VOLUME 10. DAVENPORT, IOWA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1864.
CoaaacTiox.—In noticing Smith's supe
rior hair jewelry for Christaus present*
yesterday we gar* hii residence and place
of business wrong. His place is Ko. 90
East 8d street and not 2d street, as stated.
Give him a call and get something neat and
nice for a Christinas present
Pork.—This commodity goes up among
the ''pictures'1 this winter. We beard of
its bringing $18 per hundred in thia market
yesterday, and farmers are expecting to sea
It go cs—idsrafcly higher. They may and
they may not "see it." At all events porh
will be pork next year, and farmera wh*
have it to sell will know what it is to coin
MoDsaATiRG.—The weather is getting over
its coolness and coming down to a more even
grade. During ita snappishneas, thermom
eter went down 14 10 degrees below xcro,—
quite far enough in that direction to suit
the "most fastidious." ibe river is now
crossed with perfect safety by footmen, and
we look for a good roadway to be put across
in a few days.
Secosd IIeoivrxt Election.—As per in
structions from Adjutant General Baker,
the .Second Militia Regiment of Davenport
Township was organised at the Court
House to J&y, by the election of field offi
cers.
The meeting was called to order by Capt.
Thorington, and Capt. C. W. Smith was
called to preside, and Lieut. Bennett was
chosen Secretary. The polls were ordered
to be kept open until two o'clock P. M., and
J. Aekley and W. Fleming were appointed
tellers.
The rames of James Thorington of the
office of Colonel, Henry Lischcr for the of
fice of Lieut. Colonel, and C. W.
Kmith
for
the oflicc of Major, were brought before the
meeting without opposition, and were unan
imously elected. The regiment is well or
ganised. and when called into Um field* auU
dndoubtedly distinguish itself.
Chanced IIaxus.—TheState Penltcnttary
works at Fort Madison have changed hands.
Tlie firm of Winlerbothatn &. Jones, the old
contractors, have sold out their interest to
Messrs. llale, Davis Co., who now assume
the responsibility of managing that concern.
The new firm consists of T. llalo, Esq., of
Fort Madison Cnpt. B. W. Divi*, the okL
and highly popular steamboat captain, whom
everybody on the I'pper Mississippi knows
and esteems and J. R. Winterbotham,
Ksq., son of the head of the former firm.
They are all very active, competent and en
ergetic men, and will undoubtedly drive bu
siness ut that place.
The principal business carried on at the
Penitentiary works is tin manufacture of
all kinds of farming implements, which has
giown into an extensive trade there. Tin-

a ready market for all the goods it manu
failures. Their trade extends all through
Iowr, Missouri, Illinois, Knni-as and Ne
braska. The goods manufactured are of a
superior quality and much sought for by
dealers who take pains to provide their cus
tomers with i genuine article.
Wast to Know.—One would think from
the pile of letters of inquiry, that Adjt. Gen.
Baker is constantly receiving from the peo
ple of Illinois and Indiana, in reference to
the railroad disaster on the Lafayette and
Indiana Railroad, and upon other matters,
thit most surely those States had no Ad
jutant General, and no rne to look after the
interests of the soldiers killed and/vounded
by that disaster. Gen. Baker, being of an
accommodating turn of mind, devotes what
time he can to the inquiries of these per
sons. Not only soldiers, but civilians who
were injured there, and belong to other
States, address him for aid, and we believe
that even the Adjutant General of Indiana,
applies to Gen. Baker for information on
pointb^onnected with this case.
Further thm this, the people of Illinois
residing near hue. apply to Gen. Baker fur
artns for Militia purposes, and we believe
that in one instanco at least- over in Mo
line—Gen. Baker has responded to the wish
es of the people.
This is what comes of hating a live Adju
tant General—one who is on the alert, look
ing after the interests of the soldiers, rath
er than setting down comfortably and let
ting the machine run itself.
New Enolakd Festival.—We commend
ttie managers who are getting up the New
England Festival this year for the course
which they have adopted. Having in full
view the fact that there are those among the
New Englanders who do nof feel able to in
cur a heavy expense in attending this festi
val, bat who would much enjoy the re-union
were it moderately arranged, it baa beende
cided to have the supper furnished by fam
ily contributions, and that the usual extras
bt dispensed with just as much as nossible,
and the admission fee to meet these contin
gencies be put at only fifty cents.. There
are numerous New England families in this
city who will take pleasure in furnishing
the tablea with all that will be needed, and
in a atyle too, that will far aurpaaa in gen*
nine New Bngland stylo anything that any
hotel or restaurant can produce.
Committees of ladies and gentlemen will
vrait upon the New England families in
town and get a list of thr provisions they
furnish, and so arrange the bill of fare
ot too much of any one kind will be

OX Trial.—Henry liaupt, charged by the
United States by coniiiv:ng at the conccil
tnent of one Glass, a substitute and a de
serter, was put upon his trial to day fore
Justice Blood. The Counsel were—for th4-'
Government, U. S. Dist. Attorney, (Jurlty
for Defendant, Ernst C^'issen. An earnest
effort was made by the Defendant's counsel
to establish in the mind of tho Court, Mr.
ilaupt's insanity, and to this end the testi
mony of many witnesses was introduced,
some of whom were of the opinion that the
Defendant was deranged in his mental ca
pacity, while others seemed to incline to the
belief that habitual intemperance was h'.s
principal failing. We presutni that no one
acquainted wi(h the Defendant would be
willing to affirm that they consider him a
man of knavish propens ties. It is true his
unfortunate hal.it of imbibing too l'recly of
the ardent, often places him a vtry ridio
ui us position, and no doubt many honestly
think that through that means his mind has
become unsound. Sui cly he is not the man
who would be singled out as one who, in
his right mind would jro to work to ucfraud
the Go/eminent out of a substitute.

We are more corporal^han wo was. By a
little strategy—a game so often played
among us military officers, we got our Cap
tain hoi«ted out of the company. The ob-
was to stc„re promotion
for the other
officers, though he didn't knvw what the
game was at the time. Wc made the point,
and now wc are promoted- we have got
one round less to reach in the iauder of
Fame. We have been trying to cyphir
oat, nearly all day, how long it wiil be be*
fore we can get enough senior officers pro
moted so that we can rank up to the noble
position of an Orderly Sergeant, but we
can't uo it. We have auo beea examining
the mortality tables of s defunct Life Insti
rai.ee Company, on the mutual plan, to as
certain how often men ranking from 2d
Corporal (we arc 3d now) up to Orderly
Sergeant, die. We find that they uiusUx
out" about once in stven and half years, of
any given disease in any given company.
Ours is a fciven i.. r.^uiy, an ul th
