He had been sick only a few hours. IA- A di*patch from Cairo of the 11th saysCapt. Keeler had just arrested twenty thieves and garroters in that place. Two soldiers had been garrotted and robbed on the streets the night previous. FARMERS.—We learn from the State Register that the Supreme Court of this State has affirmed the constitutionality of the hog law. This has been a question of very much interest to the farming portion of our population, and we are glad for their sake* that it is now settled. Iar We regret to learn of the death of Daniel Lefever and Wm. Neyenhuis, of Co. B, Gray Beard Regiment. They were both citizens of this place. They died in hospital at St. Louis on the 10th inst.—the former of small-pox and the latter of chronic diarrhea. Their loss is deeply lamented by all who knew them. LARCIHT.—A man named Barrows, resid ing in Sweetland township, was arrested last Tuesday and brought before Esquire Nisly, charged with the larceny of a lot of books, which he had taken from Burnett's and Pal mer's book stores. He was fined ten dollars and costs, amounting to fourteen dollars, which he borrowed and paid over. HISTORICAL PICTUBB.—An ar tist of this city has executed for the citizens of Grandview, a spirited drawing of the late famors retreat of Judge Thayer from the ••Abolitionists" of that place. The scene is graphically delineated, and will prore of great local interest. The picture has been for warded to Grandview, and will doubtless be placed on exhibition. RAILROAD EXTSSSION.—The trains on the M. & M. R. R. commenced running to Mal colm, ten miles west of Brooklyn, Tuesday. From this place a six-horse omnibus runs in •connection with the trains to Grinnell. The aroad will soon be completed to the latter place, as the grading is all done, and iron suf ficient to lay tho road purchased. The com pany is displaying commendable energy in pushing forward this great work. t^-To those persons who voted for the resolution, (a resolution prohibiting the edi tor of this paper from speaking again at Grandview or in the vicinity of that place,) permit us to say that if we take a notion we will speak at Grandview again, and that we will compel those abolitionists to listen to us again.—Courier.

COUNTT FAIRS.—We notice that the direc tors of the various county fairs throughout Abe State are making vigorous efforts for the 'coming exhibitions. Many of them have al ready published premium lists, and in the majority of cases tbe premiums are liberal. What ia our Agricultural Society doing in -this matter They should be vigorously at .work in order to secure a successful fair, such a one as those formerly held in this county,only few years since. These fairs were held in higher estimation, and drew a larger number of exhibitors and strangers than the State Fair. Why not recover our former pop ularity in this respect Liberal premiums should be offered and inducements held out sufficient to attract exhibiters from other counties. The promiuens for horses and other stoek should be large. No oounty the State can get up a better fair than Musca tine, if proper exertions are made.

IsisM That we tender our sympathise to tha friends and relatives of these departed ones, trusting that they will be oonsoled with this reflection: that itls glorious to die for one's country. Mmtlmi, The friends of the Government will, no doubt, be interested to know that tho Grand Democratic," alias Copperhead "Ral ly," which was to have been held in Grand view on last Saturday, turned out to be a grand Democratic fizzle. But those who are continually crying that the liberty of the press and the freedom of speech are restricted by abolition fanatics, cannot say that such was the case here. It is true that the weight of a hair would, at several times, have turn ed the tide of an indignant audience against the speaker, but a different, if not a wiser counsel prevailed, and £. H. Thayer was al lowed to belch forth the stereotyped edition of his foul slander upon the policy of the Ad ministration, which contained, as usual, little else than denunciations without foundation, and charges without proof—not a wordr of sympathy for tbe glorious emblems of our country, torn and spit upon—not a word of censure for the traitor who is thrusting the dagger at the heart of the nation. But we do not intend to review the speech. The Judge says it is one which he is not afhamed to spread before the world, and he promised to publish it we will leave you, therefore, to make your own comments, if any arc necessary. Perhaps he is not ashamed for he is a total stranger to any such emo tions, but there sre those who are ashamed of it—those who said they had always been Democrats, but not such Democrats as he. When the speaker had finished and taken his seat, some one proposed three groans for Thayer," and such doleful ones as were given, wo had thought could only be heard from the regions of despair. Then followed three enthusiastic, soul-stirring cheers for Lincoln and the Administration. You may wonder why such sentiments were uttered at a grand copperhead rally, why their champion was groaned at, and why the Administration which he denounced in the bitterest terms, was cheered so enthusi astically. The secret is in the fact, that but a handful of Thayer's disciples had the cour age to face the music of the Union and the loyal citizens of Grandview who turned out to rebuke treason. Perhaps tbe Judge will tell his readers of another outpouring of the people, if he does, perhaps he will also tell thom of the out pouring of hen fruit which was showered about him as he made his exit from the tav ern by the back door, and his exit from town by a back street, fcc. The last that was seen of him was by a gentleman who met him going toward Muscatine at the rate of two-forty, whipping at every jump. Of course he would stop at the slough and wash tho eggs off. He no doubt left, muttering curses deep, if not loud, against the abolitionists, for we don't think his religion will bear him above profanity but he may be thankful that he escaped as well as he did, and take warning not to attempt to repeat the offence unless he has a passport to tho other world. it •will be some time before your nervous sys tem will be sufficiently restored to stand up before those abolitionists again. PETIT JURORS.—The following named gen tlemen were drawn for petit jurors for the next term of court which holds its session in June: S. McNutt, P. Houtz, Lake township Wm. Freese, E. Yours Mr, [From anothsr correspondent ED. JOURNAL:— The Copperheads, some time since, circulated hand-bills announcing that there would be a Democratic meeting in Grandview on Saturday, the 11th inst., to be addressed by E. H. Thayer and others. The time arrived, and no house could be procured, notwithstanding we have five churches in our village. They consequently took out doors for it. Thayer read off his speech in grandilo quent style, but there was not a cheer during the whole hour and a half of its delivery, nor when he was done. Mr. Williamson was called for, but the faithful" asked to be allowed to go on with their business. He was allowed, however, to ask Mr. Thayer to furnish him with a copy of his speech. This he would not consent to do, but said that he would publish it in his paper. Mr. Williamson wished him to meet him and defend his speech, but he said the speech needed no defence—it defended itself as it went along. Some one then called for "three groans for Thayer," and they were given with a will.— Immediately some one called for three cheers for the Union," and they were given in good style. About this time Thayer made his exit at the back door of the tavern (the speech was jn front of the tavern,) and hastily jumping into his buggy, and the eggs beginning to fly freely, he put to the whip, and in a few mo ments was out of sight. He took a back street, instead of coming round the main street, and thus escaped the most of the eggs. I am informed that twelve dozen were in readiness for him. It was resolved by a formal vote of the crowd that we would allow no more such speeches.

GLOBI.—The following carious facts are s ated hy the Abeille Medi- "The earth is inhabited by 1,228 million of inhabitants, viz., 369,000,000 of the Cau casian race 552,000,000 of the Mongolian race 190,000,000 of the Ethiopian 1,000, 000 of the American Indian, and 200,000,000 of the Malay races. All these respectively speak 1,064 languages, and profess 1,000 different religions. The amount of deaths per annum is 33,333,333, or 91,954 per day, 2,730 per hour, and 60 per minute, or 1 per second, 60 that at every pulsation of our heart a human being dies. This loss is compensa ted by an equal number of births. Tbe aver age duration of life throughout the globo is 33 years. One fourth of its population dies before the seventh year, and one-half before tbe seventeenth. Out of 10,000 persons orly one reaches his 100th year only one in 500 his 80th, and only ono in 100 his 65th. Married people live longer than unmarried ones a tall man is likely to live longer than a short one. Until tho 50th year women have a better chance of life than men, but be yond that period the chances are equal Sixty-five persons out of 1,000 marry the months of June and December are those in which marriages are most frequent. Children born in spring are generally Btrongcr than those born in other seasons. Births and deaths chiefly occur at ninht. The number of men able to bear arms is but one-eighth the population. The nature of the profession exercises a great influence on longivity. Thus, out of 100 of each of the following pro fessions, the number of those who attain their seventieth year is: Among clergymen, 42 agriculturalist*, 40 traders and manufactu rers, 33 soldiers, 32 clerks, 32 lawyers, 29 artists, 28 professors, 27 and physi cians, 24—so that those who study the art of prolonging the lives of others, are most likely to die early, probably on account of tbe effluvia to which they are constantly ex posed. There are in the world 835,000,000 of Christians, 5,000,000 of Jews, 600,000, 000 professing some of the Asiatic religions, 160,000,000 of Mahomedans, and 200,000,000 of Pagans. Of the Christians, 170,000,000 profess the Catholic, 76,000,000 the Greek, and 80,000,000 the Protestant creeds.

The Supreme Court decides that Fugitive Slaves be re^c^d to Loyal Owners. o 1 1 [qpaclal to Tribune.] WASHINGTON, April IVK: The case of the Anglo robel steamer Peter hoff continues to engage the Administration as well as diplomatic circlos here. It is un derstood that Lord Lyons lias requested the British mail found on board to be returned to him unopened, and that the State Depart ment is ready to accede to his wishes. Secretary Welles is of tho opinion that whatever abstract right and wrong of the question may be the District Court which has the case before it for adjudication alone can decide, the statute being peremptory that all papers and writing found on board a captur ed vessel, shall be transmitted unopened to the court before which such vessel is proceed ed against. Judge Betts last week invited Mr. Archi bald, British Consul, to be present while the mail was being opened, but he did not ap pear. The Judge would then have proceeded to open the mail, as we are informed, but for the reception of telegramr from Washington. The presence of a force of rebels at Rector town, Middleburg, and through that region, is known here. The rumor started here that there had been skirmishing at Fairfax Court House is not true. NEW YORK, April Jeff. Davis has issued an address to the people of the Southern Confederacy urging them to devote their agricultural labors to the production of food. lie says, though the soldiers are on haif rations of meat, there Is plenty of it in the Confederacy, but that a difficulty exists in its transportation, which Is now about to be remidie.d. The address contains the following paragraph To oppose invading forces composed of levies which have already exceeded 1,300,000, we had no resources but the unconquerable valor of a people determined to be free, and so destitute of military supplies that tens of tuousands of our citizens were reluctantly re fused admission into the service from inabil ity to furnish arms, while for many months the continuation of our strongholds owed their safety ch'efly to a careful concealment of the fact that we were entirely out of a supply of powder for our cannon. Your devotion and patriotism have tri umphed over all these obstacles, and called into existence munitions of war, clothing and sustenance, which have enabled our soldiers to illustrate their valor on numerous battle fields, and to inflict crushing defeats in suc cessive armies, each of which our arrogant foe fondly imagined to be invincible. The contrast between our past and present con dition is well calculated to inspire full confi dence in the triumph of our armies. At no previous period of the war have our forces been so numerous, so well organized and thoroughly disciplined, armed and equipped, as at the present season. High waters, on which our enemies relied to enable their fleets of gunboats to penetrate into our country and devastate our homes, is fast passing away, yet our stronghold on the Mississippi still bids defiance to the foe, and months of costly preparations for their de struction have been spent in vain. Disaster has been the result of their every effort to storm Vicksburg and Port Hudson, as well as every attack on our batteries on Red river, Tallehatchie and other navigable streams. Within a few weeks tho falling waters and increasing heat of summer will complete their discomfiture and compel their baffled and de ferted forces to the abandonment of the expe dition on which was based their chief hope of success in effecting our subjugation. We must not forget, however, that the war is not yet ended, and that we are still con fronted by powerful enemies and thaeatened by numerous fleets, and that the Government that controls these fleets and armies, is driven to the most desperate efforts in the unholy purpose in which it has ehus far been defeat ed. It will use its utmost energy to avert this impending doom so fully merited by the atrocities it has commit ed. The savage bar barities which it has encouraged, and the crowning attempt to excite a servile popula tion to massacre our wives, daughters and helpless children. With such a contest be fore us there is but one danger which the Government of your choice regards with ap prehension, and to to avert this danger it ap peals to the never failing patriotism which you have exhibited since the beginning of the the ^rv i- Ppecial to the Chicago Times. The Mexican minister has not received one word as regards the reported French success in Mexico. The Supreme Caurt has issued orders to day for the return of fugitive slaves to loyal owners. It is reported, from the fact that the Con federates are hurrying up reinforcements to the Rappahannock, and from the tone of the Richmond papers, that they are fully impress ed with the belief that they are to have heavy work on hand very shortly, somewhere between here and Richmond. The city has been filled with rumors of a raid up the Shenandoah, and of fighting on the Rappahannock, and other sensations, but there is nothing in them. VS. Port Hudson is a small village on the eastern bank of the Mississippi, about fifty miles below the mouth of Red River. The Bluffs rise full 60 feet above the high water ltvel of the river, and command either ap proach to the narrowest part of the stream from Vicksburg to New Orleans. These bluffs are fortified, having a 120-pounder, 68 pounder, and other siege guns in battery, while the plateau at the base, either approach to these heights, have heavy batteries with aeige guns of similar calibre. The river is here so narrow that the sinking of an ordina ry vessel, such as usually navigate the Wes tern waters, would effectually block the channel. py A lady asked a minister if she night pay attention to dress and fashion without being proud.
