That Resolution.

Passed in Convention, and pledging the
Democracy Of this County to vigorous war
policy, was adopted for no other purpose than
to blindfold the patriotic citizens of all parties.
They say nothing of the State Platform,
knowing its enormities would distract and d.
vide their party. But the Party, AS HERETO
FORE, WILL, &c. Now, how has the party
heretofore stood by the country? Examine
the policy of the party, as laid down at Des
Moines, and you will scewhat it heretofore has
done. What do our Democratic Union
friends suppose the delegate from Goshen
meant and understood, when he voted for the
War resolution? What did our Banking
friend mean, when, having made breach in
the Court House clique, he wished to CROWD
the War resolution through, if it was not to
SWEEP THE COUNTRY? Why has the
Ciceronian eloquence of the Judge been 81
fenced upon the stump, while he rusticates
among the Farmers with the War resolution
in his vest pocket? The Republican Party
will see the cat in this Democratic meas
ure of meal unless they realize at once the
importance of the present issue.

Republicans.

Will you allow the coming election to go by
default p? or will you set yourselves at work,
- in days gone bye, and defeat those who are
committed to the treason of the Democratic
Platforms Will you stand idly by and see
men elected to our Legislature who are
pledged to the doctrine that our State can
make no more appropriations to aid the Gov
eminent in vigorous prosecution of the
present war, without violation of the Con-
stitution? Are we, as State, to withdraw
our hands from the Government at crisis
like this :? Pay no heed to the cry that the
present is not a party contest-but blow
for the Union. Party issues have been forced
upon us, as Republicans, and we can butmeet
them. Let US put forth the same exertions
that are now being put forth by the Demo
cratic party. Work every day in the week,
save Sunday-let the Democracy monopolize
that day, if they will at all events, you who
cannot take up arms for your country, utter
few words-do something to support the Ad-
ministration, and do it very soon.

A Good Move.

The sth, 9th and 10th Iowa regiments arc
now on their way to St. Louis, having been
suddenly ordered thither by Gen. Fremont,
who seems determined to intercept and cap
ture McCulloch and Price,with their rebel
hordes. The Iowa troops are not armed or
uniformed, but will no doubt be equipped on
their arrival at St. Louis; and we predict they
will be found as ready and serviceable on the
field as any troops now under Fremonts
command. Things appear to be working to-
wards crisis in Missouri. A decisive en-
gagement may be expected soon.

The State Fair.

A private letter received from Iowa City
Monday evening says:
1.-THE Fair is opening rather slowly, but
our Hon. Secretary assures us that promises
are quite fattering for as full an exhibition as
last year."
PRESIDENT LINCoLN.--The Philadelphia
Press says:
''No man stands higher in the affections Of
the American people than President Lincoln.
Amidst all the detraction and criticism which
have been visited upon his counsellors and
agents, no word has been uttered against the
President himself. He possesses the conf
dence of the American people more thorough
ly than any other public man since the days
of Andrew Jackson. They feel that he is an
honest man, that he has the conscience Of this
fight, and that ne labors with but single eye
to the glory, the greatness, and the perpetuity
of this Republic: And, after all, honesty is
the soul of public scrvice-the source Of the
public wclfare-for with purity at the head
of the nation, the body is healthy and happy

A QUESTION OF LAw.-The New York
Eoening Post raises question Of law of con-
siderable significance. Fremont having once
proclaimed martial law in Missouri, as it is
admitted he has a right to do, and having al
so, by his powers as military chief, and under
the construction of the law of nations, given
by John Quincy Adams, in his speech in
1912, liberated the slaves of rebels, can his
act be annulledIby himself or even modified
by any other authority? In other words, can
men once declared free, again be reduced to
slavery by any other color of law? The ques-
ton is profoundly interesting, as it affects the
the condition of all the slaves of rebel owners
now within the military jurisdiction of Gen.

Highly Important from Missouri
Mulligan Surrenders !
Especial to the Chicago Times.


The mail agent on the Hannibal and ST.
Joseph Railroad, who arrived at 7 o'clock
tonight, from ST. Joseph, states that Col
Mulligan and bis whole command, at Lex
ington, surrendered to Gen. Price and the
rebel force, on Friday evening, at o'clock.
The seige continued from Monday till the
time of surrender.
Prices force was 80 900 strong, while Col.
Mulliean's command was about $500
Col. Mulligan'S men were without water
all of Thursday and Friday, and were com
pletely exhausted. They fought valiantly
and desperately, but Were compelled to yield
to vastly superior numbers.
The Union less in killed s said to be 500
or go, while that "f the rebels IS some
1000 or 1000, aith a proportional number
of wounded.

The Battle Of Blue Wills Landing.
Desperate Engagement of Part of the
Iowa Third With $500 Rebels.

The st. Louis Democrat of the 23d has
full particulars of this sanguinary fight, OF
which we have already had a brief report by
telegraph. 1t appears that Col. Scott, with
part of the Iowa Third, few Home Guards,
and part Of a German artillery company from
St. Louis, with one six-pounder, attacked
$500 rebels, under Boyd, Patten and others,
in a strong position near Blue Mills Landing
Mo- The attack was made about three o'clock
in the afternoon. The enemy openeda strong
fire on his skirmishcrs, who slowly retreated
to the main body. The action soon became
general. The six-pounder was brought to
bear and two shots were fired with telling ef-
feet The enemy opened heavy fire on this,
our only piece, and killed orc gunner and
wounded two others, whcreupon several Of
with them the primer and matches, and rem
dering the gun useless.
The action was continued for an hour after
this, the men fighting Ike veterans, but ex-
haustcd by the long marches of the preceding
day, without artillery, and opposed to an enc
my six times their number, the struggle seem
ed hopeless and they slowly withdrew to the
open ground adjacent, bringing off with them
their wounded and dragging the 6-pounder by
hand, the horses having all been killed or bad
ly wounded In the meantime reinforcements
arrived under Col. Smith, but it was not
deemed advisable to renew the attack till next
morning; the enemy, however abandoned
his position during the night and crossed the
river, the last party crossing at about A. M.
The killed and wounded, for the number en-
gagged, is exceedingly large. The enemy loss
must have been very great. The following is
a list of the Iowa killed:
Private Norton, of company F., of Fayette Co
| Privates Darlan, Bendell aud J. W. Mix, Of COM
pany l.. OF Mitchell Co.
Private Brownell. of company K.
Maj. Stone, formerly Judge Stone, of Mari
on county, was slightly wounded; also, 81
others more or less severely, and six missing.
In addition to the loss of the Third Iowa
there were six Home Guards and one artillery
man killed, among them Capt Cupp, and ten
wounded

WHY MuLL1GANwAs NOT RENFoRcED.-The
fact that the administration drew on the De-
partment of Missouri two weeks ago for six
regiments for service in the Department of the
Potomac, which were promptly sent on by
Gen. Fremont, is being strongly urged by Ere
mont's friends, as reason why the response
bility of the failure to reinforce Col. Mulligan,
ahoud not be placed to his account.
1t is said that arrangements are made in
Missouri, and will be vigorously and immcdi-
ately carried out, which will insure the defeat
and surrender of Price in ten days, and the
remainder Of the rebels in that State in two
weeks, and that these arrangements have been
confded to Fremont.

ARE WE PROGRESSING ?-In 1856 a company
of troops from this city, who were on their
way to aid the Free State men of Kansas,
were turned back at Lexington Mo. In 1861
a whole regiment from this city are captured
at the same Lexington, and are now on their
way home as prisoners of war on their parole.
Then few struggling settlers were battling
for their homes nou we have half million
of men in the field.-Chieago Journal.

The REBEL FORCE IN MIssoURI-The St.
Louis NeUs says from the best il formation it
can gather, the rebel forces in that State are as
follows = Prices troops, 1900; McCul-
loch's, $4,000; Rains, 1000; Green and Har-
ris', 5000; Patten and Boyd's, 5000; jeff
Thompson's, 2,Oo0,-total, $4,000, If to
this be added the guerrilla parties in the
southeast and southwest, the total number OF
rebels in the field in Missouri will not be less
than 10000.

Mulltsau Surrendered!

Our worst fears have been realized. Col.
Mulligan and his brave men have been COM
PEELED to surrender to an overwhelming force
of the enemy, after holding out for five days.
The country will now wish to know what
all this foolcry means Why were reinforce
ments not sent to Col. Mulligan when the
presence of Price at Lexingtonbecame known?
Are little squads Of our troops to be scattered
over the country to be killed and taken pris-
oners by large armies of sccessionsts Are
our armies to be kept out of the way of the
enemy, and is all the fighting to be done by
detached parties
The most miserable laundering that has
ever cursed any civilized government has
lost the whole of Western Missouri to the
Union, and cost the life Of . man of ines lima
BILE worth to the country in her peril.
There was no earthly reason why Lyon
could not have been reinforced at Springfield,
and We believe there was nothing to hinder
the reinforcement of Mulligan at Lexington.
If there are not troops enough in Missouri
to efiectually subdue it, we wish to know
what is meant by the retaining of six thousand
| men in camps in this State
The mistakes being made everywhere, are
too palpable not to call forth the condemna-
ton Of the people in all parts of the country,
and in this State particularly.-Duly, 23d.

Dreadful accident to Reinforce
E1cnts for Mulligan.

JEFFERsoN CITY, Sept. Fl, m.
Steamers Iata,a and War Eagle arrived
this evening, the latter having left here with
the While Cloud and Desmoines on Wednes-
day, with troops for Lexington. Just below
Glasgow, hearing secessionists were there in
force, it was deemed advisable to surround
the place. Scouts were accordingly station
ed by NJ jor Tanner. Indiana Twenty.sec-
ond; and Colonel Wheatley, or Lieut.. Col.
Hendrick, of the s: me regiment, it is stated,
also, sent scouts around the other way. and
their meeting in clrnfeld late at night.
Thursday. they mistook one another for enc
miles, and fred, killing twelve men, eight of
the Twenty-sixth, three of tie Ri hteen.b,
ana one of tho Twenty second Indiana, and
wounding six or seven others. Maj Tanner
was dangerously wounded he may recover,
but thought doubtful. He was member of
the Indiana Legislature, a man of talent and
reported as one Of the best officers in the
volunteer service. General Davis would
rather lost half a regiment, he says, than the
Major. At Saline, our troops found the
place deserted and the houses and stores
plundered
