The Gevernsr,s vets.

Our contemporary is still 10 trouble
Nothing suits him, nobody pleases him,
everything is wrong and everybody in
power and out of power seem to be join
ed in conspiracy to vex his righteous
soul. The President and Congress,
Grimes, Harlan, Fremont, the Presbytery
OF Keokuk and the Postmaster thereof
have all increased his patriotic objurga-
tons Aud now Governor Kirkwood and
the Republican party come in for tire
mendous broadside of abuse. The special
instigation for opening his batteries in
that direction is found In the fact that
the Governor has vetoed bill which was
rushed through the Legislature during
the closing hours of the session, reducing
the salaries of Judges and State officers.
We have not seen the bill nor the veto
message, and are not advised authorize
lively as to the grounds or reasons as
signed for the veto. By reference to the
Constitution of Iowa, however, we End a
provision as follows:
'.The salary of each Judge of the Supreme
Court shall betwo thousand dollars per snnum; and
that Of each District Judge one thousand six hun
drsd dollars per annum, until the year eighteen
hundred and sixty; after which time they snail
sevsraly receive such compensation as the General
Assembly may by law prescribe; which compensa-
- l~H L.
the term for which they shall have been elected"
Now we understand that the bill did
diminish the salaries of the Judges dur
ing the term for which they had been
elected, and was therefore unconstitution
a. and We infer that from the premises
that the Governor, in pursuance Of his
oath of Office, interposed his veto to pre-
ven, unconstitutional legislation.
We can see no reason why Clagett's
Constitution is so tender of the Constitu-
ton Of the United States and SO regard
less Of the Constitution of Iowa, except
that the Constitution Of Iowa has no
clause protecting the rights of slave
holders
Since the foregoing was in type We
have come across the veto message Of
Governor kiikwood. which bases his OBJ
lection, as We supposed, on the express
provision of the Constitution prohibiting
a change Of compensation during the tern,
for which the incumbents were elected.

Many of the Locoioco papers of the
State set them the example by pratiug Of
taxation, and for the same purpose, dis
guise it as they may. 1t is the best way
the cowkrdly creatures can take to render
aid and comfort to our deluded Southern
brethren, and they harp on taxation and
charge the war upon the Republicans in

Of the rebellion than they do with the

Fort Monroe. ADril II


At intervals last night and this morn

the direction Of Yorktown.
A party Of deserters who came into our
lines. report the arrival of JEFF. Davis in
the rebel camp, and that it was under

preaching battle. They represent tie

trenching TO be progressing throughout

The rebel Generals openly declare it to
be their intention to make this the great
est battle Of the war, and tie strongest
conviction is expressed Of triumph over
'xhe Federal forces, and of driving them
from the peninsula.
There is almost constant skirmishinp
going on by the rifemen, and occasionally
shot and shell are thrown with great

There was quite heavy skifmisA this
morning, beyond Warwick Court House,
on James river. The enemy attempted to
turn our left flank The attack was made
in quite heavy force, but the enemy were
repulsed after brisk artillery duel. The
loss Of the enemy is thought TO have been
quite heavy. We lost about dozen
in killed and wounded.

Resignation Withdrawn.

In Senate the other day Mr.. Grimes
stated that it was the unanimous wish OF
the Committee on Naval Affairs that Mr..
Hale should withdraw his resignation
as chairman of the Committee, which
was given from misapprehension, and
was now known to the Senator him.

public rumor, that the Naval Committe e
had always been harmonious in its action
since il had been organized with it's pres.
ent members.
Mr.: Hale stated he was willing to &C,
qu'esce in the request, and would nov
withdraw his resignation.

New Orleans Items.


The Committee of Public Safety figures
very largely in the New Orleans papers,
and seems to have pretty much the entire
management of the details Of preparation
for defense Of that city. The Picayune
contains the following:
Our Mississippi feet, yclept, few
months ago, the mosquito feet, promises
to be. before long, .. tolcrably respectable
one. 1t will be seen, by referring to our
advertisements, that four more gunb ats,
with marine engines and boilers, are to be
built in this city. Sealed proposals, en-
dersed, Proposals for Gunboats," will
be received till the 9Th of April, at the
Commandments Office, Naval Station.
The Delta of the 4th says Gen. Lowell
thinks 'sthe enemy have evacuated the
mouth of the river" The Delta says:
Certainly the enemy's presence has not
been without meaning. It's very proba-
bic that he meditates simultaneous at.
attack upon Forts jackson and Phillip
aud Fort Pike, and will attempt to re-
duce at the same time our river and our
lake defences. The reasons Why he
should hasten to attack are obvious, if he
means to attack. Warm weather is rap
idly approaching, and the deadly heat of
the Gulf and Lake coasts. combined With
pestilence, will soon commit more ravages
in his expeditions than q dozen battles
would. He must strike carly, or his arm
will be paralysed.
The Mobile. Advertiser of April 9Th says
of our Gulf feet:
They now directly menace New Orleans
with attack. The newspapers latest re-
ceived from that city have certain inaelli-
gence that between thirty and forty Van
kee men-of-war are in the Mississippi riv
er, below the city, sud Of course below it,
defensive works. Besidas this formidable
fotilla in the river. a majestic heet rides
under the lee Of Ship Island. These vast
preparations have not been perfected to
remain unemployed, and we may rest a.
sured that the blow, strong and heavy,
will be soon struck.
The N. o. Picayune contains Con-
federate account of the battle of Vayerde,
near Fort Craig, New Mexico. The loss
Of the Texans was sc killed and lO6
wounded.
The papers from which we have been
quoting have much to say Of the then an
icipated battle ut Corinth. They were
all uneasy about a great struggle coming
at that point. They have great deal TO
say, also. about the surprise which their
troops suffered At Union City. They re-
gard it as exceedingly Illuminating. Their
troops were negligent, and they grieye
over their inglorioas fight.

Mt. Jackson, II a. m.-Our troops oc-

where the enemy appear to be in force.
People report that they intend giving
battle there. They resisted our advance
in order 70 gain time for burning bridges
and railway cars, engines, &c, which had
accumulated at the station.
Our advance was sudden, and the re-

were enabled to save the bridges and two
locomotives and several cars. All these
had been prepared with combustible ma
terial for their obstruction.
Information hes been received that many

have acted admirably.
