How the Pr0Clalmatl works
I'm VIRGINIA.

The following is Il Washington Dis.
patch 10 the N. Y. Tribune, and shows
most conclusivcly how the proclamation
works i'll Virginia.
Gen Cusssret has written to Sen
ator, under date OF Jan 7, at W,nches
ter, letter that will give that perfect
soldier stronger claim upon the ad
miration of his adopted countryman.
lie says:
1--WE have rcceived-Gen. Milroy
and myself-thc Presidents proclama-
ton Of freedom. In consequence, we
yesterday.bosted on all thewalls of Win
chester, and scatterd throughout the
country. From farm to farm, All order
from Gen. Millroy notifying all slaves
that they are free, beginning from thu
1st Of January, and have the right to
claim wages from their masters, or to
quit them, and that in this case the
troops will protect their rights precisely
as they will those Of all other citizens.
The northern neck OF Virginia, the
heart of aristorcratic and wealthy slave
~, is alive with avast hegira ofbondmen
and bondwomen, travelling under Pres
Lincoln's pass. The probation is de-
populating the whole region between
the Rappahannock and the Potomac.
In farm wagons, in coaches, on horse
back, afoot and in buggies with salua-
bic property, in every case, this second
movement from Egypt to the promised
land fills the highways and the woods
The freed slaves come straight to our
lines. On the other side raids daily
snatch valuable slaves and hurry them
southwark and westward to the noun
tain Businesses for security. 1t was to
that masters hid away their perlous
property in the mountains Of San Dom
lingo. In Baltimore, the proclamation
daily strikes the letters off the number
of slaves sent for safety to that city from
the Shenandoah Valley. They claim
!. their freedom. and-fur reasons thai
colonizationist understand mas
ters and mstresses make no resista,
to the claim.

ment upon the Mississippi River, Gen.
McClernand with part Of tho late
force Of Gen. Sherman, has passed up
White River 10 strike off thence to the
Arkansas River with tho intention Of
engaging some point held by the Con-
fcdcrates.
According to the news just received,
Gen. McClernand's passage was undis-
puted, until Monday, when near Ar
kansas Post, where distractions pre-
sented themselves in the shape Of sub
stantial works, and masked batteries.
An engagement cnsued, which was
participated in by our gunboats on the
Arkansas.
Under cover Of their guns, Gen.
Netherlands men were landed, and
came up boldly to the works, stormed
the batteries and entertainments, and
after hard fighting drove the Con-
federatss from their guns, clambered
ever the rifle pits, and occupied the
place, capturing those who could not
make their escape.
The prisoners taken are 700 in mum.
Der. The rebel loss is unknown, but
must have been large.
The Federal loss we place at 200.
1t is good enough to be trne. fit is
the next arrival Of boat from Mem
phis, now awaited with impotence,
must bring official intelligence from
Met lerrand.
Cairo, Jan. 16.-The ram Switzerland
arrived this evening from the squadron.
She brings the news Of the taking Of
Arkansas Post, Arkansas river, about
100 miles above its month, BY the gum
boats and land force under Gen. Nc.
Clcrnand.
| We have not the precise date Of
events, hut It must have been on Sun
day or Monday.
The report is that we have taken
1000 prisoners.
The rebels lost 500 in killed and
wounded. the Federal loss being about
200. These results may be greatly
modified by fuller and more authentic
accounts.

Taxing Banks.

We have for some time been con
vert to the faith that if the United
States would place such tax upon all
banking institutions as to oblige them
to close up their business, and issue
Green Backs sufficient for the use OF
the country, we would be far better
off
The brokers' business, Of decrying
this, that and the other bank, and plac.
ing an inflated value upon currency,
for the purpose Of making capital out
of TIE same by running the banks would
then be gone.
Read the following article partly
touching this point from the Chicago
Tribune.
ESTIMATING the present issues Of the
banks at $2O0,O0o,O 900 and the profits
on circulation at six per cent, and we
find that the bankers profits on their
debts amount to sl2 100000 per annum.
This profit constitutes their reasons
against disseminating the system. They
are strong ones, it must be confessed
But look at the "reasons" pecuniary
that may be adduced on the other side
In consequence Of an excessive issue Of
paper currency by the banks and the
government, gold has advanced to las
per cent. In other words, paper
dollar, whether issued by the banks OF
government, is at this moment worth
but ff!yeight cents in coin or property
The present currency of the country
exceeds s40O, 600, 900, and on which the
people have suffered loss ofthirty-two
cents on each dollar, or S12s, 900, 900 in
the aggregate, and every further fall o.
one per cent. is dead loss Of 81, OOo,-
600 more. In order, therefore, that !,
class Of persons with especial privileges
may draw from the people $12 100000
of interest on their due bills, called
bank notes, the public is obliged to
suffer the tremendous loss of 1928. O0O,-
900 on the circulating medium. fthe
$2o0,O00,OOo Of bank notes were re-
tired within the next thirty days, and
no more greenbacks were emitted, gold
would 20 down almost, if not entirely,
to par. In other words, the legal tender
notes would rise in valus until they APP
preached the gold standard. It is true
the special privilege gentlemen would
lose some Of their gains, but the people
would recover Sl2s,OoO,ooO Of their
money. Why does Congress hesitate
to impose tax on bank issues? Which
do they represent, the shinplaster shops
or the people ?"

State shall be formed or erected within
the jurisdiction of any other State, or be
formed by the junction of two or more

Tho Muscati,e Courier.

The Muscatine Courier has been
established little more than six
months, 1t is a Democratic paper,
stepped in Mahony dye, and reflects his
sentiments and doctrines without fear
or hesitation. 1t is mixing great efforts
to become an engine Of the Democracy

prietor is Mr. Ell. Fl. Thayer, the

paper and see if you wish to become a
subscriber. IF you do you had better
look about you and see if you are
not pretty near rebel.
s4The Federal Government, for the
past fifteen months, has been rapidly
tending to a military despotism. The
snbversion Of the Constitution by arbi-
tary power has taken from the people
the great bulwark of their liberties.
Military arrests--thc illegal and unwarr-
antable incarceration Of American citi-
zens in Government Bastiles-invcsti-
cations and examination refused-trial
by jury denied-ihe rending Of the
military power superior to and indie
pendent Of the civil power all combine
to make up a chapter of tyranny and
abuse, which, under despotic form Of
government, would, in the eyes of the
world, have been sufficient cause for
revolution
"Govcrnor Seymour has delivered
his Inaugural. It's craftsmanship is in
every respect superior to either Of Lin
coins messages. This Of course was
expected. The moral power which the
Inaugural carries with it, will more than
balance the evil effects of Limo oln's pow
erless proclamations."
"The people cannot help seeing in
the repeated unconstitutional acts Of
the President, design on his part to
gradually draw the reins Of the despot
closer and closer, until, in his opinion,
the moment arrives for crushing out the
remaining liberties of the people"
Everybody now understands that
the war is being carried on for the alb
clifton Of slavery and can it be possible
that the people favor its longer contin-
uatien for such purpose?
"The first step was recently taken in
the unconstitutional division of the
State Of Virginia, for the express pur-
pose, as declared by Mr.. Lincoln, Of
making as much free territory with as
title trouble as possible. The next step

4 DISGRACE TO Iowa We learn
that at Iuka, 4 small town in kenknk
county, near Si@ournev, there is Il full
company of men, eighty four in number
who have boen dny organized. and
sworn into the service, but who utterly
refuse to proct ed to rendezvous, giving
as reason, that they did not care
about going to war. Col. O'B,ien, Of
the Al regiment, procecced 20 luka, a
few days since, with an order from
Gov. lakewood to attach the compa-
ny to his regiment On his arrival, in
company with Sheriff Adams, an init
ma.ieo of the nature other business
having preceded them, the company
turned out and salntcd them with
groans and Kisses. The Colonel in
formed the mu.ineers that they would
be forced to so, when they threatened
TO shoot the first blue coat THAT
dared attempt to force them. In the
evening the company marched to the
hotel at which Col. O'Brien was lodg-
ing and treated him to "charivari'' at
the close Of which three CHEERS were
given for Jeff Davis.
Such a state OF affairs in the loyal
State Of Iowa is burning disgrace to
her fair name. These men have no
doubt been misled by the dastardly
tory sympathizers in the North, of
which class OF people there are large
number IN this region. The Governor
should obligc these men to go, to &C
complish it requires all the available
resources Of the State. Blot out this
foul stain on the honor Of our fair name,
by all means. lHuscatine Journal

From the IcOrid Transcript, l4th
A gentleman informs us of most
heartrcnding occurrence, the result ola
frolic, which took place last week in
DeKalb Centre. It appears there was
a party in the village, which was
largely attended, and during the eve
ming a gentleman in the company by
the name of Atwood, thinking to have
a little fun, enveloped himself in a sheet,
with coat wound around his head:
and proceeding to the front OF the
house, knocked at the door. The door
was opened by Mrs. Root, wife Of
Mr.. jerome Root township collector
who, upon gazing at the CHASTITY figure
before her, with scream, fell back
wards to the floor and was taken ap
dead. It was at the house of brother
of Mrs. Root where the tragical event
occurred, and it's unfortunate author is
merchant Of good standing and
highly respected.
