A HINT TO ALL CONCERNED Until within
a few DAYS past we have thought there would
be no enforcing the CONSUMPTION act in this
State, at least during the present summer
but we have in our possession information
from source of the highest responsibility
Ia gentleman well known in this vicinity,
who for some time past has occupied prom.
inent position :" near the throne"-that Iowa
will in few weeks be called upon to furn.
ish body Of men greater in numbers than
under any previous call, and no time will be
given her for enlisting them. Under such
circumstances. it would become our duty as
public journalists to hint to our able-bodied
citizens that it would be emnently proper
for them to set their homes in order, and
prepare to leave at a moments notice. The
draft will scoop nearly every man fit for mil
itary duty in the State. The drawing will
not take place until after the wheat crop is
safely secured, as the Government does not
wish to injure the resources of the country
to which it is obliged to look for means 10
carry on the war: Iowa has done nobly in
this fight, and she is expected to do still more.
She can and is willing to do SO. Don't de-
lay preparing for the CONSUMPTION. Itscom.

The Folly OF MoBs-The history of the
recent terrible mob in New York affords us
another instance of the utter failure of mobs
to accomplish their objects. g "a Es'
- The rioters destroyed the enrolment lists
in several of the wards, thinking, doubtless,
that new enrolment would have to be
completed before another attempt to enforce
the draft. ., ,-"ts-
The fact is that in; New York, as else.
where, three copies Of enrollment list were
made out, one Of which was sent to Wash
ington, another to the Provost Marshal Gen
eral of the State, while. the remaining copy
was kept for the use of the officers actually
engagedin thcdraft. Thus the destruction
of one set Of these rolls could make but
very short delay in the draft, and the rioters
utterly failed of the object of their lawless
violence This,is matter which it is of con-
siderable Importance that it be generally un
derstood. '',1.' ~ ~

Commenting upon the copperhead canard
set atloat during the great riot in New York,
that the President had ordered the suspen.
sion Of the draft, tho N. Y. Tribune says:
sa With the sincerest delight we learn that the
President said last evening, in reply to in
quiries, that his purpose was to ENFORCE
THE DRAFT UNDER ALL CIRCUM.
STANCES. The honor of the Nation and
the dignity of the Government would alike
have been sacrificed by any other determi
nation, and though we have steadily refused
to credit the assertion of the disloyal papers
and Of Gov. Seymour, of whom they are the
organs, we now heartily thank the President
for the prompt announcement Of his resolu-
ton. Traitors at the North will begin to
comprehend that this Government means to
crush Treason wherever il dares lift its head
and they will soon be made to believe If they
do not already know, that the People viii
stand by the Government spite of the efforts
of Copperhead presses, of murderous mobs,
and of Governors who openly proclaim their
friendship and affiliaton with the scoundrels
composing them, and who seek to conciate
favor with insurgents by protesting to have
extorted from the President cowardly con.

itor of the Io,ca State Register: .Hs'. &
? Men Of Iowa! You have thus far known
very little of therigors of War! Your broth.
ers and your sons have gone from among
you in defence of the Government, and MANY
of them have fallen by the way A vacant
char at the family board, or the vision of a
green mound on far off Southern soil, re-
minds you of great personal sorrow. Your
business may have been temporarily derang-
ed or you may have felt somewhat heavily
the new burden Of Federal taxation. But no
hostile armies have penetrated your borders.
You plant, and sow, and reap, and prosecute
the entire round Of industrial pursuits. Your
products bring fair remuneration, money
is abundant, works of public improvement
are stretching nearer and nearer toward your
doors. the treasury of yonr State,is over.
flowing with its revenues, and every private
and public interest bears the evidence of a
more general and a more healthy prosperity
than has been known before even in periods
of peace. The only peril which. menaces lis
is that which threatens the remainder of the
nation! But until it shall be removed and
permanently removed, all other earthly in
terests will be as nothing! The last great
fabric OF free government is on trial With
the exception of few free municipalities and
impotent considerations, locked in among
the crags and gorges of rnountairii ranges,
Republican Liberty has been swept from the
face of Europe. If is to be also driven from
the Western Continent. the reign of Despotic
Power may not be broken for ages! With
such interests involved, there is no personal
immunity nor possession which the Govern
mant may not rightfully demand at our
hands A voice from the graves of our Rev.
dictionary sires floats in every breeze, charg-
ing us to guard the liberties which they pur.
chased with their lives |! aa sis 20 -ad.
The example Of the brave martyrs who
have already fallen during the. war, stands
before us as perpetual admonition to defend
the cause for which they fell! The mute el-
oquence which goes forth from the anxious
faces and the saddened hearts of every Free
mans home, points US to the path Of duty
and of gloryl The incalculable interests Of
the great future beckon us on to the perform
ancei of every labor and of every sacrifice
which shall aid in perpetuating the political
inheritance committed to our trust! And
from Gods Throne descends the lesson that
if we would enjoy the blessings of Christi
anity, we must pre- ect the interests of Lib
ertyl With these rcsponsi,.il ties discharged
our cause will tr:un ), and the proud ensign
Of the American Union will float over a re.
united and an indivisible nationality!
