Great CONFEDERATION.

The City of McGregor has been
visited with another terrible fire, which
broke out, as we are informed, in the
second story Of the building occupied
by Pat. Mcdonald, as saloon, on the
Market Square, about half past III
o'clock Sunday Pm From this point
the fire spread right and left with
great rapidity, and about 3 o'clock
was arrested by the Bank Block (fire
proof on the west, and by the demol-
ishment of John Elbling's cigar store
on the east. In this short time about
20 business and professional firms
and half dozen families were burned
out-the total loss being doubtless
$50, 900. In the confused condition of
our Office and material which is almost
a total wreck, we cannot be very mi
mute or accurate in statement.

The Recent Unsuccessful Boat Atfael
on Fort Sumter.

The flotilla consisted of fifteen or
twenty boats, manned by over one
hundred sailors. in command of Lieut..
Commander Wissahtckow, and one
hundred marines, under Capt. McAu.
ley. The entire force was command
ed by Commodore Stevens, of the
Monitor Patapsco. The boats were
towed within q short distance of the
fort, whence they advanced.
Three boats, under command of Viii
liams. Lieut.. Reamy and Ensign Por.
ter, landed and the parties attempted
to run up the ruins to the parapet,
when they were fred upon by musket.
~, and hand grenades thrown down
upon them. The slope was 60 sharu
that they were unable to reach the
parapet.
A signal was given from the fort
and in an instant all the rebel bate
ries opened on the fort and shell

smashed. and all that landed wer,
killed or captured. Lieut.. Bradford

The Boston Herald, one of the old
est Democratic papers in New Eng
land, thus admirably and forcibly de.
fines the duties of loyal men. These
remarks are especially applicable to
the people of Iowa at the present time,
and we earnestly commend them to
the attention Of our readers, and par.
ticularly to those of Democratic ante
cedcnts. We have two tickets in the
field, one the representative Of attach
ment to the Union, of faith in the Ad
ministration and earnest, uncompro.
missing hostility to the traitors wheth-
err at home or abroad the other, the
embodiment Of hatred to the Admins
tration, Of opposition to tho prosecu-
ton of the War, and of sympathy
with the South in the rebellion. The
principles expressed in the two plat
forms now before the people Of Iowa
are as diverse as light and darkness,
as loyalty and disloyalty. The ques-
ton for each man TO decide is, which
platform expresses the sentiments
best calculated to promote the inter.
csts of our nation in this, the hour OF
her dire calamity. But the promised
extract
It is no time now for men to be
grnmbling about trifcs, and finding
fault abont this, that and the other.
1t is no time for brainless demagogues
to spout their sympathics for Jefferson
Davis and his guerilla band. 1t is no
time for men to be finding fault
with the Union army. and the way
the war is being conducted. 1t is no
time for men to get up conventions to
sympathize with slavery and the slave
power, for that power is broken, and
broken in consequence of the folly of
the slave owners. The people should
so vote as to sustain the Union cause,
and vote for that party or that ticket
which will be the most likely to break
down the rebel leaders, and their
scheme for q Southern Confederacy
founded upon slavery and military
despotism. There is no lodging this
question. The last act in this solemn
drama is drawing to q close. and a
free people must see to it that they
are not cheated out of the fruits of
their labor They have gone into bat
tic and sacrificed their lives to main
tain the integrity Of the Union and
our system OF government. Millions
Of treasure have been expended for
the same purpose and now that the
prize is within our grasp it is impor-
tant that the advantage gained should
not be thrown away in consequence
of any fancicd mistakes of those in
power. Let US wait until the rebel
lion 10 over, and uutil the country is
out of danger from any interference
on the part of France or Great Brit
ain /; and then if men in high places
have abused their trusts, the people
can vote them down. 1t will not an
swer in this crisis to place men in
power whose sympathies are with the
rebels. The only hope left to the reb-
ell leaders is. that the North will d.
vide. and that the peace party at the
North may become triumphant. 1t is
the duty Of the people of the free
States to see TO it that the enemy de-
rive no advantages in this way by
elevating their friends in the free
States to power, to aid them in their
dying struggles.

From Rosecrans.
RATTLE At CPAwEJSu CREEK

DA1 AL ShAW
Private advices, received at Cincin-
natl ON the 18th, from the army OF
the Cumberland, represented both ar
mics in close quarters near Rome.
Undoubted intelligence was received
at Rosecrans' headquarters that
Bragg had been largely reinforced by
troops from Lees and Johnston's ar
mics and the entire of Buckner's com
mand, and that the rebel army now
numbers $4,000 effective men. That
they will give Rosecrans battle, if it
has not taken place already, is GER
tain. The report that Lee is in COM
mand of the rebels is not credited, al
though believed to be possible.
Burnside's army is en- route to rein
force Rosecrans, and troops are now
pouring into Kentucky, en- route for
Tennessee, by every railroad. Our
people are uneasy to hear the result
of every movement. At military head
quarters no fears are entertained of
Rosecrans' success. ...
Private letters from officers in Gen.
Rosecrans army more than confirm
all that has been printed touching the
numerous assertions from which the
rebel armies in front of the army OF
the Cumberland are suffering. Du-
ring the march to Chattanooga, not
far from five thousand of these fugi,
tives from the rebel service came
within our lines. ..t..... ...... ..
A desperate engagement common
ced on the morning of the 10Th inst
at III o'clock. The rebels made a
heavy attack on the corps of Gen
Thomas, forming the left wing of our
army, and at the same time they at
tackled the right wing, which was
thought to be feint Gen. McCook's
and Gen. Crittenden's troops were
thrown into the engagement as conve
niences offered the main portion OF
their forces being on the march at the
time. The fight Oh the left was of q
desperate character, the enemy was
repulsed, but on being reinforced, re
gained the position, from which they
were subsequently driven after an en-.
gagement of one hour and half. pun
ishiEg them severely. About 2 O'clock
in the afternoon the rebels made a
fierce dash on our centre, composed of
the Divisions of Gen. Van Cleves and
Reynolds. Gen. Van Clevc was at.
tackled on the right flank, and being
vigorously pushed by the rebels. fell
back until Gen. Carriers line was bro
ken, and the troops became much scat
tered. Gen. Thomas on the left, and
Gen. Davis on the right then pushed
forward their forces vigorously tow.
ards the gap. and after hard fight
recovered the ground which had been
lost on the extreme right.
The fight disclosed the intention Of
the rebels, which evidently was to get
between us and Chattanooga.
At about 6 A. NJ. Gen. Palmer, who
had gathered together our scattered
forces, and Gen. Negley, who had
been sent from the right flank to feel
the centre. pushed forward and estab-
lished our line as it had been before
the battle begun along the Chicominga
| Creek.
The country where the battle was
fought is level, but thickly overgrown
with small timber and brush wood,
and is very unfavorablc for the use of
artillery, very little of which was used.
The casualties in wounded are
heavy, but extremely light in killed.

Correspondence OF the Charles City Intelligence
LETTER FROM KANSAS.

FRIEND HILDRETH kansas is land
of tragedy, and her life-scenes are
penciled in blood. The State was Sc
cured to Freedom by eight years OF
struggle, by almost incessant wal
and contention against the Slavo.pow'
er backed by the Government itself.
When Kansas came into the Union
she enjoyed a short season of quiet,
but on the breaking out of the rebel.
lion the old scenes of blood-shed and
murder were again inaagurated.
1t does not seem to me that the
radical" men of Kansas take the
proper course to secure peace. For
instance, a party of Red.lcgs or Jay.
hawkers will cross the border, hang or
shoot thirty or forty men. possess
themselves Of supply of horses and
other property, as they say. for in
demnity for the past aud security for
the future" This is security" for
a retaliatory expedition, and as the
men who conduct these arc outlaws,
even in their own State, they commit
the most barbarous outrages. unheard
Of in any civilized country. Since the
settlement of Kansas they have burn
ed and pillaged nearly every town in
the State. They have twice burned
Lawrence. They have sacked Hum
boldt, Gardner, Olathe, Aubrey and
Sha wneetown-all Kansas towns
during the present war. Ossawatomie
was both sacked and burned in 1856.
Lcavenworth was plundered. Phillips
murdered. and three hundred Free
State men driven out in September
