A large number Of Democrats assembled
at the State Fair last week, nominated
Ben Nj. Samuels of Dubuque for Cover
nor, and Jesse Williams of Fairfield, for
Lieutenant Governor
A committee issued an address to the
lion hearted Democracy to rally to the
old standard and support the genuine
Democratic ticket
We notice that the Council Bluffs Bugle
rcpudiates and denounces the action of
Todd and his associates of the State Gem
trail Committee for the "dickcr" by which
the old party was sold out, lock, stock and

Gratis are not "chattels, and therefore not
transferable by bill of sale.

The following is the opening paragraph
of an able editorial in the Missouri Re
publican
We believe that he will, thoroughly and
finally. But W are not among those who
think that success is the only merit, or
that failure is conclusive evidence of in
capacity. We desire here to put on re-
cord that Gen. Fremont deserves success
and victory, whether he obtains them or
not He has done all that human energy
could accomplish, under circumstances Of
the utmost difficulty and embarrassment
lie has already far outstripped, in energy
and generalship, all his military competi-
tors of the day We do not speak igno-
rantly, for we know what was the condi-
ton of things in this Department when
he took the command and what it is now,
and the difficulties under which the change
has been effected In these two months
since the disgraceful defeat at Bulls Run,
which had thrown its dark shadow over
the whole country, he has done Hercu-
lean work, enough, of itself, to make the
reputation Of any man living.

4 wport. KY, Judge under AR
rest for TFCMEUM.

Judge +. A. Boyd, Of the Campbell
{ Ky County Court, who has been warm
advocate Of the right Of secession. and a
violent denouncer of the Government,
was arrested on Saturday, at the house of
Mrs. Craig, his sister-in law, on Plum St !,
near Front, Cincinnati. Officers Pollock
and Rose, Of the Custom House, made the
arrest, and found the Judge concealed in
the cellar of the house, but he declared
that he was persuaded to go there by the
females, and added that it was his inten-
ton to put himself beyond the reach of
arrest had the officers not anticipated his
flight few hours.
Judge Boyd was taken to Coying on and
placed in charge of Deputy U. 5. Mar
shall VIM. II. Allnut, who conveyed him
to the United States Barracks at Newport,
very much against his disposition, for he
expressed strong repugnance to being
placed under military power At his re-
quest he was conveyed to the barracks by
the back way, but within the hour his ar
rest was noised abroad. After remaining
in custody short time, Major King, we
are informed, took the response bility Of
discharging his prisoner, upon the grounds
that there was not sufficient evidence
against him to warrant his detention.-

The Louisville Jouonal speaks as fol-
lows of Brigadier General Sherman:
He is a native of Ohio, about forty
years of age, graduate of West Point,
and for many years President of the Loui
siana State Military Academy. He is a
tall, spare man-not why nor bent. His
form, though slight, has a commanding
appearance. He is quick spoken-rather
gruff in his manner and answers He
thinks great deal, but speaks little. His
mind is visibly absorbed III his duties, and
his time is devoted to performing them.
He is an officer whom his men soon learn
to place confidence in. They respect and
admire him for his ability and decision,
and are universally filled with the belief
that he is the man He is busy man
seen everywhere and seeing every thing
Nothing escapes him aud nothing goes
unnoticed.

The Chicago Tribune says:
Our correspondents at Rolla, whose let
ter has been unaccountably delayed, writes
on the 24th thus:
The anbulanccs which went to Spring
field some time since under command of
Lieut. ! II. Williams of your city, arrived
to-day at noon They bring forward fifty
of the sick and wounded, and have left
about Us in the hospitals of Springfield.
Lieut. Williams and his party were taken
prisoners Of war, and detained some ten
or twelve days in that city. They report
force of / 200 rebels there, and about
the same number at Lebanon, seventy
miles southwest of this place. They say
that the prevailing opinion among Union
men at Springfield is that McCulloch Is
DEAD and there is the strongest proba-
bility Of the truth of the statement. There
is not man to be found who has seen him
since the battle of Wilson's Greek, and
there is every reason to believe that the
arch traitor has met bis just deserts in a
dishonorable death. Last evening the
detached force, which has been posted at
Salem for two weeks past, came in with a
lot of horses and mules, and some forty to
fifty contraband negroes, the property of
prominent secessionists. The negroes had
been started towards the Arkansas border,
and were overtaken by our men. They
are, | should judge, an "a No. Il article

The army correspondent Of the Cincin,
natl Gazette, writing from Cross Lanes,
Va, on Tuesday the oath ult., says:
Our whole country, except Immediately
in those counties where the Union strength
is overwhelming, the secessonists con-
tinuo to carry on their guerrilla warfare,
and to hold in terror a people that lack
spirit to defend themselves One would
suppose that If the Ohio and Indiana
troops keep out the invaders from Eastern
Virginia, the boosted strength of the
country might at least be able to protec,
itself from its internal foes, but even so
moderate hope is disappointed, and after
we have driven of Garnett and Pegram,
Floyd and Wise, the people still beg that
we will march here and march there, "a
protect them from an insolent minsrity
among themselves.

A special to the Missouri Democrat
from Jefferson City, dated Sept. Both,
speaks as follows of Col Mcdowell S regi-
ment:
The Sixth Iowa Regiment has been
busily engaged for some time past, in fell

in cutting military road through.
The Iowa boys are at home with the
axes in their hands, and their labors do
them much credit.

The Lee County Teachers Association
will hold its third session at Pilot Grove,
Iowa on Thursday, Oct: 10th, at 10 O'Clock
q. m.
Many of our teachers have already re-
sponded to the call of our country,
and many more will doubtless follow
their noble example, but while We re-
joice in the patriotism of our brethren in
rallying to the rescue of our county, the
fact presses itself upon us that there is no
less labor to be performed by the teachers
Of Lee county than at.any former period.
II must be apparent to every teacher that
the interest in, and devotedness to our
vocation should keep pace with the grow
ing calamities and perils of the coun-
try. If it be admitted that in time of
domestic tranquility associations subserve
the interest of our profession, how inn
portant that we should noe avail our
selves Of their benefits.
We hope the teachers of Lee County
will attend and come prepared to partici-
pate in the discussions of the occasion.-
Lectures from DIR. Pyle and Rev. Cogshcl
of West Point, are expected-School
Government, by Prof. Hubbard, and Pri-
mary Teaching, by w. III. Pearson
Miss l.. Num- of TT Madison. and G..
i. Weir Of Pilot Grove, are invited to be
present and declaim for the instruction
and edifcaton of the Association.
A School Exhibition will be given at
the Pilot Grove school house in the even
ing. All are invited to attend.
The citizens of Pilot Grove proffer the
usual Inequalities to teachers and others
who may attend the Association.

j Corresponding Sec'y
/ =. S.-Circumstances appear to de-
mand that the Association should be held
on the 10th, rather than the 10Th, which
was contemplated.
