The Spanish Minister called to assure the Sec

without foundation.
Owing to Information received at the Post

carried via Davenport and Council Bluffs.

sent a summons to Col. Mnlligan To surrender,
whereupon Price gave him to Monday morning
at 4 o'clock to surrender; if he did not, he would

render being cnt off from water. The rebels
were successful lily repnsed three times on the

Ike Partingtou at Hilltop.

The indomitabe Ike was spending vacation at
Hilltop, from whence he wrote as follows to tho
Boston Courier:
Bully for vacation. I'm having the tip-top-
pest time you ever see. Uncle Nathe, was az
glad to see me IA he could he. for he's cross old
curmndgeon, and makes the boys toe the mark,
tell You. He said he hoped I'd be good, and
said shouldn't he any thing else. He whispered
something to Aunt lletty, and looked at me. but
didn't seem to mind it, He's got new horse
that is very old, and prctends he can't go along
unless you push him with whip. 1t is all sham,
for stuck brad into a stick and touched him
with It. and he went like smoke He kicked his
hind heels through the dasher broke the wagon
and landed me aud Bill into the ditch. Uncle
Nalhe said he oould't see what had got into the
beast, hut | guess 1t was the brad, though l
thought II wasn't best to mention It..
We had II llag raising here yesterday. IL was
big fun. you better believe. We hadn't any
flag ; so | got one of Aunt lletty's sheets, and
painted blue square in the corner with her in
digo bag aud chalked out some stars then got
Uncle Nathe' pot of red paint that he marks his
sheep with and made some elegant stripes, and
the flag was done We took bran new cod line
OF Uncle Nathes for halyards, then cut down
Moe little maple for II pole, aud nailed it up on
the barn. One of the neighbors went down aud
told Uncle Nathe what we were doing, nud he
came up from the meadow ~ mad ns a top. |
see hy the way he acted that he was y seceshion-
er ii" took down the flag that we had consecrat-
ed,and couldn't stand t,so made him a sprcch,
and iold him that the flag he had pulled down
was the emblem oi our right to do AS "" plca.ed
aud he had better be- careful how he trl"d with
the spirit of liberty. I'd better not said It, be-
cause all OF us boys had to go to bed without "ur
supper that night, and Aunt Ictty gave Us
great talking TO about the sheet. What tuss
folks make about triaes
But we had some fine fun next day with Unclo
Nathr. He's got big white rooster, that he sets
everything 10y. So we caught him aud coored
one of his wings blue, the other red, aud he look
ed as line as anything you ever saw. The hens
didn't know what to make Of him, aud thy all
seeded. When Uncle Nathc came home the first
thing he saw was his grower, who got up on the
woodpllG aud yelled Yankee Doodle do as
loud ns he could baw Uncle Natho didn't know
what to think of it as first. but when he saw The

knew by the light in his deep dark eye,
When he heard the beat of the mastering drum,
That he never woud fold his arms and sigh
over the evils that were to come
| knew that the blood of a patriot sire
0outsed through his veins like a stream Of Are
So took his hand
And bade him 90,
But he never dreamed
That it grieyed me SO.
Two fair haired children he left with me
Who lisp his name at the eventde-
The very hour when upon his knee
lie used to fondle his pet and pride.
Alas they may never again be blessed
By fathers care In the old home nest.
And he never again
May hear the tones
Or kiss the lips
OF his little ones
know that he has answered his countrys cali,
That his breast Is barred at high command
But my heart will break, know, If he fall
In the battle front by n traitors hand
Yet murmur not though my tear -wet.eyes
Attest the worth of the sacrifice
'Iis a wiie's free gift,
Two lives In one
In the name OF God,
And of Washington.
Perhaps whom the maple trees are red
Aud the golden glorie, of harvest come,
| shall wake some morning to hear his tread.
Aud give a warm hearts welcome home
To knecl with him in n teryent prayer,
our God for HIS watchful care,
In shielding his heart
From the rebels brand,
Who honOred the flag

JEFF. DAVIS IN FAVOR OF FoRClBLE SuPPREs-
SION or REBELLIoN.--Thc National InfeiligeHcer
says:
While the Honorable Jefferson Davis was Sec
retary Of War under President Pierce, it will be
remembered that the Territory of Kansas was the
iheater of grave political controversies, finally
degenerating into civil feud The contest arose
among the adherents of two Legislatures respect
fully assuming to represent people OF that Terri
tory. The body sitting at Lecompton was
recognized by the Administration Of Mr.. Pierce,
as the only legitimate repositories of the leglsla
tive powers capable of being exercised under tho
organic act constituting the Territory. The body
sitting at Topeka was regarded as revolutionary,
and, as such, deserving TO be dispersed by the
Federal authority. Under these circumstances
IL was that on the Sd of September, 1886, Mr..
Secretary Davis wrote as follows to Gen Persfer
H. Smith
The position of the insurgents il that of open
rebellion against the laws aud constitutional au-
thorIties, with such manifestations OF purpose
to spread devastation over the hand, as no longer
justilirs further hesitation or indulgence. Patri-
otisn and humanity alike require that rebellion
should be promptly crushed"
On The same day he made requtsitiOn on the
GoueTnor of kentucky for t0o regiments 10 be mus
tered into service and 10 be at eedH Of Gen. Smith.
Then It ,oas righ TO put dopa "rebetlion" by
arms and to march mttia from other States to aid
IN enforcing the ia'os.
Now, the hteHigencer should have added it is
unconstitutiona" and wrong, for jeff. Davis
himself leads the Rebellion.

There is something in large pine forest that

a spirit Of awe silently creep into his heart as he
wanders among these huge senIincls of the noun

aud grand arched halls, carpeted with soft moss
that gives no echo 10 the tread; listening to the
various notes the thousand aud one songsters Of
the forest warble forth, mingled with the plaintiff
zephyrs that sigh among the evergreen branches,
that wave to and fro over this land OF lights aud
shadows. Shut out from the busy world, in this
dimly lighted temple of nature, wnere the strag
Cling rays mingle with the long weird shad
