Lieut.. Col. Hughes, of the 38th Iowa,
died at Port Hudson on the 9TH of August.
He was, we believe, from Winneshiek county.

Ne,os has been enlarged to seven column

on the wrong side, politically.
FIRE AT OsKALoosA.-We learn by an ex-
ira from the Oskaloosa Herald office that a
fire occurred in that Place on Sunday morn
ing last, destroying seven small frame build
ings on the northeast corner of the square,
involving loss of $4,000. The fire or;gi-
mated in the building formerly occupied by
the hardware store of F. s. Palmer, and is
supposed to have been the work of an incen-
diary.
The INDIANS AT CAMP McCLEL1AN.-A
correspondent of the Peoria Nail, who has
visited Camp Mcclellan, Davenport. thus
speaks of the Minnesota Indians now con-
fined there:
"They are hard looking set generally, dis
gustingly filthy in their habits, and having
few redeeming traits Of character among them.
They will lie down with a blanket thrown
over them, in the hottest sun, and sleep and
seem to enjoy it. There are two or three
shanties within the inclosure, where they sleep
if they choose; but their accommodate ons,
Judging from the description given, are not
calculated to make them in love with civilized
life. The crowd contains men, women and
children"
All the Iowa soldiers sick at Cairo,
Mound City and Paducah are to be removed
t. Keokuk at once, by j. G. Todd, State
Agent. ......-
Several liquor dealers have been fined at
Mount Pleasant for violations of the Pro-
hibitory Liquor law. Fines ranging from
$40 to to $50 were assessed and paid.

~ The Buffalo Express pronounces the
CONSUMPTION law failure, at least in that To-
cality. In the Buffalo district where the draft
was for three Thousand eight hundred and eight
the promise is that the Government will not
realize much more than thirty per cent. of
that number. The Express assigns as rea-
son for the failure Of the law that there are
some material defects in it-"then it comes
in collision with the sympathies Of consan-
guinity; the fear of danger that besets por-
ton of the human family; the blunders of
enrolling officers the cunning devices of the
drafted and the amiable qualities of examin-
ing Boards, all of which tend to reduce the
product of it's provisions. To this we may
add an implacable partisan hostility to it
which has been arrayed against its operations
at all points, and which purposes, ifpossible,
to disarm it of all power to help the Govern
nent through with the war. A hundred
pencils are busy ciphering it into uselessness
under the senseless questions of former quo
tas, as if that in fact had nything to do with
the necessities aud demands of the Govern
1nent in the present hour of it's trouble

&W The "last ditch" theory has he

W The "last ditch theory has been
abandoned by the rebels. They recognize
subjugation as possible, but insist that they
can still h Id out for time by turning guer-
rillas and bushwhsckers. Thus a writer in
the Mobile Nstos says that if driven from the
open field they can fire from behind "friend-
ly trees" If the rebels, driven from the
field of civilized warfare, resort to a system
of numbering from behind "friend'y trees"
they may perhaps get more strongly and per,
manen,ly attached to their " friendly trees >
ttan they just now expect. We guess the
rebels had better 60 back to their ''last ditch"
and let the friendly trees" alone if the trees
will let them alone.-Louisriile Journal.

Can President Lincoln Rein.
slave Freedmen:

The Washington Chronicle is permitted to
make the following extracts from a letter q
the Hon. Robert J. Walker (now in England)
to a friend in that city. We are glad to know
that there is not the slightest reason to be
lieve that President Lincoln has any thought
of recalling the Emancipation Proclamation,
or that he will be party to the reenslave-
ment of the freedmen made free by the Proc
lamation:
"Since the victory at Gettysburg, and the
fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, sugges-
tons appear that President Lincola should
recall the Emancipation Proclamation. This
would ruin the cause here. The Proclama-
ton was legal, and as such it did emancip.te
the slaves, and they are aoV free. How can
Mr. Lincoln re-enslave them? The past is
irrevocabie even by the Almighty power. Be
sides it would be breach of faith to the
slaves; and in view of their heroic conduct
in battle, equally unwise and unjust"
Apropos to this subject, the Rochester On.
" Express claims to have private inforna-
ton that one Of the judges of the United
States Supreme Court, supposed to be Justice
Nelson, has written an opinion on the legal
condition of the revolted States on the con-
clusion Of the war for the suppression Of re-
belion, and this opinion is concurred in by
the whole bench, including Chief Justice
fancy. The opinion is, said to maintain that
the States in rebellion have lost their rights
as States, and must come into the Union sim
ply as territories subject to the General Gov
eminent and entitled to its protection. New
State organizations may be formed By the
people, under tie Constitution and laws of
Congress, as in the case of other territories,
but the old States cannot come into the Union
with their present organization and officers
still reeking with the horrible crime they have
committed against the national life.
This opinion is supported by justice and
common sense.
