Battle of SOlferinO.

The foreign journals contain a
lengthy official report of the battle OF
Solferino, made on the part of the
Allies. We copy that portion which
relatas to the losses
Those of the Sandman army were
unfortunately very considerable, and
do not amount to less than 40 officers
killed and l67 wounded. 642 sub-otti-
GERS and privates killed. 3,4O9 wound
ed. and ,25S soldiers missing, making
total of $685. absent at roll call.
Five pieces Of cannon remained In the
hands of the Kings armies as trophies
of this sanguinary victory which it
had gained over an army superior in
number, aud who appeared to have
been not less than twelve brigades.
The loss of the French army amount
ed to 10000 rank and file, killed or
wounded, and 72O officers hors de com
bat, of whom $50 were killed. Among
the wounded are Generals De Ladmi-
rault, Forey, Anger, Dieu, and Douay.
Seven Colonies and six Lieutenant
Colonies have been killed.
As to the losses of the Austrian ar
nv, they cannot yet be calculated,
but they must have been very con-
siderable from the number of killed
and wounded left on the field OF battle,
which extended not less than twelve
miles in length. They left in our
hands thirty pieces of cannon, great
number of ammunition wagons, four
colors, and 5000 prisoners.
Tie resistance which the enemy OPP
posed to the allied troops for sixteen
hours may be explained by the supe-
riority in numbers which they pos
sessed and the almost impregnable po'
sitions which they occupied.
For the first time, also, the Austrian
troops fought under the eye of their
sovereign, and the presence OF the
two Emperors and Of the King OF
Piedmont, in rendering the struggle
more desperate, made it also more de
cisve.
The Emperor Napoleon never for {
moment ceased to direct the opera
tons, visiting every point where his
troops had to make the greatest effort:
and to triumph over the most serlon'
difficulties. At different times the
projecties of the enemy fell into The
ranks of the staff and OF the cscor
who attended his Majesty.
At nine o'clock in the evening th'
noise of the cannon which precipita
ted the retreat of the enemy was still
heard in the distance, and the Frencl
troops lighted their bivonac fire.

had so gloriously conquered.

Nicholas J. RuSch.

The nomination of Mr.. Rusch, by
the Republicans, for Lieut.. Governor,
has produced great CONSERVATION in
the Democratic ranks all over the
State. The "unterrifed," taking their
cue from the Administration, appear
to have perfect horror of foreigners,
especially Germans. Many Of tue
Democratic journals represent Mr..
Rusch as utterly incompetent to dis
charge the duties of Lieut.. Governor,
Notwithstanding he has been twice
elected as State Senator, and has
served in the Senate Of Iowa with
great credit to himself, and most &C
to his constituents. In view
of the gross ISLANDERS heapcd upon
Mr.. Rusch by his opponents, it is
mete that we publish the opinion Of
him expressed shortly before his nomi-
nation by the Davenport News, a Blu
chanan organ, whose editor is person
ally acquainted with Mr.. Rusch. The
News said:
"But if by any chance we are to
have Republican Lieut.. Governor,
why, we say, let it be Mr.. Rusch. He
is very clever mana German born,
but thoroughly American in feeling
and as we'll qualified as any Republic
can we know of to fill the Office. Mr..
Rusch is intelligent and well informed,
and vastly popular with his country.
men. The onl y fault we have to find
with him is his politics. We regret
to see so sensible man holding such
detestable principles, and in such bad
company. But if we are to have a
member of that Heterogeneous mass,
the Republican party, for our second
in authority in the State, why let us
have Rusch. Ruscl is young man
yet, ambitious, and with fine field
before him. If Iowa remains Re-
publican State, and Rusch's country
men continue to exercise SO important
an influence over the destinies of the
Republican party here, he will have,
with his fine natural abilities, glo
rious future before him. He will un
doubtedIy go eventually to the arena
of the United States Senate to display
them"

NaturaliZed Citizens.

Are naturalized citizens fugitive po-
litical slaves? The Administration
and its apologists say they are. This,
indeed, is the ground on which the
Administration rests its preposterous
and perfidious doctrine. The Wash
ington States, one of the three central
organs Of the Democracy, expresses it
thus
In Prussia every male child is born
soldier. The King has claim upon
him for a certain number Of years OF
military duty, which is just AS valid
as the claim Of Virginian to slave
child for life is valid by the Coustitu-
ton OF the Union.
If male child quits his realm, at
whatever age without having dis
charged such duty, he is ever liable
for its performance, either personally
or by a substitute, upon re-entering
the realm.
No obligations which he can take
upon himself to another country cal
extend to him, can impair this claim
because it is OF anterior existence.
For instance if male slave Of Nir
ginia--one Of Mr.. Bolts, for instance
were to escape from his owner, pro
coed to Prussia, there become a sub
ject OF the Crown, and subsequently
returned to Virginia, it is not likely
that he would be restored to Prussia
upon the demand that he is Prussial
subject.
The notion is too absurd to be enter
tanned by rational being. Old Vir
ginia would surrender her existence
before she would surrender him. The
cases are identical.

Attention is called to the Ferry No
tice, Of Mr.. LAWYER at Prairie du CHEN.
1t appears that the Milwaukee & Mis-
sissippi Railroad Company are doing
all in their power to accommodate the
farmers and merchants Of Northern
Iowa in the transportation Of grain and
merchandise. The liberality and ener-
getic despatch of business of the Mil
waukee & Mississippi Railway CON-
pany are deserving Of great praise
and should be literally rewarded by
the people of this section of Iowa.
Mr.. Lawler, the agent Of the Railway
Company and Of the Ferry, at Prairie
du Chen, is a gentleman in every
sense of the word, and will do all in
his power to aid the farmers, mer-
chants, &C., in the transaction of their
business. Merchandise from Boston
and New York is received earlier and
much cheaper by the Milwaukee and
Mississippi route than by any other.
Consign your freights to the care OF
the railroad agent at Prairie du Chen,
and all will be right.

Gen. Augustus Caesar Dodge.

Dodge's friends are lodging, bnt he
is not going to be permitted to dodge
plain question which The peopfe are
interested in knowing. His organs
may talk much as they please about
,hc remarkable virtues, abilities and
patriotism of this old oflice-holdcr for
the last twenty years, but the people
of Iowa want to know something
about his political principles. He has
been absent from the country several
wears. and even his best friends at
home don't know how he stands. He
is now a candidate for the Governor,
ship of Iowa, and it is nccesSarg to
know. and it must be known whether
or not he favors all the inlamles OF the
present Administration, or whether he
repudiatcs the Administration as does
the platform upon which he has been
placed. A leading Democrat, Mi.
Gilaspie, declared in the Convention
which nominated him, that he, Gillas-
pic, would vouch for Dodge being
right on the goose question" This
induced a virulent Douglas man, who
had raised the question i'll behalf OF
himself and friends, to second and vote
for the nomination. Mr.. Dodge is an
Administration man, or his posi-
ton has been greatly misrepre-
scented 10y many of his political friends.
If so, he cannot stand on that platform.
Now the question is-will Gen. Dodge
run for Governor on the Democratic
platform adopted by the Convention
which nominated him? The answer
interests Democrats, not Republicans.
If he is an Administration man, the
Democracy would like to know it.
The Administrator was rcpudiatcd by
them in State Convention, and it is
scarcely probable the Democracy will
support the man whose masters they
have thus condemned and disowned.
If he supports the platform of the
Iowa Democracy, how can any admin
istration man advocate his election
By his love of government pap, by his
hopes of government official position,
by his devotion to his masters and his
worship of the almighty nigger-how
can he do it!
Now if Dodge won't answer fci
himself, we shall demand an answer
of Gillaspie. He vouched for Dodge
as being "all right on the goose ques
ton that was Mr.. Gillaspie's Ian
guage, and nobody is better qualified
than Gillespie to decide upon what {
goose question is. What did he mean
What question in which Democratic
geese are interested, is Dodge " al
right" upon 4? We shall insist upon
an answer. The position of Dodge
must be known. He must speak o
his friends must speak for him. VIVA

and vender Of that woIid-renowned medicine,
DIR. Mann's Ague Balsam, is still in the field
laborng for the good Of the suffering. 1t is
now settled fact, beyond doubt, that this
remedy is very far exceeding anything of the
kind ever before introduced and we may well
Judge why it is so. Because the inventor has
spared no expense nor pains in thoroughly
bringing into general notice his Balsam, by
means of the Press and the great efficacy of
the medicine. Hence the result is that it
now stands at the head of the list of all anti

How Does Dodge Stand :?

The Dubuque Herald, in long puff
of Gen. Dodge, neglects to say one
word as to where it's candidate for
Governor stands on the political is
sues of the day. 1t does not dare
venture upon the expression of sim
Gle opinion as to whether Dodge will
stand on the Iowa Democratic Plat
form. The nearest approach to the
utterance of an opinion on the subject
of Dodge's opinions is as follows:
"He made a speech on the Kansas.
Nebraska bill, in which he placed him
self Oh the record in favor of that
great measure, and from that position
he has never receded. The argument
which he then made in favor Of Popu.
lar Sovereignty, and against the in
tervention of Congress in the local or
domestic affairs Of the people OF the
Territories, he still adheres to, believ-
ing with the great majority OF the
people of Iowa, that the men who set
tic the Territories are fully competent
to govern themselves. Such is the
position of Gen. Dodge"
So it appears Dodge supports the
Kansas Nebraska Bill. So far, very
wcll-the people of Iowa don't do
any such thing, as they have proven
at almost every election since the con-
summation of that iniquity. He is
for popular sovereignty. The Bu-
chanan Administrator IS not in favor
of this. What do the Administration
organs here think of this ? The Her.
aid says:
"And there are qualities more nee
essary at the present moment TO tue
administration of the duties OF the
Chief Executive Office of our State
government than any others. we
mean his high toned integrity and his
firmness in maintaining positions
which he believes to be right"
Now what positions does Dodge be-
lieve are right? Does he believe the
leading positions laid down by the
Democratic State Platform are right
Does he stand upon that Platform
Is he not an Administration man? II
SO, can he stand on platform which
repudiates the Administration? The
Democratic party as we'll as the peopl'
are interested in having these ques
tons frankly answered. In othel
words, everybody and his wife wan
to know about that "goose question.
If he is in favor of the Eads doctrine
of pampering Democratic presses
with the children's school money, jus
say SO.

ON Dr.--The powers that be, at
Washington, have promised Augustus
Caesar Dodge the nomination for the
Presidency at the Charleston Conven-
ton, provided he will manage to re-
turn a Democratic U. S. Senator from
Iowa in place of Harlan or even if
he shall succeed in securing his own
election as Governor. This is GER
tainly high bid for Iowa, but we are
inclined to think there is some truth
in the story. 1t will be remembered
that Gen. Jones was sent home to look
after us, but finally gave up the state
in disgust, and started for Bogota. A
few Democratic Northern States are
greatly needed by the Administration
party, just now, and they are willing
to pay almost any price for them.
The difficulty is, there are no such
States in the market.
