upon me for the present hour far exceed yours,
but will not entirely neglect the Hawk-Eye,
and its 4, 900 subscribers. As about 10 minutes
now present themselves, here goes.
The lst Iowa Regiment arrived at this place,
Boonville, this morning about o'clock, after
very fatiguing march over the country from Re.
nick, distance forty miles-roads awful, rough
and hilly-the country almost destitute Of wa
ter. But with all this, to say nothing of the
very hot weather, the boys stood up without
murmur, and were always ready to make chase
when secession force showed itself. We drove
them before US like sheep, when the leaders

they never raised either sufficient to make an
attack, 80 we passed along unframed, and this
morning made the waters of big Muddy" safe

The Slaves Wide AVake..An Important
Statement from Colonel FOrney.


Colonel Forney writes from Washington to
the Philadelphia Press
| am not of those who desire to see the
property of our Southern people interfered with.
l would unutterably deplore the horrors of a
servile insurrecton. But, as faithful historian
Of the times, it is well that should say that
those who have taken the full responsibility Of
resisting the Federal authority, and Of pro-
scribng all who are found in defence of the
American flag, should appreciate the dangers
that are rapidly surrounding them, so that when
the tempest is let loose they may not prove to
be wholly unprepared. Is it possible that
war which starts out with a declaration against
free principles, which denounces the people of
the free States as ignorant, vulgar, brutal and
inferior, and which, through its numerous agen
ces, does not hesitate to anticipate the estab-
lishment of a monarchy, shall not awaken all
those Numbering aspirations in the breast of
the cslored race for freedom, which Southern
statesmen have really always secretly fearedg
May not. in other worts this race be compelled
to take some steps OF precaution for their own
protection, when they see the war that is waged
without mercy upon the whites?

largely into the present and the future of our
country. We cannot ignore them If We would. |

H The Court House at Oquawka was struck
by lightning during the heavy storm on Thurs.
day morning. The fluid passed down the flag
staff and set the building ON fire. The tin COW

spreading, but the shock was severe, tearing off
the cornice on the west side and marking the
building from top to bottom.

A TRUE MANA Mr.. Goode was elected Col.

gressional District, but the Government, on
some representations, thought it better to ap.
point Captain Grant, late an army officer To
the credit of Mr.. Goode he submitted with pa
triotic devotion, and taking off his uniform he
quietly stepped to the ranks and took his place
as private. There are a few others who should
be promptly removed and to whom, in that con-
tingency we commend this example

ment must be preserved Eat all hazards

We knew intultively, that the noble
patriot would stand by his country, its
flag and It's honor. We knew the SEN
timents that Lave ever animated his
honest heart. We have drank in his
patriotic teachings in public aud in pri-
vate, and have never heard him utter a
sentiment in conflict with the prosperity
and unity Of his country. But while
the friends of Mr.. Douglas koew their
noble chieftain would be on the side OF
his country, the authoritative announce.
ment of his position gives strength and
solidity to the Union column. His
voice will ronse thousands from apath y
aud add an intensity to the enthusiasm
Ter the Union, which will be ire sistible

but one purpose-the preservation Of
the government = will animate the

In the excitement of the hour it is
possible to forget what is due TO our.
selves and the liberal Government under
which they live. We read already Of
several threatening demonstrations made
against persons aud presses who still
blindly lean to the South, but We trust
that nothing will be done to cause US to
blush or our enemies to triumph. We
should dep.ecate violence above all
things. Freedom Of opinion is one Of
our proudest privileges. To oppose it
by brute force is unworthy of Northern
men. Let discussion be free, and soon.
We trust, not one will be left wanting IN
patriotism as to oppose BY word or deed
an endeavOr to save the Union. Should
this fail, however, it will then be neces-
sary to define very clearly, and posit-
lively in what treason consists, and ap-
ply the Law without delay to all who
shall countsnance secession and ito At
tendant crimes. An appeal to the
majesty of law, and not passionate i'm.
pulse. will favorably distinguish Us from
those who have created our trouble.
Burlington Ha,okeye.
We commend these sentiments to
the inconsiderate partisans here who are
using so favorable an opportunity to
create enmity among their fellow citi-
