MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL.

LED MolNES, muy -, Aoo1'
Tomorrow is the last working day of the ex
ira Session, an adjournment having been deci-
ded upon to take place on Wednesday morning.
The session will then have lasted two weeks
All the business prepared by the Governor,
growing out of the war, has been already COM
pleted, or will be before the day of adjourn
ment.
The Loan Bill, providing for a loan of $780,
900, has passed both Houses, and is now law.
1t, with other acts, will probably be published
tomorrow, and will try and furnish you with
copy by the next mail. There were seven.
teen naysin the House on its passage.
The acts of the Legislature will enable the
Governor to make ample provision for the vol
unteers of the three Regiments Of Infantry al
ready called into the service of the General
Government. They will enable him, also, to
place the State in proper position for often
sive and defensive operations, by authorizing the
organization OF three Regiments, subject to i'm
mediate call, should any emergency occur
-Four Regiments were at first provided for, but
the bill has been amended and re-amended un.
til it provides for three Regiments Of Infantry
only. 1t may yet be amended so as to divide
one of these Regiments into Cavalry or Artil.

Judge terribly, and brought down sundry male

friends have full confidence that you will
survive the onslaught. Had you been posted
as to the votes Of the Judge during the present
session, modification OF your censure would
have been natural and proper. While / am
forced to agree with You that his Missouri COM
mission WINS an unwise and unnecessary measure,
must do the Judge the justice to state that his
votes have been nearer right than those of some
Others of his political birth and kin. 1t was
this fact-unbeknown to you, as the Journals
here have not published the yeas and nays this
session-that led some of your friends to regret
the sweeping censure in which you indulged.-
Actuated by this feeling, Rash. G. Clarke, of
Johnson, to-day offered resolution condemning
your attack upon the Judge, and vindicating his
loyalty, as evinced by his votes drusing the ses-
ion. The resolutions we're seconded by Mr.. Cul-

The House of Representatives Of this State
have undertaken a large job,-nothing less
than that of whitewashiug Judge Hall. That it
was needed is very evident by tie House under
taking it and doing it up SO neatly. We are
willing the Judge shall draw all the consolation
he can from it. But to man up tree it looks
as though they had made the matter worse.
Resolved, That the members of this House

denunciation of Mr.. Hall, fully believing as we
do, that in moving of the Resolution referred to,
Mr. Hall was actuated only by motives purely
patriotic, much as he may differ with any of us
in proposing the action suggested in said Res

entirely to any such policy by this State as is
proposed by said Resolution, we are free to &C.

The Tide Turned.

When the Amazon with its regal pomp Of
waters meets the tidal wave, borne on by the
mighty ocean, struggle ensues, producing a
rare phenomenon. Across its mouth for one
hundred miles the waters are heaped up into
stupendous breastwork as if to repel the en-
trance of the advancing tide. The obstacle is
vain rolling in its mighty pillows with regu-
larity and a rhythm which seems like joy at
conquering foe, it takes its course, till the ad-
verse wave falls away to ripple, and its own
bright and healthful waters fill to the brim the
largest and the smallest of the tributary streams
This seems to us no inapt representation of the
present state of our national affairs. Rebellion
rode onward bright with its hopes, gay with its
success, and seemingly strong enough to keep
its own in spite of all. But it has met the
ocean tide. National pride, love Of liberty, self
preservation, have all merged into one grand
element which is now directing its exhaustless
energies to repel and overcome the daring prog
ress Of evil, and rear as it may in its full might,
it must 60 down before a force which has no
parallel in history for the unwavering and over :
whelming resolution with which it is applied.
The events OF the last few days indicate that
the tide has turned. The most tmid and des-
ponding must feel that the movements made are
but the precursors of grand advance before
which every rebellious stronghold and trust will
fall, and by which the glory of the American
nation will be restored to more than its original

Our. Currency..Beware!!!

Mr.. EDIroR--We have fallen upon crisis in
our money matters. The Illinois currency is
ignored and thrown out by all Of the Banks Of
Burlington. 1t is worthless now for daily use,
but will become better in the future, and even.
tually will bring its actual value-not its ''nom-
inal value. But little of this currency can Sc
cure the confidence of Iowa for long time
Meanwhile We must wstch with an eagle eye the
foreign currency. Please publish the "Note of
Warning" which is contained in the following
extract of Springfield letter to the St. Louis
Democrat:
There are wild cats in the East as well as in
the West, and it is against such that would
warn the unsuspecting. Now, the fashion is to
clutch at anything Eastern; because it is equal
to gold, it buys exchange. But when the bust
ness of Illinois was formerly carried on through
the medium Of Eastern money, there we're worth
less banks, there are now. We shall have that
sort thrown ahoat here before we get the best
of the Eastern money. See what is happening
in Chicago. The old Georgia wild cat begins
to reappear, the moment the home brood goes to
the wall, And if the rest OF our own currency,
secured by free stocks as it is, is at once put
down, We shall have to run the gauntlet of all
manner of trash. First the Georgia wildcat;
finding that refused there will be Ohio wildcat,
such for instance as the Bank of Massillon; then
Eastern wildcat which will be at once made up
to order; then a better class of currency, and it
will not be until our people have been tried
with, and have learned to reject all these vari-
Gus sorts of trash, that the really good Eastern
money will come among US. It will take some
time accomplish all this. Meanwhile, many will
be deceived by the charm Of the word Eastern"
and for such this warning is especially intended
From being unacquainted with its value, you
will be the more apt to be ensnared, and there
fore il is Mise TO look well at all that offers.
