WHAT THEY TELL IN THE COUN.
s-f 81 Eas TRY.

A gentleman opposition and veracity, whose
name will permit his statement to 60 unqucs-
toned, informs us that Mahony sent to Capt
Bowman, the editor of the Vallandigham or
gan At Cedar Falls, on Wednesday last, let
ter reading as follows:
o"NcCietlan is surrounded, and ual be at
tackled and cut to pieces in a ,fe,c days.
This get by private dispatch. You
will not get it in the papers. READ IT TO
NONE BUT THE FAITHFUL !'-Indepe,a-
denee Guardian.
The gentleman Of position" occupies the
position Of an unmitigated liar, whose "ver-
scity" is Just as good as any States prison
convict's and no better Mr. Mahony has
written no letter of any kind to Captain Bow
man, and "the gentleman whose name will
permit his statement to go unquestioned,
don't dare to let it see the light of day in
connection with the charge. 1t is sad thing
be made the medium Of such infamous false
hoods.-DuJuque Herald. .
Mr. Mahony was at Des Moines, when that
denial was penned, and Hutchins has taken
the liberty to deny what he knows nothing
about, and to charge with falseheod a man
whom every citizen Of Dubuque County
knows to be infinitely above either Hutchins
or Mahony in every element of truth, honor
or decency. How dare Hutchns say that
Mahony never wrote a letter to Bowman p
Does he pretend to Knowledge Of everything
Mahony does or does not do? He will find
it sadder thing than publishing country
newspaper to guarantee the loyalty of daily
one, when that one is the Dubuque Herald
and that editor Dennis A. Mahony. That
gentleman heard the letter read and read by
Bowman himself, and said he had not forgot
ten syllable or even comma, so deep an
impression did 1t make on him. We will
give our authority whenever Mahony or Bow
man denies the charge and demands It'll

For Clerk OF the District Court,
DEMP. j. COLEMAN,
LATEST NEWS.

There is rather dearth Of news nowadays.
The week throughout has been exceedingly
dry in this respect, and last nights mail
brought us but little of interest.
The report Of the appointment of Major
General w. II. Halleck as Commander in
Chief Of the United States Army is confirmed.
Gen. Haleck is now in Washington.
From Washington we have the following
highly important official order: ...
.... WAR DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON, July ~, 1862 I
1st. Ordered, That military commanders
within the States of Virginia, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas, in an or
derry manner seize and use any property,
real or personal, which may be necessary or
convenient for their several commands, for
supplies or for other military objects, and
that while property may be destroyed for
proper military objects, Eone shall be de-
stroyed in wantonnesS or malice.
I'd. Ordered, That military and naval
commanders shall employ, as laborers within
and from said States, as many Of African de-
scent as can be advantageously used for mil
itary and naval purposes, giving them rea-
sonable wages for their labor. '..2
I'D. Ordered, That as to both property
and persons of African descent accounts shall
be kept sufficiently accurate and in detail to
show quantities and amounts, and from whom
both property and such persons shall have
come, as basis upon which compensation
can be made in proper cases, and the several
departments shall attend to and perform their
appropriate parts toward the execution of
these orders.
BY order Of the President. ....s.. LEO
EDWIN NJ. STANTON
Secretary Of Var.
By proclamation Of the Governor of Miss
ouri, we see that the entire militia of that
State has been called out to put down the
Guerrillas.
The rebels have cut the Geographic wires
between Jackson, Tenn, and Memphis de-
stroying our communication with the latter
place. Some fears of an attack on Cairo are
entertained. E..
TIE war spirit in the West IS running
pretty high. In Chicago on Tuesday morn
ing the muster roll Of the Board of Trade
Battery was opened, and by o'clock in the
afternoon the full compliment OF 154 men had
been enlisted. st ... g..

A PLAIN CONFESSION.

The Democrat in its leader yesterday says:
"Extreme legislation has been had upon
the subject of Slavery, and the confscation
bill has become law. If FIVE held the doc
trinc that the people havea right to rebel for
just cause or otherwise, we should advo-
cate immediate rebellion because of the many
unjust and unconstitutional enactments of
the past session." t -fr 100. 49,. .'
So it seems that there is only one thing
that keeps the editor of the Northeast Demo
crat from going heart and hand into rebellion
against the Government the United States,
and that is, he does not believe in the right
Of revolution by force Of arms. The editor
will hardly be successful We opinc in dem
onstrating to any considerable portion of his
readers that the right of revolution does not
exist; but he may satisfy his own mind that
though he has no right to fight against his
country, he has right to denounce it in
outrageous, though not ambiguous, terms
to his full satisfaction. Nothing more true
in Scripture than the declaration that No
man can serve two masters-he will either
love the one and hate the other, or cling to
the one and dispise the other" 81. .... III

From the Chicago Journa

From the Chicago Journal.
The democrats" of Iowa met in conven-
ton at Des Moines, on Thursday last For.
~ out Of ninety counties were representa-"
(Y) by delegates. Among the prominent in.
dividuals present as participants were Angus
tus Caesar Dodge, Mahony Of the Dubuque
Herald, and Claggett, of Keekuk An extract
from the speech of the latter parsonage will
show the character of the whole concern:
II tell you, gentlemen, there is no use to
blink the facts Of history Massachusetts,
a.onc is responsible for plunging this country
into the horrors Of civil war It was the fac
tious ALolitionism Of that State which com
PEELED the South to assume an attitude Of
armed rebellion. Massachusetts, did it all l.
This war is nothing but raid on the States
Of the South. The Administration at WASH
ington is corrupt from the 1.-THE sole Of its
head to the crown Of its foot y but the De-
mocracy of this country will yet teach Abe
Lincoln and his co-usurpers that the way
Of the trnnsgressor is easy"
The resolutions passed by this precious
conclave Of treason sympathizers are Of the
same style. Just one paragraph is devoted
TO those who are in arms against the Union,
and nearly every line Of the remaining por
ton Of the series makes war upon those who
are endeavoring to uphold the Government
and put down the rebellion. The President
who recommended aud that portion of Con-
gress who voted for the plan of Compensated
Emancipation recommended to thcslave Sites,
are denounced as "Abolitionists" and are put
down upon the same plane of outlines as
the secessionists The arrest and imprison-
mcnt of such traitors as Geo. w. Jones. is
declared to be "most dangerous to civil liber.
ty, and should be resisted at the ballot box
BY every freeman in the land" The FEEDER
al Government is characterized as the espec-
ial possession and exclusive property Of the
white men, and that policy which would seek
to liberate slaves is denounced as a crime -
The resolutions further declare that the pur-
chase Of slaves, as proposed by the President
in order to hasten peace, would impose ian
onereus and uncomfortable burden upon the
present generation" and that the passage Of
the Tax and Tariff bills has imposed unfair
and unjust cnactments upon the people at

1t has become evident that the rebels can
be conquered only by hard blows-blows

purporting to have been written by Mahony
Of the Herald to Bowman Of the Northnest
Democrat was given, is copied by the Herald
and savagely denounced, and the authentici-

Democrat also denies the authenticity Of the
letter, in very strong terms, which will prob
ably call out something further from the

The Times is one Of the most ultra Demo

ward the Southern cause. If such papers
cannot apologize for them, the effort upon
the part of its prototypes in this State must
be hopeless. l.. s..'

desirable reading for Democrats, an invita-

THE NEW IOWA REGIMENTS.

THE NEW IOWA REGIMENTS.
There is great lack Of that prompt and
patriotic effort to raise the additional, troops,
called for from this State which ought to ex-
hibit itself in an emergency Ike the present.
There seems to be none of that enthusiasm
which characterizes the work in most of the
other States. All over the land War Meet
ing are being held for the purpose of stirring
up the patriotism Of the people, and for the
purpose Of adopting measures to expedite the
raising Of troops. The most successful meas.
urc is in raising bounty fund, from which
to pay each recruit liberal bounty. Men
Of wealth can well afford to give literally to
such fund. Gov. Morgan of New York
offers fifty dollars bounty to each recruit
from that State, trusting to the Legislature
in its next meeting to ratify his action. The
effect is that recruiting progresses rapidly
A bounty should at once be offered in every
State to each recruit. In many places vol
unteers are getting bounty as high as one
hundred dollars-asidc from that received
from the Government sg oa ~ ya;
Now some vigorous effort to raise the
troops called for in this State should at once
be made. Let the State to expedite recruit
ing offer to each man enlisting bounty Of
sixty dollars. Where it can be let bounty
fund be raised. Let us wake up, and go to
work with will. Iowa can raise her quota
without drafting single man--now let it be
done. There is one regiment called for from
this (6th) and the 9th District, Is it not
time something was done for its enlistment.
We know that at this season Of the year
in the midst of harvest 1T is difficult I'M
dertaking to recruit men. But that should
not stay effort. Let the work 60 on. The
men must be raised--if not by volunteering
then BY drafting. Let it never be said of
this people that they were the first to be
compelled to bear their portion in the sup
preston of the Shareholders Rebellion. '.gaEa
