one Of unmxed horror, which even the

on with composure.
Going to the battle field Of Saturday
with the flag of true, l saw many
rebels, and three Brigadier Generals.
The men were in sorry plight, many Of
them ragged and bare footed. The
generals were fine looking men, plainly
dressed in gray, without ornament of
any sort, except little cord about the,
wristband, and a scarcely distinguish
able star upon the shoulder. They were
not talkative, or, rather, we were not,

Organize.

EE- We desire to impress upon the
Republicans of every township in this
county the importance of thorough or
ganzation. The MAHoNY Democracy
are completely drilled, and will make the
most effective effort possible. 1t will
not do for loyal men TO be lukewarm in
this contest. The election has a large
bearing upon the welfare and safety Of
the country. From our soldiers who
have gone forth to fight the battles of the
Union, come, up the earnest entreaty :
" Do not let the traitors triumph at home
while we are fighting in the field. Do
not give the VALLANDIGnAMMERs the
power to open the fire in the rear of the
government which they have threaten.
ed" From a large number Of our brave
boys has this desire come up to us, and
we tell you that they are looking to the
loyal men at home to wipe out every yes
iige of this traitorous MAHoNyIsM from
our midst. To do this we must labor
we must work, we must organize. We
must take no success for granted. We
must open the eyes Of the loyal Demo
Gratis to the vile designs of their leaders
We have a right to ask them to 60 with
us, as men devoted solely now to every
effort to uphold the government and sup.
press rebellion. There is no portion of
the Democratic ticket put forth by State,
Congressional, or Judicial Conventions,
that is not dyed deeply with the traitor
Gus stain OF MAHoNY1sM. Let the man
who desires no compromise with, who
has no sympathy with rebels and trait
ors, vote with the unconditional friends of
the government-vote with the party
that has never bred traitor.

Our County Ticket.

EE The Republican County Conven.
ton which met at the Court House las,
Saturday, well performed its duty. Il
renomlnated the present Clerk and
Sheriff, and in SO doing, in our humble
Judgment, did itself infinite credit. In
fact, we presume it would have been
difficult for it to do anything else
Those officers have proven themselves
so able and efficient. that proposition
for change would have been received
with general dissent.
EDWARD BREWER has been Clerk al.
most ever since the organization of the
County, and he certainly grows more
popular every year. Like most undem
onstrative men, it takes much intercourse
fully to know and appreciate him, but
we believe that it is the universal expe-
rience that his friends find a constant
development Of sterling qualities in him.
A gentleman who has been long associat-
ed with him in official position, said TO
US some time since, that the more he
saw of EDWARD BREWER, the more reason
he had to respect him as a man and AS
an officer Unhnchingly honest, he new
err swerves hair from a strict and Just
discharge of duty. Taking pride in his
duties, he Is always at his post, and when
business presses never hestates to work
night after night in its disposition. He
never makes mistake, and is an oracle
Of information upon all matters pertaining
to the County. 1t seems almost impos-
sible that we could get along without
him. That is the testimony of one
brought in daily contact with him, and
1t certainly is no fattery. We believe
that it is but just and simple estimate
Of the mans worth in his position. We
believe that it is the universal opinion OF
the people, and we certainly think they
will never do without him SO long as he
will consent to serve them. OF course
he will be elected.
Mr.. WEsTFALL has also proven n pop
uar officer in every respect. We have
never heard a single complaint against
him in respect 10 his official duties, and
we don't believe we ever shall hear a
reasonable one. Here, where john is
known by every one, no one is better
liked, and he wilreceive large endorse.
ment. lie is prompt, yet unoliicious !;
kind, yet energetic-always doing his
duty, but making his duties as little
obnoxious as possible. We have full
faith in his election by fattering ma
joriiy.

On the battlefield, Butler County, Missouri
Aug. I'd, ALBERT, c. Afford, of Quasqueton
Buchanan County, Iowa. Aged 20 years and
3 months.
The subject of the above notice was among
the first to offer his services in defence of the
institutions of our country and one of the
bravest in that service He was member OF
the Iowa First Cavalry under Captain Heath
and fell pierced in the head and breast, in an
attack of rebel guerrillas, falling within
few PAGES of his Captain, in one of the severes
fought battles of the war.
He leaves not only a large circle of relatives
and acquaintance at his home, who deeply
mourn his death, but he is lamented as kind
and generous friend, and brave soldier by
companions in arms. Let us honor the mem
Dry Of such as he who nobly give up theii
lives for their beloved country.

EV This is the title of half sheet

and secession by placing the response
biiity of the rebellion upon the Republi-

patriotic sentence, or a word of political
truth IN it. Either ignorance is very
large, or candor very small, among the
developments Of that illustrious trio of
editors.

The Crisis" thinks the Republicans
ought 10 be ousted from power because
the country is in CONFUSION through the
agency Of a Democratic rebellion. Ac-
cording to this logic the only thing for a
defeated party TO do TO become the victors
is TO get up a rebellion. convulse the
country, and charge the troubles TO the
account OF it's opponents. What a
beautiful conception Of the theory Of our
government this illustrious trio Of editors
must possess Why don't they go to
Mexico, where the rebellion system of
reversing constitutional victories has
long prevailed ?

Herald. Judge WILSON is also running
upon the same ticket with Mr.. MAHoNY.
and though every Democratic paper in
the Congressional district, except Mr..
MAnoNY's own, has entered protest
against that nomination, and denounces
and refuses to support the man who is
now between the four walls Of prison
for his reasonable acts, JUDI. e WILSON
does not refuse to affiliate with him-en-
ters no protest against being associated
with him on the ticket.
We say. then, if men are to be Judged,
as men are judged, by their associations
and evident sympathies, there is reason
Tor every voter to pause and question the
position Of Judge Wilson. 1t is the dvty
of every loyal voter in this district to
query whether Judge Wilson stands
with the government or with traitors to
the government such as DENNIS A. MA
HoNY. There is room for distrust, and
necessity for explanation. We are anx-
ious to give Judge WILSON the opportu-
nifty for explanation. Accordingly, while
he was holding Court in this place last
week. we addressed him the following
letter. lie has not yet deigned reply.
He may still do SO. We will wait and
