The Presidents Message.

The Presidents message is ncaly
finished. Mr.. Lincoln will argue his
emancipation policy at length in it,
not only in regard to the military
proclamation of emancipation in the
disloyal States, but in relation to his
gradual emancipation policy in the
Border Slave States.
Mr.. Lincoln is particularly fond of adj.
herring to his old ideas, and of retain.
ing impressions made years ago upon
his mind. Henery Clay was for many
years his political idol, and nothing
in that great mans life made so deep
an impression upon him as his clio,
quent advocacy of gradual emancipa.
ton in Kentucky. The speeches and
letters of Mr.. Clay upon this subject
are treasured up by Mr.. Lincoln, and
he will be quite likely to refer to them
in his message.
The subject Of emancipation is con-
tinually upon the mind of the Presi-
dent, and all the attempts of pro-slav-
cry presses or of the peace-Democrat
to drive him from the position he has
deliberately chosen will utterly fail.
Those who are intimate with the Pres
ident know that he smiles at the
newspaper stories of an attempt on
the part of John Van Buren,, Fernando
Wood, and others of that stamp to
drive him to the adoption of prosla.
very principles. He will not leave
his old ground, and the message will
settle that question.
1t is said that the message will be
unusually long, and that it will be fur
nished to the afternoon papers of the
country on Monday. the first day of
December.-N. Y Post.

More Mischief Brewing.

Halifax papers of the 10th instant
state that a number of naval and
army officers belonging to the Sothern
Confederacy have reached that place
from Bermuda, on their way to Europe.
1t scenes they successfully ran the
blockade from some Southern port to
the Bermudas, whence they were
taken in the steamer Delta to Halifax.
Among the number is Lieut.. Il. Maury,
who is now commodore in the Con-
fedcrate navy, and several other naval
officers, together with six officers of
the Confederate army. 1t is blieved
that they go to Europe to assume com
mand of some Of the vessels reported
to have been built or in process of
construction in England.

From Minnesota.

The st. Paul Press of the l4th inst.
learns that Gov. Sibley had reached
South Bend, the place designated to
rendezvous the troops under his com.
mand, and adds:
"Gov. Sibley has in his charge the
three hundred Indians condemned to
be hung. the eighteen condemned to
Imprisonment, besides about fifty
squaws, retained to cook for the In
dams. As the train passed through
New.Ulm, the sight of these miscre-
ants exasperated the people most in.
tenscly. They turned out en- mas~,
and pelted them with stones and sticks
till they got through town. One wo-
man watching her chance, darted be-
tween file of soldiers and knocked
down one of the Indians with club"

CAMP DEFIANCE, CAIRO,
November 10Th, 1862.
FRIEND HnDRETH Il begin to be-
lieve that the old adage, There is no
rest for the wicked" with the addition
nor the soldier, either" is true. In
fact, know it is, for no sooner do we
get our tents pitched and things reg
ulatcd so that we can rest" than
there comes an order to march, and
we have to pull up stakes and travel.
This has been the way with us ever
since we were mustered into the SER
vice, and if we are not noted for any
thing else | am sure We shall be for
travelling, If We keep on as VIC have
commenced. #-.
To-day the order is: Prepare to
start for Memphis and never has
an order to move been so cheerfully
received by the 9th as this.
1t has been raining here for the past
two or three days, and the mud is be-
yond description. Our tents are
pitched on the low grounds between
the levces, and last night all those
who had not "jayhawked" boards and
made floors te their tents, woke up to
find themselves, blankets and al, near.

as this, the boys in Company G are in

none of them dangerously so-and
although VIC were originally the small
est in numbers, we now report fit for
duty more men than any of the six
Companies who were with us on the
celebrated Mile Lac march. | think
it will not be Boosting to say we
have as good material and are as we'll
if not the best drilled Company in the
Regiment. As to our officers, think
there is not man in the Company
but will agree with me in saying that
they are as good as we could wish
for at all times looking out for the
welfare of their men, and seeing them
provided for as well as circumstances
will admit.
At the time of their Election some
who were not acquainted with them,
feared they would get the big head"
and they only voted for them because
they were nominated and it was nee
cssary to be united in order to organ
izc our Company before it was too late
But to-day there would be no such
fears, and were we allowed the privi-
lege of choosing others, there is not a
man but would say we want no others.

be on hand, so good afternoon.

WHERE ARE THE Crows I've see it
stated in many of our exchanges-es-
pecially from the East--that the
crows have entirely disappeared
The question arises, where are they ?
who can tell? Has not gunpowder
something to do with it? 1t is well
known that crows very much dislike
the smell of gunpowder.-E1.
Just so they are both tories and
towards. Many of them, in fleeing
from the war, have come to Iowa. 1t
has often been remarked that crows
were never known to be so numerous
in this State as they have been the
past season.

ed in all these movements of Northern
traitors. These allies of JEFF. Davis
are becoming more bold every day,
and more fierce and out-spoken in
their advocacy Of treason. They have
their newspapers in Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Del

other States, penetrating all the vari-
rious ramiiications of society, and
talking out treason, rank and infa.
nous. They have grown insolcnt since
the fall elections, and now wage war
against the Government in a defiant
tone. And what is strange. the Gov.
eminent tamcly submits to their hos
tiiity. That many Of these papers are
in the pay of the Southern Confeder-
acy, have no doubt, and hence the
game of treason is deep one, well
played out. The Louisville papers
speak of the arrest of a man in that
city, by General Boyle, who had in
his possession $4,000, which he al
legged was the money of loyal persons
in Augusta, Georgia, who had employ
ed him to bring it North and deposit
in bank for them Will any sane
man believe one word Of this story?
That amount of money would sus.
tain half a dozen of these tory papers
at the North for another year.
| repeat, a deep game is being play
ed out by the South and her Northern
allies, and | warn all true men Of all
parties against their Vaccinations
Backed up with that infamous organi.
cation, the Knights of the Golden
Circle, these traitors have now got
net work spread over the entire ma
ton, SO minute in details, and so mex
plicablc in its nature. that even the
devil, with all his arts and subtlcty
could not elude their grasp. Northern
Democrats are falling into it 10y thous
ands. Thousands Of them are honest
and deceived, having no idea of the
extent and purpose of the conspiracy
they are getting into. Thousands OF
these voters are acting in good faitl
towards the Federal Government
and if they had the most distant idea
that they were going gradually bu,
Gel tainly, into the victorious camps OF
JEFF. Davis, they would Indignantly

respectively furnished, gives to

On the Sd of September We sent the
Governor the names of all the volun-
teers and regulars furnished by Floyd
county, and asked that the county re-
ceive due credit for the same. Owing
to some oversight Tor other cause) il
appears that this was not done. On
Monday las: we again wrote the Gov
ernor, and renewed the request. If
the full credit is not granted, then the
number to be furnished by each town
ship will be proportionably greater.
We have always regarded it as
great misfortune that so many of our
volunteers should 60 into Companies
organized in other Counties, instead of
being organized into company Of
their own and under their own officers.
The sequel shows that they have been
counted to swell up the "excesses +" of
those very counties, and to the same
extent increase the deficit of Floyd
county. 1t is to he hoped, however,
that it is not yet too late to correct
this mistake.
In the mean time we urgently re-
quest each township to commence re-
cruiting. There should be no delay.
Let some one in the township, who is
willing to volunteer himself, proceed
At once to make up his townships quo

Distribution of the Postage Currency
AND THE TAX STAMPS.

How to obtain supply of Postage
Currency and Tax Stamps, is the ques.
ton in many places. a business firm
in Iowa recently sent ten dollars ($l0)
by mail to the Assistant Treasurer at
New York for Postage Currency. The
amount, minus heavy charge for
postage, was received, and with it
the following reply:
SIRs Your letter is received. j
herewith transmit $40 in Postage Cur
rency. But this application must not
be renewed, as / cannot transact this
business by correspondence.
(Signed) JOHN j. Cisco,
Assist. Treasurer, U. ).
This letter is to be commended to
the attention of the Administration,
for so long no considerable number of
places have been provided for obtain
ing such Postage Currency. What
are people at distance to do, if re-
fused the privilege of obtaining this
Currency by mail To live far
West" or very remote from the great
commercial centres, is often consider
ed hardship, and we do feel like ask
ing the Government to give us fair
play in obtaining Postage Currency.
!
Is the decision Of Mr.. Cisco to be the
rule, and no other way provided? If
so, there does seem to be room for
complaint. A resident Of Washing
ton or New York can walk into the
Treasurer's Office with a Treasury
Note and receive the amount in Post
age Currency, while loyal citizen at
a distance, who risks his money and
proposes to pay postage, each way, is
coldly refused ! A small additional
amount Of clerk labor would easily ill
all such orders by mail, and again we
ask, Will it not be done?
After the refusal to furnish Postage
Currency by mail, parties in almost
every town issued, and are still busy
issuing, small shinplaster notes, in
direct violation of law and as many
of these are worthless the evil and
loss attending them will be great.
close with two suggestions
l. Direct that Postage Currency and
Tax Stamps be sent by mail when so
ordered.
2. Require, or authorize, some per-
son in each county to keep a supply
of each kind of stamps. Postmasiers
at county seats could keep them, and
safely too, by giving bonds to the re-
qnisitc amount.
These measures, Or something SINH
lar, If carried into effect at an early
day, will do away private shinplas-
tiers, relieve business, do justice to
the people every where, and strength
Ell their attachment to the Govern
ment. j. w. S.

The oath to deport himself as a
loyal citizen" implies that he con.
sidcrcd himself justly charged with
being disloyal, and the additional oath
that he will not prosecute any officer
Of any loya! State, or the United
States, for causing his arrest, is a
sworn acknowledgement on his part
that the arrest was justiiable and
proper. The less that is now said by
Mahouy and his traitorons sympathi.
zers the better. He has himself made
good all that was ever charged against
him.
