Gentlemen Of the Senate and House o
Representatives

Gentlemen Of the Senate and House q
Representatives.:
Since the commencement Of your ses-
sion | have been engaged as fully as my
other duties would permit in collecting
and comparing information from various
parts of our exposed frontier, as to what
is necessary for the protection OF that
portion of our State, and IN making es-
;imates Of the sums necessary, IN my
oniniop. for that and other purposes CON
nected with the present and possibly flu
turc emergency. The pressing need up
on our border is for arms aud amnuni-
ton. The people are willing and conf
dent Of their ability to defend themselves
against what they most fear, the dcpre-
dations of Indians and plunderers, pro-
viding they are furnished with good arms
and ammunition, ard until this is done,
they will b in state Of great uneasi-
ness and alarm to a greater or less de.
gree, as the various localities are more or
less exposed / consider it matter of
primary importance that your action on
| this matter be as speedy as may, in your
judgment, be consistent with proper de-
| liberation I would have sent an agent
to tind and contract for arms for this
purpose in anticipation of your action,
but for the fact that tie provisions Of
the bill for that purpose, pending before
! yon require that aaid agent shall be
nominated to and confirmed by the Sen
ate. The appointment by me Of an agent
for that purpose, and the sending OF him
on his mission in advance of the passage
Of the law under these circumstances
would have been improper and highly
censurable.
l fear that the present great demand
for arms by the United States and the
different States will cause considerable
aelay in procuring arms after have the
authority to act, and | therefore again
respectfully recommend that your action
on this subject be as speedy as possible
| am decidedly of opinion, that IN view
of our present condition, and the uncer-
tainty of the future, it is highly deJra-
bic, with reference both to our duty to
State and to the General Government,
that you make provision for the organi-
cation, encampment, and drilling, for a
limited time, of not less than three skel-
eton regiments, at the expense Of the
State. With liberal provision for the
purchase Of arms and ammunition for
mounted men for the defence OF the bor'
der, and provision for three regiments
for a limited time at the expense OF the
State, | think Iowa will be placed 10 =
position consistent alike with her honor
and safety.
But to do this, and at the same time
make prudent provision for the uncer-
tain future, will, in my Judgment, re.

FrOn Washington.
WASHINGTON, May "a

WASHINGTON, May III AN.
The New York Zouaves, 14th and
Goth and the New Jersey regiments hold
Alexandria, while Arlington Heights are
occupied by several regiments.
The entrance into Alexandria was at.
tended by an event which has cast the
deepest gloom over this community.
Col Ellsworth, who had hauled down the
secession flag from the Marshall House,
was soon afterwards shot by concealed
foe. His dead body has been brought to
the Washington navy, yard.
Accounts from Alexandria are some
what contradictory, but there is no doubt
of the fact that man named Jackson,
who shot Col. Ellsworth, was instantly
put to death-some say bullet and bayo
net.
10 A. Mt is ported that as the
Virginia troops retired from Alexandria,
that one of them was killed by return
shot from the Federal forces. There is
a prospect Of capturing the fugitives.-
Among the forces sent over were two
batteries and two companies of artillery.
The news of the death of Col. Ellsworth
was not known throughout Washington
until towards 10 o'clock to-day. The
excitement was intense, especially among
the military, who expressed the greatest
impatieuce and desire to be sent over to
Virginia. From glass view of Al
exandria the stars and stripes are flying
from various points
The Government is in possession of
startling information from Baltimore,
and that certain prominent pretended
Union men, who, in the presence of Uni
ted States troops, loudly protested devo.
ton to the Union, are secretly working
for secession. The names and accurate
information about them and their plans,
are in the hands of the Administration.
About 10000 troops have crossed the
Potomac, and are now in Virginia.
The New York 18th regiment are hold
ing Arlington Heights, and the Goth are
throwing up breastworks there.
The Rich ond Examiner says General
Johnson, commander of the Utah expe-
lton, has been ordered to the command
If the confederate forces at Harper's
Ferry. Also, that Beauregard has been
ordered TO Norfolk and that jeff. Davis
will be at Richmond Monday next.
Passengers from Parkersburgh confirm
accounts of the presence of Virginia
roops at Grafton and reinforcements at
Niliamsport. Four more cannon were

GOV. KIRkWOOD.

1t is far from pleasant to censure those
whom We esteem, and it is in that cate
CORY that We place Gov. Kirkwood. We
can make great allowance for the cmbar-
RAISING circumstances BY which he has
been surrounded, but we can imagine no
excuse for his conduct toward the Tip
ton Guards. When Capt. Hammond saw
the Governor at Davenport, and tender
ed the services of the Guards, he was
told by the Governor, that the Guards
were the goth Company whose services
had been offered, aud that they should
be in the third regiment, when it should
be called. Afterwards, at Iowa City, the
Governor told Capt. Childs and Sergeant
Dean the same thing; and yet, after all
this, the third regiment has been called
and filed, and the Upton Guards have
been left out. Capt. Childs aud Lieut..
Taylor returned last Monday night from
visit to Dcs Moines, whittier they had
gone to procure place for the Guards, if
possible, and they inform US that the on.
ly excuse the Governor offered, was that
he had to take some companies from the
North, and it would not do to take so
many from this portion of the State.
Why, then, were three companies taken
from Davenport, two fron Muscatine,
and two from Iowa City! We are in.
clined to believe that the Governor has
been too anxious to please all, and has
not pursued firm and straightforward
course. We believe, also, that his first
mistake-and great one it was - was,
that he did not, from the first, call to hi
aid an efficient military man, and let Gen
Bowen recline in the bosom of his fami
ly, which is his appropriate sphere.
We do not believe that Gov. Kirkxood
intended any wrong, but, as at present
advised, he has not shown that admins
trative ability which We thought no pos.
sessed. He is not the man for the times
We understand that other companies
have been treated even worse than the
Guards, and that manifest partially has
been shown. We hope the matter will
be investigated, and the facts made
known.

The probability is that no further ad-
vance movement will be made soon by
either party. No Virginians are allowed
to enter Alexandria unless known to be
loyal. Several persons have been arrest
ed for using reasonable language.
Mr.. Douglas is again better aud hopes
are entertained of his recovery.
The rebel commissioners meet with no

Reg As an offset to the miserable at
tempts of our own and other so-called
Democratic newspapers, to make out that
Democrats only are willing to fight the
battles Of our country, We give the fol-
lowing from the Des Moines correspond
ent Of the Muscatine Journal:
"The bill to prevent rendering aid to
rebels met a fierce opposition from the
Democratic side of the House. Their
loyalty to their country was grossly in
suited. Claggett, Williams, of Dubuque,
and LeLachcur, of Delaware, led off
Clasgett declared it an imputation that
there were traitors in Iowa; he didn't
believe there were any; if there was any
he was IN favor of hanging them. VIII
liams, Of Dubuque, offered an amendment
making it hig d misdemeanor to run of
fugitive slaves. LeLacheur wanted Phil
lips, Garrison, Beecher and Greeley hung
first. Baker, Of Clinton, who, by the
vay, is one Of the most influential, as
well as one of the most patriotic and lib
eral members of the General Assembly,
defended the bill. Party lines are far
from being obliterated. No Republican
member has whispered politics in either
House. They have gone to work to
place Iowa right in this conflict, to do
the work necessary to be done as speedl-
ly as possible They generously conced-
ed to the Democrats share Of the Offices,
hoping for unity and promptness in the
action Of the Legislature but at the
very threshold they met opposition. -
Several Democratic members have de-
clared their unwillingness to vote one
dollar; yet they know that the people
demand liberality. They proposed that
the amount appropriated should not ex-
ceed 5000, 900, when they know from
data furnished by the Governor that over
$1,000 had already been expended

~ The Democrat can't see any diff

me very cl .ar that to leave me with all

a squad of his men to take possession Of

Upon the arrival of the frigate Missis-

SCrOfula, or Kings Evil.

Is n constitutional disease, Il corruption of tbo
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pcrvadcs the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scroiulous tuint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and iilthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncrcal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
slitution, descending " from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulCCrous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubclclcs; III the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, CrupUOns or sores. This foul cor
ruptom, which geudcrs in the blood, dcprcsscs
the energies of life, so that scroiuloils constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrolulous conf
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; consc-
qucnty vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrolulou3 in their nature,
are still rendered fatal 10y this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
IN this scrotulouS contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated Ivy the Same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrorulous;
heir persons are invaded by tda lurking IN
fiction and their health is undermined by it.
10 cleanse il from the system we must rcnovatc
the blood by m Alternative medicine, and in-
igorate it Nv healthy food and exercise.
such y medicine we supply in
