NORTHERN ITEMS.

The New York Times of Monday, the 4th inst
contains the important announcement that Pres-
dent Lincoln has sent out an order to the Western
Military Department transferring the command
from General Fremont to General Hunter. The
order is absolute and unconditional and has
reached Fremont before this time. 1t is based on
Lincoln's thorough conviction of Fremont S
incapacity as a General and of gross profgacy of
expenditures of the public money under his ad-
ministration.
The Government is proceeding against the
reporters for some of their revelations and
structures. The Star and Republican are also
censured. 1t is complained that the rebels get
the Northern papers almost early as they are
received in Washington.
Mcclellan has issued an order for shooting four
soldiers for sleeping while on picket duty.
A despatch to the New York Times, dated
Washington lst, says that there is a slackness in
enlistments again, especially in the larger States
Enlistments few that the War Department
has again returned to the system of accepting men
directly without interpostion of the State authori-
ties
The Hcrald's Washington dispatches of the
3lst, state that Lincoln had informed certain T.
S. Senators, who had called on him to know when
a forward movement would take place, that the
responsibilities of such movement was left with
Mcclellan. 1t is the purpose of the Executive
to sustain him in any undertaking whatever.
Advices from New York to the 3lst, state that
the jury in the case Of the privateer Savannah
stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal.
a Northern paper thus accounts for the defeat
of the Federal forces at Bull Run " When the
battle was at the hottest point and nearly to
side, there came word that there were two
vacancies in the New York Custom House.
Hence the stampede Of the leading officers. The
men followed"

Providing FOR THE FUTURE-A sensible
suggestion.-In the lower branch Of the Tennessee
Legislature on the 9th, series Of resolutions
was introduced one of which was as follows
Resolved, That to make sure our defence
against the invading foe, large armies, Oh the part
of our Government indispensable, and while
our ports are bockaded we must depend upon the
agricultural resources Of the Confederate States
for sustaining both the people and army of the
Confederacy. In our opinion, therefore, it be-
comes equally the patriotic DUTY and the best
interests of those who do not engage in the mill
tary service of the country to use their best ex-
ertions to provide for the ensuing year more than
an ordinary quantity of provisions. And to that
end We would call the attention of our respective
constituents throughout the State, and especially
those who may be engaged in agricultural pursuits,
to the Importance of seeding sufficient quantity
of their arabic lands to provide an abundant
harvest for the ensuing year to supply the wants
Of the country; and we would also call their atten
ton to the Importance of raising an increased
quantity of live stock, particularly cattle, hogs
and sheep-the two former Of which are so essen
tal for subsisting, and the latter for comfortably
clothing our gallant troops

BEAUFORT, S. c.

A correspondent of the Yorkville Enquirer,
writing from Beaufort, S. c., gives description
of the place as follows, which will be found in
teresting inasmuch as the enemyhave attacked it {:
Beaufort is situated on Port Royal River,
seyenty-fve miles from Charleston and sixty from
Savannah The harbor is very spacious, and deep
enough to accommodate any war vessel in the
world. 1t is said to be the second best harbor
in America The town is of the oldest in
the State and usually contains about fourteen
hundred inhabitants. The greater part of the
male population is at present in the army. With
the exception of York,ille, it is the handsOmest
town we know of in the State, and in some respects
surpass even it There many beautiful resi-
-dences; and evidences of wealth, luxury, and
fnement are to be seen on all sides. The climate
is almost tropical, and most delicious oranges can
be bought here at 10 cents per dozen. Lemons,
lines, figs and pomegranates are also abundant.
The bay and surrounding waters abound with fish
and oysters"

How is IT The small amount of cotton de-
handed by the factories in the South together
with the blockade, keeps down the article to
low figure. The Factories at the South are now
paying from to 10 cents for cotton, and yet they
are demanding nearly 100 per cent. advance up
on former prices for their goods Is this right
The necessities of the people create their demand
for them, and these corporations taking the al
vantage of this necessity are putting almost a
double price upon their fabrics. What better is
this than note shaving, in its worst form, or de-
:nanding usurious interest
These are times when every interest should be
content with living profit, but beyond this it is
crying shame. Ruin aud starvation must over
whelm the poor people of the land, if spectators
and skinfints not checked in their purpose to
get rich out of the Ear.-Rateigh Standard.

THE RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTHERN Con-
FEDERACY.-The Liverpool Post refers to the ac-
ton of the Gar the American question, and
says: What Russia has done, why should not
England and France do? After speaking of the
probability of such interference: the Post conclu-
DIES in the following terms:
If mediation fails, then the question arises hat
ought to do? 1t is competent for US to recognize
the independence of the Southern States. 1t is
at least competent for us not to recognize i'm
perfect blockade. We want cotton, aud we must
have it. We are under the pressure, or will soon
be under the pressure of necessity. National law,
like municipal law, must give way to an exigency.
Millions of our people, through no fault of their
own, through fault Of climate, season, gov
ernment at home, may, in a few months, be expos
ed 10 positive starvation, because Of the madness
of the people composing the American Union.
Are bound abstain from interference
under the pressure of circumstances which have
originated in perfectly understood promise of
mutual exchange? At present, however, it is
not necessary to make the point too fine. The
Economist may be right in its assurance of there
being abundance of cotton brought to Liver
pool and if our contemporary can be relied on,
there will be occasion for studying too intenty
the laws of nations. But in the meantime,
Russia has set an example which England will
be very wrong not to follow Failing in counsel,
the question will arise, apart from prospective
principle, whether it is best for to get cotton
from the Southern States or continue at peace
with the Northern States.

INDIAN TREATIES.

Gen. Pike, the Confederate Commissioner Pleni-
potentiary to the Indian Tribes west of Arkansas,
after arduous labor of over four months, has
concluded ali the treaties he desired to effect
These are made with the Creeks, Choctaws and
Chickasaws, Seminoles, the Wichitas and other
small bands within the "Leased District" four
bands of the Southern Comanches, the Osages,
Quapaws, Senec cas- and Shawnees, and last, but
not least and most important of ALL the Cherokees
The whole Indian country south of the 37th
parallel is now undivided phalanx, unit for the
South and determined in opposition to the North.
These men agree to raise men to fight their own
and Southern battles, thus: The Cherokees
have already raised two reg ments and rendered
a third; the Creeks a regiment, several reserve
companies, and tender second regiment; the
Seminoles battalion ofthe best fighting men; the
Chickasaws a regiment and tender second; all Of
which are raised being in the field. The
Wichitas and the other bands also agree to raise
men when called upon while the Osages promise
500 warriors We will thus have as our strong
allies force of from light to ten thousand warri
ors. When the "Pet Lambs" and the "Zouaves'
hear the war whoop Of these warriors it will be
more dreadful even than the remembrance of
Manassas and Oak Hill.

CONFEDERATE CoURT-We learn that this tri-
bunal was in session last week at Edepton, during
Thursday and Friday. His Hon. Judge Biggs
delivered learned, elaborate and eloquent charge
to the Grand Jury, setting forth clearly the duties
of that important body, and urging them to its
faithful fulflment. No criminal matters were de-
geloped, but many presentments were made Of
debts due and property belonging to alien enc
mics.
1t was ordered by the Court that all information
given to receivers under the 2nd and 3rd sections
of the Act Of Sequestration, shall be in writing,
under the oath of the informer, which shall be ia
ken and subscribed before Judge, Justice of the
Peace or Commissioner of Affdavits of this State,

when we doubt not but that the docket will be
crowded with cases arising under the Sequestra-

THE UNION TICKET.

Never in the history Of Iowa politics
has there been ticket placed in the field
which has been hailed with that over
whelming degree Of enthusiasm which
everywhere meets the Union ticket
with the name Of that gallant soldier
and statesman w. Ii. Merritt At its
head.
All through the State as far as we
have been able to learn OF the action OF
the people, this ticket is hailed with ac-
CARNATIONS Of JOY. Men of all political
creeds who have heretofore chung TO
party organization with the utmost
tenac,ty, let loose their grasp and flock
around the Union standard as the only
patriotic position 10 hold in these times
Of national tribulation. The heart Of the
people Of Iowa is in the work. The &C
ton strikes the chord at the right point,
and where heretofore there has been
jarring and discord, comes forth one
united strain.
Voters Of Iowa, yon do we'll to throw
down your party text books-your
watch words and battle cries. The &C.
casion demands it, and woe be to him
who through stubbornness Of mind, or
blindness Of vision, fails TO accept the
"voice Of the people as the voice of
God"
Voters of Iowa, you have but one
common purposc-you arc Of one heart
and one mind 10 this contest between
the Government and rcbcllion-see to it
that you are found together on the day
of election, shoulder to shoulder, tram
ping in the dust all partizan efforts and
raising aloit the banner of Union. There
arc but two political organizations to-
day and there will soon be but one. The
Republicans are making desperate eff.
fort to keep up partizan strife. Let them
be shown that they are warning against
fate, and that they must succumb.
Circulate the news every man, and la
Dor while you may, for the State Union
ticket.
