A CAUSE OF CoNsRArULATIoS-The Democrs.
tic party Of Iowa is small and daily becoming
more so. To an observer it would seem that
no party could pursue SO deliberate plan to
secure self.destruction as the leaders Of chat
once powerful organization which can boast of
successful control of the national admnistrs-
ton for so years, are now adopting Every man
who has horror Of treason recoils with an in
stinct of disgust from the Nahoney dictation
which is sinking that party so deep that the
Eternal Power will never resurrect it from the
tomb of the things that we're, bat are not.
1t must grieve the loyal citizens to see that so
respectable minority lin point of numbers) a.
the democracy of Iowa now boast Of should
take 80 suspicious position in regard to the
war. In another point of view it is . matter of
eongratulation The men who wish to clear their
skirts of any apparent collision with uhe rebel
lion, will unanimously range themselves in OPP
position to the ticket and resolutions which Will
be adopted by the pro-slavery State Convention,
thus securing the ultimate and speedy overthrow
of the political organization whose fealty 70 the
government is doubted by eli loyal ci.izena--

From the South.Wess.

WASHINGTON, June 26-Flag officer Davis
has reported concerning the expedition up the
White river, that after the accident to the
Mound City, the wounded were shot by the ene-
my while in the water. and adds that the Navy
Department and the country will contrast the
barbarities of savage enemy with the humane
efforts made by our people to rescue the wound
ed and disabled, under similar circumstances, in
the engagement of the 9th.
Several soldiers who expired shortly after the
engagement, expressed their willingness to die,
when they we're told the victory was ours.
Flag Officer Farragut communicates to the
Navy Department the report of our encounter
between our gunboats in the Mississippi and the
enemy at Grand Gulf, Natchez and Vicksburg.
A boat was sent down to bring up several YES
sells from near that point, and discovered earth.
works in the vicinity of West Junction. The
Isasca and Wishicon were sent down to recon.
hotter They found battery of rifled guns and
force of some 500 artillerists ready to receive
them.
A vigorous fight ensued. The Itasca was
struck 25 times and the Wisahicon II. They
however lost but one man killed and six wound.
ed. The fort being too strong an obstacles to
have in the rear of the boats, Commander Pal.
mer, serving at that Point, decided to bring the
remainder of the squadron there and finish the
business. On the afternoon Of the 18th, he
dropped down abreast with the squadron, and
shelled the town for an hour, but they deserted
their batteries and with the exception of few
rife shots, manifested no resistance.
Commander Palmer says the nights are filed
with riaemen, and if they give him any more
annoyance he shall burn the town.

mond to the Times says that Gen. Mcclellan is
bringing up from Yorktown, seige guns, some OF
which have already arrived.
The rebels show no disposition to assume the
offensive again in force, but are evidently pre-.
pairing to resist an attack. Their occasional
demonstrations, like those of Saturday, might
seem intended to draw US into an attack, but
hey have no General who is capable OF making
Mcclellan fight until he gets ready, nor Of max.

IN RICHMOND.
The Richmond Examiner of the 10th has a
report of the proceedings of the City Council,
from which We have news of the state of affairs
in the rebel capital. The President of the Coun-
Gil said "There was but one railroad upon which
we could rely for transportation, the others being
in the hands OF the enemy, and on that road, the
Danyillei was impossible to get freight brought,
the government having every car upon it fully
employed IN government transportation. Some
means, therefore, for relieving the wants of the
city must be devised, or the poorer classes would
suffer actual starvation"
The Rev. DR.. Jeter, who was invited to be
present, made speech, in which he referred to
the e1orbitant prices commanded by provisions,
while the country around was filled with the
necessaries of life, which, for want of transpor-
tation, we're shut out from market.
The doctor said that if countrymen brought
provisions to the city it took them all day to
procure passport to leave town. A member
of the Council called its attention to the multi
tude Of strange young men who, without visible
means of support, loafed idly about the corners
of the principal streets, and introduced reso
luton to the effect that they leave the city,
where they only lived to deyour food and do no
good. A member hoped the resolution would
