A letter from CToson written on Saturday
laai, oon6rms the reports in regard to the
Sghs on Thursday night between the Gansoa
Guards and the rebels. Some twenty Iisn-
~ county men, Who had heen With Colonel
Moore, paseo cd over The battle field the Dss'
morni, 4, on their return to CrotoD, and
found one dead rebel 10 the grass and three
mes graves.
II seems that the rebels were retroatinb
before Col. Moore, and on Thursday night
about 10 O'Clock, they c.me upon the Can
ton Guards, about 400 strong, who wers
marching to the aid of Moore. The frs,
notice the rebels got came 10 the shape OF q
three FOUNDER SHOT and volley OF musketry
from the Canton Guards. The Ere was re
turned without effect, and the rebel com
nander ordered his mrn TO unl,mher their
cannon, when then they found il Was disa
blej by shot from the three pounder.
They soon Aed IN dismay, leaving five dead
bodies, forty guns and rifles, AMI lot Of
bloody cape on the ground.
/, Was reported that the rebels lost ovel
6fey men. Many signs Of bloody work we're
found 10 the morning. Tho Canton Guard
did not think il advisable 60 follow 10 th'
night through the grass and bushes, but hal
they known the state OF the case they might
have turned the defeat into "a complete roa'
and capture.
Col. Moore has had 10 battle since leaving
Memphis, but from lack Of provisions ami
ammunition ~as compelled to return TO Wat
erloo, about IL miles from Athsns. He VA
there on Saturday, and sent over here fol

The uawkeye recommends Samuel r. Mil
Ter ~ our candidate for Congress, and sug
gests the prapf isty OF his taking the Geld BY
general consent without formal conveo-
tion.
We are disposed 10 second the suggestion
very cordially for many reasons which d. no,
REQUIRE any special elaboration. There 10
but brief period to elarse btfore the cleo
sion 1t bes,, aod with the present extent Of
the District il wonld hardly be possible to
eve due notice and hold COUNTY Conventions
to appoint delegates to the State Convention
anil leave any time for the oanvass after the
nomination. There is no question but that
Lee, Des Moinrs, and several other counties
ca,ting heavy vote, would prefer Mr.. Miller,
while the fact that the elect,on 10 TO ill =
vacsncy OF our fellow t~nrmsn, Col. Curtis,
would indicate the prsprie.y Of selecting the
candidate from this place. And, az matters
nov stand, Mr.. Milist's name would do very
much to strengthen our ticket In the vers 10
eslities where Il most needs to be strength
ened. But aside from these considerations,
re know OF no msu 10 the District 90 capable
10 every rearrst Of dischsre,rg the srduous
duties Of Representative in Congress 40
Samuel r. Miller, and none whc would have
il IN his power 30 do 20 mach to promote the
interests Of bic constituents and the welfare
Of the country.
Let the press and the people, then, unite
o. once and give the Geld to Mr.. Miller, and
he will make gallant contest, and BY bic
e'rquent appeals to bic coursrymen to rally

The Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday
morning contains quite full description of
the new elevator, now being built at the
terminus of the Milwaukee 4 Prairie du
Chen Railway by Angus Smith & Go. We
condense some Of the most important Stats
tics. The dimensions are s7x25 feet :;
height, including cupola, 1O4 feet; storage
capacity eight hundred thousand bushels
$50 cords Of stone are used in the founda-
ton, which rests upon 3,40O piles. Two
millions feet of lumber and 100000 BRICK
will be used in the building. There are to
be eight receiving and four shipping eleva-
tors; capacity of the former $4,000 bushels
per hour-of the latter, 10000 bushels.
Total weight Of shafting and other wrought
iron in the building, 1000 lbs. A con-
densing beam engine of 160 horse power is
calculated to do all the work of handling
the wheat. The erection of this leviathan
elevator will increase the storage capacity
for grain at the terminus of the Milwaukee
& Prairie du Chen Railway to 1900, 600
bushels, and therefore remove the possibili-
ty of blockade of wheat" in that quarter
next winter. 1t is creditable enterprise
for Angus Smith & Co., and reflects well
upon Milwaukee.

Rhode Island vice regent replies that the
question now is Government or no Gov
crnmcnt'- war is not begun to support
Lincoln or any other man but to sustain
the Constituted authorities of the Union in
their efforts to preserve it intact. She has
five relatives in the army and but one OF
them voted for Lincoln. The Boston
Post says "Gov. Sprague is the pet Of the
petticoats at Washington. lie is young,
handsome, sensible, rich, Of martial bearing
and very generous: We predict that BIZ
Sprague will Tea President yet; he ought
to be the idol of the ladies' and the pride Of
the men. A great many men are equally
as fine in every. respect but they have not
the money to show off to advantage.
The Mobile Register very coolly asks If the
Washington Government didn't want the
Flag at Sumpter fred at why didn't they
