The course pursued by the opposition pa
pers and opposition stumpers toward Col
Stone, is mean in the extreme. They can
not speak good word for their own candi-
date without defaming the character of the
other. Col. Stone is characterized as a
paltroon, and destitute of every soldierly
qualification. They seem to take it for
granted that to blacken the character of the
one must necessarily increase the fame of
the other. Just as soon as the election is
over Gen. Tuttle will be dropped by them,
and they will think and speak as well of
Col. Stone as they do of him. We have no
inclination to detract from Gen. Tuttle any
thing that he has earned on the field. We
have always spoken well of him as an Off
Ger, but we object to giving him an undue
elevation at the expense Of another brave
officer as himself Col. Stones military
career will not suffer by comparison with
the other. He has been in as many battles
and shown as much courage. Ifqualifica-
tions for Governor are to be thus measured
you have no advantage. What do you say
about other qualifications? Suppose
you institute further comparison and see
what you make Of it.-KeosanqaG Repab.

Visit of Adjutant General ThOm-
as to NatcheZ...The NatcheZ Ar.
iStOcracy for the Union.
VICKsBURG, Aug. II, 1868

VICKsBURG, Aug. II, 1868.
The day before yesterday, in the after
noon, Adjutant General Thomas boat, the
Ben Franklin, having on board Gen. Grant
and his family, and Colonels Logan and
Riggin, and DR.. Hewitt of the staff, as in
vited guests, started down the river for
Natchez. The trip occupied about nine
hours, and the party was met by Gen. Ran
som, the commander of the post, who
came on board and break kfasted with Gen.
Thomas. Horses were provided, and the
whole party rode up to General Ransom s
was intense, around the city. Natchez is
by far the most beautiful town on the riv-
err 1t is situated on high bluff, a portion
of the same ridge touches the river at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and also sew
eral points on the Big Black River. 1t ri
ses perpendicularly two or three hundred
feet out of the river, there being barely
room at the foot for a levee, road, and a
few stores. The city is beautifully built
The houses are separated by fine gardens,
and the grounds are in some cases very
extensive.
The whole party visited the residence OF
Mr.. Surget. which is called Clifton. The
house is one of the finest ever saw. The
walls are covered with rare paintings and
engrayings, and the rooms and walls are
lofty and spacious. The grounds are very
extensive and comprise beautiful and
ismoothly-shaven lawn, dotted here and
| there with fine trees, garden and park.
| From the edge of the bluff the view is very
remarkable. The windings of the Missis-
sippi can be seen for a long distance, and
| the interval land is covered by extensive
| corn and grain fields, as far as the eye can
reach. The plantation buildings are far
more substantial and neat than in most
parts of the South. In fact, this is one OF
| the richest localities in the country. A
great many of the residents own planta'
tons on the Louisiana side. There is, per-
haps, scarcely town in the country where
the average Of wealth to each inhabitant is
so high. 1t is a common saying, that II
man is not worth a million of dollars he is
not well off; and, though this is OF course
an exaggeration, l was told by one OF the
citizens that there were very few people III
l Natchez worth less than one or two hund-
red thousand dollars.
/ understand the object Of this trip to
have been that Generals Grant and Thom-
as might confer with the citizens, as to the
status and the amount Of protection ano
aid that should be afforded them by the
military authorities. 1t is peculiarly for.
| tunate that Gen. Thomas was charged with
the mission, for he was stationed at Nat
chez thirty years ago, on recruiting ser
vice. and remained here two years. Near
ly eyery one he met remembered him. apC

Dry Goods.

Trade{has assumed its full proportions.
The sales this last week have exceeded
those made in any one previous week.
Jobbers and dealers are large buyers Of all
desirable goods, even previous to arrival.
Stocks are short all over the country. The
print market is very active at steady prices,
and orders are being given for future deliv-
cry; desirable styles being scarce. There
is considerable demand for Manchester
prints. Standard cotton goods are not so
active as other kinds. Brown and bleach
ed shirtings and sheetings are a little lower.
A great start has been made in printed de-
LANES. All-wool goods of lively and desl-
rable patterns are now produced by the
Manchester company, that beat the French
to which they are preferred, commanding
better price in market. These are sell
ing to arrive at 424c.; cotton and wool mix
ed delaines are selling at &c. The move
ment in fancy cassimeres is very active
The sales are very heavy, at full previous
prices. The country dealers are all scant
of goods, and begin to buy more literally
than they have done for some time past
Satinets are rather quiet: Doeskins are
moderately active at steady prices. Flan-
nels are much wanted. There is no assort-
ment in market. Cloakings are in good
request. Shawls sell freely on arrival
The supply is limited at present, large Or
ders having been given to arrive. Army
kerseys are dull. The army contracts at
Philadelphia have been taken at prices be-
low cost Of production.
Foreign good arein great activity. Goods
are being taken freely out of bond, and ar

British dress goods are sought for eagerly,
and the supply. is found insufficient. Plain
colored dress goods, especially alpaca and
coburg, are selling to arrive by coming
packets. Prices, are considerably higher.
Some desirable kinds are out of the market.
Saxony dress goods are Offering freely at
auction, meeting good demand. French
delaines and merinos are advancing, and

and wanted. Heavy woollens are being

THE EUROPEAN HARvEsT.-The leading
article of the Mark Lane Express of Au-
gust 18th, contains the following upon the
harvest in Great Britain and on the Cont
nent. II says:
"With another week of splendid wealth
er, large proportion of the fine crop of
wheat may be considered either gathered
or safe. It would appear that it will be no
difficulty this season to find samples that
will weigh 66 pounds per bushel and ma
ny oats exhibited are A pounds to the
bushel. Barley must vary much, and but
a small yield of oats will be gathered on
the light soils. Peas also turn out less than
expected, and beans will be very partial:
Potatoes are good, but not abundant, and
the west and southwest OF Ireland are
now beginning to complain of disease
while in Prussia the yield is very deficient.
The North of Europe, it would appear, has
not had weather equal to our own, the har-
vest having been impeded by rain, which
has affected the condition of much OF the
new corn brought to market, but prices
have generally been pointing downward
for the want of encouragement from Eng
land. France continues to take the lead in
a lower scale of prices, the liberal offers
and fine quality of the new wheat giving
millers full assurance of plenty. The
same state of things has obtained here

Resolutions

Adopted at the Union Mass Meeting, at
Springfield, Illinois, September 3rd, 1853.
ResOtUed, That this unholy rebellion was
commenced without any justitiable cause;
that it has been maintained in violation of
every principle Of justice and humanity,
and that it is the duty of the Government
to suppress it, by the use of every consti-
tutional means within its power.
ResOl0ed, That we will lay aside all
party questions, forget all party prejudices,
the support of the Government until the
rebellion shall be finally and forever
crushed.
ResOlUed, That whatever else may die,
the Union shall live to perpetuate Civil
Liberty; whatever else may perish, the
Government shall survive in all its consti-
| tutional integrity; whatever else may be
destroyed, the nation shall be preserved
| in its territorial unity: and to this end we
| pledge anew our lives, our fortunes, and
our sacred honor.
| ReSotUed, That the strength of our Gov
| ernment consists in the respect OF the peo-
| pie for the laws and its constituted author
lues and whoever opposes the execution OF
| the laws, whether by open rebellion, as in
| the disloyal States or by secret combine
| tiOns, as in the loyal States, or teaches 9TH
! ers SO TO do, is an enemy 10 Repu bllcan
Liberty.
| Resolued, That the recent successes of our
| army ana navy 10TH SloIIcuS IeCOTU up-
On the page of history; that our gallant sol-
diers have won for themselves imperisha-
| ble renown; that their victories indicate
speedy overthrow of the rebellion, and
strengthen our confidence in the wisdom
and efficiency of the Government
Resotued, That the course of that portion
of the Democratic party, who have not for
gotten the dying injunction of Stephen A.
| Douglas, and who have in the hour of our
country's trouble, nobly rallied to its STAN
dard, and who have placed their country
and its destiny above and beyond mere
partisan success, meets our hearty and pat
| riotic admiration, and their services will
live in the memory of grateful people,
so long as Constitutional Liberty shall re-
main.
| Resol0ed, That we tender our heartfelt
sympathies to the thousands Of wounded
heroes, to the multitude of widows and Or
phans who are scattered over the land, in
consequence of this unholy rebellion, and
we assure them that grateful country will
remember them in the hour of their neces-
sity and disaster, as well as cherish the
memory of the gallant dead.
| ReSOlUed, That view ofthe xtraordina-
ry difficulties and embarrassmehts, which
have environed our National and State af-
fairs, during the present atrocious REBEL
ion, the efforts of the constituted authori-
ties of our National and State governments
commend themselves to our highest respect
for the zeal, ability and fidelity with which
they have been marked,

WooLEN FAcToRY.-Fort Madison will
soon be able to boast of having within its
limits the largest woolen factory in the
State. We paid visit to it few days
since, and cleaned the following particulars
concerning it: The Factory is wooden
structure, GA by 40, exclusive of the ma
chine department., and four stories in
height. The Factory will be supplied with
water by dam to be built in the creek
running in Penitentiary hollow, a well and
capacious cistern. When completed it will
run four sets of Cards, and nine hundred
spindles. and will turn out about 600 yards
OF cloth per day. 1t will give employment
to about sixty hands.
The building is now enclosed and nearly
ready for the machinery, and will be COM
pleted early in November. Messrs. Saw
yer Brothers deserve great credit at the
hands of the people Of Fort Madison, and
Lee county generally, for the enterprise
manifested by them in the erection Of such
an extensive Factory, one which will
prove of incalculable benefit to this com
munity, and will reflect honor on the State
at large. Messrs. S. calculate adding a
Knitting Machine to the establishment

ANOTHER "BAYoNET VICToRY."-Just
before the late election, fifteen hundred
thousand United States troops were sent
into California, to prevent all from voting
who would not take the oath of allegiance
and swear to support the Union Ticket
Not Democrat was allowed to approach
the polls. The minions of despotism who
wore the Federal uniform, voted also, and
more than hundred thousand of them
voted three times apiece.
Some Of the scenes, as described by our
correspondent Cop, must have been heart
rending. One ofthe soldiers went upfto the
polls to vote, and seeing Democrat just
before him who had refused to take the
oath, fixed his ballot on the point of his
bayonet, run the cold steel into the back
and out of the breast Of the unfortunate
man, and lifting bayonet, man and all into
the faces Of the judges, exclaimed with he'll
lish glee, Here's my vote, by -" The
judges were Union men and used to bloody
scenes though they were tainted on the spot.
The unfortunate victim of the hatred Of
this pimp of despotism, was married man,
and leaves wife not yet seventeen years
OF age, and eleven children to mourn his
loss; eight of the children are but one year
old.
How long will free, intelligent people
endure these things? Is there no remedy?
Must we be kept out of the Federal crib
fourteen months longer? When, oh, when
shall we find rest! dubuque Times.

THAT FIENDIsH MURDER!-So far as we
know, not Tory paper in Iowa has devo-
ted any portion of its columns to report
of the fiendish Copperhead murder in Ma
haska county. A Lieutenant in the Fede-
raj army who had fought like hero at
Pea Ridge, Shiloh and other places. was
set upon by a company of Tories at Peoria,
Mahaska county, and shot dead, He had
come home on a brief visit to his friends,
having earned right to little repose by
his distinguished services in the field. He
escaped from the bullets of the rebels, to be
shot dOcn like q dog by q Northern Traitor,
He was defenseless in the midst of his ene-
mics, and was killed outright by rifle
ball which was sent through his heart by a
supporter of General Tuttle! Why are the
Tory papers silent with regard to this great
outrage? They have not denounced ii in a
single instance. 1t is not to be presumed
that sheets which have been engaged in
wholesale abuse and denunciation of Iowa
soldiers, should have a word Of condemna-
ton for this foul murder! Ii Iowa soldiers
do not desire to be murdered at their
homes by Iowa Copperheads, they had bet
ter prepare themselves for every emergen.
