OSE might easily inter from the re-
marks in the Gazette, yesterday morning, that
James J. Lipdley is considered by that sheet
a traitor. and that grievious error was pr
petrated In sending him off as eommssoes
Tor the State. Neither position is tenatic.
The Gazette also lsbors to make IL appear that
Gen Btker is responsible for the Outrage
Gen Baker will shrink from no responsibility,
and /. not ashamed or indispoeed to meet any
of his vahant traducers. Of the past few days,
face to face. The Gazhte. however. csnlot
DENY that Gov. Kirkwood was here at the
time the commission was sent ont, ard tor
some tue previous, and that he knew Pre-.
cisely who was going, aud all about 1t, end

one OF the commissioners, he would not have

attempt to skulk and evade? 1t knows that
Gov kirkv had perfect confidence in Mr..
L'ndley's loyalty, else he would have said 80.
Why did not the Gazette talk right strasht
out the next morning after the commission left

these tiu.es Of war, great care should be taken
by the powers that be, and not few OF our
citizens have been surprised that that noble
and tried young colder. Ernst Claussen. has
not been called upon 10 fill some roeition OF
trus. He is in all respects q competent sold
ier In Germany be made his mark in battle
ct the early age OF sixteen, and in the Iowa
First at Wilson's Creek, as Lieutenant Of the
German volunteers from this city. he ehowsd
such energy and bravery ss to entitle him to
honorable notice. We know that he has been
offered position in Sigsrs Brigade, but he
wishes to he identified With the Iowa service.
and it is the earnest desire Of his nun erous
friends that he be promoted to eome position
Of honor an trust, to which bic ability and
experience so eminently fits him. We pre-.
sume the only reason why 1t. Caussen has
not been assigned to some position in our ser.
vice ere this is because he 10 too
modest to press himself upon tho atten.
ton Of the Governor, or engaging his friends
to do so for him. We hope he may be promo

vate in some OF our companies. He is every

service again. 10 view Of psss appointments.
