Mr.. EDITOR /:

MIR. EDITOR:
Last Friday afternoon noticing quite
a number Of prominent members OF the
fast fading Democracy in town, en-
quired Of one Of the faithful brethren OF
that persuasion for the cause OF their
appearance, and was informed that
convention was about being held to
select delegates to attend the eonvoca-
ton Of the saints, about to assemble at
Des Moines under the guidance of that
arch Traitor and Dcmasogue Dennis
Mahoney Of the Dubuque Herald.
Feeling little curious to see the man.
ncr in which the Savans would act in
the premises, started for the Court
House, the place where political meet
ings are usually held, and meekly took
my scat on one Of the back benches.
The meeting was called to order ny
Bro. Standard, and on motion OF Cous-
in Harry, Boon De France was called to
the Chair, and c. w. Irish was elected
secretary. It soon became evident that
there was distraction in the camp.
Mr. Stoddard, much to the surprise OF
some Of the Faithful, came out in
straightforward union speech denounc-
ing Mahoney's call AZ being nothing
short Of rank treason, and was in favor
Of taking prompt measures tor putting
down the rebellion, threatened to leave
the party if Traitors were allowed to
pass unrebuked. But alas for poor Al
beat he had gotten into the wrong pew.
To all human appearance Treason was
as rampant in the convention as i'll the
kindred one which lately met in Mont
gomery. There was a committee on
resolutions, but they could not agree
on any definite line Of policy, but finally
presented two or three resolutions, SO
tame i'll their character that no discuss
ion could be elected upon them. The
few true friends Of their country
who were in the convention tried hard
to get the delegates instructed to give
the government generous and warm
hearted support on the war question:
But the effort fell still born. It is a
matter of profound congratulation that
there are but few such men in the coun-
| ty as those of whom the convention were
composed. There were only about two
dozen present, four or five of whom APP
peared to be true and loyal citizens the
living monuments
| ofthe tact that the freemen Of the north
believe in liberty OF speech and and al
Iow reasonable and scdi,ioas language
to pass unpublished.

WAslIlNGroN. July

w AsHtN0lON, July I.
Sunday was 4 great day in Washing
ton. Telegraphic advices to Gen. Scott
from Gen. Patterson, at Martinsburg,
say a great force is coming from Man
nassas Junction to reinforce the rebels
under Jackson and Johnson. who have
formed a union near Winchester
Patterson is III danger OF being driven
from Jackson, and asks troops. Ten
regiments were going to-day and last
night, mostly New \ Workers, by rail to
the Relay House and Frederick. The
column under command OF Gen. San
ford arrived at Martinsburg three days
ago.
Nothing has been heard from Gen.
Mcclellan. 1t is supposed he has not
had time to come to paLtcrson's sup.
port. This movement OF the enemy will
be met by an advance OF the whole Of
our Virginia force towards Manassas
Junction at the earliest momcnt---pos-
slbly within two days. 1t is hoped that
the next movement from the
Junction will be great enough to enable
Gen. Mcdowell to force his way be-
tween these divisions and shut i'll the
advancing rebel column between Pat
terson's and McDowelrs commands,
thus compelling flight or foot race
or surrender. It il thought that Col.
Stone at Harper's Ferry with be forced
to take the Maryland side and join San
ford on his advance. Probably the first
battle will be between Winchester and
Martinsburg with 81, 900 men on each
side.
The feeling here to day is that if Pat
terson is driven back the enemy will
get in our rear and derange tho plans.
Patterson has 1000, Stone 1000, and
Sanford 10000. They ought not to be
beaten.
No more regiments will be accepted
until Congress has passed bill (now
in the hands of committees) authoriz-
ing ali extraordinary force with liberal
appropriations tor pay and outfit
The Presidents Message is regard as
a document Of rare and unqualified mer-
it. Its argument and conclusions met
a hearty amen. The popular heat ofthc
country will respond to the messag with
even a greater outpouring Of men and
money and blessings than the document
itself predicted. No one hesitates to
adopt the Presidents war policy as the
true and only course. No member Of
the Cabinet saw the message before its
delivery. 1t is Mr. Lincoln's work in
every line and word.
There is great anxiety to hear from
Patterson and McC lellan, who are driv-
ing Johnston and all his rebels out Of
Northern Virginia to make clean field
for our advance movement.

WASHINGTON, J My 6.

WASHINGTON, Jnly6.
Judge johnson, Of Missouri, the new
Senator from that State appeared to-
day, to the surprise of almost everybody
and took the oath lie looked sheepish
like man swearing to lie; and It Is
more probable, if there was not mil
age Of 81 900 or more to be gained, he
would not have gracedth the Senate cham
Der by his august presence. lie has
confidence in the Constitution and laws
Of the United States, for just about the
sum now due him.
Mr.. Breckenridge has bceu thrown
ont Of the Military Committee to which
he was named, at the executive session
in March, because his loyalty is suspect
ed. He is not upon any committee.
The late Vice President looks and acts
like cat in a strange garnet. 1t IS
said that he will not remain here long.
The position is too uncomfortable.
The Northern Democrats Of the
House will not oppose the war policy
of the Administrator. They appreci-
ate too we'll the fatal result to themselves
in the present aroused temper Of the
people should they commit any factious
folly. John Logan falls in, quits his
.dirty work." and even wants reg'-
| ment,
Capitalists say money can be got to
any desired amount for the prosecution
| Of the war to final issue. They do
not dread flour hundred millions for
sharp campaign half as much as =
weak and undecided handling of the
rebels. Capital is overwhelmingly on
the side Of vigor, regardless OF expense.

LOST CHILD.

Last Friday afternoon between the
hours Of three and four, small child
OF Mr.. jacob Kuchara, aged but a few
weeks over two years, strayed from
the home ofits parents, situated about
twelve miles east of here, one mile west
o. Salt Creek, and nearly opposite the
residence Of Mr.. z. T. Shugart 1t
was not missed however until shutdown
the mother supposing it to be with the
father III the field near by, and he pre-.
eMmlng 1t to be at the house. Search
was Immediately instituted, but with.
out success. The next day the sad
news OF lost child became quite gen.
eral in the valley Of Salt Greek and
numbers turned ont to aid tie distress
ed parents in the search, but without
any success. BY the following day,
Sunday. the news had reached our
town and some Of our citizens imme-
diately started to aid in the search.
which was vigorously prosecuted, but
withno better success than had attended
the labor Of the previous day. On
Monday morning more Of our citizens
went to aid in the search. People
from all parts came focking in, and
the hunt continued all day, part of
the time during the most drenching
rain We have had this season. but with
the same fruitless results, that had
marked the efforts Of the two previous
days. Tuesday morning came, and
instead Of those being disheartened,
who had hunted ths previous day,
they were found, early upon the ground
ready to continue their noble efforts Of
search. Others confined to arrive un.
III their estimated numbers reached
three hundred. Fortunately for them,
and especially for the almost distract
ca parents. the search was brought OF
2 close about ten o'clock in the morn
ing by finding the child floating in the
waters ofTronblesome creek about FIVE
rods east of Salt creek, through which
It must have waded at depth of ten,
twelve, or fourteen inches.
When found it was considerable dis.
figured, having one eye eaten out one
ear off and also some flesh from the
breast which was probably done by the
f'sh. is generally conjectured to have
fallen into the stream on the evening of
its disappearance.
While we would condole with the
unfortunate parents we would not fail
to applaud the noble sympathy Of the
people, that turned out from SO large
. scope Of country. Besides those liv.
ing in the valley Of salt creek, there
were individuals there from Koszta in
Iowa County some twelve or fourteen
miles south, some from Tanners in Ben
ton County, about the same distance
east, land some Of our own citizens,
like distance from the west
