exposure to the draft" will almost newt
ably lead to rheumatism and the long cata

come to Iowa; we have no "draft'' here.

RETURNING TO REASON AND ALLEGIANCE.
The election of Vance--who has step by
step resisted and denounced the usurpa-
tons of jeff Davis and his followers, and
opposed the secession Of the state,-as
governor of North Carolina, may be re-
garded as one of the most hopeful signs of
the times, If not an indication that North
Carolina will soon return to her allegiance.
1t is essential, however, that the Union
sentiment be encouraged and nourished,
by such legislation as will stimulate its
growth. The policy Of the government is
to heal and restore, as well as to physic
and purge. Suppress radical and incenda.
ry counsrls, restrain fanatics at home, and
we may in few months witness the return
of North Carolina to her allegiance.

ARREST OF MAHoNEY.-On Thursday
morning Dennis A. Mahoney, editor of the
Dubuque Herald, was arrested at an early
hour by U. S. Marshal Hoxsie, assisted by
deputy Marshal Conger, and file Of SOL
diers. 1t is not clear yet, what the precise
nature of the charges against him are, but
we presume it is for some language in con
travention of the spirit and letter of some
OF the recent war orders relative to discour-
aging enlistments. We have never been
an admirer of the Dubuque Herald, and
have felt that it was Of too questionable
loyalty to do good in these times. While
We shall therefore have no mourning to put
on, we have only to request that the prun-
ing knife may lop off every editor that
hopes the old Union may not be restored
and discourages fighting for anything less
than principle" which principle is an.
nounced to be, the forcible emancipation of
other class which prefers the Union should
60 to the devil rather than one poor negro
be confscated from the rebels. Let the w en-
dell Phillips men-who hope to God this
Union may never be restored while slave
is held in bondage, and who advise people
not to enlist until the President will declare
such be his policy-be arrested and taken
to the same military prison with the Ma
honeys, and we shall all breathe frccr.

The weather continues as pleasant as could
be desired in fact, praises of the season arc
in everybody's mouth. Occasional showers
give the air very acceptable temperature, and
keep the roads in excellent condition.
There is an advance OF seven cents in wheat
over our quotations last week. This will slim.
ulate an unusually early moving of the grea,

The War VI 0vcment.

Since our last issue, war meetings have
been held in every township in Clayton
county. At the call of their country, men
have exchanged the service of Ceres for the
service of Mars; the music of the sickle
among the ripened green, has been sup.
planted by the stirring music of the fife
and drum, and the harvest song has given
place to the national hymn.
Within ten days over four hundred men
have spung to arms in Clayton county, and

dred thousand men is more than full
Still the work lags not, and four hundred
more can be had if the government really
needs their services. A more healthy en- j.

than has been manifested in good old

SEM HIN WITH MAnoNEY. In speech
delivered at Boston on the LIST of the pres

81 look upon the present war as con.
Quoted without reasonable object, as a
total loss Of blood and treasure. Better
ths South should go to day than lose dnoth
er life to prolony the war upon the present
detestable policy. One hundred and twenty.
five thousand men year, and million
dollars day are required to prosecute the
war in the manner it has been DONE"
Let the government be impartial, and
let every brawler against it receive sum-
mary attention at the hands Of U. S. Mar
shals, and the people will say amen, and
amen. We can spare every man from our
commonwealth who prostitutes free speech
to the support of the rebels by discourag-
ing enlistrnents, and the government should
not take one and leave another, to continue
the>fffernal business.

Politics.
The late rousing, earnest war meetings
held all over this county have impressed
everyperson with the earn.stness of the PEG
pie on two points, to-wit: the suppression
of the rebellion, and the suppression ofpoli.
tics while the first great work is being &C.
complished.
The speaker who earnestly invoked the
scorn of the people on every man who
drags politics before the public, during the
continuance of this war, never failed to
touch the key note Of the popular applause
and bring out the loud and fcrvent hurrahs.
And just in the proportion that the zeal of
the men of Iowa, has been quickened, have
they declared that they are neither Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, but good Union men.
Take the case of Deputy Sheriff futile, OF

exhorting, singing, shouting, for the good

Union!' The eloquent words were ap.
plauded, until the bluffs on either side con.
scented to give back the echo. The same
applause greeted NJ. O'Brien who laconi.
cally said he was party man but his party
was the Union party, and he desired to
