Rats on the Tramp-Great Slaughter.


From the Dayton Journal, Sept. ISL
The rats are swarming the country
west and northwest Of this. They seem
to be migrating southwark, and the
weather seers predict that there will be
very severe winter In many places the
rats have destroyed the corn, sweet po-
tatoes aud tomatoes; and they have got
into the orchards, and climbing the trees
they have destroyed much fruit. The
great rat army reached New Castine,
Drake county, the other day, and forth
with their scouts took possession of ey-
eryihing eatable. A man in the place,
whose stable floor had given out, deter
mined to have it replaced with a new
one. On examining into the matter, it
was ascertained that the space under the
floor was literally packed full of rats
The owner Immediately circulated the
word, and all the idle men and dogs in
the village were collected together, and
the place was surrounded The work
men then proceeded to remove the floor,
when the men and dogs pitched in and
began the work of slaughter. And they
did not cease until they had slain fifteen
hundred and FIVE rats And the space
in which these vermin were gathered was
only 2Ox24 feet, and one foot and half
deep. The statement is made to us by
truthful men who witnessed the slaugh-
ter, and it may be taken for the truth,
extravagant as it may sound.

paid is to be impressed on the tag
whenever the tax is paid on cotton pre-
viously weighed, marked, and tagged ;
but until the new tag is furnished, they
may continue to use the old 'tax.paid
tag, if they have any on hand.
Assessors are specially requested to
send to the Commissioner, without delay,
estimates of the probable number of tags
that will be required in their respective
dirtricts, SO that the necessary arrange
ments may be made for their supply.

A Natural Curiosity.

An old man about fifty-fve years OF
age, whose name we were unable TO
learn, was brought to the First District
station Yesterday, while on his way to
the Charity Hospital. He is quite Gu.
riosity in bis way Old as he is, he had
lust made trip down the river of eigh-
teen hundred miles in small skItf alone
and unattended He resided somewhere
in Kansas He had small covering
erected over his small craft, just suifi-
cient to afford him protection from the
weather Friday night, while lying at the
landing, the old fogy being warm IN his
calaboose, got out and laid on top OF the
structure erected top of his little craft.
Here the old fellow felt much more com
Portable, and inhaling the fresh air be
became invigorated, and with his in
creasing strength restlessness followed,
and turning and twisting he tumbled with
a splash into the water An officer came
to his aid---he was rescued, and feeling
that he was about having chill, the
Charity Hospital was suggested. He con-
sented to the proposition, but before the
old fellow would turn his water craft
over to the police authorities, or 60 to
the Charity Hospital, he demanded
full receipt for all of his worldly stores.
This was granted. The skif' contained
ordinary cooking utensils, rifle, shot
gun and pistol, and also little dorg,
a special favorite, who was found lnno-
Gently curled up at the bottom OF the
boat, quietly and patiently awaiting the
return of his master What disposition
was made of the animule we did not
learn. The boat was landedin the Fourth
District. Lieut. Sheehan gave the old
man receipt and took charge of his
worldly stores, A friend of ours, and a
well known citizen, in his admiration of
this old traveller, proposed to buy his
stock in trade and send the skiff to the
Worlds Fair to be held in Paris.-N q.

in mind that the requirements of the hui

Andy Felt.
This caption will be understood through
out the State of Iowa and most particular
ly in the northern part of it. In answer
to letter inviting him to be present at the
late National Union Convention at West
Union he writes an interesting letter APP
proving of the object but business prevent
cd his attendance. We extract:
BRADFORD, Sept. 1st
No event since the close of the war has
afforded me so much genuine pleasure as
the action of the National Union Conven-
ton at Philadelphia. That convention de-
cidcd the fate of the country.
x X
To me, particularly, its able, fearless,
and. patriotic enunciation of principles,
seems the embodiment of orthodox politi-
cal christianity for every loyal American
citizen.
1t takes an essentially republican posi-
ton, and is so purely democratic in it's
views that no reasonable lover Of the Union
can assail it.
Having shouldered my musket at the
first call to arms to preserve the Union,
passing through the campaigns of 81 and
'62, in forcible advocacy of that doc
trine, l came home in '63, and to the cx-
tent of my feeble ability on the stump and
through the press, endeavored to sustain
the gallant boys in blue in their noble eff
forts to conquer 0n armed rebellion and
PRESERVE THE UNION
\ X X
The President of the United States has
endeavored to obey the letter and spirit of
the Constitution; has acted in strict ac-
cordance with the principles of the plat
form upon which he was elected; has car
ried out the policy of his lamented prede-
cessor, and the admirable, united actions
of earnest men from all the States in the
Philadelphia Convention proves beyond
cavil that the actions of the army and ma
Wy, and of the Executive and his Cabinet
commands the approval of the genuine
UNION sentiment of the country.
In viewing my political life since 1860,
l am driven irresistibly to the conclusion
that should be false to every feeling of
manhood if base enough to join the clam
orous politicians who now seek perma-
nent dismemberment Of this Union; and
by the advocacy of extreme and impracti-
cable measures, seek to plunge the country
into another fratricidal strife, more gigan-
tic in its proportions, far more terrible in
its details and thousand fold more disas-
trous in its results than the bloody inter
fnecine struggle SO lately closed.
4 X
Partizan feeling may be in tho ascendant
in Iowa to-day, but the hour hasteneth,
when the people will put their seal of con-
demnation on those politicians who have
so suddenly found themselves bankrupt in
political capital, now that the war is closed
and that there are no more rebels to dread,
no more Generals to blame, no more polit-
ical battles ON paper. no more fat Offices
to secure by shouting "copperheads," no
more speculations in shoddy clothing and
rebel cottons, no more Governor Stones to
be whitewashcd, no more stealings from
the swamp-land and contingent funds, in
short no more 'sBread and Butter" for the
Withrow's and Palmer's to "run the ma
! chine WITH" so, see no reason why the
Union men of Iowa may not go on to vic
tory.
Accept my thanks for an invitation to
