The Iowa DELEGATION.

EF Iowa, during this crisis Of the
country, has left noble record, not only
through the inlomitable energy and
bravery of her sous in the field but be-
cause Of the wisdom OF her representa-
tives in Council. To Senator GRIMES,
more probably than to any other man in
Congress, is the country indebted for the
success which has attended our naval
operations. Among the first 10 recog :
nlze the great Improvements in naval
warfare, he has constantly pressed these
improvements upon the department, and
has worked indefaiigably for naval eilic-
ieDcy. The Chicago Tribune gives him
the following just credit:
To Senator Grimes of Iowa, and to Hon. c..
B. Sedgwick of New York more than to any
or all other men in Congress, are we indebted
for the liberality and wisdom which has gone
hand in hand with the efforts of the Depart
ment in creating our new navy. Mr.. Grimes
is Justly entitled TO the designation of the FIRST
Lord of the Admiralty. Ii not the first to pro-
pose the substitution Of lron.clad ships and
rams for coast defense, in the place of wooden
frigates and gunboats, he was certainly the
first to advocate them in Congress His speech
on this subject in 1859, though UNDECIDED then,
presents the arguments in favor of the proposed
change in mastery manner. Every word he
then uttered has been verified by experience
and has proved him to be a practical statesman
Of the first class,
But his practical ia lgment, his great
ability, bis untlring energy, has been
given to the furlherance Of All the great
measures to strengthen the hands of the
government, and to sustain It in It's strug-
gle. BY his side, answering in the
right, eloquent to say and prompt TO do,
has stood Senator HARLAN In the
House, standing alone TO represent the
interests Of a great State. and Of 700, 600
freemen, in that body, was JAMES F.
WILSON winning by his talents, respect
for himself, and influence and regard for
his State.
If such is the proud position Of Iowa
in the present Congress, at what may We
Justly estimate her influence in the next !?
Then, with that one noble Representative
in the House, she will have five others
scarcely less able-eyery man true as
steel 10 the cause Of country and Of free,
dom-eyery man of sterling worth as a
man-and Of weight by virtue of intel
leclual ability and business capacity
With our Senators. it will be a delegation
to make us proud-a delegation worthy
the stare whose sons have been declared
heroes on every battle field Of the West
delegation up TO the needs Of the coun,
try.
The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1862-10-28
way partial or unjust, and why should it
not prevail ? We know of no reason.
The Elections.

AZ The October elections are against
us in all save our own noble STATE, which
fights secession equally successfully at
home or abroad.
Ohio gives popular majority for the
Democrats Of about 10000, and elects
Is Democratic 10 5 Republican members
of Congress. Some of the districts, how
eyer, are very close, and it is believed
that some of them will be changed by
an official examination.
Indiana elects the Democratic State
ticket by small majority, Democrats
to Union Congressman, and secures a
Democratic United States Senator lhro'
a Democratic legislature.
Pennsylvania gives about 5000 ma
Jority for the Democratic State ticket,
and elects Is Union and 9 Democratic
congressman.
The result, however, is glorious vim
olcatlon OF Republican patriotism. Ii
has shown most transparency that the
call Of country has found in the Repub-
cans breast most hearty, most cor
dial, response. Ii has shown that the
Republican masses have rallied round
the old flag in glorious unanimity, and
that their devotion to the old Constitu
ton and the old Union was equal to the
test OF bloody war. Our defeat at the
polls is a record Of honor, for our loss as
party has been the gain of the army
our decrease of ballots marks the pre-
ponderance of bayonets. We are thank
full for defeat when it brings such glor-
ious evidence of our patriotism. The
most brilliant party record ever written
is that made for the Republicans by the
soldiers Of the Union. The record OF
the soldiers show that the boast of Dem
ocratic victory is the boast of Democrat.
ic shame. We are content with the re,
suit.

Judge Wilson Defe ated.

Gg" Judge WILSON had 1857 MAORI
ty in that sink of Torylsm, Dubuque
County. 1t wasn't enough for him,
however, for the soldiers have carried
the majorilies for Burt even beyond that
figure. The Dubuque Times has off
clal majorities for BURT up to 1862, with,
in votes of WILSON. There are other
regiments to hear from, which will elect
BURT by a handsome majority While
we have no exultaton for this result as 4
party triumph, we do feel deep sense
OF qualification at it. because il takes from
that miserable Herald clique of Tories
the last vestige Of official power outside
OF Dubuque and because, with our ideas
of Mr.. BURT's fitness, we think the iu-
rsprudence of the District will be essen
TALLY improved.

West Independence. There are some
elegant dwellings, good Court House
for SO new county as Henepin, and as
magnificent mills as there are in the wes-
tern country. A pretty and costly
bridge across the river, adds to the worth
Of the town materially. The superior
natural advantages, and pleasant location
Of this place, gave it charm which l
shall not soon forget. 1t has a popula-
ton Of some four thousand. St. Antho
ny, just across the river, is place of
about the same desirableness of location
and superior advantages. We marched
three miles right up the river, and en-
camped by pleasant brooks sid g, and
that night named our camp, Camp Lake.
Next morning we marched to Anoka, a

the river on an old current ferry, which
was a very tedious job. Col. Lake went
ahead, and as fast as we came up, the
teams were put in proper position, and
again we pitched our moving tents, a

This morning we struck our tents at
an early hour, and marched from the
little village Of AnoSa up the Rum river
about fifteen miles, and here we are on
the banks of the Rum, just after brief
but excellent discourse from the estima-
BILE chaplain, Rev. n. A Bardwell. Col.
Lake is sitting on box by nv side, in

regulations. Hastings and Hunt are over
in their tent in good spirits, and Capt.
Noble and company are we'll representing

inson, Of TuScarawas county, now n Cap
tain in the Eighlieth Ohio Regiment, near
Corinth, thus writes to the Holmes COun-
ty Farmer, about the damaging effects Of
the Abolition emancipation projects that
are being passed by the present Congress {:
1.-The legislation Of Congress on the
slavery question has greatly strengthened
the rebel cause in the Southwest The
rebel leaders now say, Did we not tell
you what the AbOlitionistS would do if
they succeeded The Abolitionists have
thrown all the doubtful and wavering on
the side Of the rebels, except very few,
who count the chances Of success and act
accordingly. 1t is hard for soldiers to
crush Secession when Congress is tramp
ling upon the Constitution, and enforcing
the dOgnas which aided in bringing this
devastating war upon the country. 1t
will take the last life'S drop Of many poor
soldiers to repair the damage that the
present Congress has done to the Union
cause"
The above expresses the sentiments of
