LEAvENwoRTn, April 19.-Col. Jenni-
son, late of the Kansas 18th regiment, has,
been arrested by order of the military
authorities and sent to Alton, III: The
cause of his arrest is said to be insubor-

DubuQuers Kick.

I "Uu4ut'S eAS''
1t appears from lengthy and numer-
ously-signed protest, from the merchants
and shippers of Dubuque. that the Hi
nois Central Railroad Company is about
to change its freight arrangements, very
much to the detriment of Dubuque in.
terests. The upshot of the matter seems
to be, that the Railroad Company propo-
ses to deliver the freight in Dubuque, in
stead OF Dunleith, and to make use of a
certain functionary, CALLED a {" transfer
agent" This agent, of course, is to be
paid, and the Dubuquers kick out of the
traces. They say that they can do it
themselves for less than half the money,
and they furnish actual figures to show
that the so-called "transfer agent" can
make clean profit of from IS to Sl2
on every days work Of a team, besides
paying 81 for the use Of the same. Re-
ducing the team work to So, which
ought to be fair pay. and the net profit
would be from SO to S13 on every team
employed. Surprising, in the busy sea-
son, dozen teams were employed, then
this transfer agent might pocket his
800 day clear profit.
We presume these professors" know
what they are taking about, and the
publication of such an array of facts, fig
ures and arguments. may result in re-
storing to them the privilege of handling
their own freight at Dunleith.
But we cannot refrain from comparing
the situation of this city gander with our
country goose-or, figures aside, the
merchants and shippers of Dubuque,
with those doing business along the lire
of the D. d S. G. R. R.
| The change proposed by the Illinois
Central Railroad Company gives Du-
buque the same facilities that have been
granted heretofore to the towns west of
Dubuque, which goes to prove that In
dependence, Cedar Falls and the other
towns have, for a long time, been paying
tribute to this so-caled transfer agent"
at the rates above granted. This has
been done, perhaps, without full knowl-
edge Of the facts, or at least from neces
sity, for it is hardly orthodox In these
parts to question any bills we have to pay,
either for "ransfer agents" or other
wise. The facts, however, are now pub
lished on the authority of all the leading
houses in Dubuque, and every farmer
can see that his wheat is not only taxed
for the outrageous ferry monopoly in Du
buque, which has been endured till we
are all accustomed to it, but also to fec
"transfer agents" &C., DC.
We will not pursue the subject. 1t is
a notorious fact that the people general
ly are becoming hostile in feeling to Du
buque, from the fact, that they have held
the leading men of that city responsible
for the serious business drawbacks un
der which they have always labored, and
if the professors" do no more by pub
fishing these facts, than to shift that re
sponsibility even in part to other parties
they will have placed themselves in {
better light before the people west o
them, who from location and inclination
are anxious to maintain friendly relations
towards them.

Iowa Troops.

EF The Cd, Sd, 9th, 7th, 9th, 18th,
18th, 18th, 14th, 18th and 10th Regi-
ments of Infantry, and the LIST Cavalry,
of Iowa troops, were in the battle Of Pitts
burg Landing. The first reports of the
battle did not mention them, and here al
home, where we have always looked for
them in the front of the contests in which
they have been engaged, and never fail
ed to find them leading the van glorious
ly, we were compelled to endure for days
doubt and suspense. And when we did
at last hear, on the authority of some
garrulous news monger of the Chicago
press, who deemed it his duty to bespat-
Ter praise over Illinois troops, and to
make havoc of the reputation of those of
other States, we heard that the flag Of
Iowa had traied in dishonor on that field
And although it was said Of the young
est Of her regiments, men who had had
but little drill, and until a few days be-
fore no arms, yet the people of Iowa
would not believe 1t. Then came the re-
vised report that the Iowa troops fought
like tigers. and when we look upon their
mortality lists, we have right tearfully
to claim that it was so. The Chicago
Tribune the first to publish the detrac-
ton, promptly gave the correction, and
in the following pays just tribute to
our brave soldiers:
Young Iowa.
In every fight Iowa bears a distinguished
part. AT Wilson s Greek, at Belmont at Fort
Donelson, at Pittsburg. her gallant sons were
in the thickest of the fray. Brave, willing,
and with rare powers of endurance, they have
made a record for that young State that will
never fade. Nowhere have her men faltered
Nowhere have they filled to claim the post of
danger they have claimed it because it is the
post of honor At Donelson the charge of the
Iowa Second was the browning feat Of the as
sault-the one that elected the highest com
mendations from the superior officers.
At Pittsburg, the Iowa regiments engaged
did nobly AID though in the first onset, part
of these were surrounded and taken prisoners,
they contended against superior numbers and
the disadvantages of ground until their cour-
age was again nobly INDICATED. In the en-
coniums that are heaped upon Indiana and
Illinois, for they too have done pobly, let Iowa,
not less heroic and patriotic, be remembered.
In fact, west of Ohio how shall we discrmin-
ate when we begin to praise !? Where all did
80 well, who shall say who did the most p

ANOTHER SOLDIER DEAD. SO often
do these words fall upon the ear thai
they have become familiarized, and We
scarcely heed them unless brought home
to us by the death of near relatives OIL
cherished friends. We were panied as
our eye fell upon this little paragraph in
the Dubuque Times
Another Soldier Dead-The body of Mr. Jor-
dan of Independence, formerly of the firm OF
Rich d Jordan, publishers of the Indepen-
dence Guardian, passed through this city en-
route to his old place of residence Yesterday
He was a First Lieutenant in Capt. Lees com
pany in the 5th Iowa infantry. He died in
New Madrid of fever. His comrades sent
his remains home for burial"
Few nobler, Drawer. better hearts have
ever been encased in mortal clay than
swelled within the breast Of GEORGE
JORDAN. His actions were always gov
erned by principle, and rarely has any
man enjoyed so universally the esteem
and confidence Of all with whom he came
in contact, either in the business or social
relations of life. No monumental mar
BILE need record his virtues. His memo
ry will be. enshrmedsin living hearts, as
among the many martyrs in the cause
of the Union and the Constitution.

EF- Gen. BEAUREGARD telegraphed
to JEFF DAVIS that he achieved a great
victory over the Federal troops at Pitts
burg Landing, and at the very time OF
sending the dispatch, sent to the Union
camp flag Of truce begging the priv
ilege Of hunting for the body Of his com
mander. in chief and of burying his dead.
That's queer idea of victory. where tho
Boosting viotors leave the field in such a
hurry as to leave their dead behind
them, and then beg of the vanquished
the privilege Of burying them.

fully recompensed my sadness with his Joys my

then will it appear love indeed. We employ rot
his love, and therefore we know it not. Let us
be faithful, and care for our own part, which is
to do and suffer for him and lay Christ's part
on himself, and leave it there. Duties are ours,
events are Gods. When our faith goeth to

nothing TO do there. 1t is our part to let the
Almighty exercise his own office. -RuTHERFoRD
