MELANCHOLY AccIpENr.-A sad and
distressing accident occurred at Cher.
okee on the 10th ult., resulting in the
death of Eliza Killam, an accomplish
ed and interesting young lady of that
place. She, in company with two
men, was crossing the little Sioux in
4 canoe. The stream was much swo-
len and the current very swift. The
boat struck snag and was upset.
throwing the whole party into the riv-
err. At first they all succeeded in get.
ting hold of the boat, but the boat
sank. But one Of the men could swim
and he seized Miss Killam, and for a
long time struggled hard to reach the
shore and if possible save her life.
But the current was SO swift and the
water so cold that his own strength
failed, and he was taden from the wa
ter entirely exhausted Siour City
Register.

The Political Chess Board.

Among the gentlemen named for
Congress in this District we have
heard mentioned, our present member,
Col. vandever, s. p. Adams, and w.
b. Allison, of Dubuque, Milo McGlath-
cry of West Union, and E. G. Bow
doin of this county. We are certain
that Mr.. Bowdoin does not aspire to
the nomination for Congressman, but
understand that he has good show
for Secretary of State, and it is hi 81 y
probable that he will be nominated
for that office. Mr.. McGlathery is
proposed for Congress by some of the
Clayton county gentlemen who wish
to give the District Attorneyship to
John 7. Clark. Judge Williams de,
clincs all Office, and j. 0. Crosby Of
Garnavillo is proposed for District
Judge in his stead. f. G.. Walbridge
of West Union is urged by his friends
for Register of the State Land Office
Now all these gentlemen are honor
able men and worthy the places sug
gcsted for them, but it is highly prob
able that some of the plans name
will not win. The people are yer.
anxious to retain Judge Williams Oh
the bench of this District, and W,
think they will insist upon it, howeve
much the Judge may prefer the re
tiremcnt of his splendid farm. w
think Mr.. McGlathery will prefer t.
retain his present Office Of Distric
Attorney, rather than run tilt wit
L. L. Ainsworth for Congress. Blu
the strangcst thing about all this bus
mess is, that no one appears to b
seeking the Office of Member of Boar
of Education. What does it mean
Our time is up, and we are longin
for the retirement of private life

Good News From Gen. Banks!
VICTORY AT MARTINsBURG
Another Tic!cry q. Front Royal!


REBELS ROUTED WITH GREAT SLAUGHTER F!
A despatch received at the War De-
partment, May 3lst, stated that bril-
gade of our troops preceded by
four companies of the Rhode Island
4th, entered Front Royal Friday morn.
ing at IL o'clock, and drove out the en-
envy consisting of the 9Th Louisiana,
companies of the 18th Georgia, and a
body of cavalry. Our loss was 8 Kill
led, four wounded and one missing,
all of the Rhode Island cavalry. a.
We captured officers, and $50 pri-
Yates. Among the officers are Cap
tain Beckwith, of the 4sth Virginia,
first lieutenat Tremmell, of the 9Th,
ieutenants j. X. Dixon, and Water
man, of the 10Th Georgia and captured
Is Of our troops taken at Front Royal,
a week ago, among whom are several
officers.
We captured a large amount of
transportation, including five engines,
and eleven railroad cars. Our ad-
vance was so rapid that the enemy
was surprised, and was therefore not
enabled to buru the bridge across the
Shenandoah.
The loss of the enemy is not ascer-
tanned, but is said to be large, as our
cavalry cut in upon them in splendid
style.
A despatch from Gen. Banks to the
Secretary of War, states that the 5th
New York Cavalry entered Mar
tinsburg this morning and pas
scd several miles beyond, when
they encountered the enemy's cavalry,
captured several prisoners, a wagon,
muskets, ammunition, &c. Col. Dc For
est reports that COL kenly is at Win
chester wounded.
| A special to the Post says: At the
latest advices the rebels were above
Front Royal in considerable force, and
Gen. Banks forces were pushing on
having fought brisk battle and com.
pletely defeating the enemy. 1t is
safe for Union people to act as if the,
heard more good news.
Gen. Fremont received despatch
from the Secretary of War to fall bac,
with his entire command to the sup
port of Gen. Banks, and at daylight
on Sunday the troops commenced
breaking camp and took up their line
of march. This movement Of Fro
mont's army from Franklin to the sup
port of Banks, will cause the rebel
Gen. Jackson and his army to "skc'
daddle," and restore to Gen. Banks
control of the Shenandoah Valley ane
if Fremont routes, disperses or cap

army, the late disaster will be signal

When our Legislators returned from
Des Moines they reported that it was
recommended and expected that the
County Committees of this Congress.
sional District would arrange the mat
ter of calling the District Convention.
1t has since leaked out that four or
five other members Of the General
Assembly, while passing up the Mis-
sissippi on steamer, on their way
home, for the want Of something else
to occupy their time, proceeded to
appoint Republican Congressional
Committee for us. Senator L. l.. Aims
worth (Democrat) was with the party
and four or five Of the committee were
appointed on his recommendation
The appointment of this committee
was kept secret until quite recently
We have never seen their names in

There is a rumor in town that a
constable was shot up in Mitchell
county for shooting an unregistered
dog. The report is that the man has
since died from the effects of the
wound. Waterloo Courier. .aa
While at Cedar Falls, the other day,
we heard that three different consta-
bles had been shot-one in Mitchell
county, one in Buchanan county, and
one in Bremen county-all because
they had attempted to execute the
dog law-and it was reported to us
that the Bremen constable had died
There is probably no truth in any Of
the statements.

Hon El'cin N. Stanton, Secretary Of Var:
The enemy's works in front of Cor
NTH were exceedingly strong, he can
not occupy a stronger position. In
his fight this morning he destroyed an
immense amount of public and priv
ate property, stores, provisions, wag-
ons, tents, &c. For miles out of the
town the roads are filled with arms,
haversacks, &c, thrown away by his
fleeing troops. A large number of
prisoners and dcscrters have been
captured, estimated at 1000. Gen.
Beauregard evidently distrusts his
army, or he would have defended so
strong position. His troops are
very generally much discouraged and
demoralized. For the last few days
their resistance has been slight.
