THE LANDMARKS PRRsRRvED.
Nov, that the Confederate Congress has adj
burned, and its acts are before the people, We
coincide with the opinion expressed by the Au-
gusta SeH,ineI, that the people have reason to 10
proud of their representatives il many respects,
bat IN none more than for the manner in which
they unfdterngly stood up amid the clash Of
arms for the rights Of persons and defense Of
Individual liberty We have every assurance
that guaranteed rights viii hereafter be respected
aud no interference be allowed to prevent the
complete rule Of the civil power, except in the
most dire exigencies and further, that The de-
elimination as to what shall constitute a neees-
siey is to be exercised only by the President,
Who is directly responsible to the governed.
It must be admitted that we are fast vsrging
toward thst dangerous point in she history OF
nations when, yielding to the pies Of nations
as the Northern people have dOus-we are about
surrendering sl control over the vessel Of State
into the hands Of selfsppOinted military dieS-
sors, who, by virtue of their authority in toe
army, undertook to regulate the conduct and
the movements Of every class OF ciA-
1sns, to the utter disregard Of psnonal liberty
aud property Everything was as the mercy
Of any commanding officer, and that arbitrary
power was not often exercised" says the Sen
was owing to the good sense, patriotism
and forbearance of some officers in command,
not to want Of examples afforded BY Others"
Though from the necessities Of the times It
y sssabsolutely necessary That tbs power Of sus
pendisg that great safeguard Of liberty, the writ
Of habsas aOrvE should be lodged in some hand
ahen it could be summarly exsrssd, JET Con-
zTess, j~sslously rsgardful Of the rights Of the
people, refused 70 sanction the ~usurpatOnG made
by some officers, and to leave ia doubt where
The power should rest. They have lodged it in
The hands Of the President, aud in his only, to
be used net IN caprice, Bus osly in urgent necss-
shy. Ire whole subject of martial laT and i'm
DTessm-nt Of property, has been fully and ably

tory, which he Gays only for the approach of
night would have been completed, by driving
our forces from their position.
The Richmond Dispatch Of the Gath, says
Braggs army has retired to a safe position,
which it would be inprudent to state.
Gen. Bragg, it says, has secured 4,70O wag-
ons loaded with provisions, which haye been
brought away in safety with his army. He lost
2,5Oe barrels of pork which was left at Lexing-
ton and fell into the hands of the Yankees
Great dissatisfaction was felt among the off,
GERS Of Bragg's army at the falling back, and
many of them literally weps when the order was
given.
The conclusion to be drawn from all the news
in our possession, continues the Dispatch, are
that Bragg has either met such an overwhelm-
ing force Of the enemy and successfully retrea-
ted before it with large stores of provisions, or
that he has been too timid and made forced
marches and fought and wearied his troops for
an object which be has not daring enough to &C.

From several sources We learn there is great
activity among the rebels in the vicinity Of
Helena, Vicksburg, and Holly Springs. They
evidently contemplate an attack soon, but just
at what point is not known.
Joe Johnston is said to have 10000 troops at
Little Rock, and the number at Holly Springs
is known to be about 10000. The rebels are
crossing their force from Arkansas to Mississip
plat Vicksburg, and are making every prepara-
ton for any attack at holly Springs. The place
is being strongly fortified The rumor here to-

how the men vote who have seen this Rebellion
through the curtain of smoke and bloodl Take
the glorious 7th Iowa, that entered on the bloody
field of Belmont with unquenchable ardor, and
left it with imperishable glory that passed
through the fiery ordeal Of Pittsburg Landing
and the sanguinary struggles Of Iuka and Cor
inth. Having, at the cannon's mouth and bayo
nets point, shown to rebels their estimate OF the
worth Of the Union, they have now, at the BAL
lot box, declared their belief of the principles on
which that Union should be and is founded
Decimated by death and disease, their numbers
were few, but all gloriously devoted to freedom.
Of 2l2 votes cast 2O2 were for the Republican
ticket, anu but four for the Democratic.

Iowa Infantry,) "during the present week, upon
such topics as believe would be most condr-
Give to their good and usefulness" has come du.
ly to hand.
I would be pleased to comply with your re.
quest, but during the last twelve months have
not spent four weeks at home and my own pri-
vate affairs imperatively demand my undivided
attention until shall again be compelled to re-
turn to Washington. And if could address
your regiment, of what service could be to the
noble and patriotic men who compose it? IT,
They have shown by the alacrity with which
they have rushed to hold up the honored flag of
the country that they need no new stimulus to
duty, and am well satisfied that they will, in
camp and in the field, sustain the reputation for
gallantry and patient endurance which our ear.
lier raised regiments have won for the soldiers
of our State. No men ever fought in . nobler
cause,-no men ever had brighter examples to
follow than have been exhibited by your neigh
bors and friends who have preceded you to the
feld,-no soldiers ever had so much at stake in
the issue of the conflict, and no men ever de-
served 80 we'll of the country as they, who, leav-
ing the comfort and endearments of home, now
peril everything in defense of that country and
Twas from home and among strangers when
intelligence reached me of the noble deeds of
our Iowa First Second Fifth, Seuenth, &C., and
no man can conceive of the exultation felt that
l, too, was citizen of Iowa, and that l, with
every loyal man Of the State, shared the glory
that had been earned by those brave regi-
ments.
Igo in a few days to the scene of my duties in
q distant part of the Union. ! shall follow the
movements of your regiment with the deepest
interest, and with the full conviction that it will
add to and not diminish the enviable reputation
that Iowa soldiers now enjoy all over this broad
land And when intelligence comes, to me that
some deed of noble daring has been performed,
some tide of battle turned by the men of the
