New ELEvAToR.-We are glad to learn
that one of our most enterprising Ware
house firms is about commencing IA new e.
evator on the North Branch, to be used main
ly, we believe, for receiving grain which
comes in over the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad. 1t will be of the largest size, and
built in the most substantial manner, and
will be completed at an early day. 1t will
be furnished with ten Of Fairbanks five
hundred bushel Hopper Scales, each one of
which, so perfect will be the machinery, can
be loaded to its full capacity and the load
discharged in a few minutes. This shows
the immense amount of grain which can be
handled in this Elevator, and is a sufficient
guaranty to farmers de- well as receivers and
shippers, that correct weights will be given.

cided improvement on the name.

war will be transferred to Arkansas. This
change has been brought about by the mere
demonstration Of force which our regiments
and batteries have made. There are not less
than GO, 900 Federal troops in Missouri at this
time; the rebels have retired at the approach
of their shadows. "A pitched battle may be

Good for BlackhaWK.

AS a sample of how the people refuse to
be sold out by their Politicians, we point
With pride to Black hawk county. There the
Republican leaders including both the news
papers, united in this Unibn movement for
county officers, but the rank and file refused
to stand the sell out and nominated straight
out Republican ticket Of their own. With
out an organ in the county, they went be-
fore the people, and the result is, as we see
by the Waterloo Courier they have Carried
their whole ticket with one exception. Good
We say for the honest yeomanry. They can
see good deal further through mill stone
than political tricksters think and are very
apt to do things to suit thetnselves.-Linn
Connty Register.
The writer of the above is certainly free
to display his ignorance of Black Hawk coun-
ty politics. To those better informed than
he the item above viii appear in its true light,
viz: bit of senscless gable. In the first
place it was the people and not the politicians
who originated the Union movement in this
county. In the next place the straight Re-
publican ticket was put in nomination by
the politicians and that previous to call for
a Union Convention. The Republican tick
ct was nominated on Thursday the 9th of
September, and the Peoples Union ticket on
Saturday the 2lst Of September, which gave
the friends of the former nearly five weeks
for canvassing and the friends Of the latter
triHe over two weeks. Under these cir
cunstances we think the Union ticket done
we'll to elect a Treasurer and Recorder and
only allow the opponent for Representative
a majority Of eletsa, in county where KIRK
wooD received majority of eight hundred
and twenty votes. We have no hesitancy in
saying that had the claims of the Union tick
ct been fully presented to the people of the
county previous to election day it would have
been elected entire by an overwhelming ma
jority. Talk about honesty, political trick
sters, etc, when you cannot forget party for
a single moment even in the choosing of
county officers, and even in such times as
these.

81 say, when the standard of the Union is
raised and waves over my head-the stand
ard which WAsniNGToN planted on the FAM
parts of the Constitution, God forbid that
should inquire whom the people have COM
missoned to unfurl it and bear it up; only
ask in what manner, as an humble individ-
ual, can best discharge my duty in defend
ing it.--Daniel Webster.
This was Daniel Webster's position, and
the same would be his to-day were he on
earth. 1t is the position of all patriots. He
who is not for the Union, is against the IN
ion. There can be no halfway, no middle
ground. It is as much the duty of Demo-
Gratis to give the present Administration their
support as it for Republicans. To do this
politics, of course, must for the time being be
laid aside. All patriots, no matter what their
politics may be, will unite, when the Union
is threatened with destruction, to prevent
such causality. Party should be made
subordinate to Government, not Government
subordinate to party. To crush this rebel
lion is all the work we now have on hand.

Sickness and death, the result of severe en-

tion met on the 28th inst and is now in session.
The Legislature, in extraordinary session, has

The Convention was organized by electing 0. NJ.

President by acclamaton
On Yesterday the following resolution was intro
duced in the Convention by John A. Wharton, of
BrazOria county:
Resozued, That without determining now the
manner in which this result shall be etected, it is
the deliberate sense of this Convention that the
State of Texas should separately secede from the

This resolution was introduced for the simple
purpose of testing the sentiment of the Convention.

The vote of the two Houses of the Legislature,
taken in connection with the vote of the ConVen-

At O'Clock this morning fire burst forth from
the wareroom of the looking glass and picture
store, almost opposite this office, and for some time
gave evidence Of destroying the inner part of the
square from Camp to st. Charles streets. The
back portions of the Academy of Music, Phoenix
CofIeehouse, Armory Hall, Raymond's grocery,
Prats' cigar store and Crescent Insurance office,
were all in immediate proximity and danger, but
we believe escaped with slight, if any injury The
usual promptness and energy of the fremen pre-.
