tW-It is stated in the papers that Mr.. John
Bell, the ex-Union, ex-Constitution, ex-En-
forcement of-the-Laws man, avows his readi-
ness to take his place in the ranks in the war
fare against the United States, but we guess
he would like rank good deal better than
the ranks. Although he is to be private, he
is SO old and infirm that we guess he will not
be able to marbh unless they assign him staff.

CONDITION OF THE BANKs.-The following
extract from the proceedings of the Iowa Sen
ate, May goth, shows that there was no foun-
dation for the surmise that the bank men of
the State want law to exempt the banks
from specie payment. Inasmuch as the Re-
view repeatedly charged Mr.. Green with being
in favor of such measure, even after he
publicly denied it over his own signature, will
it do him the justice to publish this extract?
"Mr. Rankin read communication from
the President of the Branch of the State Bank
at Keokuk, stating that the Bank did not de-
sire any law by which it should be exempted
from specie payment"
''Mr. Green, of Muscatine, President of
the Washington Branch, stated that all the
Branches of the State Bank were amply sup
piled with specie, and desired no legislation
on that subject"

RECEPTION OF TIE WASHINGTON COMPAN

RECEPTION OF THE WASHINGTON COMPANY.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, company
H, Cd Iowa regiment, under command of
Captain Cowles, arrived on the train from
8 Washington, en- route to the rendezvous at
Keokuk. A large company of our citizens
had assembled at the Ogilvie House and gave
the soldiers an impromptu reception, which
was none the less cordial because it had not
been pre-arranged Rev. F. W. Evans, in be-
half of the citizens of Muscatinc, welcomed
the company in an eloquent and patriotic adj
dress, which was responded to by Lieut.. \.
P. Chapman, from the ranks, in a brief and
appropriate manner. We observe in the ranks
of this company many gentlemen of high So
cial and civil position. Lieut.. Chapman is a
young lawyer of fine talentan education, and
of great promise. In fact the company is
composed of the best and most trustworthy
young men of the city and county of Wash
ington, many of whom have left lucrative pur-

with us summer is the season Of vacation,
when time can be easily afforded, by rep
resentatives and visitors, to the matter Of
Congressional legislation; that with the
North in the recent government it was.
Just the reverse; in winter everything
with them was locked up in ice, and it
was therefore the very period they could
best spare home duties-and hence the
use of that season for government pur-
poses.
Is not the suggestion of summer Con.
crosses a good one? And if SO, where
should we locate the capital? The ar.
.swer must be, in some cool, healthful.sit-
uation, near the mountains. Alabama
offers one such at Huntsville; Georgia
one, at Atlanta; and South Carolina one,
at Old Pendleton Start not at the men
ton Of so humble village. 1t would be
noble location for our Southern capital.

haps more than ALT was the home of

Energy in Adversely.

y
Some live not only to see earth in its
vanity but to experience years of lnisfor-
tune Adversity and care have faded
from many fair check, the rose-tinges of
health, and bowed many manly form
beneath the weight Of their oppressive
burden. Unfeeling as tho world is, they
have been left, no matter of what merit,
to toll almost in vain, amidst the glitter
of wealth and the sunbcams Of surround
ing prosperity. Many minds arc SO gen
tly and delicatly constituted, that they
yield easily to the wintry blasts of disap-
pointmcnt and the blight of faded cxpcc-
tations. Whilotsthis may show that they
have hearts OF Keen scnsibilities and re-
fined emotions, it proves also, that phys
ically and mentally, they are not consti-
tuted to buffet the angry waves of fortune,
orhave cultivated and strung to an undue
extent, those delicate cords of soul which
yield melody to the breath Of happiness,
and wall to that ofmisfortunc and sorrow.
While it is pleasing to see in any one
the cmblems of scnsibility under danger,
difficulty and misfortune, it is admirable
to show true heart, q sustaining energy,
an unconqucrable spirit. lie who dis
plays energy in advcrsity is far more GER
tain Of receiving the substantial sympa-
thy and Encouragement Of the world than
he who sinks under the sweep Of the tenn
pest.
The man who defes the rage of the
storm, who looks upon its approach with
an unblinlling and stcadlast eye, whose
spirit never yields, though the body may
be crushed to the grave is apt to excite
admiration and sympathy, and may tri-
umph over apparently insupcrablo and
dangers. But the proud spirit of man
Of man shouldrise in dignity andunbrollcn
strength though adversely and poverty
and neglect should surround Though
even human love itself should falter in its
idolatly.
Heaven helps those who help them
selves" But Heaven viii help those who
do right Integrity, energy, and proper
dependence upon the Supreme ruler Of
tie world will give the talisman OF sue
cess, and scatter disappointments, misan-
thropy, and dependency, like mists be-
fore the morning sun.
If then the spring flowers of hope have
seemed to withcr along your path, if-an,
ticipatcd success and triamphs have van
ishcd as summcg-night dreams, take cour
age, look up, depend not upon vain hopes
and fruitless lamentations but upon integ
rity and energy; for they are linked with
the most valuable gifts Of fortune. Il
they fail TO bring success they cannot
fail to bestow the consoling consciousness
OF having deserved it.-4ugusta Repujlic
