PEAcE.-We publish elsewhere an article
from the Richmond Enquirer, which We COM
mend to the earnest consideration Of our dear.
~ beloved advocates Of speace," Of the men
who profess to have so much regard for their
"erring brethren" Of the CoppeIheads who
sincerely believe that slavery is ''divine in.
stitution," and that slave owners have right,
not only to lord it over the "nigger," but like
wise over oil the whites in the nation. If the
Copperheads continue to profess allegiance to
their divinely appointed s'masters," after the
contemptuous spurning, the scornful kick,
which the Enquirer gives them, we think it
must be confessed that they are better Chris
tians than any one ever gave them credit for
being. They not merely turn both cheeks to
receive the blow which does not fail to be Civ
en-, but they kindly submit to any amount Of
lagelation the lords of the lash choose 70 infict
upon them. Verify, their humility, their
meekness, is charming amatter Of wonder
and admiration! But, still We do not expect
our copperhesds to desist from Offering their
s'poisonous embraces" to those who scorn them.
1t is so pleasant to be told. "Your breath is ma
laria;" your touch is death! What awelcome to
the Copperheads that is! Must they not feel
pleasant over it,.

VIVA, Gen. Fremon. Asked.
Correspondence OF the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON. March 81 l26

WASHINGTON, March 81, 1868.
The simplest justice to Gen. Fremont requires
a correction of the persstently repeated deca-
rations that he has been insisting on an indie
pendent command Gen. Fremont has simply
asked that he might be given something. any
thing, to do. He had two distinct plans Of ope.-
ration in different sections, for either of which
it seemed that be was peculiarly fitted, bat be
insisted on neither of them. His simple, sole
request was that he might be put into active
service. He made no objections to going any
where, doing anything And this poor boon, OF
being permitted to use the sword the country
had given him was what Republican Admins
tration once more refused to John G. Fremont.
The statement that this refusal was mainly, if
not entirely, due to Gen. Hallecks bitter hostil-
ity is probably correct. 1t rests at any rate,
upon no less authority than the explicit assertion
Of the Secretary of War, Mr.. Stanton, who said
he was in favor of giving Gen. Fremont GER
tain work to do; the President is known to have
| favored it. Mr. Stanton says distinctly it would
have beer done but for the opposition of Gen.
Hslleck. This seems positive enough, and whe.
Their Gen. Halleck can clear himself or not it
effectually narrows the matter down to two
men, the Commando sin. Chief, or the Secretary
of War. The fact is worth remembering.

ImmIgration to Iowa.

Notwithstanding the disturbed state of our
National affairs, it is gratifying to know that
in Iowa we have enjoyed continual quiet,
and are as unmolested by the war as though
peace reigned throughout the country. As q
result of this state Of quietude, it is evident
that immigration will be more sure to benefit
us, and that many who for years have been
thinking of home in the West will now nat
urally turn their eyes toward Iowa. 1t is be-
lieved that immigration this year to the West
win be much larger than for the past few
years. 1t is important, therefore, that we
take measures to secure our full share of its
that the American Emigrant Company is put
ting forth earnest endeavors now, the results
of which cannot fail to benefit our State and
to affect most sensibly the Counties in which
that Company holds land. An arrangement
has been entered into by that Company by
which ALEXANDER MCAUsLAND, a Scotchman,
who has for se,erel years resided in the West,
and who is pre-. emnently fitted for such a
mission, will visit his fellow countrymen, as
the Agent Of this Company, to induce those
emgrating to this country to settle upon the
lands of the Company in this State. 1t is a
subject with which Mr.. McAusland is famil-
lar. and in which he cannot fail of success
This Company is now negotiating also with
two other agents-one German to go to Ger
many, the other Swede to visit his native
country, on like missions. We understand
these Agents, and perhaps others to other
foreign countries, are to be kept permanently
abroad for the present, and until the large
amount of land held by the Company in this
State are settled. This Company expects how
ever, to bring the greater part of its settlers
from the Eastern and Middle States of oul
own country, and proposes within the next five
or six years to introduce enough industrious
| farmers and mechanics into the State, to oc.
cupy all Of the lands of the Company. Such
measure cannot fail to interest every citizen
and nothing can be productive of more rea
| good to the State. This company sells NJ
lands except to actual settlers, and at the low
est prices, giving long credit for the purchas,
money when desired, and in all cases reauir
| ing the planting of from FIVE to ten acres O
timber by the settler.
| This thing assumes the greater importanc,
when We reflect that this is the only organiza
ton now, of any description, that is maxim,
any effort whatever for the benefit of thi
State in this direction, and we are sure tha
all good men who have the welfare of commu
nifty at heart, will rejoice in its success

ReglmeDtai SutleT, y al Evans.
The above We respectfully ask you to publish
Arch bishop Hugne. on the Consumption
Act.
The following appears in the n. Y. Tribune
To the Editor of the, New York Tribune
the organ of the Catholic Archbishop of New
York for the past four years, ceases to be such
with the number of the l4th March. The words
" official organ of the Archbishop of New York"
are taken of, and family journal" substituted
instead. This viii be great relief to His Grace,
Archbishop Hughes, as we'll as to thousands Of
loyal Catholics in this city and elsewhere, who
were scandazed by the open and avowedly trea.
sonable course of the Record ever since the war
broke out, but more especially since the Presi-
dent issued his Emancipation Proclamation -
The Archbishop supposed, and very justly, too,
that the Anti-Catholic press would hearafter,
when opportunity offered, quote these treason
able illusions of the /" secesh editor of the
Record as emanating from Archbishop Hughes,
or, at least, that they we're published with bic
case. The Archbishop has been disguised With
the course of the Record for come time past,
but he has been too unwell of late to put bis
quietue on it. He could not, however, we pre-
sumo, stand this treason any longer, for the ar
ticle on Conscrption," in last weeks Record,
went 90 far as to call upon the people to oppose
its enforcement by force of arms, if necessary.
1t is well known than Archbishop Hughes holds
the very opposite opinion, for, not long since,
he preached sermon in st. Patrck's Cathedral,
the sum and substance of which was in favor of
drafting. He was for drafting in every case,
and for putting down the rebellion by over
whelmiDg numbers. By stating the above few
facts to your readers, you will oblige Catholic
who is for the Government and don't believe in
official organs, especially when conducted by
graduates OF the Herald office.

CHICAGO Provision TRADE.-The final foot

of Chicago, shows that the number Of hogs ac-
tually packed in that city, during the season just
ended is 970, 264, and the number of cattle killed
and packed, was AZ, l6S. Of this immense num-
Der, one firm, Cragin & Co., packed 1926 cat
tie, and sS,4Ss hogs. The number of hogs
packed in Cincinnati during the season, was
6s2,5s2. So that Chicago now appears to be
the greatest market in the world, for pork, and
beef, as we'll as for lumber and grain.
