Accepts.

R- The Civilian OF last week an
nounces that il has received letter from
Captain MILLER, accepting the Copper
head nomination for Treasurer. We
certainly were in hopes, for his own sake,
that the Captain would not repeat the
role of FUTILE, and that he would not,
while protesting hearty hatred for the
fire in-the rear men, still lend them
countenance and support, How man
who has been in the army fighting the
battles Of his country, can come home
and affiliate with the men who are, ac-
cording TO every testimony Of the soldier,
responsible, by their opposition to the
government, for the continuance of the
war and the unfolding of rebellion, is a
puzzle TO us. Captain MILLER, in his
letter TO DAVID GILL, published in tie
Guardian of March Sd, said
" | have no sympathy with the Rebels, and
L am sorry to see the course that some people
are taking at the North II ,ciu ONLY make the
,rar last the longer"
And yet Captain MILLER strikes
hands with these men, assists them in
their course, and lends himself to their
purposes Of assisting the Rebels and pro-
longing the war, Does he expect that
any Union man will uphold him in this
mistaken coarse--a course he was one to
teach them to condemn ? If he does he
will find himself a wofully deceived
man.

EtF The Dubuque Herald started {

EF The Dubuque Herald started the
lie that Col. STONE, when sent by the
Shilo prisoners to Washington, to en-
deavor to induce the government to
adopt system of exchange, procured,
L rough The interposition Of Gov. KIRK
WOOD, his own exchange, and left his
fellow prisoners at Selma TO bear long
months of imprisonment, thus violating
promise made that unless he could OBJ =.
tain the release Of all, he would go back
and share imprisonment with them
This lie becomes so much the more in
famous, in view Of the really creditable
action Of Col STONE in the matter. The
facts are these, as given by the Des
Moines Register:
At the request Of Gen. PRENTIss and
fifty-nne other Union officers, fellow
prisoners with Col. STONE, the latter
started for Washington, with forty
days Through from the Rebel govern
ment, to see if he could not induce our
government 10 adopt cartel of exchange
for prisoners. Only one member of the
cabinet was in favor of the proposition,
and he had to abandon the direct object
Of his mission. Determined, hewever,
TO do all lie could for his fellow prisoners,
he obtained from the Paymaster General
for Them, two months pay, amounting to
about $4,000, for which he gave his
personal receipt, and sending ore half
the amount to their families, he invested
a portion of the other half in clothing
for the prisoners, and forwarded this and
the remainder OF the money to Selma.
These supplies were most gratefully re-
celved BY the prisoners, who had be-
come nearly destitute. When thirty
eight days Of his furlough had expired,
he went 10 Richmond, gave himself up
to the Rebels, aud was thrown into Lib.
by prison, where he remained two days.
He then, at the request of the Rebel Sec
rotary Of War, undertook another journ-
ey to Washington, to renew his applca
ton, receiving an extension of fifteen
days to his Through. Before the expi-
ration of that time, he succeeded in effect
ing the exchange of the entire number Of
Union prisoners at Selma, himself among
the number, and all were exchanged on
the 18th Of November together.
So much for this Rebel lie.

War News.

ES- The war news, the past week, has
been not only interesting, but of glori
Gus character. Gen. GILMORE has driv
en- the Rebels entirely from Morris ISL
and, and has taken Forts Wagner and
Gregg. All the Rebels got clear, with
the exception Of about 70, who were ia
ken prisoners. Gen. GILMORE is now
within full view of the city, and can
shell it when he pleases. The surrender
or destruction Of the city is certain.
Gen. RosEcRANs has taken Chatanoo.
ga, one of the most important points in
the Confederacy. He captured it with
out loss. This, with Gen. BURNSIDE s
occupation of Knoxville, entirely frees
Tennessee from the grasp of the Rebels.
The loyal demonstrations Of the East
Tennessee people were such as can only
be imagined. Gen. BURNSIDE also cap
tured Cumberland Gap, with 1000 pris
oners, and considerable munitions of war
The garrison surrendered without firing
a gun.
Gen. STEELE is making fine progress
towards Little Rock, and few weeks
will see The last vesfige of the Rebellion
West Of the Mississippi crushed out by
the defeat and dispersion OF PRICE and
his army. Thus the glorious tide Of
Union success rolls onward.

A Patriot.

Ey- SToNEwALL JACKSON and JEFF
DAVIS are the Dubuque Herald's models
Of patriots, as witness its fulsome eulogi-
es OF them. And the Herald supports
Gen. FUTILE, because FUTILE comes
nearer TO its standard Of patriotism than
does Col. STONE. Of course lie does,
and Of course those who don't believe
that JEFF DAVIS is good Union man, -
will go against Gen. FUTILE and the
Herald.

The Effort to Defeat Senator Grimes.


Is- If any one has been myslifed by
the course of the Copperhead leaders,
who, in spite of denunciations, strong
and repeated, Of war men and war meas
ures, are yet taking up and supporting
for office, war men, who have supported
and endorsed, and enforced, the most
stringent war measures, they may posi-,
bly, become enlightened by reading the
latest circular Of the Copperhead Central
Committee, marked "No 6, strictly pri-
vate," and dated August 10Th, 1868,
and addressed TO the Central Committee
men of the various counties. This
circular says:
cit is of the very first importance that the
Democratic party should carry a majority of
each branch oft next legislature of Iowa"
And again it says:
Bring out the strongest Candidates which
can be found in your Senatorial and Represen-
tatlye districts, sinking eoery other consideration
like heroes, to secure their election, and keen
them au, night and day, until the polls are
closed, and use every effort not disonorable, to
win the election. OF course, you arc the best
judges of the means Of success, but if in addi-
ton TO yonr local efforts and appliances you
desire AID from the State Central Committee, il
shall be 9irea you TO the ertept ofour ability, uDoa
requiSition.
There you have the Copperhead pro.
sramme, Sink every consideration of
success for the purpose Of carrying the
next legislature, and secure the defeat Of
Senator GRIMES. Work night and day
TO that end, affiliate with var men, with
with those who favor
a negro army -repudiate your own pro
LESSONS, eat your own declarations-do
secure the ascendancy in
the Legislature. That is why HUTCnINs,
the denouncer Of FUTILE in the State
Convention, and in his paper, supports
him now for Governor. This is why a
ticket of war and anti war mei7
is being run in this County. This is why
the Cipiltqn particularly and specially
aims its efforts against Mr.. HART.
Union men of Buchanan County, if
you would still have the State honored
and served by your able, true and faith
tnl Senator, Gov. GRIMES, be sure that
every vote you can giye-every vote you
can influences given for l. w. HART
aud d. d IIplDmDGE.

futile and the Soldiers.

GE- The soldiers begin to be heard
from. The 7lh and Cd Iowa, have both
expressed, in resolutions, an utter want
Of confidence in Gen. FUTILE, since he
has made his recent summersault into
the laps Of the Copperheads. The latter
regiment was Gen. Turtles old regi.
.ment, composed largely Of his old neigh
bcrs, and through whose glorious fight
ing Gen. Turtle gained his reputation.
They followed him SO long as he led
them against the rebels, but neither he
or any one else can lead them on the
side of the Copperheads, against the
government. Do they not know that
the men with whom Gen. FUTILE is
now assocated-the men from whom he
must get his support, and the men who,
if elected governor, would mark out and
dictate his line Of policy-do they not
kaow that these men have opposed them
whenever and hereyer opposition was
possible here at home Do they not
know that these men voted against the
proposition 10 issue bonds 10 assist the
government in sending Iowa soldiers in
to the field ? Do they not know that
every man who has opposed bounties
to volunteers, who has. discouraged
Soldiers Aid Societies, who! has repeat
ed and endorsed the Dubuque Herald's
in ANGUS libels upon the soldiers--do
they not know that every such man is a
supporter Of TuTTLE for the Guberna
t),ial Office And what folly TO expect
that they will strike hands with these
opposers Of the government. with these
enemies Of themselves and their families,
and labor heartily to give the State into
their control They will not do it, and
they are letting the world and Gen. TUT
TIE know that they will not.
AT the extra session of the legis-
iature Of this State, in 1861, called at
the breaking out Of the war, to take
measures for the sustaining of the gov
ernment, a bill was early introduced, en-
ntled, :" a Bill 70 appropriate money to
pay expenses now or hereafter incurred
by the State, IN calling out, organizing,
rniforming, subsisting and equipping
the militia Of the State, end purchasing
arms and munitions of war for the Stat,,
and in complying with the present or
any future requisiton of the President
Of the United States for volunteers from
this State" The most bitter opponents
Of this bill in the Senate Of the State, and |
one Of the 9 nays recorded against il,
was JonN i. DUNcoMBE, now Copgerhead
candidate fol Lieutenant Governor of the
State. lie also introduced ant: war res
