The meeting was organized, and then followed
the reading OF constitution and bylaws, the

to compromise to withdraw. This was not ac.
dording TO the stuff of which Mr.. Daniels was
made (by the way he had no idea the Knight,

resisted the motion, and in order to test the
meeting proposed that all who were in favor of

The WRONG WAY.-A member Of the regi-
mental staff Of the Eigth Alabama regiment,
lying at Richmond, lost himself one morning in
the woods Coming upon the Union pickets,
ne was brought to a stand, and installing the
character ofthe men, inQuiredfO for his regiment.
The picket directed him to the Colonel's tent
for information. He went there and was told
to consider himself prisoner. He merely
replied, "A ID funny mistake Of our picket,

decidedly salutary in many places In Dubuque

venport the Gazette says $50 dogs have been
collared, producing money enough to support o
first class teacher year. In Iowa City, the
Press says two hundred and eighty dollars have
been paid over to the school fund CT the city and
township out of the dog fund.
It's wise provision in the law which allows
the township where the money is collected 20
nave the exclusive benefit of the amount paid
IN, instead of going into the general county fund.

The MILK AND-WATER PolIcy-Tbe milkand
water policy of the Federal officers is costing tn
nation millions Of money and thousands of pre-
cious lives. Leniency to leading rebels is inhu
mainly and prodigality in the end At least
one half Of our officers who have been placed in
control of rebel districts and cites, are totally
ignorant OF the temper and nature OF the rebels
The result will inevitably be that the nation viii
have heavy work to do over again. 1t would

twenty-five miles up Sandy, which makes the
use of hemp necessary in order to close this war.
A Union soldier belonging to the 4O.h Ohio reei.
ment was on bis return to his regiment, a.
Prestonburg. Alta hollow, about twenty Ave
miles from Catlettsburg, he was arrested and
overpowered by three armed bushwhackers, who
robbed him Of his gun, clothing and everything
but bis shirt and pants. They told him they
would not Kill him, but would shoot him in some
part to make him suffer. One of the devils then
stepped back few paces and deliberately shot
him through the leg, making an ugly and painful
flesh wound, and cutting the leader so that the
foot dragged the ground. They then left him to.
his fate. The soldier was compelled to crawl
back mile and halt, to the nearest house. for
shelter-where they refused to let him STAY
without paying, which he did. What is needed
up Sandy is little more of the Constitution"

The NORTHERN DEMOCRACY AND SIGNS OF TEE
TNEs.-f evidence confrmstory of the views
contained in our leading editorial OF today were
wanting, it is abundanty furnished by the able
address to the Northern Democracy, which was
issued more than two weeks ago by the Demo-
cratic delegation in the Lincoln Congress. This
is the first symptom of return to reason which
has dawned upon the North since Lincoln's eIe-
walton to power. We may now hope that Rich.
ardson, Valsndigham, and other conservative
men of the Northwest will again assume that
power and influence to which they are entitled
by their wisdom and patriotism. We could not
expect these men in the very outset of their
operations in this 6rst stage of their rebellion
against the Federal despot, to assume positions
utterly antagonistic to all the acts and policy of
the party in power. But we have only to await
the organization Of two parties, and each will
drive the other to extremes. New England will
be arrayed against the Northwest and then the
South win learn the way to safety and peace
