Colonel Vandever.

The Dubuque Herald and Cedar
Democrat publish an attack upon Col.
Vandever, because he is with his reg.
iment and has not resigned his seat in
Congress. Well, perhaps they ough,
to do it. Had their favoritc, "Oul
Ben" been elected to Congress, he
would never have left his seat to face
the enemy and fight the battles of our
country. He might have been among
the rebels, where his sympathies are
Col. Nandeyer has done as several
other Congressman have done, accep-
ted the position Of Colonel, and still
held their seats in Congress. Colonel
Vandever was acting Brigadier Gen
eral at the battle of Pea Ridge, and
fought bravely and is honorably men,
toned in the commanding Generals
report. He is safe from such fault
finders. Those who elected him are
proud of him, and have no desire to
see him resign Upton Advertiser.
1t might be added that Col. vande-
yer is probably safe from the attacks
of the little knot of professed Republi-
cans, in Dubuque and some other parts
of his District. who seek every opportu-
nifty to maligH him. The secret of
their malice is, that Mr.. Vandever had
not Offices enough at his disposal to
supply them all.

A RObber Caught.

Some three months ago the safe of
the County Treasury of Bremen coun-
ty was robbed of $3.50 AS no clue
to the robbery could be obtained, sus-
picion naturally rested on the Treas
urer, and hints to that effect reaching
his ears, he determined, if such thing
were possible, to ferret out the thief.
He employed an eastern detective
who soon started upon the scent. a
stranger had purchased a fast horse
in Dubuque for 81 800, and left. This
aroused suspicion. 1t was found that
the same man had purchased a farm
in Hancock county, ILL.,, for which he
the money disclosed five dollar bill,
Bank of Commerce, which was recog-
nized as part of the contents of the
Bremen county safe. The man was
then traced to this city, where he was
yesterday arrested by the detective
who Immediately started with him for
Dubuque. His name is Peter w. Now
els. For the last six months he has
been residing with his family, consist
ing of his wife, two children, and his
mother, on the bluff back of East Day.
enport.-Dareaporl Gaz., March 26.
1t is reported that Novels is one of
the men who robbed the Treasurer's
safe atWest Union year or two since.
We also learn that money enough has
been recovered by Novels arrest to
max good the amount stolen from
Bremen county.

The Presidents Visit to It, Worden

Lieutenant Worden is at the house of Lieut.
Wise, in Washington, under the most skill
full medical treatment and faithful nursing.
1t is not yet known whether the sight Of one
eye is entirely destroyed. In letter written
by Lieut.. Wise he says: That night. latter the
battle,) left the fortress and got Lieut.. Wor-
den safely home in Washington city. Leav-
ing him to the care of my wife, / went with
the Secretary to the President, and gave him
the particulars of the engagement. As soon
as had done, President Lincoln said, "Gen-
tlemen, am going to shake hands with that
man." and presently walked round with me
70 our house. / led him up stairs to the
room where Worden was lying with fresh ban
daSes over his scorchcd eyes and face, and
said, Jack, here's the President, come to
see you" He raised himself on his elbow, as
the President took his hand, and said, +" You
do me great honor Mr.. President, and am
sorry that cannot see you" The President
was visibly affected, as with tall frame and
earnest gaze he bent over his wounded subor-
dinate but after pause, he said, with quiv-
ering voice d" You have done me more honor.

down, while Worden gave him an account of

The Secesh Women.

1t is appalling to think how the milk of hui
man kindness has curdled in the breast of the
women of the South. At Nashville, at Alex
andria, at Fernandina, at Winchester, it is the
same story--Athalas and Jezebels at every
window and on every street corner. Surely
the world has never known such an epoch of
tragedy queens. What race of young vipers
they might give birth to! Commander Rodg-
ers report of the occupation of Jacksonville,
and of the secesh heroines therein, reminds us
of the tanning of a shrew in Baltimore by a
Wisconsin officer, some time since. Mrs. Sc
cesh met the officer in the street, had never
seen him before, but addressed an insulting
remark to him because he wore the United
States uniform. He made no reply, but quiz
city followed her. When she reached home
and entered the house, he went i'm also. He
called for the master of the house, mistress
meanwhile going scornfully to her room.
Master came. Sir" said the officer, I" your
wife insulted me on the street without provo
cation, because wore the uniform Of the Uni
ted States. Now, sir, you must apologize or
will fog you" Mr.. Secesh did not hesitate
to make ample apology. Now call your wife
and make her apologize said the officer.
The woman came, when he thus addressed
her: q Madame, Union soldiers never harm
women they are protected by their weakness
if not their innocence. You insulted me be-
cause was in the military service of the Uni
ted States engaged in putting down rebellion
and treason. / cannot chastise you, but am
about to infiict the penalty of your treason up
on your husband unless you apologize. Mad
anne didn't wait to hear any more; she said
she was sorry, and would do SO no more.

Whereabouts of Iowa Regiments.

The Hawkeye gives the following
particulars in reference to the present
localities of the various Iowa rcgi-
ments. The 4th and 9th infantry, the
LIST and Sd cavalry, and the LIST, Cd
and Sd batteries are with Gen. Curtis
in Arkansas, we believe. The 5th and
10th are with Gen. Pope at New Mad
rid, below Island No. 10. The Cd,
7th, 18th and l4th, composing Gen.
Humans Brigade, are at or near Sa-
vannah, Tenn, as are also the Sd, 9th,
9Th, 18th and 18th composing General
Mckcan's brigade. The Curtis Horse
and the LIST Nebraska Infantry, both
composed largely of Iowa troops, are
also at Savannah. Major Gorse is on
the staff of Gen. Pope at New Madrid.
Lieut.. Fletcher, regular army, is with
his regiment at New Madrid. There
is also an engineer company, contain
ing number of boys from Denmark,
at the same place. Captains Bere-
man and Darnelle, regular army, APP
pointed from Mount Pleasant, are at
Nashville, the former wounded. Our
impression is that the Cd Cavalry, Col
Elliot, is either in Kentucky or Ten
nessee. The 4th Cavalry is at Rolla,
or on their way hence to Springfield
and Arkansas. The 18th and 10th
Regiments have very recently gone
into service and are probably at ST.
Louis.

General Sigel.

Mr.. j. A. Cleveland attached to the
Quartermaster's Department of the
Odd Illinois, furnishes an account of
the battle of Pea Ridge to the Lafay-
cite lind. Courier, in which he says
that at council of war during the
fight, Gen. Curtis spoke despondingly
of the prospect, and intimated that
surrender would be inevitable.
Sigcl sprang to his feet, and with
startling emphasis exclaimed Mine
friend mine friend give me Davis
Col j. G. Davis) and dc command,
and / shows you who has de field in
tree hours" Davis was earnest for
fighting to the bitter end, and Curtis
allowed Sigcl to have it his own way.
For nearly two days they had been
surrounded by the superior numbers
of the enemy. Sigel planned and cx-
ecuted ruse, the result of which re-
ally settled the fortunes of the battle.
He commanded his artillerymen to
load their guns with blank cartridges.
When fired not rebel was seen to
fall. This was repeated half dozen
times. The rebels believing the Fed
erals had exhausted their ammunition
made an indiscriminate rush for the
battery. Sigel withheld his fire until
the enemy came in position to suit
him, and then hurled storm of grape
and canister among them which NOW
ed them down like grass. The rebels
were put to utter rout. Sigel follow
cd their main body for twelve miles
and captured a considerable quantity
of wagons, supplies, &C., several am
munition wagons, load of powder,
and nearly thousand stand of arms,
The seccsh prisoners arc very bitter
towards Sigel. They were willing to
be beaten by Americans, but to be
whipped by id Dutchman is too
much for the shiverly" to endure

How to Capture Gunboats.

The experience we have already had has de
monstrated the impracticability Of destroying
the iron-clad and strongly built guuboats o
the enemy by the cannon of forts While
large ships of war may be easily repealed and
destroyed by the fire of forts, these small
boats with a few guns, secured by iron case.
mates, can approach near to the object of as
sault. defy the heaviest artillery. and throw
shells into an open fort which will render il
untenable. The only efficient mode of resist
ing and defeating such craft, in the absence OF
like vessels on our part, is to board and cap
ture them. -Ner Orleans Delta.
That is 1T, exactly. If the rebels would cap
ture gunboats they must go close up, jump on
board and overpower the crews This is as
bright a proposition as to salt the tails of shy
birds before seizing them by the legs.
