s: a private letter from Rob. Gemmill,
broiher-in law Of Sam de Haven of this
city, several weeks ago informed VIM. II.
Harding, Of the American House, in this
city, that his son james, for several years
a resident Of McGregor, and supposed to
have been pursuing the quiet avocatons OF
industry in Texas, was among the list OF
rebel officers captured at Arkansas Post
Hearing incidentally that the prisoners
captured at that post were to be confined
in Camp Chase, Ohio, Mr.. Harding immedi-
ately went to Columbus to get his son re-
leased and bring him home, if that were
possible. His efforts, however, proved un.
availing, and Reluctantly and sorrowfully
he turned his face homeward, disappointed
and sad. The officer in command at the
Camp assured Mr.. Harding that he would
make every possible effort to learn some
thing Of the whereabouts of his son to re-
lieve his anxiety, and perchance to lead to
his return. Well did he enter into this
laborsof love. Letters were dispatched to
all the military camps in the Northwest, re.
wards offered for information of his where
abouts, and unremitted inquiries made for
series Of weeks to obtain the desired in.
formation. ..M .....
We have had the pleasure of seeing a
letter from this officer to Mr. H., detailing
what he had done. Offering consolation, and
stating that he should continue his investi.
cations SO long as there was ground for
hope. a de-. ....... .-.
The name of this truly christian gentle
man and officer is E. P. Drake, and it gives
us sincere pleasure to publish this slight
tribute to his worth The whole country
would be none the worse off if such men
as he were multiplied. -......

Mr.. II. 9. HoPKINs-D Dear Sir The
American Cooking Stove obtained from
you has given full satisfaction in every
particular. Mrs. C. thinks it the perfec.
ton Of cooking stoves. As a baker we
have never had its equal; indeed, for all the
uses of stove, it has always been just the
thing. The arrangements for draft. for
boiling, for ashes, and the perfect fitting
of every part, after trial Of over seven
months, equal every expectation that we
had hoped for. 90
Yours truly, GEO. NJ. COLGATE.

WANTS TO Know. The Elkader .1ou, nal
in all seriousness wants to know Of US if
the wearing of copper pins is not "open,
barefaced treason?' The question is al
most too ridiculous to be entertained, but as
It's courteously asked we mast reply, and
should have done SO last week had not his
articles escaped our notice. We answer
no, sir. The Constitution defines treason
to be levying war against the United States,
or giving aid and comfort to its enemies.-
The wearing Of the humblest coin Of the
realm hardly comes within the above def.
milton. We think it bad taste to wear
these pins in any event; but if worn to
designate the wearer as beinga sympa,hiz-
.er with the rebels, it becomes very wrong
act. Nevertheless a man can no more be
held, for that act, guilty of treason than If
he were to wear cooked hat, or knee
breeches and buckles.

tH- At the time Of writing this item,
Tuesday afternoon, there is no clearly de.
fined information as to the mooted question,
who occupies Richmond. We arc inclined
10 discredit the reported capture, for the
reason that the suppression of such good
news by the government could work no
possible good, and the divulging Of it no
possible harm. sa.

The Rappahannoclk Battles.


The splendid army of the Potomac which,
on Tuesday, April 2sth, moved across the
Rappahannock, on the 9Th inst, returned to the
north bank Of the river--impelled thereto not
by defeats, but by the rapid rise of the river
which threatened to cut off Hooker from his
base of supplies. Our losses in killed, wound.
ed and missing. foot up the appalling sum of
l2 600, but little over thousand being prison
ers of war. The rebel loss is estimated at Is
to 10000. The purposes and results of this
great battle, are hardly developed sufficiently
to give material for little more than speculation
Thus, it is not at this writing settled whether
Gen. Hooker accomplished his purpose in at.
lacking Lee, whether he attempted to drive
him from his position. or merely to engage his
attention, and that Of the whole country, while
another force made the regular attack upon
Richmond. He who waits not for time to I'm.
ravel these uncertainties, will surely find him
self adoat upon sea Of speculation.

We clip the following extract from an edi.
torial in the last number of the Clayton Co.
Journal:
ga Convention Of the unconditional Union
men of Clayton County will be held at Elkader
on Wednesday, the Goth day of May, A. d
1863, at one o'clock Pm, of said day, for the
purpose Of selecting delegates to attend the
State Convention to be held in the city OF pes
Moines, on Wednesday, the 18th of June, 1863.
s. - All citizens of CLAYTON
county. without distinction of party, who are
honestly in favor of sustaining the Government
in the use of all constitutional, necessary. and
humane war measures, are cordially
invited to unite in sending delegates to the
County Convention" 49,. .r-.;g
At the head of the same column the reader
will perceive that said "Convention" is distinct
ly called as Republican State Convention"
authorized by the Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. ".a
Could we indeed, have good "Union State
Convention" we should warmly urge the hold
ing Of county convention to send delegates,
but the dodge of inviting men "without distinc.
ton Of party' to send delegates to purely
partisan convention is too transparent gull to
throw out to the PEOPLE of Clayton county.

FALLING OUr--The Chicago Evening
journal of Saturday has the following relative
to its neishbor, the Tribune:
"The Chicago Tribune of this morning is
'down on" its big namesakc in New York, de-
nouncing it as "the most unfortunate or the
talsest of journals" The wild and foolish
course of the New York concern in reference
to Hooker and his army is the occasion Of
this onslaught on the p.rt Of our neghbor.
For once, we are glad to find the Chicago
Tribune on the right track that is, instead Of
denouncing the Administration and the Generals
in the field, as it has done, it now repes the
attacks of all the fires-in-the-rear.'
Here is an extract from the Tribune article
to which reference is made: Gall--Gh
1--WE know that the editor-in chief of that
journal, N. Y. Tribune, has no stomach for the

to stop the war to day. If ..t -eEU ri .
