The CAVALRY REGIMENT.-The First Regi-
ment Of Iowa Cavalry has been ordered into
quarters at Burlington. Some of the COM
panies have arrived and others are on the
way. A despatch has been received from the
War Department stating that the government
will buy the horses for this regiment. As it
is, each man has taken his own horse or
hired one at the pay allowed by the Govern
ment, which the year around is good hire.
But by this new arrangement, the Govern
ment will buy all these horses at a fair price.
This action of the Government was secured
by the earnest appeals of Gov. Krkwood.
If the Governor could find leisure to visit
Washington in person, he might doubtless
obtain many other favors for our State, as
Gov Morton, Of Indiana, has recently done.
The only way we see for him is to take the
time, for as long as he is in the State he will
be overwhelmed with business and visitors
on business, and the time for such mission
will never seem possible to be obtalned.-

THE Fire Zouaves.

At the Great Battle of Bull Run the New
York Fire Zouaves covered themselves with
imperishable glory. AS the first dispatches
announced, they fought like devils, "ELLs-
WORTH was their war cry,-and by their
bravery and efficientness in that trying time
they added another laurel to the imperish-
able fame Of their fallen commander. The
Washington Republican gives the following
incidents:
The Fire Zoauves advanced to the charge
with deafening cheers for the Union, and
were exposed to CALLING fire from the bat
teries, to the fire of the Louisiana Zouaves,
and also to the attack of the rebel Black
Horse-all of which they stood with hero
ism Of which the history Of the world pre-
s.nts few parallels. AT each fire, as they
would perceive the rebels fall, they would
exclaim, Ellsworth"
The charge upon, our wounded and flying
men by the enemy's Black Horse Cavalry,
Capt. Asaph, of Alexandria-of which Wise
has so often boasted-is an act well calculat-
ed to cover the Southern name with shame
and disgrace forever. AS they advanced to-
wards the Fire Zouaves, they were met with
a heavy fire from that gallant band, when
they shouted out to the Zouaves that they
had made a mistake that they were shoot
ing their own friends-at the same time dis
playing the stars and strips. A number of
the Zouayes, thinking mistake might have
been made, started to their relief, when the
flag was thrown down, and terrific sortie
made upon them. But their treachery met
with swift and terrible retribution. The
muskets of the Zouaves were again turned
upon them, and they were fairly cut to pieces,
only sixty Of them being left out of some
hundreds.

How Powder is Put on Board War Ship.

On last Friday, the United States steamer
Colorado received her powder. The process
is thus described by the Boston 1raveier j:
The Colorado has red flag at her mast
head to-day indicating that she is taking her
powder on board All fires and lights are put
out on board at this time, and all hands must
have cool dinner. Nothing can be cooked,
even for the officers. The custom generally
is to cook enough the day before the maya
zine is opened. The Colorado will take about
fifty thousand pounds. tits placed in copper
tanks and each tank has from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred in it, and all made
into cartridges. Each tank is marked
with the size of the gun or cartridges. Each
gun has three or -four different sized cartridges
the largest being for the first charge. As the
gun gets warm smaller size is used, and so
on down to the smallest. Near the entrance
to the magazine is what is called the light
house. A large lantern is here arranged,
with sort Of bulls eye, which throws light
into the magazine. While the power is being
carried in, a man is here stationed with
bucket Of water, prepared to use it in case
anything should happen to the lantern. The
greatest care is used to prevent accident.

CEDAR FALLS. IOWA.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1861.
The so-Called Democratic Convention.

This body met at Dss Moines on the oath
ult., and put in nomination Hon. CHARLES
MASON for Governor, MAruRlN l.. FISHER for
Lieutenant. Governor, and j. NJ. ELLwooD for
Supreme Judge. Personally, we know but
little of the candidates, but we see it stated
that probably MATURrN l.. FISHER is too much
ola Union man to stand upon the platform
adopted. The Convention was SHINY at
tended, and was perfectly harmonious" in
their proceedings, which We by no means
consider speaking well ofthose who took part
in what the Dubuque Times, with too much
truth, calls the "Rcbel Convention" 1t is
a grave charge upon any man in Iowa, that
Of traitor; but if the resolutions "unani
mously adopted" by that Convention as the
platform, do not mean secession, we fail to
comprehend their meaning.
A Convention Of all the States is called for
Compromise with Southern rebels is believed
to be the proper way to settle our present
difficulties. The President has usurped pow
er, and is leading the Republic to despot-
ism. The grcatrebellion cannot be put down
by force of arms. The Convention is OPP
posed(O to secession, but still declares that
there is no way to prevent it. The Union
should be, and must be perpetuated, but the
doctrine is repudiated that the States never
had Independent existence rom the Union.
Taxation for the war is opposed. Iowa has
violated her Constitution, and is severely criti-
cised for doing anything for the support Of
the Government These men calling them
selves Democrats are none other than VAL
LANDINaQ Ind BURNETT school traitors.
The plllIU is not so successfully befog-
ged but what its darnnable heresy is plainly
visible. 1t is "a disgrace to the State of Iowa,
to the loyal States, to the Democratic party,
that such convention should ever have met
outside of JEFF. DAVIS kingdom. We re-
joice, however, that it is not the voice of Iowa
Democracy. Any man who indorses and
advocates the doctrines set forth by that
convention is at least in sympathy with
the rebellion, and any press that labors u
their PRONUNCIATION is secession and rebel
one, however much it may be denied.

at Manassas. 1t may be voted down on the
ground Of the improbabillty that the rebels
will give up one of our men in return for
two that they have already.

few out here in Iowa which we will throw

Correspondence OF the Clnclnnau commercial.
Washington, July 27.-The great feature
ofCongress on Saturday, was Senator John
sons speech, defending the acts of the Gov
ernment 1t was bold, incisive, and in parts
very powerful. He spoke about four hours,
arraigning Breckinrige, Powell and Polk, as
enemies of the Government in open sympathy
with traitors. He made short work with
Breckinrige's constitutional objections, de-
picting the rebel army in full march on
Washington-a hundred thousand men call
ed out to destroy the Government, while the
President was denied the right of attempting
to preserve it. He declared that the time
had arrived to put forth all the powers of the
Government His sarcasm in dealing with
Judah H. Benjamin, one of the Southern
Confederate thieves who belonged to the
tribe which distributed our Saviour's raiment
among them and upon his vesture cast lots"
was terribly severe.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph of Wednesday.
While we feel proud in publishing the fol-
