Row AMONG THE FAITHruL.-Our readers
will remember the attempt at big splurge by
the Copperheads last fall, in, Seventy six
Township, when broiled "bull beef was If.
fered up as sacrifice. 1t seems the oxen
roasted on the occasion were furnished by a
trustv and trusting member Of the flock, who
relied upon the promises Of his brethren for
pay, which, not forthcoming in due time,
considerably riled the victimizsd Cop. He
has since kept up such an incessant Cumming
Of all his brethren, that to get rid Of his inn
portunities, meeting was Gale at the school
house to devise ways and means Of liquidat-
ing the debt. The appointed day came, and
with it the gathering Of the snakes at the
school house; and the creditor, who, like
Poe's raven, would not be denied, or rather
like Shylock, demanded his flesh, or it's
equivalent. The object Of the meeting was
stated, when = row immediately ensued.-
Some of the brethren inpocsntly inquired
what had become of the money contributed
by them before the barbecue for the purpose
Of procuring beeves! Others Infatuated
that the committee were better off by just
the amount contributed, which soft impeach.
ment was Indignantly denied by the commit
tee, and as Indignantly reiterated by the en-.
ragged contributors to the sinking fund.
Ordinations and recriminations were banded
back and forth, and the dispute ran high.
An Irishman IN the crowd, taking advantage
Of the confusion, pocketed . Barlow knife
belonging to the teacher, which Was lying on
the table No sooner was it missed than .
great hue and cry, entirely drowning aud ST.
lencing the others, was made by the loser.
Order was restored, the doors locked and
search made, resulting in the finding of the
missing article upon the person of the Irish
man, who stoutly resisted the search. One
Of the crew, heartily ashamed of the pro.
ceediugs, and in hopes of preventing further
appealed to them touching their |
actions, stating that the relation Of the after
Moons proceedings would be pretty story |
indeed to get out among the Republicans, and
into the columns of theat internal Abolition |
sheet, the JOURNAL. The peculating Irish.
man excused himself on the plea that /" it |
was no worse stealing than was practised by
the Black Snakes.' A big, brawny black
smith installing the latter word for smiths,
peeled and went for the Irishman, laying him
out Irishman's friend served brawny black
smith the same way; intimate acquaintance
Of the blacksmith sought and obtained an in
PRODUCTION to the friend of the Irishmsn, and
was in turn introduced to other friends, who
gave him warm reception. Soon the row
became general, and for time the fur I" flew
thick and FAST" and so did iukstands, books,
states, chairs and fists. The b. b. and party
finally drove out IrIshman and party, and
thus ended the matter.

r1oN.-Yesterday morning, about half pas,
five O'Clock, our citizens were awakened, by
the stirring notes Of fife ard drum, to the
fact that the veterans of the l lth Iowa regi-
ment had arrived. Although it was known
they were on the route home, it was not ex-
pected they would arrive for couple ofdays
yet, and therefore no preparations had been
made to receive them in betting manner.
Citizens, however, rushed to the steamboat
landing and gave the boys cordial welcome
home Nine companies disembalked at this
point, seven belonging to the 18th and two
to the 9Th regiments, As follows:

Soon after their arrival everybody, with q
few exceptions, was busy preparing for the vel
come supper which it was determined to give
them in the evening the ladies in baking,
preparing and collecting substantials and
delicacies the gentlemen, in decorating the
hall and otherwise making themselves useful
tho result Of which was . most bountiful
and sumptuous repast spread in fremont
Hall last night. Never before in the history
Of our city-so famous for its public dinners
was such an abundance of almost every
thing tempting to the palate collected togeth-
er in so short space Of time. Everybody's
heart was in the work.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
festoons Of flags. Over the stage was large
eagle, the shadow of whose out-stretched
wings fell full upon the American flag on
which the wife of the President of the Demo
cratic Club spit, in this city, on the birthday
of the immortal Washington. Around the
walls were arranged pictures. Two long
tables, running the entire length Of the hall,
each capable Of accommodating ono hundrt
guests, were loaded down with the good
things of life until not a place could be found
whereon 10 put another dish, and yet any
amount of provisions were stored in baskets,
boxes and pans for want OF room-so great
was the supply. The tables were lastly
arranged and presented a magnificent appear
ance.
Z The soldiers TO the number of two hun
dred, many having left for their homes
called in about seven o'clock, and did ample
justice to the viands. During supper excel
lent music was discoursed by Eickhoff's
string band. After the soldiers had finished
eating. their wives, mothers, sisters and
sweethearts partook Of the collation., and after
them, the citizens in general.
The welcome speech was delivered by
Henry O'Conner, Esq, followed by the sing
ing of johnny SCHNEIDER" and other songs
by the young ladies. After supper, the tables
were cleared away, and the remainder of the
evening passed away in dancing .rr
The welcome was glorious one, worthy of
the brave heroes and crsditable to the patri
otism of Muscatne county.-Daily, 23d.
