In noticing the statement that when
Gen Prices demand for surrender was
delivered to Col. Mulligan, the latter re-
sponded, "tell him to go to HE'LL" the
Chicago Post takes occasion to rescue the
fair name and reputation of Col NJ. from
this unjust imputation, by saying:
"There is no person in Chicago who
knows Col. Mulligan personally, that is
not satisfied that however appropriate and
usual such language may be to those who
for want of some other sensation, have
published it, he never employed it on the
occasion referred to- He is a gentleman
as well as soldier. Blackguardism and
vulgarity may in some minds be inseper-
able from gallantry, but while there are
few men Drawer or possessed of more fine
dashing, popular gallantry than the young
commander of the brigade, we doubt
whether he owes his reputation, or would
like to owe it, to the use of language not
appropriate to gentleman.

has simply given notice that he will resort
to drafting, but it will be some time be-

The Iowa Third,

The brilliant affair at Blue Mills is call
ing forth the most unbounded applause of
the public for rhe Third Regiment of
Iowa Volunteers. Indeed the Third Iowa
is on the highway to glorious immortal
ity, and is in fair way to eclipse the
First.
There is very singular parallel in the
antecedents and the action of the two
regiments. la the brilliant affairs il
which they were 80 much distinguished
their Colonies were absent, and CLIQUE
rested on their fame from the imputatiol
Of lack Of proper conduct and gallantry oil
previous occasions, attributable to thei
Colonies.
The Missouri Democrat alludes to tn
matter in reference to the Third in tn
following terms
The Third Iowa was engaged in tn
Shelbina fight, and have ever since bee
burning to efface the stigma cast on then
by this disgraceful affair. They have a
last had an opportunity they have SO anx
iously desired, and no one who reads tn
list Of killed and wounded will attribut
that disgrace to the officers who led, no
the men who fought with SO much drawer
and steadiness at Blue Mills.
We might relate particular instance
Of bravery on the part of the officers an
men, but where all fought so calamity an
steadily it might seem invidious to mel
tion individuals.

The following from the St. Louis Eve
ming News indicates that the matter is re-
ceiving attention in that locality, as it
must all over the country:
SHALL THE PROPERTY OF DEBTORS IN ST.
LOUIS BE SACRIFICED?
Mr.. EDITOR The Courts should all be
adjourned until 1861, or some other step
taken to prevent the ruin of every man
Of property who owes money. Recently a
farm near Carondolet, worth $50, 900, was
sold for $1,000 cash, and it is rather a
wonder that itbrought that sum, as proper
ty cannot be of any real value during the
continuance of the war The writer has
no property TO be affected by it, but ma
jority of worthy citizens have--property
which has been earned by hard, honest
labor--and they should not be robbed of
it by the Shy locks. r.
The question here asked is one of much
interest The war that SO suddenly and
materially deprecated the value of proper
ty found many persons owing debts which
they cannot pay, since the sources of in
come are dried up, and property which a
year ago, was worth four times as much
as its owners liabilities, will not now pay
half Of them.
1t seems cruel that the house and lot of
man who has drudgcd and toiled for
years to secure home for his family, and
has nearly paid for it, should be sold on,
and sacrificed at the suit of hardhearted
and relentless creditor.
Numerous instances could be cited in
which property, bought at high pricessev-
eral years ago, and upon which two or
three payments have been made, is sold
out under the operation of that harsh en-
g-ne of Shylocks and landsharks, DEEDS
OF Trust, for the last payment--the re-
lentless creditor thus getting back aiiil
the property and the first instalments paid
upon 1t.
The Deed of Trust system is grinding
and summary process, all of whose bene-
fits are in favor of the creditor class, and
all of whose crushing burdens fall upon
debtors. 1t ought not to be tolerated in
a Christian country, except with restric-
tions that would deprive it of its rugged
features for it is at this time impoverish-
ing thousands of deserving men, whose
only fault is that they could not anticipate
a prostration of business, In which their
resources would be cut off.

mate your bosom in this trying hour OF

A Pulpit Response 10 Fremont.


Rev. NJ. D. Conway, of Cincinnati, in
concluding his discourse on Sunday,
spoke as follows of the gallant Comman-
der of the West
"There rings through every mind here
to day that noblest word which the war
has vet elicited-the proclamation of the
gallant Commander of the West, who
has shown himself a Roman Curtius
brave and manly enough to leap straight
into the heart of this conflict. His steel
rang true upon the flint of rebellion, and
brou hit forth spark of true fire. Gcd
grant that It may flash through the land
and light the train of liberty that yet
sleeps unfred under the entertainments
of slavery
When this war is up to the standard
of John G. Fremont, the country will
be saved. Hitherto known as the daring
heart that first planted the Stars and
Stripes upon the highest peak of the
Rocky Mountains, henceforth the nobler
fame awaits Kim, of one who first placed
the standard on the highest summit of IL
berty and humanity that ranged within
bis possible authority. Years ;go, be-
fore his name was echoed through the
land, as one for the highest office in the
country, it was my privilege often to
touch that brave mans hand, and look
into his "miId aud magnificent eye"
and never did so without feeling that
there was power sheathed in that brain
and nerve which would one day be I'M
sheathed for his country, and lead the
van of honor like King Arthur's sword
Excaibur. that struck only for the right,
and whose stroke Deyer failed.
The nation cried for leader-a man !:
10, be is here !
He takes the step that Congress was
too timid to take openly. He pauses not
to ask, " viii this advance my chances
for the next Presidency ~ not "wAeth-
er if the country is restored, this step
will not make me an object Of special
odium to the South q He stops not to
consider if it may not bring the lurking
danger near to his heart. Nor does he
seek to shift the responsibility on others.
Upon the banner of the West his own
hand wrote the golden words in the eye
of the world: " Their sldves, # they
hare any, are hereJy declared free men"
That one sentence will do more TO
strike terror to the hearts of our enc
mics, to strengthen us at home, to gain
honor abroad, than all that has been
done at Washington for thirty years.
Henceforth the genius of America
adopts Fremont as her darling hero.

Daniels Dichinsom's Platform

The Binghamton Democra@ publishes
the following platform, understood to be
from the pen of Hon. Daniel S. Dickiu-
son
lst. We are for maintaining the gov
ton, SO long as there is loyal citizen,
North or South, to battle with rebellion,
or dollar to furnish the sinews Of war.
ID. We are opposed to the war, and
would therefore crush, by the whole
power Of the nation those who COM
nenced it by robbery and treason, and
cannonading Fort Sumter.
Sd. We are in favor peace, and there
fore ask it in the only direction which
will give honorable and enduring peace,
and therefore ask it in the only direction
which will give honorable and enduring
peace-by putting down armed rebel
lion, so that the Union-loving citizens OF
the South can support the Constitution
and the Union Of their fathers, without
a revolver to their ears or bowie-knife
to their threats to force them into rebel
lion.
4th. We are opposed to taxation, and
would therefore make the war as short
as possible, by exerting the whole force
of the nations energies, SO as at the ear
lest moment to qCelI rebellion effectualIy,
and perpetual war and taxation hereaf-
ter.
5th. We are opposed to all paIistions
and propositions Of peace or compromise
until rebellion is silenccd, and its flag,
stepped in theft, treason, piracy, arson,
rebellion and murder, is torn down and
destroyed. until the Stars and Stripes
float over every State capital and fortress
in the Union.
9th. When the roar of rebel artillery
is silenced and the supremacy of the
Constitution is acknowledged, we are, as
we ever have been, for guarding with
sedu!ons care every right which it guar
antees in every section of the Union, and
for strengthening the ties of brotherhood
sundered by set of graceless political
understanding against the wishes and
the will of the masses of the Southern
people.
