Iowa Hospital for the Insane.

At the late annual injecting Of the Trus'
tees Of this Institution, Mr.. George Jos
selyn and Mrs. 6. Joseslyn were elected
to The offices Of Steward and 'Matron, in
place Of II. Winslow and Mrs. II. Win,
slow, whose term Of office had expired,
and who declined the place for another
year.
Mr.. Winslow has been connected with
the erection Of the Hospital buildings
from the first foundation stone, and now
that his office and salary rs Superinten.
dent of Construction are about to termi.
nate by the substantial completion of this
vast structure, he retires from the Instisu
ton. The establishment will remain o
lasting sonument to Mr.. Wiuslow's skill,
ability aud fidelity in the execution of an
important punlic trust. Mr.. Winslow re.
tires from the Institution bearing with
him the fullest confidence, and the kind
wishes Of the remaining officers, as well
i ss The public, whose faithful servant he
has been. Other States, having important
public buildings to erect, will yet avail
themselves Of his enlarge dexpeiiencs and
practical ability in his profession.
The hospital is now fully 10 successful
operation. During tbe short period since
its opening it has admitted nearly 300 in
sane patients, and during the last twelve
months $50 patients have been under care
aud treatment. a majority Of these, it is
painful to record having become chronic
aud incurable from long neglected treat
ment. Daring The year, 4! have tecn re-.
stored to health, ani home, and friends,
and others are improving with good pros.
poets. The results of treatment in this
Institution are equally favorable with those
Of any other similar hospital in this Or
any other country.

In the, days Of the Inquisition it was
only necessary for some malicious inform,
er to whisper in. the ears Of one clothed
in sacerdotal robes the talismanic word
heretic,' to consign anunsuspicious vic
tim to torture. Imprisonment and death;
neither virtue, nor patriotism, nor position
OF influence could avail to shield the sus-
pected from the doom that this midnight
tribunal nigh. adiudge. Was one so for
tuna,e as to escape death and come forth
from his dungeon bis lips were sealed, and
to disclose ought that transpired, or to
whisper an accusation against those thro'
whose clemency he had escaped death, was
but to seal irretrievably his fnte. We look
back upon those scenes with horror, and
wonder how any people could have been
so blinded by ignorance and superstition
IS 10 have submitted so long TO this state
Of things, and yet, strange as it may ap-
pear, there has been, even in our day, in
this enlightened age, and in this free
country, q revival Of this same old institu
ton, based upon the same principle, and
possessed of the same essential features.
In the silence Of night hundreds, aye
thousands Of free born Americans guilty
Of no crime, have been torn from their
families, borne to distant prisons, denied
the rights sacredly guaranteed to the
meanese culprit, tina, Of confronting their
accuser and Of answering to the charges
alleged against them. Here, as in Spain Of
olden times. a single word was only needed
to deprive our best men of thei. liberty !;
some vile wretch bad but to charge treason
aud the work was done; now as then there
could be no defense; for friends to inter
pose was but to expose them to like fate !;
now as then they are held in durance vile
at the will aud caprice of those in author.
ity; now as then they must seek no re-
dress for the wrong done them; now, but
not as then. they must bind themselves
under the solemn obligations of All oath
that they will not prosecute those who
have imprisoned :hem Was there ever
more humiliatins confession of guilt
than for the Government to say to pris-
oner, IL will restore you to liberty if you
will swear not to prosecute The remark
of Gov. Seymour was strictly true when
be declared that the Administration was
drunk with power ;" the madness and i'm.
becility of drunkenness have signally char
acterized the war measures Of our Gov
ernmen.. But day of reconing is at
hand; the American people have not yet
become SO degenerate as quietly to subs
nit to the same acts Of usurpstion that
forced our fathers to assert and maintain
their iualiensble rights. The voice Of warn
ing has been already heard in thunder
tones from the great States Of our Union,
declaring in unmis,akable language tina.
while the people are willing to peril their
lives, and contribute their means to sup.
press the rebellion, and restore the Union,
they will not allow the sacred guarantees
Of the Constitution and laws to be violated.

SUNNI AIRY or WAR NEWS.

The movements which the telegraph
has announced during the present week
are OF the utmost Importance.
On the 18th inst. Burnside commenced
the construction of ponto2n bridges over
the Rappahannock. When about half
completed the rebels opened murderous
FIRE, upon which all our guns were ordered
to open upon Fredericksburg. The brid-
ges were completed--cur forces crossed
over and took fredericksburg without
serious loss. The rebels are in full force
in the immediate vicinity and strongly
intrenched. Severe skrmishing is Of con
slant occurrance. On the 18th an engage.
ment occurred without decisive results,
although characterized BY the most te, rife
fighting and attended with heavy loss on
both sides Of officers and men There is
no longer any question but that ON to
Richmond is to be the order of the day.
Every inch of ground will be fiercely con.
tested, and there will be an immense
sacrifice Of life, but Richmond will TALL or
Burnsides army will be literally nnnihi-
lated. To retreat now and attempt to re.
cross the river with victorious army in
pursuit would be fatal.
Important movements have been made
in North Carolina which indicate an ad
vance eff our forces toward Richmond
from the South. ....
In the West, Gen. Grant has had a
heavy engagement with the rebels at Gre.
NADIA, totally routing them, and is pnshng
his forces on toward Jackson the taking
Of which will compel the evacuation Of
Vicksburg. Altogether the indications are
decidedly favorable.
LATEsr.-Burnside has recrossed the
Rappahauock with his entire force, having
sustained a loss on the south side of some
5000 men. -.5'
Banks is reported as advancing towards
Richmond from the South with a large
force. The cisis approaches, and we have
an abiding faith that Richmond will
speedily fall

STRrNGY CABBAGEs.-TheP Post has the
following joke of hard case - who
WAS accustomed 10 coming home late al
night in a state" and taking a cold
bite, which was usually set out for him
by his kind and forglving wife.
One night. besides the usual dish OF
cabbage and pork, she left wash bowl
filled with caps and starch. The lamp
had long been extingushed when the
staggering sot returned home. and by
mistake, when proceeding TO satisfy his
hunger. he stuck his fork into the wrong
dish. He worked away al his moulhful
of caps for some time. but being unable
10 masticate EN- he sung out 10 his
wife
Ufd woman, whore did YOU ge; your
cabbages they are SO stringy CAM

Popping Corn.

And there they sat popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutler
John Stiles as stout as any OK,
And Susan fat as butter.
Ard there they sat and shelled the corn,
And raked and stirred the fire,
And talked of different kinds of ears,
And hitched their chairs up higher
Then Susan she the pepper shook,
Then John he shook the pepper,
Till both their faces grew as red
AS saucepans made of copper.
And then they shelled and popped and ate,
And kinds Of fun a-poking,
And he haw hawed at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped, and still they ate,
(John's mouth was like hopper,)
And stirred the fire, and sprinkled salt,
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine the clock struck ten, /,
And still the corn kept popping;
1t struck eleven, and then struck twelve,
And still no signs of stopping.
And John he ate, and Sue she thought
And corn did pop and patter,
Till John cried out, 81 the corn's afire !!
Why, Susan, what's the matter p
Said she, John Stiles. it's one o'clock
You'll die of indigestion
I'm sick of all this popping corn
Why don't you pop the Question p
