The Burlington ArVa4s publishes an
improbable story about the. murder of
two men in Clark county by abolition
cut-throats." :" The. account is written
by girl, who heard the story from
other parties, and who speaks ofone of
the men as having been "killed dead'
in his bed. There has probably been
some trouble in Clark county, but as
near as we can learn it was caused by
"peace" men organizing with deadly
weapons to resist the draft. About a
dozen of them, it appears, were arrested
and sent to Desmoines for trial. Fl
The draft has been postponed in the
lst District, on account of the unsettled
condition of affairs on the border.
The cars are now running on the
Cedar Rapids and Missouri River Rail-
road to Skunk River, distance of ten
miles west of Nevada, and it is the in
tention of the Company to have them
running to Boonsboro by the middle of
November next, so says the Boonsboro
Tribpae. .,- =

Tie city of Dubuque escaped the draft
by her citizens filing herquota with vol
unteers by the aid OF liberal bounties.
CARS RUNNING TO MARIoN.-The
Dubuque Southwestern Railroad was
opened to Marion tn the 10Th inst, to
the great Joy of the Inhabitants of that
thriving place. ...
Eight of the twenty-four substitutes
who were sent away from Davenport,
last week, succeeded in making their es-
cape between that place and Cairo
They had endeavered to get away while
in camp and We're secured in irons be-
fore leaving, but managed on the route
to get themselves loose and evade the
guard.
Official information has been re-
ceived that in the recent battle at Al

DRAFTED AND INsANE.-We learn
from the Dubuque Times that L. B.
Smith. of Jackson township, Jones
county, who was drafted few days
since, has become insane since he was
notified to appear at Davenport for ex-
animation. Anxiety and perplexiety
in regard to the matter caused his in
sanity, he having repeatedly said he
would neither serve nor obtain sub
stitute if drafted. He is a well-to-do
farmer, and could easily have furnished
q substitute.
There WAS another big scare at
Keoknk, on Wednesday morning, caused
by a report that the notorious Bill An
derson's gang of cutthroats was in Clark
county, Mo, only short distance from
the city. Citizens were called out of
their beds at o'clock in the morning by
the firing ofcannon and ringing of bells,
and the soldiers in the hospital and the
militia were armed for the fray. The
report of the immediate proximity of
Anderson proved to be untrue, though
much apprehension still existed at last
accounts.
Democratic Sympathy.
"Resolred, That the sympathy of the Demo-
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extended
to the soldiers of our army" &c.
So said the men who made the Chica-
go platform.
