TheliSt is opened with a quotation from
Garrison, and closed with one from Lincoln,
name at which the hatred Of the Mercury
seems to reach its climax. Garrison is in.
PRODUCED to i,jure Lincoln, and not Lincoln
to iniurc Garrison. Is this the way to sus,
tain the Executive of the Government in a
deadly struggle with treaAop9
But perhaps we should be gratified, If not
grateful, that the Mercury has given US
quotation from Mr.. Lincoln that so "clear-
ly defines" and so concisely presents tire
exact source Of the difficulty now in the
country. On the Nth Of June 1853" he
says: I'VE are now far into the .tfth year
since policy was initmte1 with the avowed
object, and confident promise, Of puttinelan
end to the Slavery agitation" No one can
fai! to see that he refers to the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise in 1854, and thus
tacitly indorses all the Presidents previous to
that date, concerning whose patriotism the
Mercury has doubtless felt it necessary to
make an ostentatious display. The Ner-
curry will then understand that its patriotic
request ito look over these periods has
been complied with. =. re r.

Mr.. vallandigham said an allusion had
been made in the Senate recently, to Dem

words:

termined oadhere to its ancient principles,

EDITOR HAwK-EYE:
The House Yesterday, passed the Senate
Estrny bill, which provides that notices of
estrays shall have one publication in the
county paper, and two publications in the
Homestead" the Agricultural paper pub.
lishcd here. A copy of the estray sheet
shall be sent to every county in the State
so that each county know about the estrays
in every part of the State. The arrange
ment NAV be of some pr ,ctical benefit, but
it will be in opposition to this matter in 9TH
er States if it does. 1t is, however, par
eel Of that system which the Assembly oil
this State seem determined to adopt, Of cut
ting everything, as far as possible. that
gives any support to the county papers.
The Senate passed the House Railroad
bill yesterday with some notifications
Another was also passed requiring officers Of
Railroad Companies to reside within the
State. This bill is modification of the one
introduced by your excellent Senator, Mr..
Foote, in the early part of the session. And
I take pleasure here in bearing testimony to
the ability and influence of Mr.. Foote. As
member of the Senate Railroad Committee
he has been instrumental in securing legis.
lation which, while not oppressive to the
Railroads, is absolutely necessary in order
to protect the people Of the State. He oc-
cupies very honorable and infuentiol po-
sition in the Senate, as one of its most prac-
teal, c!ear-h .aded and useful members.
The Senate is nnch behind in legislation,
and it will be almost impossible for them to
take action upon all the matters before them.
The House has gone through with nearly
all its work and will! have to wait on the
Senate, unless they stop their unlimited dis
cusslons very soon. am not sure, howev.

OltumWa Prices.

The heavy stocks Of goods kept by our
merchants, and the exceedingly low prices
at which they are sold, is attracting to this
city good deal of the trade which was for
merly shared by the various towns about
US. So true is this that "Ottumwa prices"
has come t, be proverbial throughout the
region, and to say that goods will be sold at
"Ottumwa prices" has become the best Ad-
vertising dodge, and probably synonymous
with the superlative Of cheapness. A stove
house in Bloomfield, for instance, announces
through the Clarion, that goods will be sold
in that town at "Ottumwa pri ces." Hogan
& Son, those enterprising stove dealers, will
surely get run.

calls upon us with big flourish to report to
him Immediately on penalty of misprison Of

gagements have been such as to preclude
as prompt compliance with the very modest
and characteristic demand of our mild and
patriotic cotcmporary, but as soon as we are
ready to do SO, we will run round with so

through rebel sources that portion Of the
army Of the Potomac is moving up the York
and James rivers, and it is known that
Banks and Mcdowell are moving on Rich.

that the rebel capital is soon to be invested
on all sides. We shall probably hear from
that quarter in a few days.
A very briefdispatch announces the great
est victory at Pittsburgh Landing, Tenn
We may get the details before we go to press.
The evacuation of Island No. 10 is con.
firmed. 1t took place on Saturday. The
details of this gratifying and long expected
victory, have not been received.
Nothing has been heard from Buffers ex.

dable of all the naval expeditions, have doubt.
less achieved results which will be gratifying
when known.
On 'the whole the news Of the week is
most decisive and momentous. 1t would
seem as fthe rebellion was practically used
up. The rebel army Of Virginia hemmed
up by McClellan's, Burnside's, M:Dowell's
and Banks legions; a Federal army OF 300.

penetrate the sacred precints of the cotton

will or can do further.
