MAnoNY and STEWARD sent word that
they would rot only take the cath of al
legiance Internationally, but would also
make oath not TO annoy and harrass the
public officers concerned in their arrest. .
The oath was prepared, sent to them for
their approval, and the next morning
they appeared, stated it was as they de
sired, and subscribed it. They also vol
UNFAIRLY made oath that they were Meth
er of them members Of the Knights Of
the Golden Circle or any other associa
ton whose object was to resist the draft,
collection Of taxes, &c.
1t is thus apparent that they came out
of prison by meekly begging to take the
oath of allegiance, which, if taken when
first proffered to them would have re
leased them as early as the Goth day Of
September. The proposition not to
commence suits against the officers in.
strumental in their arrest came from
themselves, and it was inserted in the
oath upon their own application. The
Judge Advocate also declares that he
gave the discharge for MAHoNY an
STEWARD, and MuLKY and O'DELL, in
the usual form in such cases, and that
the words honorably discharged we're
not therein The words :" honorabIy dis
charg ed" about which MAHoNr and his
friends have prated so much, were, as
appears from statement of the Superin.
tendent of the prison also publish ed,
put in without authority, because Of the
persistent importantly of MAHoNY to
have it SO worded. The certificate was
given simply to prevent their rearrest as
runaway prisoners, and Mr.. WooD, the
superintendent, declares that he added
those words after much importantly,
thinking it would make no difference
how such pass or safeguard was word
ed.
Thus it appears that the whole subter-
fuge Of lies with which MAHoNY has
been filing the ears Of the public, has
been exploded. Instead of being incar-
cerated without charges and without
proof, he and his friends were fully cog
infant of the first and probably the last.
Instead of being confined without h. ar
ing, he was brought before the Judge
Advocate in September and proffered
his liberty il he won d take the oath OF
allegiance. Instead of being compelled
to make oath that he would not prose
cute those who arrested him, that proves
to be a proposition of his own making.
Instead of beng honorably discharg-
ed" he was simply discharged as other
rebels and traitors have been discharged
by taking the oath of allegiance and
giving his parole to commit no hostility

his treason and was released. And after
snivelling and begging to be allowed TO
take the oath of fealty, he comes home
to pirate of his honorable discharge, to
talk of the tyranny OF the government,
and to add the crime Of perjury to his
treason, by daily violating the terms Of
his release. Such is the pitiable spec
tacls presented in the person of the man
aspiring to be the next Governor of the
State of Iowa. Can Democracy have
fallen so low as 10 tolerate the preten-
sions OF this traitorous mountebank :?
We trust not.

Holly SPRINGS. Miss. Dec. 2lst. 1869

FRIEND R1CH Il wrote YOU few
days ago, stating that presumed our
regiment was stationed for the winter.
The next morning after that was sent
out, while the Colonel and myself were
at breakfast, messenger came in, stat
ing that the rebels were attacking our
hospital, which was about / of mile
fom the main camp, in house.
We started Immediately, but before
we got TO the hospital, the rebels, 3 in
number, had disappeared, with 5 horses
belonging to the Drs., and the ambulan-
ces aud men, and left. We pursued
them, by mounting | 5 men on mules, to
Wyatt, 6 miles, but did not overtake
them. On our return, we were met by
a messenger sent out to us, stating that
Holly Springs was taken by 5000 rebel
cavalry. We fastened back to camp,
formed our regiment in the best position
possible under the circumstances, and
awaited results. About 2 p. NJ, Col.
Marsh, With regt's, came in from Ok.
ford, and directed us to 90 to Waterford.
We arrived there about shutdown, and
staid till this morning. This morning
we received an order brigading US as
follows eth Iowa, 9th, 10th and 18th
Wisconsin, under command Of Col. Gil.
bert. In this order we marched to this
place to-day.
When we arrived, we found that the
rebels had been gone some "a hours, and
had in the mean lime burned and de-
stroyed all our commissary and quarter
masters stores, burned thirtysix cars,
spoiled two engines, and burned lot Of
the wagons, got pretty drunk, and pack
ed off on our mules and horses loads of
clothing and goods generally. We have
several hundred cavalry and flying artill,
cry in pursuit of this rebel force. How
long it will take us to overtake and chas-
tise him, is more than | can tell. But
am satisfied that they will be overtaken
and some OF them captured, and large
part of our goods retaken. They have
a little the start Of US, it is true, but then
hard work will overtake them somewhere,
and we might as well give them fits now
as ever.
We have but Of our companies here,

lie to take care of the bridge across the
river. Who is 10 blame for allowing
this attack 10 succeed, it is not my bust
ness to determine. The U. S. has lost
in property about 100000, or proba-
bly, more. The citizens here have taken
great many of these goods. The
houses will be searched, and persons
having such property. will be punished.
Thus You see our promised ease and
quiet for the winter was suddenly blot
ted out, and we find ourselves in state
of excited determination to fight some
body.
Where we will go, and how long we
will stay there, and what we will do
while there, you must wait for my next
TO disclose.

The --latest News.

SS- To-day's mail brought us budg-
ct of unfiattering news. The expedition
against Vicksburg has been abandoned
Our forces received a decided repulse,
and have embarked. The enemy were
in great force, and were strongly posted.
Our loss is 600 killed, LOO wounded
and 800 prisoners. The rebel loss is
comparatively trifling.
From Galveston we learn that the reb-
els had retaken the place, captured the
steamer Harriet Lane, and about 200
prisoners. Com. RENsHAw's flag ship,
the Westfeld, was ashore at the time,
and was blown up by its commander
One boats crew, with the Commodore
and Lieut.. ZIMMERMAN, were blown up by
prematurely firing the ship.
The only redeeming feature in the
news is the announcement that the reb
els were repulsed at Springfield, Nilsson,
ri, and that the place remains in Federal
hands.
