THs GAZETTE makes great blow
and blus,er over the refusal OF Gen. A.
C. Dodge to accept Colonelcy in some
outside prospective Regiment. 1t is
evident from the entire proceedings
that the is nothing but political cla.o-
trap about it. The Republicans OF this
State are arriving at the conclusion
that the Democracy are gaining
strength rapidly, and knowing that Gen.
Dodge is a representative man IN that
party, 60 this round about way to get
up political capital. No more loyal or
patriotic man bfeathes in Iowa to-day
Why, if Gov. Kirkwood was so anxious
that Gen. Dodge should have the COM
mand Of an Iowa Regiment, why dc
he not tender him the Colonelcy ofsome
one Of the regiments now forming
If be considered him 80 competent in
line of command, why have SO many
lubberly appointments been nade hith
erto, and why are they being made a
present, and he left out in the line en-
tirely If such a model of u Colone
why not tender him the appointment o
the Regiment first going into the field
Able Colonies are scarce. Why ash
Gen. Dodge to walt and form Regi
mcnt.
1t is all political clap-trap from be
ginning to enc, got up for the politics
campaign matchmaking else.-
Knowing such to be the ease Genera
Dodge did right in refusing to have any
thing to do with the matter whatever
Let the Democracy of Iowa take n
stock in what abolition republican pa
pcrs have TO say about this or any kin
bred matter. DO you duty, and remem
Der that the salvation Of this nation
with you. Do not abuse the trust.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECrIoN.-The re-
turns, SO tar as received, indicate the
defeat of the jeff. Davis party. Vance,
the conservative candidate fer Governor,
IS said to be elected by $4,000 majority,
and the Legislature is also conservative.
Werelit not for the bayoness which now
rule the South, it is quite likely the vic

In 1855, Rufus Choate, in speaking
Of abolitionism, said 1.-THE basis Of the
organization is reciprocal sectional hate.
To form and heighten this, to for.ify
and Justify it, to show that is moral
and necessary and brave, the whole vast
energy OF party tactics is to be put in
request. 1.-THE ingenuity of hell were
tasked for a device to ALLEVIATE and rend
asunder our immature and artificial ma
t,onaIity, it would devise nothing SO eff
tectual."

WEADRLL PHILLIPS WILL NOT TAKE
THE OArH.-The Springfield MASS
Republican says upon the subject Of
oaths, that -
"Nobody expects Wendell Phillips
or his adherents to enlist, or to help the
country in any way, or to do ANYTHING
but abuse and insult those Who are Ia
boring and dying in it's defense. The
true way to silence these malignants is
10 present to them the oath of allegi'
snce. They won't take it-tbey will
deny that they are citizens of the United
States. They merely live on the soil
but are voluntary aliens to the Govern
ment. And yet these regulators o.
the Constitution undertake to dictate tc
patriotic men how the Constitution is tc
be defended. Shame on them"

ARTIFICIAL lcE.-For some months
past an ice making machine has been
in operation in Westminster, London,
which effects its purpose cheaply a d
quickly by an ingenious process. Sea
water, as most Of persons know, noes
not freeze at the temperature of forty
two degrees, as fresh as water does.
Advantage is taken of this fast in the
following way: A number Of fat,
square metal boxes, filed with fresh wa.
ter, are placed within an air-tight cham.
Der, around which constant circulation
of sea-water goes on, which by the evap-
GRAFTON Of ether, has been reduced IN
temperature below the freezing point.
Ibis circulation chills all the boxes and
freezes the fresh water into hard solid
squares, tit for any use to which ice is
usually applied. A small steam engine
connected With the apparatus maintain
the vacuum in the chamber, and con-
denses the ether, which is thus made to
do Its work of refrigeration over and
over again with but little loss-not
more than about eight pence a day.
