They had an Iowa Democratic" State Con-
vention at Des MOines, few days ago. We
believe the illustrious George w. Jones stald
away to enjoy, with modest coyness, the =" lush
ing honors' of his lately published toad-eating
letter to "Hon. Jefferson Davis. President,
&C., Montgomery. Ala," but his trusty COL
league in the U. S. Senate. Augustus C9sar
Dodge, was at hand, with most OF the Demo-
cratic editors and other magnates. The usual
string of double dealing resolves was passed,
saving the Union must be maintained, and that
Secession was not tho thing, but reservlng all
their wrath for "Radicals" and Abotionsts."
One of the leaders-Clsgett OF keOkuk-
made speech, from which We find the iol-
lowing extract in Western cotemporary:

We must say that We think Massachusetts
deserves a little--s very litte-of this rsproach.
Nearly twenty years age, she learned that her
citizens of dark or copper complexion were
habitually imprisoned and exposed to be sold
into Slavery by South Carolina, when visiting
or touching Mt Charleston in her blameess ves-
sells; so she scut fully accredited Comms-
sioner to that city to test, BY legal proceed
ngs in the Federal Courts, tho constitutional
right of any State to decree such imprisonment
ard sale. That Commissioner was not permit
ted 10 bring any suit, nor do any act tending
to establish the iilegallty Of the outrage 10
question, but was fVlth-ith driven by mob vi
olence from the State, under penalty OF death.
Had Massachusetts resented and resisted that
outrage as became her history and her pri-
no further than merely 70 say, " Until South
Carolina permits me TO test her constitutional
right u imprison my citizens by an amicable
suit in the Supreme Court, will surrender to
her no more fugitive sayes"-wc believe this
war might have been ayerted. But she tamely
truckled to her assailant-shc meskly pock-
eted the outrage on her representative and the
mpudent denial of her rights--and thus m-
bued the whole South with the notion that she
aud the whole North would stand any insult
any wrong, for the sake of the Southern trade;
and, thus embroidered in pg-doiog, the
Slave Power pressed on from outrage TO out
rage till usurpation eliminated in desperate
and bloody rebellion. But Massachusetts is
now nobly atoning for her bygcne subseryiency
to arrogant, domineering wrong.

HOW TO STRENGTHEN TnB UNION

The Albany argus thinks-we mean sage
the Union cause would be greatly strengthened
by giving assurance to the Rebels that, como
what may-let them be traitors, thieves, and
murderers to the last-tbeir cherished "inN-
tuition" in whose behalf they have made war
upon their country, shall not DO harmed. Says
The Argus:
May we not ell stand the platform OF the Consi

ssent in urging Negro Emancipation crusade consent "

see that it i, invincibIe. Let it now escape
the lust punishment of ito treason, and there
is far greater probability OF its re-sstaoli'h'

South Carolina.
If there be o single person VINO honestly

Emancipation policy would tend to strengthen

In the House of Commons, another interesting de-

news received in France from Mexico vas regarded

idea of the National unity is making progress every
day: and a great National Shooting Match, at

and what room they did not occupy packed
with white spectators, and you can see the
company on that day. Heat, however. and
profuse Precipitation, will soon tell on negroes,
and it did tell here most fearfuly. 1t was
not long before the dear sisters from Boston
began to search for their pocket handker-
chiefs, and such general motion to the nasaI
organs was scarcely, if ever before seen
They made the discovery that there was at
least ONE difference between white men and
negroes too, that could be determined by
person who had lost all of his seven senses
except one-that of smell
| believe these missionaries propose to
cultivate the plantations; but if there is no
cotton raised until they do it, it will be a
long time before the exports of Port Royal
will be extensive. They are without the first
practical knowledge of anything, much less
OF cotton cultivation. The fellow Pearce is
as ignorant as he is conceited, and he is
a sample of the whole lot. They are the
laughing stock of all the officers and SOL
diers.
Depend opon it, all efforts to change the
negro, short of re creating him, are worse
than useless, and these silly people who have
come down here will soon fin. it out. Al.
ready they are quarrelog among themselves.
The women declare the men are spooneys,
in fact no men at all. To use the expressr
ion of one indignant feminine Of the compa-
nv speaking of them, five would not make
one decent man." The record of their ca,
reer here will be record Of blunders
They are on a FOOLS errand, and the sooner
they 90 home and attend to the wants and
administer to the necessities of their own
white sisters, the greater credit it will be to
them. Of the vice and icentiousness, and
shapeessness of the negroes here, l will
not speak. Their religion consists of
words-words- words-whIe their acts be-
tray such want of moral perception as to
shock humanity. They need and must Lave
master, to restrain, guide and care for
them Now, they are becoming rapidly de-
moraized, and can see vast decline in
them since we first landed here. There is
now no steady hand over them. but kicked
and cuted by one, preached to by others,
and taught the idea that no one has any
right to control them, it will not be long be
fore this place will be a pandemonum on
earth. If the Administration desire to do a
sensible thing, it will order these pslam sing
ing male and female Gdeonites to pack up
and go home at once. Then put the planta
tions under the control of some practical
men, and let them have the negro's services
upon the same terms as their masters enjoy
ed them. In this way something might be
done; but as it is. the whole matter is such
a stupendous farce that one can only say:
ITO laugh may show want Of goodness and
grace.

Sweet Witnesses.

SO hard pressed were the Republicans to
find sufficient evidence to prove the disioyaty
of Judge Hardy, that they brought forward
one Morrill, as a witness, who acknow wedged
in the presence Of the whole Court. that he
had been prosecuted by Hardy, while District
Attorney of Sacramento county, for stealing
fruit trees; that he did steal the trees, but
was acquitted by the ruling Of the Court that
the trees partook of the nature of realty,
and therefore the stealing was not a crime
under the law. A disinterested, unprejudic
ed, honorable witness! The immaculate
patriots, who were engaged in the prosecu
ton, from Al. Dudley down to Edgerton,
then brought forward another distinguished
witness named Frank Maynard, to prove that
Hardy had used disloyal language in his
presence This Maynard testified that he
was Republican in politics and excessively
loyal and patriotic and upright. Fortunate
ly for 1.-THE truth of history" unfortunately
for those who called him on the witness
stand, he is somewhat known in our county.
The records of our county show that this
same Frank Maynard--this convenient and
irreproachable witness-who has reason tC
hate Judges, was convicted of grand larceny
on the lth day of June, $50, and sentenc
ed to one year in the State prison; and the
State prison records show that he served out
his full term and was never pardoned. On
the evidence of Morrill, and Maynard, both
inadmissib ble the high old Republican Court
of impeachment convicted Judge Hardy of
disIoyalty. A pretty piece Of work for men
claiming responsibility to be engaged in!-
With such witnesses what could they not
prove9 This shows to what lengths Repub'
licans carry political prescription in this free,
liberal and enlightened age9

REBEL CoINAeE.-The rebel Congress has
been amusing itself with the invention of a
new series of coins. The Charleston Couri-
er gives this account: "The basis of inte-
grail limit of value proposed for our currency
is the star-whch is to be divided into 100
equal parts, each part to be called centime,
namely: 10 centlnes one tropic; 10 tropics,
star; 10 stars, one sol. These denomina'
tions have been selected for our currency for
three reasons: First, they are appropriate
to ourselves as a people; second, they are
embems of cheerfuness, honor, honesty of
purpose, solidity and stability; and third, the
words used are simple, easily remembered,
and are common to several Languages.

in length, for the accommodation Of the
"Amercan River Cobble Stone Company"

waiting for purchasers, who no doubt are
abundant at the present time, when so many
improvements are going on in our streets.
Besides the amount on the wharf, vessel is
now lying off the wharf, laden down with ".
another cargo to be landed to-day. This
business is a hourishing one, and if the

when planked streets will be remembered as
one of the follies Of the past.

Sickness in Gen. Halleck's Army.


The Pittsburg Landing correspondent Of
the Chicago Times says:
1t is impossible for any person not familiar
with the facts to realize the extent of sick
ness to which our men have been subjected.
An idea of its result may be obtained by
computing the strength of the different
regiments, as compared with their original
numbers. Those who have seen our brave
soldiers march from home in battle array,
with banners flying and ranks filled to the
utmost limit, seeing no evidence of change,
and hearing but tithe of the truth, can
know little of the real fact This, as it ex'
lists, is appalling, for ont of the two hundred
and more regiments now composing General
Haleck's command at this place, there is
probably not one which can muster six hun
dred effective men to enter the battle field.
There arc many which cannot take one hum
dred and fifty men into service. These are
the regiments however, which we're most
severely handled at Fort Donelson, with
severe sickness in the interval between that
event and the battle at this place.
Some of the regiments which suffered
most at Fort Donelson encountered the same
fate here, as for instance, the Eleventh Iii.
nois, which was reduced one half by sickness
during the succeeding two months, and was
again lessened in the same proportion at
this battle. The regiment now consists OF
hundred and sixteen men, all told. There
are many regiments which have but two and
three hundred, and the majority will not
number above FIVE hundred. The rest are IN
the hospitals between here and home, or in
the grave. The Thirteenth Michigan reg''
ment, without having fought battle, mum,
bers but five hundred effective men, and 1t
has not Jared worse than most others.
