" 1t is wonderful how sensitive some
democratic editors are at the idea of having
men of dark skins aid in quelling the rebellion.
We suppose if one OF them should have child
fall overheard, he would object to having it
catch at line thrown to it by colored man.
1t would disgrace the child for life to accept
salvation on such terms. ~

rE- In reference to the state of the mar
kets of last week, the Price Current of Satur-
day says
The past week has been characterized by
much excitement on many articles oftrade, es-
pecially on such as are subject TO import du-
ties. The continued extraordinary upward
movement in the premium on gold and the
consequent unprecedented high rates of for
eign exchanges, have had the effect to advance
the prices of all articles subject to duties. as
the premium paid is equivalent to so much in
crease of the actual duties. Sugars of all
grades have materially advanced. and the
market is excited and prices unsettled The
same may also be said of molasses. Spices are
tending to higher prices. Cofiees and Teas
are held firmly and the market is buoyant
Flour has advanced, and prices are fluctuating.
Provisions and Produce are steady at former
prices. Tobacco is in steady active demand,
and dealers are looking for further rise in
prices. Hay and Lumber meet steady in
quiry at our quotations.

y as possible.
This is what call the beginning
and beginning Alright. This is what
gives new vigor to the soldier who
has already gone through hardships
and suffcrings almost beyond descrip.
tion. l say it is encouraging to know
that the people at home. aud the Gov
ernment, are at length fully awake to
the Importance of the crisis and the
magnitude Of the rebellion. Before
this we were discouraged. Our army
had been beaten at Richmond. We
were continuing to guard rebel prop
erty. The roseswater policy of deal
ing with the rebels was at its hight.
| think you will agree with me in say
ing that we had reason to be discour-
aged. But still we had no thought of
giving up the contest. We never for
moment entertained thought but
that i'll the end we should come out
victorious and we still think so-not
only think so, but we know it.
| am happy to inform you that the
confiscation act has already been en-
forced in the town of Trenton. The
property of a rich lady who resides a
few yards from our camp, and whose
husband is in the rebel army, was
yesterday confScated by Gen. Dodge
who is commander of the post here
He took every thing he could find
about the premises that was of any
value, even to beds and bcd-quilts
This is what like to see.
Should this measure be strictly en-
forced in every place where our forces
obtain foothold, it is my opinion thai
it would not be long before the REBEL
ion would be known only among the
things that were. You will of course
perceive that am strongly in favol
of confscation. have been where
have seen the workings of the kic
glove policy Of dealing with the reb
els, and know how it works.

war. five would see the olive branch
Of Peace once more, and the Union
again restored, we must use sterner
means, and more Of them. If blood
must be spilled, let the streams of the
South run red with it. Every citizen,
almost, sworn or not, will murder eve
ry soldier he may have a chance for
so doing. With honeyed words they
take you by the hand, and then knife
you where you stand. Yankee bones
are their choicest keepsakes
In Memphis, only few days ago, a
rampant young citizen was disputing
with soldier. The soldier taunted
him with the cruelties of the South in
carving up northern bones, for south
ern ornaments. The young secesh ac-
knowledged the fact, and wished for
pile of Yankee bones himself. A bunch
of Yankee bones few into his face and
he was made to crawl like a shake, as
he was, to his home. The soldier was
tried and acquitted.
Will they have to resort to draft
ing in Iowa, or will the people once
more rally voluntarily around the flag
which Iowa boys have so nobly de-
Tended, at Wilson's Greek, at Pea
Ridge, at Shiloh? Will they come
forward to avenge their brethren slain
on every battlefield in the southwest ?
They ,cM come forth, and once more
will the Hawkeye State pulsate with
Joy as she sees her gallant sons go
forth for her defence
l am proud of Wisconsin, the State
which l still claim for home. l am
proud of the many gallant ones she
has sent forth to fight for the Union.
But / am still prouder that enlisted
in an Iowa Regiment, and when this
war is ended, will wish for no better
rccompense than to know l was with
the Iowa boys at Blue Mills, at Shiloh
and Corinth.
"God bless the Union army,
And the flag by which it stands;
May it preserve with freeman's nerve
What freeman's God demands
Peal out We bells, We women pray,
| For never yet went forth
So grand u band for law and land,

Army Correspondence.

We are permitted to make the fol-
lowing extracts from private letter,
written by John w. Darland, now SER
wing in the army of occupation in
West Tennessee, to his father at Mar
bic Rock in this county:
Trenton, Tenn, Aug. 2, 1862.
Emerson Etheridgc spoke
in this place last Monday, but | was
prevented from hearing him because
we were expecting an attack by a
party Of guerllas. No attack how
ever was made.
Quite an excitement was created
among the boys of our Company yes
terday afternoon. We have now
about twelve or fifteen negroes in the
Company. One of these, a few nights
since, stole a watch. Two Of them
were suspected Of having taken the
watch. The boys took the matter in
hand yesterday afternoon, determined,
if possible, to find out the guilty one
They put rope over the limb of a
tree fixed moose in the end of the
rope and walked the two "cullured
gemmen up to it. The poor fellows
were SO badly scared that they turned
pale but each charged the Other
with stealing the watch. Jake said
he saw Bill take it, and Bill said b,
saw Jake take 1t. But this did no
satisfy the boys. They were bound tC
make the one that had it confess. ST
they slipped Bills head into the moose
he still denying that he had the watch
They pulled on the rope two or three
times, raising him from the ground, bu
Bill would not confess. "Oh, Massa
Massa, dis nigger hain't got de watch
Dis nigger hain't got de watch" Til,
boys were certain that Bill was tn,
guilty one, but concluded they haC
choked him about enough, and let hin
slip the halter.
At about this time the Captain cam
up and told Bill to leave the camp
and never come back again if he di,
he would kill him. Bill then startc,
off on the double quick"
To-day saw Bill in the cavalr,
camp. The boys there say they foun
the watch in Bilps clothes. | thin

An Appeal

TO the Iouny Men Of The Shell Rock Tatiey.
GENTLEMEN Your noble grandsires
fought seven long years that they and
their children might have their Liber-
ty under democratic form of gov!
ernmcnt. That Liberty they have had
and gave to it new seal in the wal
of 1912. Our country is again at war,
and you are now in your turn invoked
to rally around the Liberty Tree"
and protect the Trembling flag Of your
country.
Your fathers, some of whom are i'll
their graves-some of whom are in
numbered with cares at home--and
many of whom are wearing out, or
are exhausted by labor or disease,
cannot at this time, and under these
circumstances, be expected to go to
the war until younger men are found
insufficient to crush the rebellion.
We therefore appeal to all young
men, as friends whose destinies arc
interviewer with ours, and who must
soon be with us upon the stage Of &C
ton, to rally and save their country
for them and for us who must share
with them its future fate, whatever
that fate may be. And here permi'
us to remind you that, until this wal
is closed, we neither desire to nor will
we train in the company of any young
man who can, but will not so ant
train in the Company of his country
believing, as we most sincerely do
that he who will not defend and love
his country, in it's hour of adversely
and distress, will not love and defenC
his family when overwhelmed by dis
tress and misfortunes.
In conclusion, we therefore most ear
nestly implorc you to mo,c exhibit those
traits of courage and patriotism which
were the prominent characteristics
your revered Revolutionary fathers
and we do most solemnly declare an6
assure you that, during your absence
we will not shrink from any honora
bic occupation which will contribute
to sustain you in the field, or maxi
more comfortable those at home VIII
cannot 60 with you. Our prayer
and tears, and our affections are re
served for those who will defend thei
country in its hour Of peril against tn
, Vaccinations of enemies and traitor
