NEWS BY LAST NIGHTS NAIL.

The situation Of affairs in Virginia is not
much different from that represented in our
accounts in another column. The latest dates
say that it was thought that another great
battle would be fought Wednesday.
There is report that Pope is falling back
upon the defences of Washington, and that
jackson is marching upon Baltimore. We
don't believe it.
Baton Rouge has been destroyed by the
Federal forces. t..n..... ... .. ....
The report which reached us on Wednes-
day evening that the N. Y. Tribune had been
suppressed, turns out TO be hoax.
Cincinnati is threatened by a rebel force
estimated at from 90, 600 to $4,000, which on
tho End, was said to be only so miles from,
the, city. .:..~..
S.R. Ingham, of Dos Moines, has been
appointed by the Governor to superintend
the operations against the Indians, and he
has gone TO TT. Dodge for that purpose.
We learn that the draft has been postpon,
ed to the 10Th inst. The Legislature will
probably take some action on it. ... .
1t is said that the two calls of 800, 600 mer
each has been filled, and large portion Of
the 200, 900 call to Gil up old regiments.

New ELEvAToRs.-In addition to the pres
ent extensive facilities in Chicago for recciv-
ing grain, we learn that two first class Ele,a-
tors are being built on the South Branch by
two Of our leading warehouse firms, to BE-
completed in few months, and to be furnish
ed throughout with the most approved ma
chinery, including twenty-three Of Fairbanks
500 bushel Hopper scales, which is sufii-
cicnt guaranty that correct weights will be
given. Besides these, the Messrs. Fairbanks
have set in this city in little more than a
year, about seventy 500 bushei Hopper scales
and a dozen or SO smaller ones, making over
a hundred in all. So perfect is the machine
ry, that each scale may beloaded and unload
ed in ten or twelve minutes, which gives
some idea of the enormous amount Of grain
which may he weighed upon them all in a
single day. Let the Farmers Of the North
west raise their immense crops of grain, and
the railroads and canal transport it to Chica-
go; there is no doubt but our means for re-
ceiving, storing and shipping it will keep
pace with the demand Chicago Erening

THE PROSPECTS,

We are told by gentleman who has tray
eled through some eight or ten of the Coun-
ties Of this Congressional District, that the
feeling is very favorable for the Republican
ticket. Duncombe will lose great number
Of loyal Democratic votes, and Judge Hub
bard gain them. The election of the latter
gentleman, by a humping majority, is a fore
gone conclusion. Poor Duncombe, no Won
der you do not want to canvass the District,
when you are obliged to endorse toryism and
trcason-mongers. You may be smart man
Duncombe, but not keen enough to prove to
hemasses that the glaring and hellish wrong
of the principles you subscribe to, is right,
or that the rotten platform you are lettering
upon is sound and SAFE

JUDGE HUBBARD AND THE CAN
VAGg.

1t had been expected that Judge Hubbard
would speak in this place and vicinity, the
present week. 1t was announced that he
would address the people of this place last
Wednesday evening, and handbils TO that
effect were issued. lie failed to come, but
p. Melcndy Esq. received letter from him,
in which he said that upon reaching Rooms
boro, in the canvass of the District, he heard
OF the Indian troubles in the North western
part of the Sta.e,--wherc he lives,- ap-
pretending serious trouble, he concluded to
withdraw his appointments for the present,
and has returned home. Should the excite
nent subside, he will renew his appointments
the last of this month and the first of next.
We certainly hope to have Judge Hubbard
with us at some time during the campaign.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.

We hear nothing of Importance from the
West relative to the Indian troubles. From
the North We learn that danger is apprehend-
ed, and that prompt measures are being ia
ken to guard against foray. Last night We
received letter from friend in Howard
County, and he says the country is all ex-
element, and that body of men passed thro'
that County last Monday, on their way to
meet the savages. We think it altogether
probable, that such prompt and effective
measures have been taken, as will secure our
State against any Indian raid. We certainly
hope this is the case.

INFORMATION WANTED.

Does Judge Wilson, the Democratic can
didate for Judge in this judicial District,
still acknowledge d. A. Mahony as his polt-
cal leader? We are inclined to think that
he does from the fact that he keeps mum. II
he was an unconditional Union man, thor.
oughly loyal, he would come out and clear
himself from the suspicion which is now at
tached to him. If the political principles Of
Mahony are subscribed to by Judge Wilson
he is not fit man to be elected to the Judi
ciary. He has formerly trained in Mahony'i
company, and we supposoho does yet,-and
the people will think so to, unless he comes
out and boldly repudates the political:courst
Of his arrested and imprisoned chisftain.

A MATTER THAT NEEDS ExPLANA.
TION

We see by a list recently published of the
assessors and collectors of the different Con-
grcssional Districts Of this State, that Delos
Arnold, Of Marshalltown, has received the
appointment of assessor in this District-
We had thought that Mr. Melendy of this
place, was the fortunate man in connection
with the latter named position. lie received
notice direct from the Department at Wash.
ington that he had been recommended and
would be appointed. Later the Governor al
so informed him that he would receive the
appointment. Mr.. Melendy never applied
for the place, and why the Department sho'd
notify him that he would be the assessor of
the District-at the recommendation Of the
Governor and the Congressional representa-
tives,-and then appoint another person, is a
mystery to us. Such a procedure is wrong
and provoking, and it should be looked into,
and the manner in which this change has
been effected made known. If Mr.. Melendy
had not received what might be considered
an official notification of his appointment, no
one would find any fault. We understand
there is similar case in the third District
We want to know what wires have beon pull
ed, and who has pulled them.

THE LAST RESORT.

The N. Y. Tribune, Of the Goth ult., has
leader declaring that the real significance
of Mr. Stewards lately published dispatch t.
Charts Francis Adams lies in the intimatior
that, if we don't otherwise succeed in putting
down the rebellion, we will net hesitate tc
enlist the whole Save population Of the South
as armed combinations on our side.
Aside from Stewards letter and from the
Tribune's Interpretation Of it, there are Other
facts that warrant the belief that the admin
istration has been celebrating on the proba
bic necessity of accepting such a course as
would result unless the rebels speedily laid
down their arms and sought for an armstics
in the most fearful servils instruction the
world has ever seen. #

For the Gazett,
WOMEN AND THE WAR.

Mr.. EDITOR Those of us who have
friends already in the field, are very anxious
on the subject Of enlistment; and the cry
sounds continually in our ears, help! help
from the North, lest We perish, and our cause
60 down with us. Much is said, and many
strong arguments used, to induce men to en-
list; but little or nothing is said to women,
as to whether they have anything to do with
this matter. know of a number, even in
this town, who would long since have enrolled
their names among their country's defend
ers, but wife, or sister, would not CONSENT
Women Of the North what do l hear; will
you not consent that husband, or brother
should go to the rescue Of falling Liberty,
and to the aid of our brave brothers, who are
struggling, yea, fearfully struggling, in the
best cause for which the arm Of man was ever
lifted? Look at the women of the South,
and witness their devotion to their cause
unjust and unholy, as it is. Let their exam
pie chide US for our inactivity, when every
thing worth enjoying in the present, or hop
ing for in the future, depends upon action
Women Of Cedar Falls In the name of God,
and our Pilgrim Mothers, let us arise, and
clothe ourselves with the spirit of seventy
six. And not only say to our husbands, and
brothers, we will let you, but we ,cW haze
you 60, and endeavor to sustain institutions
that have elevated American women, above
every other part of the civilized world. AS
brave women, let us cheer the heart Of the
soldier in the field, and as sympathizing NO.
men, especially as members of the Aid Soci-
ETY., let US do all in our power, for the relief
of the sick and wounded. Let us give free
ly, and::work cheaply, locking for no reward
save that which always accompanies the dis
charge of duty, and the blessed hope that our
Country will yet be saved.

CERKo GoRpo CouNTY.-The Mason City
Republican, in noticing the departure Of a
company just enlisted in that County, Of
which Hon. A. b. Miller, Register Of the
State Land office, is Captain, speaks as fol-
lows:
Fathers, sons, husbands have rallied. Some
Of our best men have become soldiers. Far
mers, mechanics, merchants, lawyers, doctors
and all pursuits have their representatives in
the ranks. Never was there more striking
example Of devotion to country than has been
manifested by the wives, mothers and sisters
Of the volunteers who have become heroinss
and proudly urged them on to war. Our
county has now furnished nearly half her vo-
tiers fer the army. Our town is like desert

home to till the land and carry on all pursuits.
We have risked all for tho Union, and devo.

WHAT IS AN ABoLIrloNlsT THE Southern
Literary Messenger published at Richmond,
Va, and supposed to have keen perception
Of abolition traits, thus answers this ques-
ton --
IAN abolitionist is man who does net
love slavery for its own sake, as divine in
stitution who does not worship it as the
cornerstone Of civil liberty; who does not
adore it as the only possible social condition
on which permanent Republican Govern
lnent can be erected and who does not in
his Utmost soul, desire to see it:extended and
perpetuated over the whole earth as means
of human reformation, second in dignity, i'm
portance and sacredness to the religion of
Christ. He who does not love African slav-
ery with this love is an Abolitionist."
