''OMINous. Under this caption the Bos-
ton Daily Adcerfiser, of April 18th, 1882,
published an extract from Richmond paper,
which, after lapse of thirty years, possesses
a strange interest to the men Of this genera
ton. 1t seems prophetic, and is now almost
literally being fulfilled:
''The Richmond Whig publishes letter
from correspondent in Goochland county,
who relates curious circumstance of negro
boy, who saw two bald headed eagles fighting
fiercely at great hight in the air, and de-
scend to the ground, so much engaged in the
conflict as to allow him to attack them, when
they rose second time and renewed the
fight, falling again with their talons inter-
locked in each others flesh, when Cuffee step
ped between them second time, taking them
for wild geese, and wrung their heads off,
The correspondent continues:
"The fact is incontestable, and, if doubted,
can be proved by the evidence of at least fifty
persons. In these days of moralizing the
feat has been considered ominous of the fate
of the proud Republic of which this noble
bird is the emblem. The battle in the air is
the strife destined to take place between the
two great sections of the Union Cuffee rep
resents his own ebony race, slipping in upon

wringing the necks of both What think
you, gentlemen? and what would an old
Roman have thought? 1t is surprising how
many persons drew the same augury, who had
no opportunity Of communicating with each
other" ~ q -

Who can estimate the weight Of RESPONSE
bility which hangs upon the souls of those
wicked and evil-guided men, who, by years Of
toll and labor, brought upon the country this
bloody war? Time can never develop or cure
the evils which already have been inflicted
by their demon-like agency. sd '9ri
Upon the South the ruin is incalculable.- =
One hundred thousand brave men have either
died. or their constitutions are broken down
or they are MANNED, rendering them . burden
to themselves and to society. The loss ir
property cannot now be estimated. And
where is the ruin to end? From the North
there is nothing to hope - from Europe We
can look for no sympathy. Nothing, perhaps
could crafty English statesmen more thar

The Gray.beard Regiment.

Inc ~TstysOCttEu AACSS AMAOAGs
The idea of forming regiment in Iowa of
those who by law were exempt from military
duty, originated, we believe, with Col. Kin.
caid, of Muscatine. The Governor and Adju-
tant General Baker cordially entered into the
plan and did all in their power to insure its
success To the unremitting efforts of Col
Kincaid, however, the State is chiefly indebt-
ed for the testimonial of the patriotism o
Iowa which this noble band of Cromwellian
heroes presents to the friends of freedom and
the Union. The members of this regiment
are now anxious to be sent where their ser
vices will be of positive benefit to the gov.
ernment, and though enlisted for garrison
duty, do not want to be located where there
is no danger of an enemy's appearance
They are very desirous therefore that the reg
ilnent shall be ordered to Washington, there
to relieve younger force who can better take
the field, and there to face the foe, should the
threatened visit of Longstreet and Lee be
made. A member Of the regiment has sent
us letter urging this matter upon our atten
ton, and later communication from another
member presents the same subject to the
consideration of the State authorities. We
hope the Governor will be able to procure
from the Secretary of War, the needed orde,
for the Gray boards to go to Washington
The last mentioned letter is dated at Camp
Strong, Muscatine, Nov. 9Th, and says:
We now. number nine hundred men, being
within fraction of the number necessary to
organize. This camp is very bleak, not {
tree to break the force of the western winds
but we have prospect Of being ready t
leave this Juan Fernando Island before Jack
Frost arrives in force. We have petitioned t.
be sent to Washington, and think the time. il
favorable for the representatives from the
rolling prairies Of Iowa to get the ear Of oul
rulers. Our men are in earnest; we hav
drawn the sword in a great cause, and will no
return to our homes until we can do SO il
peace and safety under the banner Of hbert.

~ 1t is significant fact that the very
Congressional District (the 4th) which our
last Legislature botched the worst, in an en-
deavor to secure a Republican majority, is
the only one in which the anti-Administra
tionists carry their ticket. We warned our
friends in the Legislature against the 9 gerry
Wandering" system before it was adopted. '
If fair and natural plan of ,apportioning
the State had been adopted, the result of the
late election could not have been worse than
it is, and most likely not so bad. "Honesty
is the best policy" both for individuals and
for parties. The party which attempts to re.
tain power by unfair means must expect to be
rebuked, and sooner, or later lose all power
We hope in future no such measures as last
winters apportionment bill will receive the
sanction Of Republican Legislature. ,le9

ILLINOIS. = The Chicago Tribune admit

ILLINOIS. = The Chicago Tribune admits
that James G. Allen is elected as representa-
tive in Congress for the State at large, by not
less than $4,000 majority. 1t says: 1--WE
believe there is a majority of $4,000 in the
Illinois regiments, to-day, for Mr.. Ingersoll
and the principles which he represented in
the election. Yet if the vote which has been
cast shall arouse the Administration from the
torpor which benumbs it, and through it the
army and the nation, we shall not regret the
seemingly adverse result. The vote of Illinois
is vote of dissatisfaction with the conduct of
the war. 1t is demand for change-a
pretty emphatic demand too Let it be
needed"
The delegation in the next Congress from
Illinois will be five Republicans and nine
Democrats. The Democrats have carried
both branches of the Legislature. They have
fifteen members of the Senate, "a majority of
five,) and probably fi(ty-one members of the
House Ga majority of seventeen.) They will,
therefore, elect United States Senator to
serve the unexpired term of Senator Douglas
that is until the 4th of March, 1865.

Large Number of Rebel Prisoners to

SNOW STORM AT BOSTON.

New YORK, Nov. g.
| The Times has the following:
dispatch of the gravest importance
which may effect a change in the whole
aspect of the war, was to-day submitted by
the French Legation to the Secretary Of
State.
Gen. Halleck expresses the belief that a
foreign war, necessitatng levy en-mdsse Of
or whole population, would not be an evil
without large compensating benefits. He ex-
presses the belief, also that the North has not
begun to develope its possible resources.
An informal meeting Of the Cabinet was
held to. day, and adjourned to this evening,
when it assembled at o'clock. Gen. Hal.
leck was present by special invitation of the
President.
1t is believed that decisions Of more ulti-
mate importance than any yet ma 1e in the
course of the war have been arrived at, and
will be announced before the end of the week.
The air is pregnant with rumors of military
and Cabinet changes. Military changes are
positive; and it is believed that certain Cabi-
net Ministers regard these changes as a con-
demnAt:on giving them no alternative but to
resign.
1t is not believed that any capital punish
ment will be visited upon the hostile Indians
in the Northwest, the policy of the Govern
ment being averse to such treatment, since
they have given themselves up. 1t is the
mission of Assistant Secretary Usher, now in
Minnesota, to adjust these difficulties, avoid
ing as far as possible all collision with the
State government.

RUINED PLANTATIONS IN LOUISIANA. = A
correspondent of the Boston Trareler, who
accompanied flag of truce to rebel camp
eighty miles from New Orleans, few weeks
since, says:
We passed large groves of oranges, ripe,
and soon to decay for want of labor to pluck
them; large plantations deserted, and the i'm
mense crops of sugar and corn destined to the
same fate, and for the same cause. The
scene was dismal in the extreme and should
be witnessed by those Northern men who,
ignorant of war and its ravages, complain of
it so bitterly because they are called upon for
increased taxes.
At noon we stopped at the plantation of
Mr.. Webb, and asked of the old black woman
who thrust her head out Of a window at our
approach, for food for man and beast. She
called a small boy, who pointed out to us a
spot where our horses might get mouthful,
and then conducted us into the house where
sumptuous repast awaited us of cracked
corn and little molasses. Fortunately our
haversacks were better stocked, and after
making the old woman's heart glad by pres
ent of some "four and Bread" we set out
once more.
