The War News.

Up TO he Oath inst, on which Gay we
left St Louis, the news Of the great battle
fought near Saltillo between Santa Anna
with 25,coo, and Gen. Taylor with 5000
men, had not yet been confirmed. A great
diversity Of opinion exists as 10 the re-
suit, and some even 60 SO lar as to doub:
the fact Of the battle ha, ing been fought.
The more general impression is, that bat
tie was fought, as stated, but that the ac-
count of The killed on both sides is very
much exaggerated. Taylor is in a very
critical position; but we trust that next
accounts from the seat OF war will be
more favorable. AS yet, all is uncer-
tainty ana suspense.

sProposais for "a New Icnaserics

The editor of the Hawkeye says that no man
in Iowa. him self excepted, has beeu so much
abused as Gen MctS~ty. No one who has seen
their haggard and VOL eeG1e countensnces can,
for moment doubt, that at least their mental
suferings have been extreme and eXcruciati.'g.
II, however, pecuniary compensation can in
any way remunerate them, we would suggest that
these two beauties be taken around, (muzzled. of
course,) for q show--three fourths of the nett
proceeds of the exhibition TO be given to them for
the aforementioned object. and the remainder to
be appropriated to the support of the mission
among the Ourangoutangs.
The interest of the exhibition would doubt
less, be vastly heightened if the services OF the
red-lanne man and the white flannel man could
be procured--thc first to act for the menagere
Sas he did during the sitting Of thcLegislat,Ie for

the audience occasional 'IDEEs' and sEMBoLICAI'
illustrations Of his unique and admirable style of
address TO the Chair, showing them how easily
he could catch the nod or shake of the sG1NER-

OF rehearsal, during such an exhibition.

~ Our attention has just been called
to card in the Bloomington Herald of the

paper, by STEPHEN WurcHER, Esq, in
which that gentleman roundly asserts that
the speech of Mr.. Lefingwel, on the bill
to provide Ter paying the claims growing
cut Of the Missouri war, as published in
the Reporter of the 10Th inst, was never
delivdred in the House of Representa-

speech would hurtlhe lobby lawyer some;

attention has been called to the subject, az
it presents an occasion for showing up the
mannuyres OF some of the "indiuidua!s

they deserve. In the mean time, Mr..
Whicher m:y rest assured that the speech
alluded to was written out by Mr.. Letting

US by his own hand. If he really doubts
the truth Of this statement, perhaps sight
Of the manuscript may convince him Of

I'VE published few days since, an ac-
count from the Iowa Capital Reporter, of
the proceedings Of Democratic cancus Of
the members Of the Iowa legislature, at
which General V. P. VAN ANTWERP was
nominated as one Of the first Senator'S in
Congress from this young western State.
The same treachery to the democratic par
ty which defeated the wishes Of the true
republicans Of New York, is at work in
Iowa, and is likely to be attended with the
same success. Two or three ''pessumsn
in the State legislature control the Senate
rial election, and it is highly improbable
that over such influences stern and in.
flexible democrat like Gen. v. A, will be
able TO Triumphant we cannot withhold
the expression of our qualification at finding
the talent and integrity of a native of our
country, thus justly appreciated by our
Western sister. Gen. V. A. was born in
Albany county, and is the only son Of Pc
TER VAN AsrwEsr, Esq. OF Coeymans.
Ofthe ever reliable democracy Of that
town, The father, universally beloved and
respected, may well be termed the Wheel
horse. In 1915, he was candidate for
the Assembly, and the unprecedented and
gratifying majority OF $50 votes in Coey-
mans testified to the estimation in which
he is held by those who knew him bes,
