Refusal Extraordinary.

The Chicago Republican Company yester
day sent their business notice, announcing
that the Chicago Republican would be issued
on the Both of May and that the Hon. Charles
A. Dana would be it's editor in chief, to have
it appear in the Tribune as an advertisement,
and rendered payment for the same. A con-
sultation of the editors of The Tribune was
Immediately held the result of which was
that they refused to publish the notice as an
advertisement or in any other shape.
The Chicago Republican Company, howev-
er, do not fear their ability to obtain the at
tention of the reading public. even if denied
the partial opportunity of doing so through
the columns of the Tribune. Indeed they do
not fear that they will not have ample and
frequent opportunities hereafter to be adver.
tised in the columns of that paper; they are
defeated, however, in their imm ediate object
which was to have their advertisement pub
lished in that paper while it had respecta

shall have been reduced and curtailed by the
patronage already given in advance to the
Chicago Post.

Rev. -, Confederate Army:
DEAR SIR-YOur letter of Sept. 18th is re-

title to "horse" with Difference for the laws
of war. That mysterious code of which we
talk so much, but know little, is remarks-
bly, silent on the "horse." lie is beast so
tempting to the soldier, to him of the wild
cavalry, she fancy artillery, or the patient in
fantry, that find more difficulty in recover
ing worthless, spawned beast than in pay
million of 'greenbacks - SO that / fear
that / must reduce your claim to one of f.

claims in Washington. that may reach your
case by the time your grandchild becomes q
great-grandfatber.
Privately, think it was q shabby thing in
the scamp of the 3lst Missouri. who took your
horse and the colonel or his brigadier should
have restored him. when this cruel war is

of one of Uncle Sans corrals, "a beast that will
replace the one taken from you so wrongful
ly; but now it is impossible. We have a big
journey before us, and need all we have. and,
fear, more too; 30 look out when the Yanks
are about and hide your beasts, for my expe
rience is that all soldiers are very careless in

STORY OF WISCONSIN SUPREME JUDGE
The Appleton Crescent tells the following
good story on Judge Downer:
Speaking of Judge Downer, who is, by
the way, an unassuming but devoted chris
tian of the congregational denomination, and
an excellent man, reminds me of an anecdote
of him never before in print. The judge, as
many of your readers are aware, is wholly
devoted To the profession of the law, and prior
to his elevation to the supreme bench, estab-
lished lasting reputation for his in1exible
integrity and unwearied industry. At the
same time he neglects no religious duty, and
takes much interest in Sunday schools, bible
classes, &c. Upon one occasion he stepped
into Sunday School just prior TO the close
of the exercises, and was soon called upon to
close with prayer. He responded to the
call, concluding as follows:
''Grant these our petitions, we pray Thee,
o Lord, acith the usual costs !"
Need you longer wonder that nearly all

admirers

manner, any qualification at the death Of Mr..
Lincoln, or any dissatisfaction with "repub-
loan institutions" The whole story is
base falsehood and was conoocted to injure
Mr.. Bulley.
The supreme court of Rock Island having
failed to raise mob, las it tried to do, at the
court house, on Saturday evening, at the
meeting to make arrangements for the Lin
coin funera) felt that must do something
or it would be laughed at. The most feasl-
BILE plan was to attack Mr.. Bulley. He was
a native of England and they could rsise a
prejudice against him on that account. He
was very small, weak old man, and would
not be likely to thrssh any of them. He was
timid and they thong heycould easilyuse him
to suit their purposes. These were their reasons
for attacking Mr.. Bulley. They made a most
miserable failure, and now seek to injure Mr.
Bulley's business. We put their manifesto
on record for future reference, and for the
benefit of most exempt airy citizen they are
seeking to injure.
| The attack of the supreme court, and it,
| organ, upon Mr.. Bulley, is almost equal Il
its attack upon women. By the way-didn'
the supreme court cut rather sorry fgur
in that case 1t made itself about as ridicul
Gus as JEFF. Davis in petticoats.
N. B. Mr.. Bulley imports his crockerJ
direct from Liverpool and beats all the crook
cry dealers in town ON nice and fashionabl
goods and low prices. His store is on tn
corner of Buffalo and Rock River streets, op
posite The Farmers Tavern-or Jim Bel
lows Side Show.

considerable patronage from Union men hereto

Biography of Gen. Fry.

The New York Mercury gives sketch of
the life and services of Mr.. Provost Marshal
General Fry. He is native of Illinois,
thirty eight years of age. As school boy
he was distinguished for stupidity in mathe
mates. By and by he went to West Point,
where he graduated No. IA of his class. He
had hard work to satisfy his father that that
was better number than No. 1. The war
found him on McDowelPs staff, at Bull Run,
where NO mathematical talent being necessa-
ry, he did. good service and ran well.
Next, he was with Gen. Mcclellan, who,
| being a mathematician, couldn't get along
with him, and sent him to Gen. Buel. He
was at the battle of Shiloh. In the heat of
| fight. an officer rode up to him and said -
Gen. Buel wants you to inform him how
| many men there are in the two brigade yon-
der" .- ..--
Fry knew how many men there were in
each, but was utterly unable to tell how many
| there were in both. At length. after many
| repeated efforts, he gave a yell of mingled
shame. despair, and defiance, and dashed
straight at the enemy, to vent his range upon
them. His men followed him to save him
the enemy, seeing Fry coming, turned tail,
and the victory was won.
For this achievement he was promoted &c
his present position. Lincoln appointed him
as sort of practical joke.
