voters staid away from the polls where 40 900 voted
indicates any thing else than the appreciation of the

which will not down at their bidding.
The State journal, the organ Of this faction says
Of the conservatives that the present sufferings
must in great measure be ascribed to their wicked

Now, from this We may infer their admission that
the country is now suffering from some cause, and
the cause of our suffering lay with the enemy, and
that it did not lie with the South or its friends =
We know that we have on hand the most terrific
conflict the world ever saw that men have lef,
their homes by hundreds of thousands, and exposed
their lives in battle and in camp; that our soil is
invaded, our property sacrificed, our homes and

The return OF Frank B. Wilkie, local OF
the Dubuque Herald, 10 announced in the
papers OF that city.
Here lie an extract from bis account Of the
battle Of Wilson's Greek, near Springfield:
Everybody who was in Springfield was up
long before daylight and awaiting with fe.
verish anxiety the event Of the day. Day.
light came slowly-miputes seemed hours,
and yet nothing was heard from the direction
OF the enemy. About trn minutes past five,
the heavy boom OF artillery rolled through
the town like the muttering OF q thunder
storm upon the horizon, and cent thrill
through every heart, like shock OF electric.
ity. instantly mounted my horse and set
out for the scene OF action, which was full
twelve miles distant, and As l neared it, the
explosions Of the artillery became one con-
tpuous roar that only nov and then was
broken enough TO distinguish the sound OF
single guns. At timcs for ten minutes the
whole earth shook With one continuous tire.
mendous peal that seemed the prolonged howl
of hundred thunder storms mingled In one
then 1t would slacken for . moment, and
perhaps . single gun would be heard, then q
half dozen in . succession 90 quick that each
succeeding sound Tapped on the preceding
one; and then the tapping on would become
undistinguishable, and the whole would be
merged again ~ one terrific volume.
IL was like On old fashioned "fugue" tune
where the parts were the tremendous voices
of heavy ordnance "A single voice would lead
OF note or SO, then another would join and
another 10 quick succession till oil the sui
phurous voices in one sublime chorus were
reverberating over the hills and across the
prairies with a volume that shook the earth
like Niagara. Nearing the ground. the reg
ulsr voleys or muskesry were heard ming
ling their sharper tones in the grand concert,
while at all moments there Was an ipcessant
crashing Of guns that was never silent for .
moment, but sounded like a continuous dis
charge of huge 6re-crackers. Still nearer
and the words Of command were heard, with
now and then the crash OF heavy bodies OF
cavalry tearing over the ground-the dull
thud OF bullets a. they buried themselves in
trees, or their fierce whistle as they tore high
10 the air-the savage music OF round shot,
and the peculiar fixing whirr OF sheIls, and
the sharp crack Of their bursting, made up a
scene, the like Of which must be witnessed to
be appreciated, TO tho full extent Of one hall
Of its terrible, awful character.

Among the names that will live, long after
the present war 10 at An end, will be that Of
NKLLY WILLIAMS, of the town OF Lyons, State
of Iowa. When the Second Regiment OF
Iowa volunteers vas being orgaDiIed-when
the Governor OF that commonwealth, the
Secretary Of War, and the public prints we're
calling loudly for recruits, to fight for the
Union, this Young woman's patriotism over
| lsaped the barriers that had been placed
| around her sex. Healthy, strong, active
| full OF ambition-she had but one resolve,
and that was to 20 forth to battle and, If
necessary, to die 10 defense OF Der country's
| dag She ncccrdingiy cat eff her hair,
rugged herself in mems clothes, and thus dis
guised presented herself at the recruiting Of
foe 10 the town OF Lyons. She vas at once
accepted, and became . member OF Capt.
Oox's company, of the Second Iowa.
/ Mrs. Wiiliams-she was q married woman
had scarcely enlisted, when the regiment
was ordered to this point. Her husband, We
might as we'll add here, had deserted her 1T
the comm sncem ent Of the war, and taken up
arms 10 behalf Of the Southern OonfederAcy.
He WAS last heard from 1t Memphis.
From ST. Louis Capt. Cox's company was
moved to Birds Point, and during the dull
Damp life at that place Nelly was taken sick
She Was 30 i'll, indeed, that when her com.
panJ was ordered away, II wxs dsrm-d I'm
prudent 10 remove her, and she with severa
OF her sick comrades Was left behind. She
speedily recovered, however, and hastened
At once to ST. Louis to join her Regiment.
Ii was while passing down Chestnut Stree
this morning-on the way, We are told, Il
the Republican Office, to obtain q paper from
home--that suspicious rs to her sex wer'
awakened She vas moving quietly ant
! Dodestiy over tho pavement IN front OF th'
Metropolitan Police Quarters. when . sharI

She was dressed 10 the full Iowa Voluntee

insisted that the hands Of the Iowa Voluntee
were those OF q woman.
Shortly after this strange development
q Nelly was escorted to the Police Station
. where she made full, free and frank Coz

The only thing she seemed to regret Vas TIL
