THE CApIrAL.--A correspondent Of the
Chicago Journal thus writes Of Des Noines
The city Of Des Moines is situated on both
sides of the river. The Capitol is on bluff
on the East side, about one mile from the
Post.ofiicc. The land along the river is fat,
but short distance back the bluffs ascend
to q considerable height, which are being
improved by fine dwellings and beautiful
grounds. The city is handsomely laid out,
and, for one SO young, has many coed and
substantial improvements, and the view from
the surrounding bluffs carries one away back
to the hills and valleys Of good old New Eng
land. Des Moines has many natural advan-
tages, among which are its coal beds. These
have not been worked to any considerable
extent, but SO far they have the appearance
of being among the best in the State.

Not strange, Of course ii is not but the
explanation offaredis very. On the contrary,
the very fact Of the intelligence Of the SOL
diers is explanation Of their vote. If the
preponderance Of their vote for the Union
candidates is because Of lack Of intimate
knowledge Of home affairs, what is to be Of
fered in explanation Of the home votc2 No,
such talk is all bosh. The soldiers cast their
votes intelligently, understanding perfectly
well that the issues evolved were not Of a
local or factional character, but altogether
National. That their vote was ninety-t two
of hundred for the Union party is explained
only by the admirable lessons they have
learned in National politics in that best OF
schools, tho United States Army.

OLD EAGLES AND THEIR NESTS The
Girard [ Pa. Union gives the following
interesting account OF a couple of old
eagles, their troubles and their constancy. 1t
says: Sixty years ago, when the township was
first settled. pair of eagles, the white headed
or bald species, had nest in tall tree on the
farm of Mr.. Kelley. They were not disturbed
and for twenty years they occupied the nest,
annually rearing and sending forth a brood Of
eagles, when violent storm overturned the
tree, and OF course destroyed their habitation.
They then rebuilt their airy house on lofty
and inaccessible sycamore, on the farm of Mr..
Richard Pettibone, adjoining Mr.. Kelley's, and
enjoyed perfect happiness for forty years long
err, raising to eaglehood two or three chicks
yearly. A few weeks ago, a high wind
wrenched of limb containing the nest, and
threw it on the ground with such energy that
it was torn to atoms, and very young aud very
bald eagle killed. The nest was very large,
being made of about ten bushels OF sticks aud
leaves. This aged and persevering couple are
now making third nest on another sycamore
near the one lately destroyed, How old these
birds are, is not known, but that they are the
same pair found there by the earliest settlers,
there is no doubt. They are so long famil-
lar with the presence of men, that they can be
approached within few feet; and their great
age, constancy and friendliness, have given
them the respect of the neighbors, who would
turn out en- fRGsse and mob the unlucky sport
who should attempt to shoot or despoil this
royal family.

FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC.
JEFF. DAVIS CALLS FOR 10000 MEN
Operations Of the Rebel.
New YORK, June %.

New YORK, June %.
The Baltimore American OF last evening,
says: "Our intelligence from the upper. Po-
mac this morning is most gratifying, but not
proper to publish.
Fuoitiyes from Hagerstown say the rebel
army is crossing at all the upper fords, push
ing forward into Pennsylvania without scarce
ly stopping to rest
The movement of our army has been quite
rapid and the announcement of its present
position would astonish the people, and col
iison NAV be looked for at any moment.
Frederick was fully occupied by our troops
this Saturday morning, as well as the sur
rounding country"
The Herald's Washington dispatch says,
one hundred of the scott cavalry, drove in
the rebel pickets at Fairfax Court House, and
then fell into an ambuscade and only eighteen
returned, the rest being either captured or
left on the ground.
A Washington dispatch says JEFF Davis has
called for 10000 men to take the place OF
those now invading the North.
BALTIMORE, June 81.
Information received about 5 o'clock this
afternoon from Glen Run states that the rebels
were then at Hanover Junction tearing up
the railroad track The operator there LETT as
they approached, and came down to Glen
Rock, from which point he communicated
these facts.
The following information relative to the
rebel movement may be considered reliable.
The last Of Longstreet's cosps passed through
Hagerstown yesterday morning, going toward
Pennsylvania. 1t was precededby A. p. Hills
corps. Gen. Lee also passed through Hagers-
town yesterday.
Refugees, who have reached the army of the
Potomac from Richmond, represent that there
was quite panic there, only asmall guard be-
ing left, and many of the citizens were leaving
and going to Staunton. This would seem to
indicate that the Richmond people are rather
uneasy at the almost total abandonment of
that city by the rebel forces.

,~rbe church 81 ENGLAND Is h,vin

sYrThe Church of England is having its
troubles, and, says the Boston Journal, is evil
IDENTIFY passing through crisis. A motion
has been made in Parliament to relieve the
English clergy from subscribing to the Thirty
nine Articles and the Prayer Book. The
mover Mr.. Buxton, said the restrictions, ofthe
church were telling upon the quality of the
clergy, who were in danger of being severed
from the intelligence of the country. By the
recent returns, he said. it appeared that in
the last twenty years the young men from Ok
ford and Cambridge who wished to take or
ders had fallen Off from PAP to120at Oxford, and
from go to It's at Cambridge. He had direct
evidence that this falling off was mainly due
to the attempt to increase the restrictions on
the clergy at time when the general tenden-
cy was toward greater independence among
religious men.

From Port Hudson.

NEW YORK, June 2S.
The Herald has advices from Port Hudson
to the 10Th. Gen. Banks on the 18th issued a
congratulatory order to the troops over their
steady advance upon the enemy's works, stat
ing that he is confident of an immediate and
triumphant issue of the conflict, and says we
are at all points upon the threshold of their
Qualifications. One more advance and they
are ours.
A letter of the Goth reports no material
change In the position of affairs. We are
steadily advancing. Our first parallel which
completely encloses the outer line of the rebel
breastworks, and our skirmishers are behind
rifle pits within 20 yards of the rebel entrench-
ment. There are nightly skirmishes without
definite results.
Battery No. I to be mounted with IL 32-poun-
ders has been erected commanding the entire
series of the enemy's river works. One heavy
shot from the enemy had pierced the heavy
plating of the Essex. The gun which effected
this has been dismounted by battery No. Z.
A rebel bearer Of dispatches had been cap
tured with, ii is said, dispatch from john
ston who promises to reinforce Port Hudson
and capture Banks entire army if the place
would hold out until the following Tuesday.
This may be ruse, however, TO induce Banks
to make an immediate assault, that he may be
repulsed and arrest the SLOW process OF star
walton which stares the rebels in the face. De-
serters report a consultation of rebel iofficers,
who unanimously requested Gen. Gardiner to
surrender.
He replied that large reinforcements would
arrive within a week, and ii they would only
hold out few days longer the siege would
result favorabiy to them. The disaflected
officers returned to their camps and told the
men il the General did not surrender in a
week they would compel him to.

have but forty head of cattle left to feed on.

in Port Hudson were accidentally killed in the

charge took effect in the thighs of Daniel Gould,
stevedore, and Alfred Babb. Mr.. Babb was
quite severely injured. Mr. Gould's thigh was
so badly shattered that amputation had to be
performed. The operation was skilfully done
by DIR. Tukesbury, but it was no avail. Mr.,
Gould died on Sunday morning. Sidney Is
locked up until the affair can be examined
