"A BIG THING" SPoILED-Lieut. Governor
Babbitt, the knowing editor of tho Council
Bluffs Bugle, who is an amazing hand at chop
ping logic, has beaten himself in his last Bugle.
He devotes column, more or less, to answering
an article which we printed q week or two ago,
headed War as means Of Grace" from the
Springfield Republican. He goes on, after
knocking the wind all out of the article in his
peculiar and unanswerable manner, to show that
this article is probably from the pen Of "Old
Abe"-or at least it is official, or semi-oflicisl,
because the Springfield Republican is printed at
the home Of Mr.. Lincoln. Facts are of no con-
sequence to Rabbit. But We suggest for his
consideration that the Springfield Republican
is printed in Springfield. Massachusetts,

THE HAWK-EYE

~ Although NO blow has been struck by
the Government, there has been great and salts
factory progress in the campaign. The work OF
preparation has been carried forward rapidly and
strongly. The first hurry being over, there is
now more method and thoroughness in all the
movements Of the Government, and the forces
collected are gaining daily In discipline and
powsf, % well - in numbers. The people are
impatient 70 bear the actual clash Of arms, and
to know that the army Of traitors is receiving
condign punishment, but It 10 apparent that
the Government is planning for an irresistible
advance upon the enemy, and intends to hold
impregnably al the ground il occupies, and to
leave NO chance for annoyance by hre in the
rear, A. the plan Of the campaign is gradually
disclosed BY the operations Of the Government,
the wisdom and skill which mark it become
more and more evident, and there IL ample rea.
son for the most undouoting confidence that the
wisdom and determination of those who are at
the head Of affairs will bring the struggle to 4
successful issue, and with Is small loss OF life
and waste Of resources ~ are consistent with
the magnitude of the effort The blood and
treasure Of the people are freely offered to sus-
tain the Government, but it will not on that nc
count be prodigsl Of either, and shows no dis
position to risk anything in mere brilliant dashes
at the enemy, but is evidently bent on grand
movement, driving before it or crushing out the
rebellion as it proceeds.

peace, till the fig of the Union again floats from
every stronghold from which it has been stricken
down. Do YOU think, fellow-citizens, that Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois will allow their most direct
communication with the seahoard to be obstruct-
ed at the pleasure of an alien State, at Harper's
Ferry? Do you imagine that Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and Southern New York, whose tributary
waters flow through the Susquehanna into Ches-
apeake Bay, to say nothing of the Delaware ard
Chesapeake Canal, will tolerate foreign master
in Hampton Roads? Above all, do you believe
that the Giant of the West will accept his path
way TO the Gulf of Mexico as privilege granted
BY the mushroom Confederacy? Yes, they will
submit to this degrading yoke. they win acknow.
ledge this CALLING usurpation; but it will be when
the Alleghanies shall bow their imperial heads to
the level of the and the current of the Mis-
sissipp and the Missouri shall flow backward to
the Rocky Mountains.

estimated that over thirty tons OF cltables were

contained bottles Of choice whiskoy or brandy,

the inqui-ilivc Provost Guards, who have strict
