The Mode of Loading vessels with Grain
THE REASON WHY THEY ARE LOST IN THIS CON-


There has been of late discussion among the
grain loading fraternity with regard TO the method
adopted in furnishing outgoing vessels with that article
The best OF loading claimed by to be by eleva.
tors while 1t is stated the other hand, that the old
method Of stevedoring is injurious to the interests OF
vessels so many losses sea- The elevators
which used prevent tho proper storage of grain
the hold it is also asserted, the pro-
perly for fear Of being slocated by the dust arising
from the same the consequence being that the grain
shifts TO the leeward when tha vessel goes to This
fact. however, has been contradcted by mon who
supposed to be posted in the matter.
We have received communication on the subject from
Messrs Woodward & Snyder, OF this city from which we
extract tho folowiDg-The truth is that in consequences
of JEFF Davis prvateers and the Trent difficulty

than American bottoms. and, in consequence, many
British vessels have found cargoes that unfit
carry grain, and many Of them have gone down in
sequence. which insured abroad, for the simple
reason that they could not get insurance here"

n1y@W We think our correspondent "Repub-
lican," in yesterdays issue, little too fast
in arguing for the appointment of Mr. Wallace,
on the ground that partizan partiality has
heretofore excluded the best men. Had there
been such partiality, the only Co!onclcy as
signed this county would not have been the
Democrat who fills the position to so general
acceptance.
We are far from denying to Mr.. Wallace
very many qualities of mind and person cs-
sential in a commanding officer, and which, il
united with a single-hearted earncstness Of
purpose, would secure his own dist notion and
ably second the cause he supported. We
trust, also, that we are too magnanimous and
too patriotic to allow mere differences Of po-
litical opinion upon matter, not vital to the
issues involved in the Nations life struggle,
to control our action in any degree. But il
is within our recollection that Mr. W, acting
in the capacity of chorister Of Church in our
city, has, upon the Sabbath day, rcbelled
against the singing of one of "the beautiful
psalms of David because Of its anti-slavery
character.
We remember, too, that notwithstanding
the larmonizing effects Of the common peril,
fusing all ordinary political rancor into one
common glow ofpatriotism, the gentleman in
question many times and oft upon our streets,
quite recently, has declared that the Republi-
can party, CONGRESS and the Administration
were thoroughly abolitionizad, and that, for
sootll, because they advocated peaceful and
constitutional resistance to the spread Of
slavery over free territory, and in the next
breath declared that he would chang the abo-
litionists as high as Hannah"
Give him the power, and if he is man OF
his word, which, far be it from us to deny,
he would hang the better half of his soldiers
and moreover, the rest of us. Wen be hanged
if are give it to him.
We do not fail to appreciate that high-toned
delicacy of character that prefers the possible
sn nGGaragas of our volunteers to the appointment
from the Governor, he can never obtain.
However much the exigencies Of this pc
culiar juncture may induce the gentleman
who found it Every hard to get up any en-.
thusiasm" over the grand mastering following
the fall Of Sumter, to round off his hard
words and softon his forms of speech, we are
afraid Mr.. Wallace hates anti-slavery too cor
daily to hate traitors in the interest Of slav
erv sufficiently. At least, while there are
many men of both or all parties whose whole
souls are enlist in the work, we cannot re
sist the conclusion that Mr. Wallace had bet

OuR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE,
CAMP OF THE ELEVENTH Iowa, !
Bolivar, Tenn, Aug. y. {


Bolivar, Tenn, Aug. y.
DEAR JouRyAL:-We are at present suffer
ing considerably from the heat but hope that
September will bring less burning sum-
Battalion drill is dispensed with almost en-
tirely, but company drill is attended to regu
larly. No one who has not experienced it
can conceive how laborious it is to go through
a battalion drill under a hot sun; yet the
BOYS bear up under it nobiy. Knowing the
necessity of it, they wisely submit cheeriully
Camped rs we are, on the banks of the
little stream Hatchee, we enjoy ourselves very
much in fishing and swimming. The rebels
about here have either sought healthier
cline or have become wonderfully quiet since
the arrival Of our brigade.
Our brigade is campcd on the left Of the
Hatchee, our regiment occupying the right of
the camp and the Sixteenth the left. The
BOYS Of the Sixteenth are very much dissatis-
fled with their CoIoncl, and denounce him as
a tyrant; but the difficulty probably arises
from the fact that Col. Chambers is an old
regular officer, and strives to bring his volun-
teers down to the submissive discipline of
regulars. The other field officers seem to be
liked very well.
There are about fifteen thousand troops
encamped about Bolivar-at least so the ru-
NOR goes. Fortifcations are being thrown
up, and the town could be defended against
great numbers, though it is hardly supposed
that such an occasion may ever arise.
The cars are running regularly between
this place and Corinth, and our principal sup
plies are brought over the road. As far as
the horses and mules go, the troops subslst
them on secesh forage. Having told about
all the news transpiring, will close.
Yours, truly,

It is a series of letters that passed between
Dodge and Mr.. Durham, the editor, The first
letter is from Dodge, b,ing challenge, drawn
forth by an editorial of July 9th, rejecting
retty severely on him for remarks made at
Democratic meeting. The General waxed
wroth, and knowing, or rather supposing, the
state of Mr.. Dunhan's health would preclude
him from accepting, sent him the notice.
But he had reckoned without his host-for
no sooner received tl,an accepted. Farther
Mr.. D. procured a commission for Mr.. Dodge
as Colonel, intending to go himself as pr
ynfe. He was disappointed in his good IN
tentions, however, as the General made a
square back. 1t is a rich production all

EsRec:i bra of nIiuEsa Officers.

S In yesterday mornings Courier we find
communication from John II. Wallace, ESQ.
: in which he calls the Governor to an accoun
: for nos allowing regiments to elect their owl
field officers. 1t is fact that the statute pro
: vides for the election Of all officers (statf ex
ceptedD by those persons liable to perform
military duty. The expediency OF this pro-
vision we think, however, may be called into
question when the means used to elect mill
tary officers are considered. When the First
Regiment was organized at Keokuk, year or
more ago, the field officers were ostensiblD
elected by the soldiers. Wesay ostcnsibly be-
cause soldiers in reality had but very little to
do with it. The Captains met the evening be-
fore the election came OFF and made their
nominations, and the private soldier, the next
morning, had printed ticket thrust into his
hand with oy}e S to Yo'e that ticket and no
other But few men are willing to incur the
displeasurc Of those having such despotic
authority over them by refusing to vote as di-
rected. The selection of field officers by the
soldiers themselves is a farce, and can never
be successfully carried out in accordance with
the spirit of the law which directs it. Mr..
Wallace ought to know this as we'll as any
one else lie pretends to be a military man
and is certainly aware that there is very little
democracy in military camp.
Again, when this redoubtable correspon-
dent Of the fourier asserts that the officers
that have been elected by the regiments, are
men worthy of Office he is speaking unad-
visably. Col Bates, who was chosen COM
mander of the Iowa First, was an unqualified |
Elumbug, and was not posted in even the |
first rud.imonts Of the art miIitaire On
dress parade one evening at Camp Ellsworth,
the regiment while standing in ''open order
was astonished to hear the command, ''stacll
arms" This every soldier will see was an
mpossibility. and we don't believe there is
man in the Home Guards but knows the
manual TOO well to be guilty of giving such
a command, yet Col Bates was entrusted with
the lives of one thousand as brave men as
ever carried mllsket in defense Of their
country, simply because he was sharp enough
to wheedle few captains into supporting
him.

, Governor Kirkwood gives notice, by, proc
lamation as follows
''The quota of this State of the three hun
dred thousand volunteers called for by thl
President on the Sth of July last, is ten thou
sand five hundred and seventy.
The quota of this State, Of the three hundred
thousand militia required TO be drafted by or
der of the President on the 9th inst, is ten
thousand five hundred and seventy.
The number of men required to fill up the
ranks of our regiments in the field, as repor-
ted to me by the Secretary of War, on the
18th of August instant, is eight thousand and
five.
The quota of the first call is over full by the
prompt and patriotic response OF our people,
within the last few weeks.
He further states that he is satisfied that
from fifteen to twenty thousand men are now
organized into companies awaiting organiza-
ton into new regiments, and he is urging up
on the War Department the acceptance of the
whole number, and that our State be credited
with the excess upon the second call for draf
ted men. But the War Department refuses
as vet to give us such credit until the num-
Der of men required to fill the old regiments
(eight thousand and tivc) shall have been fur
nishcd
In order then to get the credit due our State
fer the excess furnished over the first call, and
in order to give our country its most effective
and sorely needed help, we must fill up the
old regiments We can do this by volunteer
ing, until the first Monday of September. IfI
not done by that time, the deficiency will be
supplied by special draft, in addition to the
drafts under the second cali. Any person
desiring to enter an old regiment can select |
the regiment and company he prefers, and
thus go with his acquaintances and friends.
The Governor says he will recommend the
Legislature to provide bounty to all volun-
tccrs in the old regiments who shall enlist be
fore the lsf Of September next, and anvites
incomplete e,mpanies to abandon their at
tempts at g lnization as companies and en-
list in the old regiments.

Hon. d. S. Dickinson .etter Mr.. d. has
been Governor of New York, U. S. Senator,
and voted for rs a candidate for the Presiden
cy in several Democratic National Conven.
tons:
But in the pursuit of its purpose the Gov.
ernment must rise to the dignity oil the respon-
Sibility, and while it extends the protection of
! the Constitution to those who acknowledge
It's obligation, should, in dealing with revolt,
| lay its hand with iron rigor upon every inter
est which will give it strength or weaken It's

purpose of conquering an carly peace, in obe-

ton and the holiest dictates Of humanity,

immediately or remotely, condemn and con-
fiScate to its use every species Of property of
every name and kind, whether animate or in
animate, on two legs or on four. This will
give an earnest Of the realities of war.
There can be, there should be, but two
parties TO this contest in the loyal states. The
first, embracing those who, regardless OF
all other considerations or consequences, will
prosecute the war and sustain the Admins
tration for the purpose Of Furnishing treason
and vindicating the supremacy of the Consti
tuition; and the other, those who sympathize |
with rebellion and either justify it by open
advocacy or lend it aid and comfort and en-
couragem,nt by mods and winks and stolen
gIances of appreciation; by ill-eoncealed |
apologies for its course, and by assaults up
H., f,r |
against it.
We all remember the articles in the. Courier
on the tax bill, contiscation bills, and other
acts of the Government, made absolutely nee
essary by this rebellion.

nearer with our woud-be Congressman, and
who has this advantage over him. He had
