SHIP CANAL CONVENTION.

A call has been issued for National Ca
nal Convention to be held in Chicago on the
first Tuesday in June next, and all those IRE
garding the enlargement of the canals be-
tween the Mississippi and the Atlantic as of
great national, commercial and military i'm
portancc, and as tending to promote the de-
velopment, prosperity and unity of our whole
country" are cordially invited to attend
Iowa is deeply interested in this project, and
should be largely represented at the coming
Convention. A ship canal connecting the
Mississippi with Lake Michigan would be an
invaluable boon to our State, the practical
benefits of which we could hardly over-es-
innate. Railroading is always an expensive
mode Of transportation, and as Iowa annu-
ally exports millions of dollars worth of pro-
duce, she has vital interest in any measure
having a tendency to cheaper freights.-
Water transportation to the seaboard would
yearly put into the pockets of our people
vast sums of money which now go into the
hands of railroad monopolies.

NEWS nv LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

The latest advces we have from Grants
army are up to Saturday morning of last
week. The report that we had possession Of
Vicksburg was premature, though undoubt-
eddy it is in our hands before this, as the
rebels had been driven steadily back. The
outer Notifications Of the city had been cap
tured, and the rebels were in their last line
Of entertainments. The guns of the outer
line of defenses had been captured and turn
ed on the city. The river fleet is CO. opera
ting with Grant, by bombarding the city
There is report through rebel sources that
the place had fallen, and that Pemberton had
escaped with most Of his army, but lost all
his artillery. This, however, is not confirm
ed. The latest reliable news we have is con-
tanned in the following dispatch received by
way of Cairo:
Friday morning Pemberton sent a flag of
truce offering to surrender the place on con
dition that he be allowed to march out after
grounding arms.
Gen. Grant refused the terms and at ten
hhcatlons. A sanguinary battle ensued, in
which the Federal loss was severe, The reb.
els fought with GOODNESS and desperation, re-
serving their lire until our forces came within
murderous range. The rebels. were driven
back, however, by main force into their last
line OF entertainments. That was the situa-
ton Friday evening. and the contest had not
been renewed when the boat left Saturday
morning. wr# y.~ .f -
The mortar boats were throwing an occa.
siOnal SHE'LL -. ..f b..
We have captured the batteries both above
and below the town, and the two wings of
the army rest upon the river above and be-
low fs. aHa
If Pemberton escapes he must cut his way
through our lines.
General Logan is guarding Black River
Bridge, and it is believed that he will be able
to keep Johnston back with any reinforce
ments which he is likely to receive, Penn.
berton's force is strong &.
Washington dispatches state that the town
is still greatly excited over the news from
Vicksburg, and there seems to be not par
tcle OF doubt in any quarter, but what Gen.
Grant will succeed in capturing Vicksbury.
and most of the rebel army there.
Gen. Hooker is in town to-day, the 9th,
and speaks in enthusiastic terms of Grant
and his successes. He states that the rebels
on the Rappahannock, admit they have lost
Vicksburg.
1t is reported that Beauregard has left
Charleston with most of his 0rces for the
West, or Virginia; most probably for the
former, though it is possible he has been or.
dered to Lee on the Rappahannock. O..

VALLANDIGHAM's reception by his south
ern brethren was not very cordial one. On
being sent to the rebel lines they at first re-
fused to receive him at all, but finally con-
sented. Mr.. V. then addressed the guard,
at the same time asking the Federal officers,
who had him in charge, to pay attention to
his words: 81 am citizen of Ohio, of the
United States of America, sent within your
lines against my will, and hope you will
receive me as your prisoner.

ADJUTANT General Thomas reports, it is
said, that ten negro regiments are already Or
ganized and full, in General Grants Depart
ment, and that the business of recruiting is
still going on with the best prospects for ten
more within short time. That is pleasant
news to us and to all who desire the rebellion
to be suppressed. Wesuppose the rebels are
not gratified by it any more than are the
Copperheads. Both of these classes are be-.
ginning to find out that the negroes are both
able and willing to fight when they have a
sufficient motive. They no longer call the
blacks towards. But then it is SO outrageous
for white traitors to be beaten by dark skin
ned patriots! 1t must be hard to bear-for
them.

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-In recent number
of the Boston Daily Traveller, is the following
report of a case tiled in the Superior Court
ofthat City:
The Plaintiffs claimed $4,000 balance
due for platform Scale sold defendant
The defence was, that the Scale was to be
equal to sample Of Fairbanks make. He
claimed that it was inferior, and therefore
demanded deduction from the price,
Evidence was introduced to show that the
Scale supplied was of not more than half the
strength Of the Fairbanks Scale, with. which
it was to be equal in every respect. Verdict
for plaintiffs, $64,6O."

NEAR PORT GIBSON, Mss,
May 5th, 1868.
DEAR GAZETTE I take this, the first op-
portunity, to write you few lines, telling of
our whereabouts, &C. We left Perkins Plan.
tation on the 2sth of April, and dropped
down the river opposite Grand Gulf. On the
Goth, the gunboats attacked the place. Tie
fight lasted until late in the afternoon, when
the gunboats drew off and the troops were
landed on the Louisiana shore, and passed
the city by land, The artillery and horses
were left aboard the boats. A short time af
ter dark the transports ran the blockade with
little or no damage gunboats attacking
the place with great fury to draw the fire
from those noble little steamers. On the
morning of the 18th we were placed aboard
the boats, and dropped down the river to Rod
ney, where we landed, and after drawing
three days rations we took up our line of
march to Port Gibson. About o'clock on
the morning of May LIST, our advance was
fired upon by the rebels. fastening forward
We formed battery and gave them as good as
they sent. Their shot and shell came whist
ling by uncomfortably close, and once in a
while they sent canister by way of a change
This firing was kept up until about O. clock
A. NJ, when it ceased until about A. NJ, when
the ball was again opened. After the artil-
lery had been firing short time, the infant
ry were ordered to advance, which they did
in good style, driving the enemy before them.
Gen. Carr has endeared himself to his COM
mand by his noble bearing before the enemy.
Lieut.. Waterbury won the admiration of all

23d Iowa have won name upon the book
Of fame.-and as for the Battery, officers and
men did their whole duty. The battle con-
tinued until nearly dark, when it ceased, and
our men rested on their arms. At daylight
it was found the bird had flown across Bayou
Pierre, burning two new suspension bridges,
and one railroad bridge,-the whole being
worth about fifty thousand dollars. We
pursued them into Port Gibson, which is
very beautiful little village of about eight
hundred Inhabitants in time of peace
The bridge was replaced by o'clock P. NJ.
and our troops moved rapidly on to Rocky
Springs.
Our loss during the battle, killed, wounded
and missing, will number about four hundred
The rebel loss in killed and wounded is near
ly double this, and we have taken number
of prisoners, also several pieces of artillery.
In the Battery there were FIVE men wounded,
Sergeant Leibert severely, the remainder
slightly. More anon.

SENATORIAL.

We have State Senator to elect this fall
in this District, and it is about time to think
about calling a Convention. Who compose
the Senatorial District Committee We have
made several enquiries and cannot learn. The
last canvass occurred before we came to the
State, and at a time when there was no press
in the place,-therefore we have not been
able to obtain any record of the proceedings
OF the last Convention which was held in
this place. If any one can give us the de-
sired information it would be thankfully re-.
ceived. From the fact that the late Grundy
County Convention elected delegates to at
tend the Senatorial Convention to be held at
Cedar Falls, we have thought it probable that
the Convention Of four years ago might have
adjourned to meet again at this place. Since
the last canvass Hardin County has been add
ed to the District, and thus probably is not
represented in the District Committee. We
hope that if this article falls under the eye
OF any member Of said committee, he will
favor US with all the light he may have on
this subject. .......
In speaking Of a candidate the Hardin
County Sentinel has the following, which will
receive the hearty endorsement of all loyal
men: .-.-
