NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO Iowa COMMISSION.
ERs.-Wm. B. Fairfield. Of Charles City. and
J. B. Brady. Of Delhi, on their way to New
Orleans to take the votes Of Iowa regiments,
were on board the steamer Robert Campbell,
which was burned at Milliken's Bend on the
morning of September 28th. Mr.. Fairfield
writes US that Brady and himself lost their
baggage, poll books and everything else but
their lives. The escape was narrow one.
They took the next boat to New Orleans and
will probably receive the votes Of the soldiers

The Waterloo Courier has seen tit to take
us to task eor our comments on the murder
Of Sergeant Alloway in Mahaska county by
a Copperhcad. We published the facts in
the case as they were elected in the exami.
nation Of witnesses. Sergeant Alloway was
the victim Of cold-bloodcd, brutal murder.
We made such comments on the matter m
were suggested by the RendishnesS Of this
Copperhead crime We have nothing to
take back. If we mistake not. the Waterloo
Courier is at present recognized rs the organ
Of the Copperhcads in Black Hawk county.
II has turned its back on the Republican can.
didate for Senator in that District, and is
using whatever ability it POSSESSES to secure
the election Of his Butternut competition
We are well able to stand the abuse Of that
guasi.loyal sheet. As specimen Of the
Courier's knowledge Of nen and things, we
give the following quotation from its editorial
columns:
even Daniel o. Finch--than whom
purer patriot never ived-docs not escape
the black vomit Of the Register"
Loyal men hereabouts who are acquainted
with the political status of Finch, will be az.
tonished to hear of his pure and fervent pat.
riotism. If constant political association
with such Butternuts as George w. Jones,
Mahony, Augustus Caesar Dodge, and Henry
Clay Dean, is proof Of a mans patriotism,
then Finch is patriot and Christian
The Courier publishes falsehood in its
charge that the Register was elated over the
death of Tallcy in Keokuk county. The
circumstances Of that case were these: Tai.
ley, double-dyed Traitor to his country,
fired into crowd Of Union men, and was
killed for his attempted murder. In com.
menting upon this affair, we stated that Tai.
ley had invoked death by his act, and he de-.
served to die. We said, moreover, that the
life of such man was q greater calamity
than his death. The Courier and other But
ternut organs may make tho most Of this
language.
Under the circumstances. perhaps. the
Register is rather severe on our ncShbor the
Courier. The surprising course in politics
that the latter journal has Of late pursued we
feel confident would not have been had the
editor, W. H. Hartman, been st home
Some six weeks ago he went East on visit,
and left his paper in charge cf one A. j.
Kenny, whom he doubtless supposed to be q
thorough going Union man. That our friend
Hartman was deceived and that Kenny has
betrayed his trust the Couritr editorials fully
indicate. In behalf of Mr.. Hartman we
make this explanation, feeling assured that
on his return to the Courier's helm he will
at once bring it back into line.

MORE EVIDENCE OF VALLASDIGHAM's TREA-
soN.-Tn a speech at Galliapolis, Ohio, Sept.
2sth, Gen. S. F. Carey mentioned fact that
voters should remember, to wit Vallandig-
ham introduced into the House a resolution
declaring vacant the seats Of Blair Of Mo-,
and Curtis Of Iowa, because they had gone
into the Union Army, while he voted against
a resolution for the expulsion Of Mr. Clark,
who bad gone into the rebel army. In what
act, since the rebellion broke out, has not
Vallandgham proved himself to be trail
tor?
And yet the futile party Of Iowa openly
advocate the election Of Vallandigham. Vot.
ing for Copperheads in Iowa is nothing less
than voting for Copperheads in Ohio.

VOTE FOR CLARKsON.

BY all means vote for Clarkson. If Sam.
Brainard ia what he is 70 assiduously en-
deavoring to make loyal men believe he is,
why is he running on the Copperhead ticket !?
No man that is thoroughly sound would con.
sent to occupy his position. We cannot but
believe that in case Of his election his votes
would prove his alliance with LIE Grand By.

want to return Grimes and Harlan to repre-.

Tar DISTANCE 10 TEAvEL.--Sone idea Of
the length Of time required to reinforce Gen.
Rosccrans from Vicksburg may be obtained
by considering the distance between that
city and Chattanooga. First, there are 347
miles Of stcamboating to Memphis, and next,
By railroad from Memphis to Chattanooga is
800 miles. But the road is not open all the
way. Trains run regularly from Corinta to
Julia, the latter us miles, and it is not un.
likely that the road may have been opened
to Decatur, 70 miles further east. There
should. too, be railroad communication be-
tween Stevenson and Chattanooga, BY means
Of the Nashville and Central road, the dis
lance between these two places being 81
rifles. But We can hardly reckon on more
