Colonel Vandevcr.

On motion of Mr.. Wasbburne oil
Illinois, the House of Congress last
week postponed the Iowa contested
election case, until the first of Novem
Der next. This is the case of Col. Van
deyer of this District, whose scat is
contested by one lie Grand Byington
1t will be remembered by "a few of our
citizens that this man Byington-as.
Stunning that there was vacancy in
this District by virtue Of Mr.. Vande-
yer having accepted the commission
Of Colonel from the Governor of this
State-ran for Congress in opposition
to the Hon. VIM. HockiDbury, and
receiving a few more votes than
Hockinbury in one or two of the coun.
ties in this District, set up claim to
the House for Col. Vandever's seat.
We have no idea that Byington ever
thought he had any right to seat in
Congress but if he could establish
his claims as a contestant, he would
thereby procure mileage and per diem
during the tendency of the case
Vandever distinguished himself in the
service of his country in heroically
leading his Brigade in the thickest OF
the fight at Pea Ridge. ByiDgton,
last summer denounced the Iowa sol.
diers in Missouri, as cut-throats and
murderers. That is about the differ
ence between tho two men.--I0,ca

The Gallant IOWanS.

Iowa is young State, but it is the
home of heroes. With the present
war she has begun war history tina,
yields in splendor and honor to that OF
no State in the Union, aud no country
on the globe. Her soil is the birth
place of a new chivalry, and she has
become the mother of "a race of heroes
Her soldiers boast little, and she has
no Industrious penny-a-liner to boast
for them. Her soldiers are as modest
as they are brave. They are not
braggarts. They are as gentle and
tractablc as children.
But when the storm of blood begins
they are the guiding and governing
heroes of the tempest Where the
harvest Of death is to be reaped, they
are the foremost of the reapcrs
Where perilous assault is to be made
somehow or another there is always
an Iowa regiment to lead it. 1t was
so at Wilson's Creek and at Belmont
it was so at Fort Donelson it was sc
at Pea Ridge it was so at Shiloh
and it will ever be SO throughout the
war.
All our Western troops have been
heroes, but the Iowa troops have been
heroes among heroes. The Iowa
First, Second, Third, Fourth and Sew
cnth, are bodies of men who would
have given an additional luster to
Thermopyle, Marathon, Austerlitz
or Wagram. Iowa may be proud OF
her sons, and all Americans may bC
proud Of Iowa.-.St. LOnis News.

The IrOT- Clad Vessels of the Rebels

The Iron-clad Navy of the Rebels
is among the things that were--it
has disappeared under the stalwart
blows of the gallant captains and
sailors Of the Union vessels. Those
impregnable rams and iron monsters,
which were going to do havoc among
our little Insignificant gunboats at
New Orleans, were fearfully dealt
with. The Manassas went to Davy
Jones' very early in its career, at the
hands of our men. But when the case
became desperate, the new rams, in
stead Of coming to her assistance
were ungrateful!y destroyed by thei,
own friends. One of these was the
Mississippi, a powerful structure,
which CARRIED no less than twenty
guns-burned by the enemy. Another
was the Anglo-Norman, which was
also burned. A floating battery-the
Louisiana-with formidable armament
and strongly encased, was blown up ;
and a second one, whose name is not
given, was sunk. The last convul.
sions were in front of Fort Wright
where the rebel steam-ram Mallory
went down with all on board. AR
mored ships have only proved metallic
collins for the rebels. They should
never have deserted their staple
cotton, to depend on iron.

From Fl. Pillow.

The bombardmcnt of Fort Pillow
was renewed on the Gath, by our
mortars at intervals Of five minutes,
and replied to every half hour by the
rebels. The Fort has been reinforced
by three regiments of infantry, and
greatly strengthened. Several new
batteries have been constructed,
mounting 81 guns, several of heavy
calibre.
a reconnaissance was made by
Capt. McGoringIe, of the gunboat St,
Louis, on the 2lst. He went within
q few rods of the rebel steamers, all
of which he found lying in the vicinity
of Fulton. They were in quiescent
state, steam not being up. He return.
ed to his ship without accident.
Refugees report that the inhabitants
of Memphis are leaving in large num-
bcrs. They also say that there is
quite Union sentiment prevailing
there.

From McClellan'S Army.

Considerable skirmishing has taken
place between portion of McClellan's
forces and the rebels within few
days past.
Stoncman's brigade encountered
four regiments of infantry and nine
pieces of artillery. After about l5C
rounds from our artillery the rebels
withdrew. Next morning the batter
les on both sides opened. but the fire
becoming too hot for them, they
retreated. In the action the Loui
sianna Tigers" were nearly demolished
by the 4th Michigan. ..
A portion of the 9Th Illinois have
destroyed the Richmond and Freder
icksburg railroad bridge.
Our troops occupy Mechanicsville
5 miles from Richmond.
A balloon reconnaissance by Gen
Mcclellan shows that the rebels are
evacuating Richmond.

A RAILROAD MONITOR Gen. Burn
side was employing Yankee ingenuity
at the last advices, in constructing a
Railroad Monitor" Carpenters were
preparing huge framework, TO be
placed over locomotive engine, and
to be covered with railroad iron from
the top to the track. The car is to be
made capable of carrying two guns,
one at either end, and will be used on
the railroad which runs from Newbern
to Beaufort, and also on the railroad
from Newbcrn to Bachelors Greek, in
the direction Of Kingston and Colds
boro. The bridges over the Trent
river, near Beaufort, and over Bachc-
lor's Creek, which were burned by the
retreating rebels. are nearly finished
again and the new Monitor, it is be-
lieved, will Go excellent service in
guarding the country through which
the railroads pass.
