THE DIFFERENCE.

1T is a noticeable fact, that while the
Republican journals Of Iowa are drec-
ting the attention of their readers almost
exclusively to the issues involved N the
war, and to the necessity for its vigor-
oas prosecution, large number OF those
who adhere to the Iowa Democracy &C
oupy their columns to large extent, by
appeals to partisan prejudices and by
urging party organization and part,
effort"
The foregoing extract is from an ar
ticle in the Gazette Of yesterday, and ii
so peculiarly cool and refreshing, tha
We cannot pass It by in silence. 1t Seems
to us impossible that our neigbtor
should, even v it'll 80 short an expert
encc in Journalism, he led 10 the belle
that such an attack upon the Democrs
cy OF Iowa would serve their ends, ant
distract attention from the real designs
Of Republicans, in this State. The cry
OF "stop thief" is nearly played out in
this locality. The people Of Iowa arc
beginning to realize what we have charged
upon the leaders of the Republican
party in this State heretofore, th.t
they think moro OF the preservation of
their party, than the restoration OF the
Union Constant cavilling about the
mode and manner OF the prosecution OF
the war, finding fault with the officers
in command, bcscig'ng the President
through the newspp ers, and by resolu-
tons at their conventions TO proclaim
freedom to the niggers and arm them,
and place them in the field side by side
with our brave soldiers, they have
done more to cmbarass the administra-
ton and retard the progress Of our army
than One Hundred Thousand Rebels in
arms. And now because the masses oil
the people do not sympathize with their
movements, but give unmistakeablc evi
dences of a determination to rehukc
them at the ballot box. They attack
them as above, charging a want of pat
riotism and loyalty. While we sustain
the administration and urge that all TIE
men and means of the country, if nee.
essary, be placed at his disposal tor pre-
servation of The Union and the Const,-
tuition, trusting in God and the pat
riotism Of our Rulers for favorable
result, our republican neighbors tell
us that the Union is not worth preserv.
ing, with slavery, and that the time ha,
come when we must have ali anti.slavery
Union, an anti-slavery Constitution
and anti-slavery God. That is the
difference 1t remains for the people
TO choose at the ballot box which policy
they prefer. They will do regardless
OF the attacks Of the Gazette and othe,
radical papers Of that stripe.

FILL UP THE OLD REGIMENTS.
The call for 600, 900 volunteers has been nobly
responded to by the citizens of this State, and
our quota is full. But the old regiments are not
full, and to avoid the draft volunteers must come
forward quickly, especially If they would have
the bounty.
Volunteers are received at Camp Mcclellan, uni-
formed, provided with first rate quarters, DC. The
advantage of volunteering for the old regiments
is apparent. The Commissary and Quartermaster's
departments are thoroughly systenatized and the
men are we'll taken care Of. scp4-dltwtf

CHARLEsTowN, Va, March 9-Hundreds Of
conirabands are arriving from the country
Tho course adopted in regard to them, il they
have been employed by secession authorities, is
TO turn them over to the division quartermas-
ter, to be employed by the Federal Government;
but if proven otherwise, they are returned to
their owners.
On Friday, Capt. Coles, Co. F, Maryland
Cavalry, forty in number, came upon about
one hundred and forty of the rebel cavalry,
between Bunker Hill and Winchester. A skir-
msh ensued, lasting an hour, resulting in the
killing Of six OF Ashley's men and wounding
FIVE. Capt. Cole had three men wounded. A
section OF Mathews's Battery came up to Capt.
Coles's support, when Adjutant wilkins, Of Gen.
WilIiams's Staff, had his horse shot under him.
1t is believed at Bunker Hill that the force at
Winchester has been greatly reduced, leaving
not over 1900 to 5000 men there. Others say
that Gen. Jackson's force has been strength
ened by the regiments from Leesburg.
Capt. Coles's scouts last night reached point
only four miles from Winchester, but encoun-
tered no resistance, except from small cavalry
picket.
Itis stated that but four hundred of the Nine
teenth Mississippi regiment remained at Lees
burg at the time Of the evacuation. These re-
treated in the direction of Manassas Gap.
This morning secession scouts attacked Gen
Aamilton's pickets near Smiths Mill, killing
one and woundIng' another of the TWenty-sev.
enth Indiana. They were pursued by the Third
Wisconsin, who had not returned at last ac'
counts.

About two O'Clock to-day the rebels began
burning their tents and other property difficult
of removal. They also burned the steamer

Our gunboats opened fire on the battery at
three o'clock, and at half past four landed and
took possession.
Z The telegraph line to Fortress Monroe was
built by order Of the Secretaryof War, under
the direction Of the general manager OF militia
ry telegraph lines. The extension of the Gov
ernment line from Harrington. Delaware, to
Cape Charles, was constructed 10 three days.
Thirty miles Of the submerged cable was man
ufactured for the channel crossing IN twenty
days from date of the order, BY 8. @. Bishop, OF
New York City. The sixteen miles laid before
the recent gale, was recovered In good condi-
ton. The cable to replace the portion lost OF
Cape Henry, was furnished by Mr.. Bishop, In
i've days. The shore end was landed at Cape

OTflcLal Report or Lieut. Wise.

WASHINGTON, March l0.--Lieut. Wise, com
manding the Potomac fotilla, in bis Official re-
port to the Navy Department, confirms the ru-
NOR Of the abandonment Of the rebel batteries
at Cockpit, Shipping and other Points along the
Potomac, and also the burning of the steamer
Page and other rebel craft. Lieut.. Wise srriv-
ed this afternoon, bringing dispatches from
Fortress Monroe. But few particulars have yet
'transpired as his interview Is not closed.
The following items are reliable: Captain
Radford was engaged on a court martial, and
not on board the Cumberland Lieut.. j. b.
Smith, son OF Commodore Smith, was on board
the Congress, aud IL killed. The loss in killed,
drowned, wounded and missing, is supposed to
be one hundred.
Lieut.. Worden, who handled the Monitor so
skillfully, is here in the hands of surgeon
Ho was in the pilot house of the Monitor when
the Merrimac directed whole broadside at il,
and received bis injuries from the minute frag-
ments of shells and the powder, which we're
driven through the lookout holes. Lieut.. Wor-
den was stunned by the conclusion, and was
carried away. On recovering, he asked, "Have
saved the Minnesota" The reply was, eyes,
and whipped the Merrimsc" To which he an
swered, "Then don't care what becomes Of
me-" His Injuries are not supposed to be dan.
geroua. The Minnesota was eventually got Oh
and towed under the guns of Fort Monroe.
The loss of one hundred killed, given you in
a former dispatch, was on board the Cumber-
land. The crew Of the Congress is scattered,
and there are no means of ascertaining her
loss at present.
The naval authorities and experts here are
confident that tho Merrimac Is disabled, and
that the Monitor is adequate TO her in every re-
spees.
z There i5 no longer any doubt that the rebels
have evacuated Centreville, Winchester and
other important points, indicating general fall
ing back Of their forces.
The telegraph to Fortress Monroe has been
iully occupied on Government business all day,
which has pteven ed the Associated Press dis
patch from coming.
There bas been no change iu the state Of af.
fairs at that point. s.
Every effort will be made to give the names
of the killed and wounded at he earliest mo-
meDt.

FPonl Arkansas.

ST. LOUIS, March l0--A correspondence of
the Missouri Democrat, dated Cross Hollows,
Arkansas, Mar h lst, says: Vigorous reconnois-
sances are kept up to watch the enemy's move
ments, and foraging parties are active in obtain
ing supplies. Pork and beef are purchased In
the vicinity in abundance, and about half the
quantity of -four required is obtained in the
same manner, and all our forage.
Price, whose retreat is acknowledged on all
hands TO have been ably conducted, has found
refuge in Boston Mountains. From two desert
ers who came into camp yesterday, it Is sscer-
tained that he is encamped on Cove Creek road,
while McCuloch ia posted one and half miles
distant. The latter had burned the village
near the Indian frontier, known as Coal HILL
The supplies Of the rebel army are obtained
from Van Buren,.
1t is stated on good authority that Piice and
McCulloch had violent quarrel before leaving
Cross Hollows.
AT Fayetteville We found all the telegraphic
dispatches up to the time of the evacuation BY
the rebels. A dispatch from Mcintosh to Her.
bert, in command at Cross HolloWs, urges him
to press forward and reinforce Price at Spring
field at all hazards, as that point is important
to be held by the Confederates.
Ex-senator johnson of Missouri, who opened
o recruiting Office in Springfield for the rebels
previous to Prices departure, was the first to
reach Fayetteville, where he stopped several
days.
The clemency Of Gen. Curtis, and the judi
cious policy inaugurated in relation to the treat
ment of citizens of Benton county, is bringing
It's reward In the general confidence already
showing indications Of being restored among
fugitves who aed at our approach.
Confederate bills, which were twenty five per
cent. discount on our arrival in Benton county,
have suddenly become valueless, and the in
habitants refuse to take them. ~
Maj. Wright learns that citizens of Keitsville
knew of the intended attack on that place, and
communicated the intelligence to the rebels,
but kept all illtimation of it from Capt. Mont
gomety. In lhe afternoon before the fight, the
ladies of the village left one BY one, and dur
Ing the attack sll we're out.
Mai. Wright slso learns that there are Ave
hundred and fifty rebels in Cedar county, Mo,
and one hundred and ninety in Dade county,
These parties are committing depredations
and swearing vengeance against Union men.
The health Of the troops has been good, par
ticularly on the march.

The Monitor Too Much for the Mer-
rImac, rtlf .iff

FORTRESS MoNRoE, March 10 With the as
distance of the steamer Spaulding, the Mime
sofa has been got off, and she is now on her
way here. She has received numerous shots
but no serious damage.
The Congress is supposed to have lost over
one hundred men, including but one officer
The escaped crews of the Cumberland and the
Congress have arrived here. "rf
The Monitor has come up to the expectations
that were formed of her, aud has proved her.
self impregnable to heavy shot at close quar-
terra. She behaved remarkably well on her
passage from New York, and although the sea
covered her decks completely at times, her
speed did not seem to be at all diminished. To
her presence here may be attributed the safety
of the Minnesota and other vessels in port, and
the final disabling Of the Merrimac, which had
previously been proof against everything -
Capt. Worden, of the Monitor, was wounded in
the head while he was looking out of the wheel
house No other accident of any kind occurred
to the battery or crew.
We have no accurate list OF the killed and
wounded.
