For Prosecuting AHorney-Milo Nc
Glathery of Fayette county.
For Member Of the Board Of Eduea.
tion-G. F. Stevens of Winneshiek

The first two nominees arc the pres
ent incumbents. Their denomination
is high compliment to their fitness,
their ability and fidelity, and mark
ed proof that an intelligent constitu-
ency are not unmindful of the graft
tude due to faithful and upright pub.
lie servants. OF Mr.. Stevens we
know but little. Those who are best
acquainted with him speak in the
highest terms of his qualifications and
fitness for the Office to which he has
been nominated. There can be lie
doubt that all three of the gentlemen
will be triumphantly elected.

Concert.

Attention is called to the advertise.
ment Of concert of vocal and instru.
mental music to be given at the Bap.
fist Church, in this village, on Tues
day evening next, by the Nationals
The Nationals have the reputation Of
being one of the very best musical
Troupcs in the country. The news.
papers everywhere are loud in their
praise, and it would appear that their
success is unboundcd. The inculca
ton of patriotic thoughts and feelings
particularly at this time, is indeed a
laudable vocation, and this the Nation
ais, with their melodious voices, are
doing in prc-eminent degree. a
contemporary says: "Their rendi
ton of POe's Raven alone is worth the
price of admission 1t is a pleasure
and a joy to drink in the soft, ricl
melody and the stirring and patriotic
strains of the Nationals"
Go early if you wish to secure goot
seats, for the house will undoubtedl,
be crowded.

The American Question in Europe.

The latest news from Europe shows
conclusively that intervention in our
affairs has taken no tangible form in
any respectable quarter. Earl Rus
sell declares that no propositions for
recognition of the Southern Confede-
racy have been received by Her Maj
csty's Government from any European
power. The Queen, in her speech
proroguing Parliament, reaflirms her
position of neutrality. Even the bug
bear of Canadian invasion seems to
have been put to rest in Parliament.
Finally, the Journal of St. Petersburg
denies emphatically all rumors imply
ing that the Gar has made or listen
ed to overturcs looking to the recog.
milton of the rebel government.

Third Congressional District.
Extra Session Of the Legislature.

The question Of convening the Gen.
eral Assembly of this State in Special
Session is being agitated in various
quarters, and it is hoped that Gov.
kirkwood will soon issue a call to
that effect. We are decidedly in ia
vor Of converting the Legislature as
soon aspracticable, for the reasons
LIST. To encourage (by giving
suitable aid and uniform bounty men
to enlist and fill up the old regiments
from Iowa now in the field.
7 I'd. To provide a contingent fund,
to be placed in the hands of the Gov
ernor, to take care of Iowa soldiers
wounded in battle--the Legislature
at its last session having failed to
make suitable provisions.
81. TO pass law authorizing the
volunteer soldiers of Iowa to vote.
Our Democratic friends cannot OBJ
ject to this last proposition, fort hey
claim that the Democrats do the fight
ing-and if so, they should certainly
have voice in the selection of those
who hold the civil Offices. We say,
woe to the party or man who lifts
his voice against allowing the men
jim arms for the defense of the Govern
ment, to exercise the right of choos-
ing their rulers.
The objections that may be urged
against holding an extra session of
the Legislature are, that the provi-
sions named above should have been
made at the regular session, and thus
save the expense which special ses-
sion will cause.
1t should be remembered that the
popular belief at that time was, that
the backbone of the rebellion was al
ready broken that but few months
would elapse before peace would be
restored. The bloody battle of Shi-
loh had not then been fought the
new call for troops had not been made /,
the ranks of the old regiments had
not then been thinned by disease and
the casualties of the battlefield. The
prospect now is, that the war may
last for at least another year, and the
brave men, who have left their homes,
should be encouraged and sustained
by the strong arm of the State.
The objection because of expense,
cannot and should not weigh against
the interests of our soldiers, as nam
cd above. We are confident that
most of the members of the General
Assembly would at least donate their
time and charge the State no more
than their actual expenses. Even the
latter could be made up by the friends
at home, for in these times all must
make some sacrifice.
We hope Gov. Kirkwood will view
the question of an extra session in
the light that we do, and issue call
at once.
Charles City Republican intelligencer. [volume] (Charles City, Iowa) 1861-1864, 1862-08-21

A despatch from the War Depart
ment to the Governor of New York,
announces that the draft cannot be
made before the first of September.
The length of time required for the
enrolment of the militia and the con-
sideration of claims for exemption, is
among the reasons assigned. 1t is
suggested also that if, in addition to
the 100000 first called for, the old
regiments are filled up to the maxi
mum by volunteers, the draft may be
avoided altogether.

Floyd County Volunteers.

We are now, more than ever before,
proud of Floyd county and her noble
and patriotic people. This county has
literally and promptly responded to
every call of the Government for vol
untecrs and has done her full share in
each instance. At this time, instead
of the twenty-five or thirty men, her
quota under the call, she has prompt
ly recruited and now sends forth full
hundred of her brave sons to aid in
unfolding the banner of the nation.
