And now that we are in the midst of Sc

Constitution is threatened with capture, be-

Of the rank and file Of our regular and vol
untcer forces requires no eulogium; In every
skirrnish or battle thus far they have proven
themselves worthy Of their revolutionary
sires. But the reverse we sustained at the
battle Of Bulls Run, by universal consent
is attributed to the cowardliness, rashness,
and incompetcncy Of our officers from Gen.
Mcdowell down to the rank of Majors and
Adiutants. There were individual cases
where field officers who had never seen ser.
vice, conducted themselves with heroism
and bravery, leading in the rally and cover

SHARPE's MAIL LINB-We observe that
Sharpe's Mail Line has been extended, and
daily trips are now made each way between
McGregor and DEBORAH. The line is well
stocked with horses and coaches, and we
are assured will make most excellent time.
Stages run in connection with the Railroad
trains each way, and at DEBORAH connect
with other stages running northward
through Burr Oak, Chatfield, and Roches-
ter to St. Paul, Minnesota,-westwa to
New Oregon, Vernon Springs, Howard

Within the past week the weather has
been pleasant al excellent compromise
between the heat and the cold. Linen is
comfortable at midday, but wooden gar

The market has suffered relapse, and
but 47@51 cents are now offered by our
produce dealers Even at this figure there
is tolerable good supply, though few bring
wheat who are not compelled thus to do.
The new wheat which has come into mar

RETURN OF THE Iowa FIRsr.-The Iowa
FIRST Regiment returned to Dubuque on
Friday last, and were greeted most enthu-

Their march from the Levce up Main street
to the Park is described by. the papers as
perfect ovation. After the boys had been
surfeited with all the dainties they could
eat, says the Times, the business of greeting
fairly began. Brigades Of fair women
charged upon the volunteers, and the SIM
pie pump handle movement OF shaking
hands would not do, there was a heartfelt
kiss and hug for all. This was more than
the boys expected but no more than they
deserved. They We're the brave fellows
whom General Lyon complimented with

The government has began very i'm.
portant work in supprcssing all the trsa.
sonablc organs Of the country, through le-
gal processes. OF course this calls out
prolonged howls from every sympathizer
with treason, and we hear great ado made
concerning the freedom of press. Now we
are not of that thin skinned order of NOR
tails who believe that the editor of a news
paper has any special immunities or liber-
ties over any other man. Whenever a
newspaper gives aid and comfort to rebels
by.opposing the government in every effort
to suppress treason, it valves all claim to in.
diligence at the hands of the government
and is amenable for its reasonable lutheran.

influence. An untrammeled press is the
safeguard Of liberty, but vicious, unprin.
cipled press is the right arm Of despotism,
and should be Topped off, Individuals as
men or as editors, have right guaranteed
them to the utterance or publication of
any sentiment not calculated to subvert the
law and the Constitution, but if they 90

punishment is BY fine or specified impris-

While favor prompt action on the
part OF the government in the cases speci.

growing prevalent in the eastern states of
suppressing papers by the rude lawlessness
OF mobs. The majesty of the law in such
times as these is the anchor of our hope.
We must correct all evils in the regularly
appointed way, and give the Executive dc.
partment of the government million men
if necessary to effect the desired objects
else the theory of American unity and the
popular system of government, is foreye,
lost.
