RENDITION OF FUGITITES.

Congress has passed and President
Lincoln approved ola new Article OF
War forbidding our soldiers and officers
from obeying the Constitution of the
I. S. under penalty of being dismiss
ed from the service. tits as follows:
"All officers or persons in the military or
naval service ofthe United States are prohlo-
tied from employing any of the forces under
their respective commands for the purpose OF
returning fugitives from service or labor who
may have escaped from any persons to whom
such service or labor is claimed to be due; any
officer who shall be found guilty by q Court
Martial of violating this article Of war, shall
be dismissed from the service y
We remember to have seen an old
and musty document known as the
Constitution, Art. ~, Section 3,
clause three, to which class of old
fogies, otherwise known as Democrats
have felt it not only Il duty, but Il
privilege to yield an implicit obedience.
Its language is this:
''No Person held to service or Labor in one
State, under the laws thereof, escaping into
another shall in consequence of any law or
regulation therein be discharged from such
service or labor but shall be delivered up on
claim of the Party to whom such service or
labor may be due"
If our law makers mean by ''return-
ing fugitivcs" delivering them up on
claim of the party, to whom their serv-
ice or labor may be due, as return
under this new war article, then the
enactment is as much in conflict with
the Constitution of the United States
as their Personal Liberty Bills were,
and will be as potent in prolonging, as
those obnoxious measures were instru-
mental in bringing on the present re-
bellion.
We care not whose sanction the
measure has, fit is designed to prevent
the observance of the Constitution by
the men called out to protect and en-
force that sacred instrument, the en-
actment is not only unconstitutional,
but all those engaged in enacting the
law are traitors that justly deserve the
cxecration of mankind.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAR
TIES

The difference between the Republican
and Democratic Parties on a vital question is
that the Republican Party is opposed to the
Rebellion of Secession while the Democratic
Party is opposed to the Rebellion of Abolition
ism and Secessonism and to all other isms
which aim to subvert or nullify the Constitu-
ton. Let this important fact be borne in
mind in all discussions between Democrats
and others. The Democratic Party is loyal
to the Constitution and will defend it from
every assailaut; the Republican Party will
detend it only from the assaults Of one class of
its enemies The Democratic Patty respects
and conforms to all the restraints and obliga-
tons of the Constitutions the Republican
Party conforms to and will respect only such
of its restraints and obligation as it is its will
and interest to respect. These are the dis
tinguishing characteristic traits Of these two
parties, one respecting the Constitution as the
Supreme Law, the other obeying in prefer.
ence Party Platform or the opinion of an
Individual as the Higher Law.
Reader, which of these Parties is it safe to
trust in the Administration of Government q

Pea Ridge, Ark. -Nerch 10th 1862.
FRIEND MEAD:
You will probably hear of the battle of
Pea Ridge before this letter reaches you. but
thinking it would be OF considerable interest
to the friends Of great many that belonged
to Company 81" of the 9th Iowa, thought
would drop you few lines in order that they
could ascertain the facts, and not rely upon
rumors ofother newspapers
On Thursday the 9th we left Cross Hollow
and retreated about IL miles in the night. On
Friday about eleven o'clock we were taken
from Camp and drawn up in limo of battle
and in few minus the Connonading could
be heard on both sides of us; for the enemy,
during the night, had almost surrounded US.
At about halfpast eleven the Iowa Ninth,
Iowa Fourth, and the Missouri Twenty Fifth,
faced about l., 900 rebels, and fought about
seven hours, keeping their position the whole
time. The firing ceased about O'Clock and
the Iowa Ninth sleep on their arms all night
On the morning Of the 9TH and about, 7
O'Clock, A. NJ, the battle again commenced,
but the Iowa Ninth were kept in reserve, for
Gen Sigcl hadre-intorced us with about 10.
600 men, canons &c, and before noon, the
rebels were flying IN every direction, leaving
their arms &c, behind. Our loss on the I'm
ion side, is estimated ut 100, and on the reb-
Ell side at 1900, giving us Il complete victory.
Our Lieut.. Colonel. was taken prisoner.
He was brave man.
The Iowa Ninth showed themselves to be
brave men they were the first regiment in
the field, and stood through the hottest fire
that there was in the whole battle. Company
''P stood up like men, and Lieut. Fellows
deserves great credit for the bravery he
showed in conducting his Company through
the engagement; also Lieut.. lnman Our
Orderly Sergt. Corbin also showed great cour-
age. Lieut. Fellows had the top OF his cap
shot off by ball, and also his sword shot
away, but was not wounded at all.
We have taken great many prisoners.
In Company ''I' there wer 10, killed and
wounded, and in order that their friends may
know who they were will give their names.
(Having published the list of names last
week we omit them here. Our correspon-
don't makes no changes therein Ed P d.
In the whols regiment there were 24o killed
and wounded The Iowa Ninth lost more
men than any regiment ia the field. We are
ali ready now for another battle THAT is what
there is cttG but whether we will have an.
other one soon, is not known.
Hoping that these few lines will be of con-
sidera bic Interest to you and others, | will
leave you and return to other duties

The stories that the cannon at Man
assas were manufactured of wood prove
to be abolition lies, put in circulation to
aid in affecting the removal of General
Mcclellan from his command But
fortunately the abolition traitors in Con-
gress were prevented from carrying
their scheme into effect by the moral
force of bomb shell from Gen. Burn
side, officially announcing the result Of
his expedition and it's success so far as
the programme had been acted upon.
He says. ;3 u.a yU&
Il beg to say to the General commanding
the army that have endcavored to carry out
the very minute instructions given me by him
before leaving Annapolis and thus far events
have been singularly coincident with his an
ticipations. only hope that we may in flu
ture be able to carry out the remaining plans
Of the campaign. The only thing have to
regret is the delay caused by the elements"

THE TRIBUNE INTERDICTED.

The Ne,c York Tribune has again
been denied a circulation among the
men marshalled together to defend the
Constitution and uphold the Govern
mcnt. The order to this effect was is
sued last week by the President, and
is similar in effect to the order of Gen.
Scott last summer, issued with the ap-
prevail of the Executive. This just and
deserved rebuke to this sheet comes
from the administration of it's own elect
ing-from the executive who is lending
all his energies to suppress the rebellion.
1t is to be seen now how many men
throughout the North are ready to stand
by the administration and discard the
Tribune and it's reasonable doctrines.
1t would seem to us, however, that
if that sheet is sufficiently reasonable
to justify the President in excluding it
from the army, it should also be ex-
cluded from the mails. If the Tribune
is loyal, Lincoln is tyrant, and If Lin
coin is a patriot, then the Tribune
is fulminator of treason. The wor-
Slippers of Greedy can take either horn
of the dilemma.

That arch traitor, Wendell Phillips,
was mobbed in Cincinnati while en-
deavoring to repeat his address assail-
ing the Constitution. He tried to re-
hearse the same reasonable sentiments
to a Chicago audience few nights
since with what success, we are not
informed. The people Of Chicago, if
they are loyal, should have arrested
and confined him at Camp Douglas with
the rebel prisoners he is as vile a
