Proclamation.
TO THE PEOPLE OF IOWA.

The Rebellion, against which you have
been SO long and SO gallantly contend;ng, is
not vet quelcd, but requires yet other sac
rifices to complete the work. The enemy is
now putting forth every effort desperation
can suggest to accomplish his, purpose. He
is levying en- m,dsse all men within his reach
capable Of bearing arms, and is now holding
our armies in check, has driven one division
out Of Virginia, and threatens to invade
Maryland, and capture Washington itself.
Our Government calls for more troops and
must have them. Having done so much to
crush this foul conspiracy against our Gov
ernment, and having been lately so signally
blessed in our labors, we must meet these
new efforts Of the enemy with corresponding
force. The valor and patriotism of Iowa
have never been appealed to in vain. They
now have one more test, and will not fail.
We have sent more than twenty thousand
men to the field, and every one willing vol.
unteer to his country's cause Our soldiers
brave We have thousands more as heroic
hearts who are wanted with their brothers
in the field. -n
1t is probable that more than one regiment
will be required, and that they will be sent

Is A GREAT WAR.--The Toronto Canada }
Leader, in an article on the civil war in. the
United States. says:
.a"When one brushes away the haze Of in
teraction and the daily details Of the war and
the outline of the preparation on both sides
are allowed to stand out boldly in relief, their
magnitude almost strikes onewith amaze,ncnt.
Six hundred thousand men pitted against
each other in two localities; and either army
apparently indifferent about risking battle!
Modern wars afford no parallel to such ex-
traordinary preparations. The mind is nat.

find anything in military annals to compare
to the present war in the States. g.r

The ST Paul Pioneer l. Democrat Of
the 10th, contains letter from the Little
Crow Chief, to Col. Siblcy, which says he
wants to know in what way he can make
peace for his people. He also says the
white prisoners in his possession arc treat
ed as we'll as their own people. Letters
from the Sioux Chiefs, Mabashaw and
Taope, of friendly character. denounce
Little Crow as the cnuie OF the troubles
1t is evident the Sioux are much divided
and are 4uarreling among themselves :
Col. Sibley requests Little Grow to give
up the pr soners first. and tells Wabashaw
and Ta5fc that he will meet them and
their friends in open day, and adds: 81
am powerful enough to crush all who at
tempt to oppose my march, and to punish
these who have washed their hands in in
nocent blood"
The Pioneer of the 18th says: "The
Chippewa Embassy has returned they
settled successfully all questions in dis
pnte, and left the Indians in more cor
dial and friendly state Of mind than has
existed for many years. Nearly all the
Chiefs were pr, sent, and signed a treaty

II Works Well,

The enrolment of the Militia has pro-
duced most excellent effect in northwest
Missouri upon the minds of "Southern
sympath'zers, for since people are enroll.
ed as disloyal, this is the strongest phase
Of rebellion in these paris. They feel un.
comfortable and unsafe since the war is
brought home to them in the manner ia
which it should have been long ago. A
secessionist cannot stray from his home
now, but some militia man is sure to bag
him. Farming operations are uncertain,
for the peaceabie rebel agriculturalists
goes forth in the morning to cultivate the
crops whose yield he expects to sell to the
Government, often finds himself and his
horse incarceraled before night. Besides
many who tichly deserve hanging feel
that the men who now have arms in
their hands. have perfect knowledge 81
their guilt; and they grow uneasy at the
light estimate which these men place up
on the lives of bushw hackers and their
abettors. This system of subsisting on
the enemy works well, as we knew it
would, and if persisted in, it will soon
make the secession element among US
pray for peace. Indeed we expect to
hear prayers for the suppression Of this
rebellion offered up by clergymen in this
city whose s.sympathies are with the
South. st Joseph Journal

THE ROAD TO PEACEIN MISSOURI

1t seems waste of time and ink to ar
que the proposition that Emancipation
would at once rescue the State from the
dcsol,tion and carnage of civil war. If
Missouri should dismiss her slaves, the
motive cause of the continuance of the
rebellion, as to this State, would be re-
moved. The so called Ionfederacy is
professedly slave government, a gov
eminent in which slavery is the chief
corner stone." Manifestly it does not
desire and would not accept free State
into its sisterhood.
In the event of emancipation in Mis-
sour, the South would not only not invite
and compel her adhesion. but would actu-
ally repel her, and consequently invasion
would instantly cease, and peace again
smile on U.S.
This policy for the restoration of the
public peace is recommended by its econ
envy. Not to speak of the immense aud
incalculable benefits from emancipation
accruing in the future, but combining our
view to the present, we note that it would
not only cost nothing, but, under the plan
of the President ratified by Congress,
would actually be source Of largo and
immediate pecuniary profit. Slavery in
Missouri is now. by common consent,
worthless. The blind and criminal zeal
of its friends has wrought its ruin as a
permanent and profitable institution. An
attempt to preserve it will make it an ut
ter loss. 1t is, therefore, proposition Of
simple arithmetic, that if we can make a
sale Of it, it is SO much clear gain.
But, with the humane mind, all con-
siderations of pecuniary gain sink into
insigni6canoe, when compared with the
prospect of putting an end to anarchy
ard bloodshed This gain swallows up
everything else. The suppression of tho
war by the removal Of slavery, would be,
as mere question of finance, wise State
economy. even though we should receive
no compensation. Emancipation is in ev-
cry aspect Of the case, the cheapest and
best road to peace. Governor Gamble
and the State Convention have it in their
power to choose that road St. Louis
Union.
HA- When it can be proved that any
opponent Of slavery has taken up arms in
behalf Of the rebels, or has in any man
ner sympathized with and aided those who
have done SO, then and not until then will
sane man be justified in asserting that
the "more we have of the inspiration of
freedom the more difficult it will be to
crush out the rebellion and preserve the
union." When every school boy knows
that this war was originated for the ex-
press purpose Of founding sayeholding
government, what folly to pretend that
slavery has nothing to do with the issue
ana must not be attacked davenport

particular. He says that sur forces occu.

the commencement Of the battle, and that
the rebels we're driven back mile and a
half at ell points except one on the ex-

close of the day.
Our informant was all day within one
hundred yards Of Mcclellan, and says
that the results of the day were regarded
by him and his Staff as glorious victory,
though not final one. There was no
faltering at any point of the line of our
whole army. Our soldiers were exultant
at the result Of the previous days fight,
and Mcclellan was 10 the highest spirits.
The opinion Of Mcclellan and those
around him was, that the final result
would depend on who got reinforcements
FIRST.
Our informant says that nothing had
been heard on the field of the capture Of
Longstreet, or the killing Of Hill, and that
there was no truth in either report. TO-

AsAsefSn anu ACUclbs
Forney of the Philadelphia Press says
How wonderfully alike our English foes
in the past and our slavery foes in the
present The hatred of free institutions
that excited George III, is initiated by
those who, having received slavery from
him as curse, now 60 to war with the
people of Christian nation who refuse
to recognize it as blessing. Mr. Jeffer-
SON g Declaration of Independence said
that the history Of the present King OF
Great Britain is history of repeated in
juries and usurpat.ons but these atroc.
tiles have been equaled and surpassed BY
the leaders in the present rebellion. Like
the British monarch, "they have endeav-
ored to prevent the population of these
States" like him, they obs.ructed the
laws for the naturalization Of foreigners, 2
by enforcing new oath Of allegiance
like him, they have Constructed the ad.
ministration Of justice :" like him "they
plundered our seas, ravished our coasts,
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives
of our people, like him "they have con.
strained our fellow citizens to bear arms
against our country, to become the exc
cutioners of their friends and brethren,
or to fall themselves by their hand" and
like him, "they have endeavored to bring
on the inhabitants Of our frontiers, the
merciless Indian savages, whose known
rule OF warfare is an undistinguished de-
struction of all ages, sexes, and condi-
tons"
