Much misunderstanding to exist among the voun

the subject of clothes and cothDg and yet the law of
Congress controlling the question quite clear and admits
constructions Many Volunteer Companies, and
Baaons and Regiments entered the Confederate service
with the idea that the War Department would supply all
deficiencies of clothing among them and would moreover
be prepared with future supplies meet the accrung
of the soldiers; and consequently. suffering in
the beginning which their officers and the State authorities
should have given The law of Congress, set forth in
the provide for the public Defence reads fol-
lows, to wit:
said volunteers shall furnish their clothes. When
'caled into actual service and While remaining therein

SPEAKING OF STEALING the Northern papers howl
over the fact that the authorities of the Southern States
have generally taken possession of the forts and arsenas
within their borders If the South took possession Of
little share Of the general fund-he share within her
ders and they have grabbed the navy too We ought to
have our share that Southern products form the basis
of American commerce, American pays all the
duties to the Federal Government Out of these duties
have been built the Navy, the Capitol Fortress Mon
roe, Fort Pickehs, Brooklyn Navy Yard, yea and Cos
port too which the Vandals destroyed. We want hall
the public buildings half the regular army, half the
navy, half the public lands, and half of sundry other
things. 1t is hard to be blockaded by COMPOUNDED

ANOTHER GoNE.-Tbe Goldsbo1o' Rough Notes has
been forced suspend. The times hard on news
papers, and the list Of daes in State is becoming
(pardon the puD) very weakly.
We will miss our sprightly Godsboro contemporary,
and trust that its notes may be issued again. Our
exchange list getting small by degrees and beauti-
fully less and Of those papers that still receive more
than half printed on half sheet and very meagery
filled at that.
We question whether any but the older and more
firmly established papers in the principal towns will be
able to weather the storm, and they will be very much
like soldiers marking time They will make little head
way, if they do not drift backward.
Without vanity or selfpraise we think we may
safely say that we have given matter since the
commencement of hostites than before it, and we know
that we have worked harder to collect aud collae the
news from all quarters That efforts have not been
wholly unappreciaed is shown by the large increase
our subscription and is rather doubully shown in the
wholesale appropriation of our news paragraphs and
editorials by sundry of our State exchanges. However

PROCLAMATION.

The Secretary of War has accepted,from
this State four additional Regiments of In.
fantry and ona of Cavalry. One regiment
of Infantry is already organized, as learn,
under COL Bennett of Polk county. Two
are accepted as the regiments of Coils. HoF.
man of Davenports and Vandever of Du.
buque, and are not yet organized. The Col.
Of the Cavalry Regiment will be appointed
at Washington. They are all rcquired-to be
in rendezvous from the 18th to the 18th of
August at Dubuque and Davenport.
l have sent letters to several captains of
companies, whose ranks are nearly full, re-
questing them to fill up and report to me i'm.
mediately; but as many of the companies
whose rolls have been sent to the Adjutant
General are organized under the State law,
and are therefore too small for United States
service, deem it proper.to ycal on the peo-
pie generally, to come forward so that these
regiments can be organized promptly Should
more companies be offered than can accept,
| trust those not accepted will not .begrudge
to the country their efforts fox the cause,
and | will use my best, endeavors at Wash
ington to have acceptedsall, that may offer.
The. War Department desires that the
Companies Cor these new regiments be filled
TO the maximum if possible-1Ol for INFANT
ry and 95 for Cavalry. The horses for the
Cavalry will be paid for:by the General Gox-
ernment.
The expiration. Of the term of service OF
the three months volunteers renders neces-
sary this call for more men. Iowa has been
called on for her share, and | feel well as.
sured she will promptly answer the call
The recent misfortune at Manassas dem.
onstTates that the contest in which we are
engaged is one requiring, not passion, ex-
element or unreasoning and blind haste, but
rather patience, calmness, organization, de-
liberation, and fixed determination. The
work now required to be done in this State
must be done speedily. l trust that every
man who has at heart the good name. Of the
State andthe caasc oethe country, will rem
der me his aid to see that it shall be done
both speedily and well.

Patterson Responsible fOp, the
Defeat.
Especial to the Times

Especial to the Times.
WASHINGTON, Aug. official dispatches
to Gen. Patterson will show that the blame
for the defeat at Bulls Run, is due entirely
to his neglect Of orders. He was directed,
First, to engage and defeat johnson.
Second if unable to engage Johnson, to
get between him and Manassas and prevent
junction of his forces with Beaures s.
Third, If unable to fulfill either of these
orders, he was to harrass johnson in front
and keep him before Winchester.
Fourth, if he could do neither of these
things, then he was to make all haste to
Washington and join Mcdowell, as soon as
johnson could join Beauregard.
1t will be seen. that Gen. Patterson disre-
garded each of these orders, and that had he
obeyed either. he would haze prevented the
disaster at Balls Run, and at oaoa have en-
tirely destroyed the rebellion, or removed
the seat of war beyond the confines of Vir-
ginia.
