Success of Greenwood in Rifing Old
Muskets.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
We are pleased to learn that Miles
Greenwood is now prepared to rifle one
hundred muskets per day. The machin-
cry prepared for this purpose is the la
test improvement. and works admira.
bly,.
Some of the old muskets manufactured
in 1888, and altered to use percussion
locks, were altered and tested yesterday.
The muskets were rihed in the Enfield
style. They were tested by Mr.. Green
wood and Colonel Granger of Gen. Nc
Clellan's staff
Using the conical ball they were found
effective at eleven hundred yards. AT
seven hundred and fifty yards. the firing
was remarkably accurate, aud the balls
penetrated several inches into dry oak
tree.
We learn that Mr.. Greenwood has a
contract TO rifle thirty thousand mus
kets. now in possession of the State OF
Ohio. In few days he will be able to
rifle eight hundred per day. The rihed
muskets will be lmost as good as the
famous Enfield rifles.

ber horde who have precipitated the
Southern States into revolution and at.
tempted to disgrace the annals OF Oh,
century and the soil of our Republic, by
creating government born in perjury
theft and most unmanly treachery.
9Th. protest against your call as be,
ing well phrased to place the Democrat
ic party of the State in the estimation oI
the people, in opposition to the govern
ment of our country, and destroy the
prestige of its patriotism, which has, du-
ring three -fourths of our national histo-
ry, made it the party of the country.
The Southern conspirators are striking
at the very life of our government, the
will of the majority constitutionally ex-
pressed, and to stop before repelling and
crushing the assassins of liberty to count
the cost Of resistance or to quarrel over
matters in relation to which the ablest
minds of the country differ and have diff
fered, IS to offer advantage, IF not success
to Metoe If President Lincoln, under
the pressure Of a necessity which knows
no law-from which there was no re-
treat save in an ignominous surrender of
the integrity of the government, which
he is bound by his birth-right. his citi-
zenship and high and solemn oath to
preserve and protect, has without author
ity of law, or in violation of law, consti-
tutional or otherwise, done or authorized
acts for preservation Of the Government
from peril or destruction. even handed
justice, sound patriotism. and the judg-
ment and voice Of the people of this and
future generations will approve his con-
duct.
That act cannot be we'll called wrong,
arbitrary or outrageous. which is done
to prevent worse, more arbitrary and
more infamous deed.
But if Mr.. Lincoln has overstepped
law or acted without authority of law un-
necessarily, then nothing that you or
or the Democracy of Iowa can say, can
avert from him terrible responsibility
and Just retrbution. Nor will the De-
mocracy become responsible for his acts
by declining to condemn him in 'ad-
vance, or refusing to make war upon
him while he and his Administration
are passing through an ordeal of life.
Instead thereof, by assuming their old
accustomed place under the banner of
their country, in the field or at home,
its anxious and Jealous friends, as they
have ever been. they will show that pat
riotsm is the real aud substantial basis
of their political principles.
In relation to the State Convention
called for the 10th of July next, l trust
that the committee will suppress the call.
and issue another for day about the
first of September. Should not this wish.
in which am confident majority OF
Democrats agree, then it will remain for
the true Democracy Of the center of the
State to see that the Convention is no,
misdirected or perverted to improper
uses. Des Moines is the proper place
for holding the next Convention, in view
of the past action of the party, but if the
present call be persisted in, few coun-
ties will be represented.
Yours, most respectfully

TuREE YEARS ENLrsrMENrs. - The
Chicago Journal says the impression
that troops enlisting under the second
call for three years must serve the three
years, war or no war. is n mistake. The
enlistment will be for three years, an
less sooner discharged" which means un-
less the war is ended. and they are no
longer needed The Government has as
little desire TO retain large body of
men on pay when there is no service for
them 10 do, as the men have to be re-
ta;ned, and those who go for three years
may feel perfectly sure that whenever
the war is over their service is over. il

Army Worm...Extent Of its Ravages.
From Emerv's Prairie Farmer June IA

Army Worm--.Extent of its Ravages.
From Emery's Prairie Farmer, June l3
Frightful indeed are becoming the
ravages of this insect pest amongst the
growing crops of Illinois. The cool
weather of the past month has been very
favorable to their multiplication and
growth, and they are now sweeping with
all the destructiveness of prairie fire
over the fairest and most promising por-
tions of our State. Meadows and pas
lures, wheat, oats, rye and corn fields,
gardens, yards, trees and shrubbery, in
fact every green thing. is disappearing
before them. In many localities it is
thought that the wheat crop is so far ad-
vanced that the stripping of the leaves
alone will not materially injure it. In
many instances corn can be replanted,
and the second crop probably will escape
them. But if their ravages should be
stopped to-day, the loss already occasion
ed by them could only be estimated by
millions of dollars.
From exchanges, and from our own
correspondents, we learn that their sad
work Is being prosecuted to greater or
less extent over the following territories
With slight comparative damage in Nc.
Donough county, commencing with
Adams county on the west, we trace
them eastward through Cass, Sangamon,
Plat, Champaign and the lower part of
Vermillion counties. They do not, so
far as we have heard, yet work to any
great extent north of this line South
from Adams, down the Mississippi, they
take Pike, Calhoun, Madison, ST. Clair,
and jackson of this line, and
south from the other, their number seems
lnnumerable in Coles, Clark, bingham,
Cumberland and Christian counties -
There are several of the interior counties
Of Southern Illinois that we have no re-
ports from, and the same may be said of
the extreme southwestern portion of the
State. We have little doubt, however,
though we hope it may not be true, that
their destructive presence is being felt in
all the State below latitude 40 deg. 90
min.
On the Missouri side. they are report
ed in Boon, Howard and Pike counties
The northern portion of Kentucky, and
the southern portion of Indiana, are also
being overrun with them.
Ditching, dragging logs over them,
and turning hogs in upon them are the
expedients being tried to effect their de-
struction, but to little purpose. In ex-
treme cases, meadows have been burned
over to stay their progress, but they are
still marching on, spreading desolation
in their pathway. Ii is fortunate they
appear SO seldom-it is peculiarly uufor-
tunate they are to scourge US this year.

She hugs the peace that gives her gold
The shameful peace, that sees expire
Each beacon-light of patriot fire,
And makes her court a traitors dem
Forgive me this, my Countrymen
Oh, in your long forbearance grand,
Slow to suspect the treason planned,
Enduring wrong, yet hoping good
For sake of olden broth erhood,
How grand, how sublimer far
AT the reused Eagles call We are,
Lnaping from slumber to the fight
For Freedom and for Chartered Right
Throughout the land there goes cry;
A sudden splendor fills the sky;
From every hill the banners burst,
Like buds by April breezes hurst;
In every hamlet, home, and mart
The fire. beat of single heart
Keeps to strains whose pulses mix
Our blood with that of Seventysix.
The shot whereby the old flag fell
From Sumter's battered citadel
Struck down the lines of party creed
And made We One in soul and deed
One mighty People, stern and strong
To crush the consummated wrong;
Indignant with the wrath whose rod
Smitten as the awful sword of God
The cup is full They thought We blind
The props of State they undermined
Abused your trust. your strength defied,
Ard stained the Nations name of pride.
Now lift to Heaven your loyal brows,
Swear once again your fathers vows,
And cut through traitor hearts track
To nobler fame and freedom back
Draw forth your million blades as one;
Complete the battle then begun.
God fights with We, and overhead
Floats the dear banner of your dead.
They. and the glories of the Past,
The Future. dawning dim and vast,
And all the hottest hopes of Man,
Are beanling triumps in your van!
Slow to resolve, but swift to do
Teach ye the False how fight the True!
How bucklered Perfdy shall feel
In her black heart the Patriots steel
How sure the bolt that Justice wings
How weak the arm a traitor brings;
How mighty they, who steadfast stand
For Freedoms Flag and Freedoms Land
