young one. Surely, winter is close at hand.
ooh, snow, snow; soon We will cover the

Illustrated with practical exhibitions, proved
very enterestirsg and instructive, and, in the

Dan DE Quille.-In the San Francisco
(Cal.) Golden Era, which by the way, is the
best paper on the Pacific coast, we fine
the following merited compliment to on,
gifted correspondent, DAN De GUILE :
"During more than year past, the col
umns Of the Golden Era have given constant
proofs of the genial, generous and noble
qualities which distinguish our correspond
ent, Dan Dc Quille." His contributions
are of the most acceptable order. They are
by fresh, vigorous, and un.
affected style, an unfailihg fund Of hunnor, a
fertile fancy, and comprehensive knowledge
Of human nature, acquired in a life of varied
and adventurous self-reliance-
His comic sketches are widely copied, and
entitle the author to rank among the clev.
crest wits of the day. More agreeable OF en-
tcrtaing sketches of travel than the (" Wash
oe Rambles" would be difficult to mention.
In the r:alm of romance also, Dan Do guile
is equally at home. His characteristics as a
writer, eminently Western and Californian,
are already impressed upon the literature OF
our Pacific coast Although so copious a
contributor to the Golden Era, Dan De guile
finds leisure in the intervals of his daily oc.
as miner, to furnish many Of the
productions of his gifted and prolific pen to
an exccllently well conducted paper published
in town where he formerly resided-the
Gazette, Of Cedar Falls, Iowa-which is
among the most welcome Of our exchanges "

Az Ecao FROM MONTGOMERY.

The rebels in couciave at Montgomery re-
ceived the proclamation of the President,
calling upon the loyal men of the nation to
assist in maintaining the supremacy OF the
Constitution, and the laws passed under il,
with roa.s of dsrisivs laughter" This
was the only answer they could make to
document, the business Of which they could
10 no manner controvert. They felt that
they were impo.ens to break its force, and at
once they sought BY derision, to prove their
Indifference, the while they trembled With
fear, at the thought Of the resribusion they
well knew was in store for them. Just 80
with those in this city, who are in concert
and sympathy With these rebels. Unable,
through impotency to controvert, or COM
bat the sentiments and arguments advanced
oy j. d. LOCKWOOD, 10 his Grafton on the
Fourth, they seek, BY forced attempts at de-
rision, to hide their shame and confusion.
They will never forgive LOCKWOOD for ap-
pealing to the people on the fourth OF July,
to sustain a Government they have only
kno xn BY its blessings "-ttey viii! never
forgive him for counseling the people, to
resist the insidious Vaccinations OF those
at present attempting to overthrow the In.
dependence secured to US by the action OF
our Fathers of the Rev olution, on the ever
memorable Fourth Of July, lIl6! or
course not, neither will they forgive those
who eyinced a love for the old Constitution
and Stars and Stripes, by applauding the
sentiments of loyalty uttered by the orator !!
They have nothing but derision and abuse
for men who will advance or applaud senti-
msn,s of loyalty to the Government that
protects them. The Government of the
United States withstood the "powerful
derision of the rebel conclave at Montgome-
ry-ws think those hereabouts in favor of
preserving this Union, can withstand with
out blanching, the derision of those here
who have not placed themselves snder the
protection of the Montgomery machine,
though their sympathises are evidently with
those "runnng the masheen."

HARD UP FOR CAPITAL.

The Democracy of old Pottwattamie have
swent, and gone and done it, In Convention
last Saturday, they solemnly resolved that
they regarded "the doctrine promulgated
by some Of the Republican press of the
country-'hat the aim Of the present strug-
gle should be to abolish slavery in the States,
either by superinducing servile instruction
or otherwise, as monstrous and wicked
heresy, which none but the seriest fanatics
would advocate"
1t mattered not that no party or political
organisation held to this '.monstrous and
wicked heresy''-the Democracy of Potta-
wattamie mus. have an expiring kick. so
they resolved that ''some Of the Republican
press" were nothing but the "seriess fanat-
ics," and the Democratic party was there
fore opposed to them. Bully for the De-
mocraoy Of Pottawattamie-they have now
demonstrated that they can and uiH fgh,
on principle, whether there is another party
to the issue or not. They had much rather
fight the enemy where he is not, than where

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

The Presidents message explains the
whole mystery about the attempted rein.
forcemeGt Of Forts Sumter and Plckeus
during the first month of the present adj
ministration. 1t is briefly this /: Major
Anderson and his brother officers notified
the government tina, Fort Sumter could no,
be reinforced without the help of 20. 900
disciplined soldiers, and that his stock OF
provisions would last only for limited
period. Gen. Scott after careful ANALYSIS
Of the situation, decided that the necessary
force could not be collected and sent to
Charleston before starvation should have
done its work. But. omit no possible OPP
portuni'y OF relieving Major Anderson, the
Lieutenant General held Insulation with
the principal otacers of the army and navy,
and they all arrived a, the same conclusion.
buf the evacuation OF tie fort was likely
rot only to place the Gov erpment in false
! POSITION at home, bat to convey to foreign
powers the idea that it had voluntarily ac-
/ qulesced in it's own destruction. To pre-
vent these fatal results, il was determined
to reinforce Fort Pickens Simultaneously
with the forced evacuation Of Sumpter. An
order vas dispatched BY sea to the commau-
der of the BROOKLYN to land hrs troops at
/ Fort pickens. But when the order reached
the naval station in front Of Pensacola. the
troops had been transferred to the Sabine
and rs)ussd TO obey tie order. alleging as a
reason some dimsy armi.tice of ex President
Buchanan. This vas an act Of mutiny,

effort in the power of the Government to
send provisions to Major Anderson. and the

force, bat the Fort vas bombard-d and re-
duced before the feet could arrive to the
assistance Of the garrison.

Council BLUFFS, July Il, 1861.

EDITOR NoNPAREIL:
Dear Sir-The Bugle suggests to the
officers commanding the 4th Iowa Regiment
quartered in this city, that they issue orders
| oblging their men to be in quarters by 9
O'Clock at night. The venerable Colonel
represents US as prowling through the streets
all night, after some mask ed batteries, which
his experience in the matter has shown him
to be more destructive than grape-shot, and
more dangerous than bomb-shells. He
further warns US of the difficulty We might
be led into with some Of bis friends, treading
the same war-path.
Now, Mr.. Editor, If such disturbances as
referred to by the Bugle had taken place,
the proper steps to prevent them had been
taken by our officer, who can we'll dispense
with the Bugle's advice in matters Of decen-
cy and honor.
The fact is, that no soldier has interfered
with Mr.. Rabbits, or his friends, nightly
excursions, nor will any soldier thus inter-
fere. The character of the soldier, and the
cause he represents, are too noble, for him
to stoop to such low and detestable com
pany.
But, if we, the soldiers, will not interfere
with Mr.. Babbitt's business, We hope he will
not interfere with ours, and venture to say
that his slanderous sheet shall no more do
it!
Were We band Of lawless secessionists,
busy at overthrowing the Government Of
our Fathers of Rev olutionary memory, the
Bugle would congratulate US on our good
behavior; but, as we have sworn to sustain
right against wrong; loyalty agains. trea.
son; any means, however wilful, are good
for the Bugle in order to lower Us in the
estimation of our fellow citizens.
Truly yours,

THE ESIDENT,S MESSAGE.

The Message of the President Of tn g
United States, herewith published, is GER
tainly the most important public document
that has been given to the country since tn
adoption OF the Constitution. 1t is sufficient
to SLY that it is fully up to the demands of
the great occasion that has called Congress
together in extraordinary session-that it
calls for the means to make the war "short
and decisive"-that it proposes to bring
into the field 100000 men and to emplov
$400, 700, 600 in the effort to make it short
and decisive. The argument against the
secession dogma is mastery and exhaustive
bearing in all its parts the clear and 10
imprint OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
