Governor kirkwood is, without

to save the State financially as far as
possible. The unanimity with which
he was rc-nominated, shows that he
has the confidence of his party, and
the election will show that he has the
entire confidence of the people of the

his economical intentions the subject

Samuel J. kirkwood, the candidate

high moral character, and of exalted
patriotism. TO his indefatigabl cx-
crtions is our State indebted for the
promptness with which every call of
the President for troops has been re-

popularity, he has discharged every
duty to the State in q manner which
should meet with the most unboundcd
approval and endorsement.
John r. Needham, the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor, is gentleman
of the strictcst integrity, well educat-
cd, and peculiarly fitted for the posi-
ton for which he has been nominated.
He has been for two terms a member
of the State Senate, in which capacity
he distinguished himself for his
promptness in debate, his ready
knowledge of parliamentary tactics,
and his able advocacy OF every meas
IRE calculated to advance the inter
ests of our then young and growing
State.

mated for Judge of the Supreme Court,
is at this time the Chief Justice OF
that high judicial tribunal He was
the predecessor of Mr. Kirkwood as
Governor of Iowa, and at the end Of
his term was elected to the Supreme
Bench, and became the Chief Justice

Army Correspondence.

August 10, 1861.
Mr.. Editor--For the present we are
cncampcd between Ironton on the
North and Arcadia on the South, two
pleasant little villages situated about
a mile from each other, and two and
three miles respectively from Pilot
Knob mountain. Besides our regi-
mcnt we have eight or nine others here
from the States~of Iowa, Illinois Mis-
souri, and Nebraska, so that our whole
farce at present amounts to about
10000 men, all under command Of
Gen. Prentiss, lately in command at
Cairo. This force is being daily in
creased, and in short time will am.
cunt to 10000 men. Gen. Prcntiss is
only waiting to have his command
well fitted out, and supplied with suf-
ficicnt cavalry and artillery, so that
he may move on in good fighting or.
der to the great work of Kidding Mis-.
souri, of the Arkansas and Tennessee
invaders who now swarm upon tho
Southern border
Since writing the foregoing I may
add that four regiments have reached
our camp within the last twenty-fou
hours, and Gen. Fremont is aiming t.
render the column which shall marcl
from here so strong that it will not bt
necessary, as at Springfield, to whiI
the enemy more than once on thu
same ground, but that it shall SWEEP
all treason before it, without any ret
rograde movement,) between her,
and the Gulf Everybody in this De
partment agrees that the fight a
| Springfield was cruel waste of val
liable lives and sacrifice of the no
bic Lyon. Gen. Fremont seems L
have laid the lesson to heart, for Ia
has SO strengthened Gen. Sigel in tn
Southwest, and is SO reinforcing GU
post, that we regard a defeat or fruit
less victory as impossible to the Fed
cral arms in this State. II.
