MURDERED MIN FOUND

Cnas Tellyea, who our readers will
remember, was missing last winter
from lis home near Bluffton: Winnie
shiek Co., supposed to have been muir
dered was found on Teaesday last in
Silver Creek, horribly mutilated- His
skull was cut through in three diff
ferent places by some sharp instrument,
supposed to have been an axe, his left
jaw completely broken in, apparently
from the effects of heavy stroke from
club, besides other marks of violence
about the head. He disappeared en-
the Dist of Feby. last, since which, 70
trace of him could be found, except
that his house showed marks Of violence
and blood. until as stated above, two
small boys in searching for cattle came
to an open space in small spring
brook, and in attempting to wade
across, discovered a quantity of cloth
ing in the stream, and without learn
ing farther. gave the alarm. After
being murdered, he was put in the
stream, and stones piled upon his head
legs and body to keep him down, and
so effectually was this done, that though
the place where he was deposited was
but few yards from where the high
way crossed the stream; less than
mile from Bluf'ton: and where many of
the neighboring people had called for
water, he had up to that time remain
ed undiscovered. His body and face
was in a tolcrable state of preservation,
while his apparel was sufficiently so as
to enable people to fully identify him
as the missing man, This is probably
owing in part to the fact that he was
deposited in or near a large spring of
very pure and rapid running water.
| A more cold-blooded and brutal MUIR
der: perhaps, does not disgrace the
annals of crime in this or any other
country. A toroners Jury was sum-
moned to sit upon the case, rendering a
verdict In accordance with the facts
elected. 1t will be remembered that
suspicion, last winter, rested upon
John Livengood, a brother n-law, and
Mrs. Telyea, wife Of the murdered man
! They were discharged about four weeks
since from the DEBORAH Jail, in the
absence of testimony to indict them fol
the crime. Since then they have left
but will undoubtedly be arrested, ant
if found guilty will suffer the condigr
punishment of an injured and violated
law. Of them we cannot say more a

or judicious to create the public feelin!

SENATOR HAMMERS LETTER.

y T.. " II Il y
Senator Hammer publishes letter
in the n. Iowa Times of the Bird Inst
that in the main agrees with the views
we have entertained. This is especial
" the case in regard to that portion al
lulins to the duty of Democrats in sus-
tanning the Constitution and the laws,
and to uphold the administration in dc
Tending the one, and enforcing the 9TH
er. As Senator Hammer says: Demo
Gratis have always held such to be their
duty, and we say nobly have they per-
formed it. But, in lis reasons why
PARTY nominations should not be made
this fall. we cannot so readily concur.
He SAYS:
The President would be continually annoy
ed with vexed political issues that would dis
tract his army, and might possibly be com
relied to defre his position to satisfy the de-
nands OF two great political parties in his
army: this would embarasS the ladmlnlStra-
ton and weaken the forces, and no one could
be benefited by it but the rebels
It seems to us that the whole dlifi-
Guilty lies in the fact that the admins
tration refuses to define its position.
while the South, from the positions
assumed by the Republican party, was
led to believe that their institutions
would be Immediately done away with,
or. if not, put in the course Of ultimate
extinction by the administration Of Mr.
Lincoln.
We deem it due to the Nation, that
the intended policy of Mr. Lincoln, so
far as the negro question is concerned,
be fully and distinctly set forth. And,
instead of such course being beneG-
cial only to the rebels, We hold to the
converse of that idea.
And as reason for this view, if the
policy of the Administration upon this
question is as we believe, to be conserv-
ative. it will disarm the Union men in
the rebel army, and instead of injury
t, the cause of the Union, will give it
adherents from among those now op-
posed, while all true Democrats and
conservative Republicans will for that
be none the less devoted to the support
Of the Government. 1t will only repel
the disunionists of the Greedy & Beech
er school: whose policy the admins
tration long since discarded.
Mr.. Lincoin's is not the first admin
istratlon that opposed Democracy, elect
ed'upon an issue that it Immediately
after abandoned, and instead of in jury
frank avowal of his policy can only
result in the highest good of the Ma
ton. We insist upon his duty to ex-
plain fully his intended policy upon
the troublesome question of Slavery.

DURATION OF THE WAR.

We cannot credit the apprehensions en-
tsrtained by the majority of our community,
that the present struggle between the Gov
eminent and its enemies, between order and
anarchy, will be long one. The Govern
ment is not prepared for it. Prostitution OF
business follows as a natural consequence
OF war, and for this the Country is not pre-
pared; and though the people will readily
submit to any precuuiary calamity, rather
than the Government should fail to main
tain itself, they are not the less determined
that this interruption OF business, conse-
quens upon the present unfortunate condi-
ton Of the Country, shall be OF short
duration, they are determined that the end
Of this struggle shall be the restoration
OF Law and order, tina. this end shall be at
tanned quickly.
The people Of the United States, and more
especially those Of the North and West, are
apeopls loving peace, who are found in
arms only when their rights arc invaded.
and when they go into war, they so with
thu determination to 6ght it through, as
pcaes-loving men, they see that the shortes,
road to peace, lies at present through des-
perate fight. tive hope for peace, We must
gain i. through war. There is no other
route to it. Any other path would lead to
but hollow truce, with two, three, or more
wars in the back ground, instead Of the one
engaged in. 10 the name Of common. sense,
then let US do our duty. Let US do il bold.
II. snsrgstieally, unequivecally; and thus
settle forever the question Of discord, which
has psriled the life Of our republic ever
sinee its birth. II any man presends to
love peace, let him show his sincerity by an
uawavcrins support Of the Government in
its efforts 10 atssiu that much desired end
and he is, therefore, the strongest friend Of
peace, who favors the most strenuous and
vigorous prosecution Of the var.

The Democracy of Potsawattamie assem-
bled en- masse, at Babbi,t's Hall on the 26th

men Delegates to the State convention to be

NJ. Pusey, A. II. Palmer, j. d. Test, Joel

port
After the adoption Of this resolution it
must be acknowledged that matters seem
mixed. A "convention," called for the
purpose of appointing delegates to a nom
mating convention, meets, transacss its
business, appoints its delegates, &C., and
then "resolves' that it will individually
and collectively" give its "united and en-
thusiassic support" to the nominees of a
previous and opposing convention. We
have frequently heard Of a s'harmonious
discord," but have never seen the paradox
80 fairly illustrated as in the action of the
late Pottawattamie Democratic Conven-
ton.

Democratic party in Iowa affords a fair
sample of the success attending the efforts
