My objection to your first article was,
that you did not quote my own words as
the basis of your criticism. Had ycu done
so, you could have remained behind your
mask with impunTty. But you put words
of your own construction in my mouth, at
the same time claiming they We're my pub
lished sentiments, and make them the sub
ject Of your pious denunciations. When /
contend for the unconditional submission Of
every rebel, you make me "desire the ex-
termination of the whole white race of the
South" Do you not see, that the lnteg-
rity Of the Government demands the sub
mission of every rebel and that without
conditions; while the determination, the
numbering, for it could be nothing else, of
nom -combatants, helpless women and in
nocent children--"yea the determination OF

your special pleading. think | have
shown conclusively that you have egregi-
ously misstated my position, that in will
fully persisting in so doing, you dome gross
injustice, that in attributing to me the de-
sireto exterminate women and children, a
sentiment revolving to our common humani |
ty, for which you had no authority, you
have 80 far deviated from the truth, and
should to that extent lose the respect of all
Christian aud honorable men; and that
hereafter, however much you may squirm
and twist, you stand convicted (if not con-
guilty of "wilful misstatement

AS to your last impeachment, deem it
of notice, having as little foanda-
ton in fact as | have shown your first to
have, while the history of the times will be
the best proof of my position.
You will permit me to say in conclusion
that am not in the habit of "cursing,"
even when angry, and to express the wish
that you also are free from such an un-

The friends Of the Union cause in Iowa,

There is no officer connected with the ma

no one whom the disloyal element among

General Curtis has had but one thought,
the salvation Of the Republic. Among the

Gil any post of either danger in the field or

He has since been paroled.
