried
to sneak out of paying his tax and then
lie about his own election. Well, that
isn't very bad for a Copperhead. Who
is he?

The FOURTH AT WEST LIBERTY
The gathering at West Liberty on the
Fourth, was doubtless the largest of
any celebration in the county. It
was estimated at from 1900 to 5000.
Addresses were delivered by D. C.
Cloud and John A. Parvin, Esqs., of
Muscatine, and by Kersey Holmes,
young man residing at West Liberty.
Each did himself honor on the ocea-
sion. Music was furnished by the Mus
catine Independent Band also, by the
glee club at West Liberty andby COM
pany of singers from this city, headed
by S. l.. Wade, Esq. Refreshment ia
bles were spread by the ladies of the
Soldiers Aid Society, and seemed to be
well patronized. A dancing platform
was erected, on which the devotees of
Terpsichore "tripped the light fantastic
toe" till near midnight. Everything
passed off pleasantly, we believe, and
without accident.

BRANDRErH'S PILLS.-They expel the poisons
which threaten life. Every time q sick person
is purged by this vegetable remedy, he has less
vitiated humors and more life and vigor, as any
one can prove by taking single dose. Persons
Of spare habits gain flesh and strength while
using them. Every time we rest a few days or
weeks from the purgation, we make new fluids
from our food, which replace the unsound ones
that the pills have caused to be evacuated. Each
time we repeat this process we expel further
quantities of impurities, which are again re-
placed by fluids less and less impure, so that in
short time, by continuing this treatment, we
bring back the whole mass of fluids or humors
TO that state of purity which constitutes health,
for Brandreth's Pills only take away humors
which are unsound.
Sold by all respectable dealers in medicines.

Government has received dispatches
from General Sherman to-day, stating that

Atlanta was being gradually invested by
our troops, who were intrelching them

Intelligence Of the successful result of
the cavalry raid on the road leading from
Atlanta to Macon was hourly expected.
There seemed to be no disposition on

it is probable the city cannot be taken

they have harvested
It is believed that the rebels are now
north of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Our forces were under marching orders
this afternoon, and forward movement
was begun.
The only fear now is that the rebels
will again get away before our forces are
able to concentrate. This officer confirms
my previous dispatch, that Longstreet is in
command but he thinks there is not over
thirty-fve thousand of the raiders. He
says crops in the Shenandoah Valley
never were richer than this year, and if
saved by the rebels would support the
whole COnfederacy half year. To get
this crop was believed to be the sole object
of the raid. and it would well repay them
for all trouble; he confirms my previous

Gently finished at the Fort Pitt Works,
has been placed upon the trucks which
we're built expressly by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, at their shops in AL

have already described these trucks, which
are constructing in the ordinary manner;
with the exception that everything about
them is of the most substantial material,
and bridge extends over both trucks
the ends resting upon heavy beams across
the centre of each truck.
Before the immense mass of metal was
suffered to rest upon the bridge, strong
props were placed under the beams, as a
precautionary measure, and so severely
are these props taxed that it is now uncer-
tain whether they can be removed at all.
1t is feared that if they are knocked from
under the beams the trucks will break
down or become so strained as to rendar
them unsafe. The gun has remained in
remained in this awkward position, in
front of the works, for twenty-four hours
past, and we are not advised as to what
course will be pursued.
The general impression is that the
trucks have roved failure. One of
the reasoI alleged is, that they have not
been properly hOg-chained; but the skill
ed worllmen who designed them will hard
ly concedc this point, unless upon the
most satisfactory evidence. In the mean
