u. q. MARSH Al FOR IOWA.

We learn from Laurel Summers, Esq,
late U. S. Marshal, that Mr.. Hoxie, his
successor, filed the proper bond and
took the oath Of Office, at Keokuk, a
few days ago, and, Of course, entered
upon the duties devolving upon him.
In retiring from the office of Marshal
Of Iowa, Laurel Summers, Esq, takes
with him the same good name, the came
unsullied integrity which was his natu-
raj heritage. Ae an officer of the Fed
eral Government he has discharged his
various duties with the most scrupulous
care and promptness. Every act OF his
Was in accor lance with the law and the
constitution. His name at the head Of
the Department, at Washington, Of
which be was member, was up to the
standard. So perfect were his reports
and SO honest his dealings with the gov
eminent, that alter few times, his doc.
umcnts we're accepted without investi-
gallon. During the eight years Of his
Office, not .one trick, evasion, or the
slightest symptom Of double dealing,
either With the government or with in
dlv'duals, can be pointed out. His acts
and deeds in public as we'll as 10 private
lite are beyond the pale Of superstition.
Unlike others who have the charge Of
Uncle Sans work, he has not managed
to raise . competency out Of it. His
salary was not large, and be has not
stopped to burn his pocket with dime
mat d'd not belong to him. In leaving
me official post, which has 90 truly been
nonored by Mr.. Summers, we can but
"'sh him happy future. In whatever
position be may be placed, or whatever
may DC his business hereafter, we ioiu
with his numerous friends in WISHING
him abundant success.

WoS Seems leevteebos.
However much the American people
NAV deplo,e sy.teus,ie bloodshed; how
ever much the horrors Of war and the
revolving scencs Of carnage may be de-
plored by good mso and true patriots
such q state Of affairs, even in our own
country seems inevitable. Our Southern
and Government dispatches indicate this
too plainly to admit Of any doubt. The
concentration Of forces at Charleston by
the seeded States, and the movements
of the war vessels Of our own govern
ment, mean war and nothing else. The
fret blow will be struck at Sumter, oT
10 the immediate vicinity. Ere this the
work Of carnage may have commenced
Indeed it 10 very probable. Whist is II
for /? the preservation Of the Union
That u noble object, and one worthy
Of the blood Of thousands Of patriots
II was by the free shedding OF blood and
unparalleled display Of courage that the
Union Of these States was established.
Shall We say that tho lives Of thousands
OF our best men-of our fathers, broth
ers and friends, 10 too much Of holO-
caust to otter up for its preservation : its
perpetui,yi No! We say most emphati-
cslIy-x thousand times, No. This war
which is to deluge the country with the
warm hearts blood of her children, il
tor the preservation Of the Uuion. Does
anybody believe i'll Does any sane
man imagine or surmise that this sys-
tematic blood letting, which is about to
commence. will preserve this Union, or
rather bring back into bonds Of friend
ship and anity those States which have
declared Themselves beyond the pale Of
the Unioni We have yet to see that
man. All coincide in the belief that this
resort to arms will have the direct ten
dency to complete the division and rem
der the enlargement perpetual. And
not only that, it will cause other States,
known as the Border Slave States, to de-
part also from the Federal compact and
cast their lot with those with whose in
tcrests they are most identified. The
war then is not tor the preservation Of
the Union. 1t is not believed that
scenes Of gore and fields Of blood will
bear any such fruits. What then Is
this war fort 1t is to perpetuate dis
union. 1t ie to tear in snnder the gold
en- band Of Union. The object for
which hundreds OF thousands of men
would willingly lay down their lives to
maintain, is not thought to be secured by
this overwhelming tratrcide. What,
then, Is to be obtained. 1t is alleged
that thousands OF our best men are t.
be made targets fer each other to shoe,
at in order to prove to the world that
we have q government, when the same
deed proves likewise that the Union can
not be preserved. Admitting that the
shedding OF blood will have the effec,
to prove that we have q government,
and vet divide the country in twain, j,
looks to us now as being barren vic.
tory. We have no heart to speak OF
write about such y matter. We can
only wait for the Developments Of the
future. They will come fast enough.
