The WAR SHow.-LaRue's War Show
drew another crowded house at Young Mems
Hall last night. The novel and wonderful
moving figures, the splendid painting repre-
senting beautiful scenery and famous places
together wit the representations of battles and
naval engagements, were witnessed with
great interest by all. and drew out frequent
and enthusiastic applause. The exhibition
is calculated TO interest and amuse all clas-
SEES of people, and gives one a new idea of the
wonders achieved by mechanical genius
There is enough of the comIcal to relieve the
whole of monOtony. La Rue is certainly a
genius. his power of impersonation is remark
able His representations of the various
characters to be met with in the world owe
their chief charm to their truthfulness TO ma
ture. His oddities created immense merri-
ment. The exhibition will be repeated this
evening, and will close to morrow evening =
Detroit Free Press.
Will exhibit at Babcock's Hall next Tues
day and w Wednesday evenings.

The shoddy organ attempts a reply to the
Statement: made to as by Messrs. Herndon
and Foster, and published on Monday, in re-
lation to Cooper. 1t is about the weakest
defense which could be made. 1t does not
deny that Herndon did horse whip Cooper,
as statsd, -while the frst and last part of
the article is devoted to abuse of the ARGUS,
which is the general defense set up by the
supreme court of Rock Island" in all cases
where no sensible reason can be found -
"fhs ARGUS is disloyal," cay they. and there
fore Cooper is q nice man and Herndon and
Foster are the opposite of that. That's the
usual argument. But the opinion of the
Union, or of the supreme court of Rock
Island" as to the loyalty Of the ARGUs he of
very little consequence. We care nothing Ct
all about it. The files of the ARGUS will
show that We have not advocated she rebel

The other points made by the Union are,
that Cooper was a union man. This state
ment is not believed, and the whole story
about his wooden factory, &c.. &C., is denied
from beginning to end, by those who pretend
to know bis history. Cooper was q rebel,
like all the rest of 'em and he has himself
said that be got up the plot, in regard to
Herndon, Cowan and Young, on purpose to
get released himself,-thus admitting that
he deliberately intended to rob the men of
their money and betray them 1t was the
duty of the officers to use Cooper a. tool,
if..they could there is no fault TO find with
them on that subject. But the neanness
consists in being the tool, deliberately rob-
bling his fellow prisoners, and then boasting
that he did it in order to get released himself.
But, whatever people may think about that
matter, there can be no difference of opinion
among honorable men in regard to Cooper's
conduct in going, at the dead hour of night,
to one of the best and most respected and
law abiding families in Davenport, and, with
lying on his lips, endesvor to entrap them
into saying or doing something by which
they could be arrested; and, failing in that,
then going back to his masters aud deiiber-
ately slandering the mem bers of that family.
This he did, or the British Pup who edits
the Gazette, lies. So low and despicable en-
act as that deserves the generations of all
good men. The trsachery to his fellow pris-
orers is bad enough-but the other matter is
30 much worse that that affair seems of little
consequence.
People should also bear in mind that
Herndon did not horse whip him until he
had refused to return the money he robbed
him of. He gave him fair chance.to return
the money, but failing to do that he. with no
aid or assistance, punished him for it and
left him.
That is all there is of the case.

Here we tolerate both distilleries and drunken

EDWARD RUSSELL, the British Pup, editor
of the Davenport Gazette, post master, &c,
&C.. in his paper of this morning, 1.-THE 29th)
says: Cooper was last evening in Rock
Island with whip in one hand and revolver
in the other inquiring for the editor of the
Argus"
Well, what of it We fail to see the point.
Cooper was informed that we were in Young
America, only few rods from where he was
standing, and he could find US by going there.
He declined TO 20, saying he was afraid there
were too many "sympathizers" there. Brave
Mr.. Cooper! EE8& .A4lAzs-.
Not long after this we heard that Cooper
was in front of the Supreme Court, on the
sidewalk, enquiring for US. We went out to
the place and not a man was to be seen in
the place where the supreme court stands.-
We enquired for Cooper, and was informed
that he had left for Moline. In the elegant
language of the British Pup -"Ha, be :! who
