This Rebellion.

An American residing in London concludes
a letter to Chas. g. Greene, Esq, the editor
of the Boston Post, in words as follows
When it is remembered that the writer and
the person addressed have been lifelong and
active Democrats, the words have special
signi6cancc
1 wish I could put every man in the North
only one week in England. He would then
go home--every man-resolved that, cost
what it might of blood, and treasure, and
time, there should be no cessation of a cen
stantly -intensifying power bearing down up
on this rebellion, till every breathing soul
and every rod Of ground within what now
are, or ever were, or ever will be, the United
States, recognized the flag of the Union as
the only banner of sovereignty. Nothing
else will do. Nothing can cost too much
"All that man hath will he give for his
life," and to part with the smallest member
of your dy-poitic is to infest the whole
with gang,ene You are struggling for your
national life. Millions in Europe know it,
and if you abate one 1.-THE of a hair from &C
complishing all to which you are entitled,
your power to impart courage to them, or fear
to their masters, is lost forever. Don't rea
son. Don't tcmporize. Don't listen to sug
gestions Of compromise The time for these
is past. Upon absolute and unconditional
surrender to the Constitution as it is, can the
honor of the Young Hercules of the Western
World ever again stand erect 1t is not the
people am afraid Of 1t is wealth and pow
er that fear. Let the cor populi be the
COO Del, till every smoldering cinder Of re-
bellion is troaden out.

Trouble i'm the Democratic Camp,

The call issued by Mr. Mahoney, editor of
the Dubuqe Herald, for Democratic State
Convention on the 10th of July, meets with
considerable opposition. A protest, signed
by all the leading Democrats of Dubuque ex-
cept Ben. NJ. Samuels, has been published
Directing to the call for several reasons, among
which is the fact that Mr.. Mahoney incorpor-
ates the groundwork of platform in his call
which they contend he had no right to do
This man Mahoney, if we may judge by his
call and his course editorially, isasympathizer
with rebellion. He objects to the Presidents
prosecution of the war as unconstitutional
and to the War Loan of this State for the
same reason. Any man who would seek te
distract the country in the present crisis or
such issues as he raises deserves the execra
ton and adherence of all true friends Of the
Union We do not believe he reflects the SEN
timents of any considerable portion of his
party. We are glad to know that the loya
sentiment of the people of Northern Iowa is
fast driving his traitorous sheet from circula
ton. 1t was only year or two since tbs
most widely circulated as well as one of the
best papers in the State. Alas, how are the
mighty fallen!

These bonds are offered for sale at par at
the office Of the State Treasurer at Desmoines,
till the sth of July, in sums of 800, $500,
and 81 900, to suit purchasers At the end
Of that time the remaining amount will be Of
tered in New York city, on sealed proposals
till the 10Th of July. The Governor has is
sued an appeal, calling on men Of capital in
our State to take up these bonds at par
They are certainly good investment, as they
draw interest at the rate of seven per cent. and
are exempt from taxation.
We notice that the New York Herald of
the oath ridicules the idea of Iowa offering
her bonds for sale, after suffering so many Of
her county and municipal railroad bonds to
be repudiated We confess this looks bad,
but it should in no wise impair the credit of
the State in this instance. 1t has irrevocably
pledged its faith to provide adequate means to
pay the interest on these bonds as the same
becomes due, and the principal at the expira-
ton of twenty years. And for this purpose
the revenue arising from the entire taxable
property of the State has been set apart and
pledged for these purposes; and it is made by
law the duty of the Census Board, (Which
duty the law provides may if necessary be en-
forced by mondamus,) to levy tax in each
year sufficient for these purposes, after pay
ment of all expenses of collection.

COMPLIMENT TO THE Iowa VOLUNTEERS
Ex-Gov Stewart, now editor of the St. Joseph
Journal, pays the following hearty compli-
ment to Col. Curtis and the Iowa volunteers
eve doubt whether any regiment in the ser
vice has done more service or moved more
rapidly than Col. Curtis's command. The
officers are prompt and the discipline admira-
ble-not a word of complaint from any quar-
ter. Their movements in this vicinity have
been most rapid and effective. A gallant
regiment it is of both men and officers. Take
them as whole, they are noble specimen
of brave, hardy and chivalric soldiers. Long
may they honor flag so worthy of their

ATTEMPTED NEGRO INsuRREcT1oN IN ARKA

ATTEMPTED NEGRO RESURRECTION IN ARKAN.
sAs.-The Memphis Bulletin says:
In Monroe county, Arkansas, about thirty
miles west of Helena, several negroes were ar
rested last Sunday week, upon charge of at
tempted instruction. On Tuesday three Of
the negroes-two men and one girl-were
hung. One Of those executed belonged to
Colonel Lightfoot. He was a mulatto boy, a
blacksmith, formerly owned by James Bush,
of Big Creek. He was the ringleader of the
plot, which, as detailed by himself and others,
was most atrocious. The white male inhabi-
tants were to be murdered females and
children spared provided they did not resist.

THE SECOND REGIMENT PAID DRIVE
were mistaken yesterday in saying that Messrs.
Price and Clark had not yet paid out any
money to the Iowa troops. 1t appears that
they went on the railroad to st. Joseph, where
they found the I'd regiment and paid them.
On account of the risk of travelling through a
hostile country with so large sum of money,
they did not deem it advisable to go to Boon
vile, to find the LIST regiment, and so returned
to Keokuk We understand that they are
now, however, on their way to Boonville, to
pay Col. Bates men.

Information of reliable character has reached
Cairo that no attack is seriously intended on

is thought that Missouri will be made the seat
of the war in the West, as Virginia is of the
East. If this proves true, our Iowa regiments

In many of the Southern States, the price
of provisions is seen to be more than double
what it is at the great depots of the North; so
that in all such States where the Confederate
Government have troops, they are costing as
much to feed, as twice the number in arms
are costing the North.
What is the position, then, of jeff. Davis
and his Generals? 1t would seem that he
must fight soon, and fight desperately and
successfully, or perish.

twas reported some days since that the
rebels had taken possession of the important
town of Piedmont on the Baltimore & Ohio

The following dispatch which we find in the

The reported taking possession of Piedmont
by the rebels was false. After burning the
bridge and cutting the telegraph wires, they
returned into the country. 1t is said that
large force are still in that neighborhood.
