A College Land Grant

The bill just passed Congress makes
magnificent donation of public lands to tn
Estates for the purposes of agricultural an,
mechanical schools. Thirty thousand acre
of land are given for each Senator and Repre-
sentative in Congress This will give 800,
600 acres Of land to Iowa, az the presen
House stands, or 240, 900 acres according to
the basis of the next House. We do moi
know under which apportionment the dona.
ton is made, but it ought to be under
that ofthe next Congress, as that will be
based on the present population of the States.
| Whichever is the rule, Iowa will secure q
magnificent gift for our young agricultu, al
school. putting it on firm basis, and era
bling it to furnish scientific education TO
all who may desire it.
Friend MAH1N II answer your inquiry as
to the fact Of the land grant, the notice Of
which you clipped from some paper, by say
ing it is true.
The bill, as it finally passed both houses of
Congress, was forwa' ded to me by the po-
liteness Of Senator Harlan. 1t grants 10000
acres of land for each senator and represen-
tative in Congress to which the States are
respectively entitled by the apportionment
uuder the census of 1860. think there can
be no doubt about the question which your
paragraph raises, as to the five or six Repre-
sentatives in this appropriation, and Iowa
will be entitled 24o, 900 acres, instead of l20,-
900. So finally, our farmers college, after a
heavy. slow, firm and persevering drag Of
several years, has now better prospects ahead,
and will eventually be one of the most rich
ly endowed institutions in the State.
Allow me here to state that DR.. Evan
Pugh, President of the farmers college, Pa.
informed me that they are this year enlar-
g'ng their college building very considerably,
which will enable them to receive students
out Of their own State, which has not been
the case heretofore. Who among the young |
men of Iowa will embrace this rare oppor-
unity to so to that institution and learn the |
science and profession of agriculture, and re-
turn and become teachers in ours ?

For the Journal

Mr.. EDITOR: have noticed that on NOR,
than one occasion you have found fault with
Adjutant General Baker for his action in max
ing Clinton the place of rendezvous of thu
regiments now being raised in this State.
think that in these complaints you have done
Gen. Baker injustice.
Your ground of complaint against Gen. B
is that of extra and unnecessary expense ac
cruing to the State from this action. Now
the fact is that the opposite is the truth, fol
many reasons. One is, that Clinton being the
residence Of Gen. B. he is enabled to cut of
the extra expense of travel, hotel bills, Office
rent, and host Of other incidentals, all o1
which must be paid by the State, and is able
with the aid of single assistant to do more
efficiently and with less expense the whole
work belonging to the raising and equippine
of the troops called for than he could possibly
do elsewhere Any one who has had expert
ence in transacting important business away
from and at home can realize the force of this
in furnishing quarters to the troops at Gin
ton when they are already standing in Da
venport. This is answered by the fact thai
the United States government has furnished
tents for the regiment, which are now on the
ground, ready to receive all the troops rem
dezvousing at Clinton.
But the great complaint of all is the extrs
cost Of transporting the regiment from Daven
port to Clinton. This would be so but fol
one reason-that is, that Clinton is nearer thu
center of the State, on the river, than Daven
port, and more acceptable, more convenient
and nearer to the territory from which a ma
/ jority of the regiment now being formed is
principally drawn thus really saving expense
to the State in transportation instead of in
creasing it.
Gen. Baker has been entrusted by thu
Governor with the responsible duty of rails
ing and equipping this regiment, and sucf
has been the energy, activity and ability dis
played by him that it now, in the short space
of two months, is the best furnished ant
equipped regiment that has gone from thi
State.
Your valuable paper having an extensive
circulation have thought your articles calcu
lated to do injustice to Gen. B., as well as t.
injure the cause in which we are all engaged
NV single motive in this article is that justic
NAV be done to al[concerned. H.J.C.

eW- Howell Cobb, the bullying rebel briga-
der, said to one of our officers in recent
flag -of-truce interview, that previous to the
order of Gen. Butler in regard to the New Or
leans women, the gulf between the North and
South was not unfathomable; but that order
had made the gulf deeper than hell, and
broader than eternity!' He said he had just
read it to his troops under his command, and
that it had touched 'the most secret springs
on the one hand, and revenge on the other,
and that noso there could be no Union" "
There wiu be Union, Howell Cobb-your
neck with halter. Mark that!

100000 More Troops.

In circular letter, dated July /, addressed
to number Of Governors of the loyal States
who had urged the President to call out suf-
hcient number of troops "to speedily crush.
the rebellion" he states that he has decided
to call into the service an additional force of
300, 900 men, chiefly infantry. We presume
the quota of Iowa, under this call, will be
three or four regiments.

In these times when there appears to be an
organized faction arraying itself on the side Of
slavery, and marshalling its forces for cam
paign in favor Of protecting the so-called
rights of the rebels, it might perhaps be well
to ascertain at the outset whether persons in
arms against the Government have any rights
which, of necessity, must be respected by the
Government so attacked. All of the States
whom now claim to be portion of the
Southern Confederacy formally declared
themselves independent sovereignties, between
which and the Government of the United
States there existed no connection whatever
This they clearly had no right to do. The
territory embodied in those States was un-
der the jurisdiction Of the government of the
United States, which embraces in its for
nation the people of every State, and with
out the consent of a majority of the people
through Congress that territory could never
be taken out of the Union The territory
then yet remains in the possession of the
Federal government as territory.
The citizens of the revolted States, by their
own acts, have destroyed the privileges hith-
erto enjoyed while living under the govern
ments of their respective States. The idea
that State cannot revert back to the con-
dition of territory is erroneous. The Con-
stitution contains certain regulations which
must be respected and obeyed by the States.
It provides that the Executive officers of
every State must take an oath to support
the Constitution of the United States There
is not State in the Confederacy whose Of
fcers have sworn to support the Constitution
of the United States, or the Federal govern
ment. Ifthe Constitution of the United States
is law higher than the Constitutions of the
separate States, an infringement of its provis
ions must result in the destruction of the
State government. If the State of South Car
olina has no officer sworn to support the Con-
stitution, she has no officers who are legally
holding their positions. Without officers she
is without State government. Without
State government, she ceases to be a State,
and is consequently nothing but territory,
for which the government ofthe United States
must furnish officers and make laws
That Congress has the right and power to
legislate for the territories is undeniable and
if it has the power to abolish the institution
Of polygamy in Utah it has the right to abolish
the institution of slavery in South Carolina.
In Tennessee military Governor has been
appointed to protect the people of that terri
tory until such time as, the people
can re-organize again a State govern
ernment which will be acceptable to the Con-
gress of the United States. Until that gov
ernment is organized Congress has exclusive
jurisdiction. A military government is now
necessary as the State is in danger of invasion
by hostile forces. When peace is again de-
clared territorial and then State govern
ment may be organized, provided it contains
nothing inimical in its constitution to the
provisions of the Federal constitution.
