The Anamosa Eureka sets forth the incon-
>istencies and shams of the rebels and sympa-
thiscrs in the North in garing light 1t
says:
When the rebellion commenced and the
Southern conSpirators We're seeding and steal
ing money, forts, etc, they cndeavOred to
keep the Nor quiet by crying no coercion"
fhe'r next reliance for Su CESS lay in the fact
that Congress one had the poWc TO declare
war. and that that body could not be assem-
oled inside of thirty days from the issue of a
proclamation calling the members together
And so when the news of the fall of Sumter
reach Montgomery, Mr.. Secretary Walker
announced that the Confederatcs would be in
possession of Washington on the 1st of May,
two weeks before the thirty days could expire
They did not anticipate that Old Abe, like Old
Jackson, would take the responsibility" and
call for quarter of million of volunteers
Finding themselves checknated here, they
cry "let US alone," and tell us-and their
northern toadies echo the words-that we are
90 no further. These Southern knaves have
thrown the constitution to the dogs and have
adopted constitution of their own and now
because we are thwartlng their expectations
they turn round and with solemn and horror
struck vIsage, tell us we must not violate the
constitution. The tools in the North take
up and repeat the cry, and we are told in all
the Mahony conventions that to save our con-
stitution, government and Union is to violate
the first, subvert the second and destroy the
third. When man is attacked by a muir
derer he has to offend himself in the best
way possible. Shall he stand quiet lest he
violate the constitution?

DEMOCRATIC HARMoNY-The Rsrieso sup
ports the nominees of the Mahoney Rebel
Convention, and pledges the Democracy o:
Muscatine county to the ticket. Only two
other Democratic papers in the State have as
Tn, Davenport Democrat, Upton Democrat,
and nearly all the opposition papers that we
have seen utterly repudiate it. And yet the
Reoiew has the effrontery to claim that the
party presents united front! Must we
doubt our neighbor's intelligence or his verac-
ity? .-.

Mr. c. II. ASmussen, clerk of the packet
Pomeroy, gives us the following particulars OF
the arrest at Burlington, of tive deserters OF
the I'd Iowa regiment
On the last trip of the steamer Pomeroy
from Fort Madison, on the 3lst July, five
men of Capt Littler's company, Cd Iowa reg
iment, came on board. and being without
money, the officers of the boat allowed them
to go gratis to Davenport They had the q.
S. uniform on, but were unarmed, with the
exception of revolvers Capt. Harper, of the
Fort Madison Rifles. 7th regiment, being on
board, entered into conversation with them,
and after listening to good many conflicting
stories, and learning from passengers that
they had sold a U. s. musket for 1925 in
Montrose in order to pay their fare on the X,
Mt P. 4 NJ. R. to Fort Madison, he came
to the conclusion that they were deserters.
The boat landing at Burlington, Lieut.. Cham
bers, u S. A. was called and after compar
ing their names as given to the clerk Of the
boat with the company's muster roll as sworn
into the service by him, they were taken into
custody by Marshal Winton at the instance
of Col Worthington, 5th regiment, command
er OF the post at Burlington. They had no
excuse to offer had no discharge, pass or
furiough they asse, ted that they were only
sworn in for three months, and that according
to their calcula ion their time was out, and
that they had left the company with nine
others when the regiment was taken to St
Louis. The I'd regiment is, however, sworn
in for three years. They stated that they had
walked from Hannibal to Montrose. They
submitted willingly to the arrest, probably not
knowing the consequences. Their names, as
given to the clerk of the boat, are as follows
S. H. Forster orderly sergeant; B. Farre,
4th sergeant; R. Talmadge, 7. Foley, and
VIM. Scott, privates.
Another case of desertion has also come. to
light The deserter is a volunteer from Har
din county, in the 9TH regiment. They sent
after him and held a council of war, in which
it was resolved to infict the full punishment
of the law death by shootin2) as soon as he
port will probably be dealt with in like man.
ner. 1t seems hard fate, but the example
is too much fraught with evil consequences to
be passed over short of rigorous execution
Of the law.
- Minister Harvey, charged with holding
reasonable intercourse with the rebels, defends
himself in card, published in the N. Y.
He-oM of the 29th u!t He complains bitterly
of the injustice Of an attack upon an absent
man, upon incomplete evidence, and states
that the correspondence was not only known
to the Government but approved by them.
He very emphat cally declares attachment to
Republican principles, his hatred of the doc
trine of secession, and says that in the great
and final account il any one act of his life
will claim for him the interposition of Divine
mercy, it will be the part he took in reference

GEN SCOTT THE SHEET-ANCHoR OF THE RE-
pUgIIC.-The New York Tribune now freely
acknowledges its error Il urging an immedi-
ate advance of the Federal forces into Virginia,
N its cry of " Forward to Richmond" In a
recent issue it says:
Gen. Scott IS now the sheet-anchor of the
Republic, and everything that strengthens
him strengthens the nation. There can be no
remaining doubt that he was right in the
premises in choosing to postpone an advance,
and that we who differed from him were de-
olorably wrong. Let every thought of dis
trust be banished, while we rally around the
glorious old chief to save the Union.

EDIroRs APPEAL: You will doubtless be in
terssted in all matters connected with the
war, and therefore I will write to tell you of
our doings in these parts. The Carroll Ran
gers is a cavalry corps. under command Of
Captain Hudson. We have just got through
an encsmpmsHt OF two weeks, held in some
woods about three miles from this, on the
property Of DR.. Walden. Adjoining is a
splendid prairie about tbrse-qasrters Of a mile
long, beautifully adapted for drills. We have
bad pretty hard vork. and in addition to the
regular cavalry msRepvers, we engaged a
gentleman Of good experience and skill to in
struet Us in The ssber exercise, especially. He
has been drilling in the Adams troops Of
hatcher, and the Crosse Tete Rangers, Of
Louisiana, and undfr bis care We have made
great progress, as bis mode Of teaching is ez-
c~sllent, and comprises the practical eombins-
tons both against horse aud foot. On Satur-
day last We bad a grand parade and flag pre-
sentati0n. There were at least 1000 persons
collected under the outrageous shelter OF q
grove on the prairie, where all could see and
hear. The flag was presented with an sppro-
pirate speech BY our special belle, Miss Mad
dox, ard received with the accustomed honors.
Oar parade was a successful one, and as TIE
majority Of those present had never witnessed
such q sight before, it created great interest,
especially the saber exercise, the bright blades
flashing in the SUMS rays, making a brilliant
scene indeed. We are ali now anxious to be
of, and our captain leaves to-day for Rich
mond, 10 sDdeavor to arrange with CIV. Wise
for our immediate departure to join bis brigade,
which II we do, we all trust in common with
orr Southern brethren to leave our marx upon
cur invaders. Yours respectfully,
A CARROLL RANGER.

WAsHINGToS, June 2i-Wm. P. Miles Of
La has been appointed consul to Tripoli. A
battle between Gen. McDowelPs division, and
the southerners is deemed Inevitable tomorrow.
II is now evident that the main
blow Of the fsdsralists will be struck from
Washington With 45, 000 men. Surprise is ex-
pressed 10 sumo quarters that Gen. Scott has
not prevented the erection Of batteries at vari-
Gus points on the right bank Of the Potomac.
The News York Tribuns's correspondent says
that all the roads between The advance posts Of
the southerners, and from thence to the federal
lines, are covered with masked batteries.
The New Ycrk Times' correspondent says
that the battery at seWelrs Point is composed
OF FIVE colunbiads, six smaller pieces, three
riaed cannon, and are commanded BY 600 men.
There are 5000 men at Norfolk.
