There will, of course be anxious, specu.

sofa was engaged in the late battle inea,
Murfeesboro. Let me say what 7 know
Of its connections. The Brigade (the
3rd) consists Of the 9th and a35 Ohio,
18th regulars, 87th Indiana q new regi.
ment) and the End Minnesota. To this
brigade is attached Loder's (regular) bat
terry, ably commanded by Lieut.. Smith
of St. Paul. When you hear of either 81
the above regiments or of that battery
being engaged, you may infer that the
second was in. So if the brigade COM
mander, Gen. Steadman, is named as to
the division commander, it is mixed. III,
y The division (the LIST. used to be Gen.
Thomas, but he now commands the Gen.
ter of Rosecrans army, consisting Of five
divisions of which his old "1st divi ion, :"
is one. The brigade. commanders were
Gems. Schepf, Fry and Steadman. On
Gen. Thomas having higher command,
Gen. Schepf succeeded to the division
as ranking Brigadier, but he is q be.
lieve) on the Bruce court of inquiry, and
Gen. Fry became division commander.
On the 17,h ult., Lieut.. Col. Bishop
wrote me that it was then understood that
Gen. Schuyler Hamilton was to command
the division. Gen. H., it will be remem-
bcred, was the commanderof the division
in which the 18th Minnesota served at Cor
inth. ..-,... ~. ...., r...s.. .,...F
So you read of Schepf's, or Fry's,
or Hamilton's division, being in an en-
gagement, it is we'll enough to count in
the Second. -. ., .:,..G... ---.... 80.
My own conjecture is, that our regi-
ment has not yet been engaged. I be-.
licve the division has been separated.
Col. Harlan's brigade, that we read OF
chasing Morgan up into Kentucky, take
to be Gen. Fry's brigade. Gen. Stead
mans was near Huntsville, Tennessee,
when last heard of, expecting to be re-
lieved, and join the main army at Nash
vile. .a.. q. ~. e.. ......,.t....-..... D
The I'd Minnesota, 35th Ohio and 18th
regulars, were just below where ''the in
evitable Morgan, gobbled brigade a
few weeks since. 1t is compliment to
our regiment and the others that Morgan
never called at their camp, although he
"gobbled' the detachment above, and
"shelled OUT the one below.
Yours, S. p. j.
-General Fry was captured by
the rebels on December 3lst with the haul
of 1000 prisoners taken in sudden raid
upon our right flank. 1t is possible,
therefore, that the Second Minnesota may
be among them. Gen. Hamilton COM
manded the reserves. SchGpff is not
mentioned.-ED.

to the Governors message, but they
formed a small portion Of the numerous
audience who had gathered for the same
purpose. An unusually large number Of

Governors exposition Of the affairs Of
his administration. s''s.T' So Z 7... 3y3a@s.
The message. which we print at length
on our second page, is a statesman-like and
digniied document, and presents very
clear and exhaustive review Of the trans
actions of the several departments. His
exhibit of the financial condition of the
State is particularly gratifying, especially
in view of the largely increased pressure
of taxation which the war has imposed
upon us-the wide destruction OF proper
ty inflicted by the Indian raid, and the
immense diminution of the labor re-
sources of the State from the withdrawal
of such large numbers of its citizens from
industrial pursuits to swell the ranks Of
the national armies. e.. >........1 ........ .

The trainers Of our constitution felt this,
and with express reference to the not in
frequent incursions Of savages on the from
tier settlements, in the early history of the
country, inserted an important exception to
the exclusive power Of making war vested
in Congress, viz -" No State shall engage
in war unless actually invaded or in such
iminent danger a. will not admit Of delay
Hence, upon the invasion of Virginia by
John Brown and his associates, that State
unhesitatingly assumed the power of trying,
convicting and furnishing, under her own
laws the invaders of her soil; power
which was then and has ever been un-
questioned. n r.-. - G-..,... !.
So, upon the first ruuor Of the raid up
on our borders, the State Militia were at
once summoned to the rescue of our en-
dangered settlements. A commander was
appointed by State authority aud the State
found herself engaged in defensive war.
The case contemplated by the Constitution
had arisen. . .Ea 4. ..a.s.az. ..sg.. p

power Of engaging in war was clearly in

Don't Support Tuttle.

We find the following in the Dubuque
Weekly Herald, of the 9th inst:
''The Muscatine Journal and other Aboli-
ton organs are quoting articles from this
paper denunciatory of the war, adding, as
they present the garbled extracts, that we sup
port Gen. Tuttle, who is at the head of an
army division, fighting in war which we
condemn. These fellows and the public have
no excuse for misunderstanding or mlsrepre-
sentipgU4 position. Gen. Tuttle's name oc-
cup place at the head Of the ticket as
priu<ed in this paper because it has beeppnt
there by the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, but we have never announced our sup
port of it. To advance the claims of Gen.
Tuttle would for us, be qualification and dis
honesty, something which we consider as
criminal in political sense as it is morally.
We are frank to say that between the two can.
didates, every man who loves his country
can have but one choice, but this admission
does not commit US to the support of Gen
Tuttle. Let us then be not misunderstood
for p-rson,lly we are not one Of Gen. Tuttle's
supporters" aft .,. ;-. H. ~, ----sizf-,-. I
If it is criminal and dishonest for Stilsor
Hutchins to support Gen., 'Tuttle,, how is il
with those men hereabouts who have opposed
the war? We, agree with Hitchins, that with
his views. he cannot support Tuttle, and it il
SO with all who believe with him. We ar
credrbIy informed that many of the oppo
nents of the war, residing in this country, ars
not going to vote, for, Tuttle. Although ",
loathe their sentiments we admire their con
sistency.-7ip.on Advertiser.

EA lie which is being constantly re-
peated in the Tory press is that the Rebel
Vice President, A. Il. Stephens, when he
went on his professed mission to Washington
to treat as to exchange of prisoners Of war,
had secret authority and instructions from
jeff. Davis to treat for the return of the Rebel
States to the Union, and that Lincoln, know
ing that fact, would not permit him to 60 to
Washington. It is pretended that Stephens
is Union man and anxious to bring back
the Rebel States into the Union. The false
hood Of this is shown by the fact that after
hi. return from that mission and after the vic,
tories of Vicksburg and Gettysburg, Mr..
Stephens made speech at Charlotte, N. c.,
the substance of which was published in the
Richmond Dispatch Of July 2ad, in which is
this passage:
"He exhorted the people to give the Gov.
ernment cordial support, to frown down all
,croakers and grumblers, and to remain
united, and fight to the bitter end for liberty
and Independence.
Gas for reconstruction, said Mr.. Stephens,
such thing was impossible-such an idea
must not be tolerated for an instant. Recon-
struction would not end the war, but would
produce q more horrible war than that in
which we are now engaged. The only terms
on which We can obtain permanent peace is
fiual and complete separation from the North.
Rather than submit to anything short Of that,
let us all resolve to die like men worthy Of
freedom.

= How THE SOLDIERS WILL VoTE Already
there are sufficient indications to show that
the soldiers will repudiate Gen. Tuttle with
positive and crushing Indignation. They are
not to be deceived by the hollow pretenses of
his letter while he necessarily stands on the
Copperhead platform, and takes his place side
by side with Duncombe and Mason, two of
the most radical dlsloyalists in the State
The soldiers may be relied on not to give any
comfort or encouragement whatever to the
Copperhead candidates. They understand
too we'll the issues now before the country
The are not afflicted with dimness of vision
or doubtlessness of sight They know no
neutrals, and with them the chasm which
separates loyal men from Copperheads is as
wide as the world and as deep as the pit
Other men may be deceived by double-deal-
ing and political knavery, but the soldiers
have been hunting and fighting rebels too
long not to know and despise them at sight
There may be dupes and dulhrds at home
but not in the army. The soldiers think for
themseloes and will not be deceived or drawn
into ambush. either by their enemies at home
or in the field.- Oskoloosa Hsrald. ..
