The News.

We had hoped to be able In this issue to
give the details of the great fight below Nash
vile, between the armies Of Gems. Rosccrans
and Brag, but our last account from the scene
ofconaict leaves the armies still engaged in
one OF the most fierce struggles of the War.
Up to Friday aight, four days of hard fighting
had taken place, and yet no de- isive adj
vantage on either side. From the character
of the troops engaged, and the known ability
of our Commanding General, we have full
confidence that an important Federal victory
will end the struggle in Il at quarter, Our
loss thus far, is placed at near 1000 killed
aud wounded. Among the killed we regret to
see the name of the brave Lieut.. Col. DAVID
MCKEE, of Grant County.
From Vicksburg, the news is also little
icggy, though the reports are that the place
is probably in our possession.
The Federal troops have gained several adj
vantages in Kenllckv within the last two
weeks
On the Potomac things appear to remain
in statu quo
The Iron clad steamer Moaitoy, we regret to
saw is lost She foundered at sea near Hill
ton Head, and all her officers and crew-some
thirty in number, persisted.
Latest
After part of our edition. was worked
off; we secured the Chicago Tribune. con-
tanning brief account of a complete
Federal success, at Murfeesbroo, Tenn
The battle lasted from the Goth of December
until the 4th Of January, at which date Gen
Rosecrans taiegraphed to the War Depart
ment that the enemy are in full retreat and
that pursuit was about to be commenced
He reports our loss in killed at 900, and
wounded at between 5000 and 1000.
The victory over ToNERr, the rebel COM
mander, at Cross Roads, Tenn, was more
complete than at first reported. Rebel loss
over 900, Federal loss, 100.
Vicksburg is reported in posses ion of
our forces, which opens the Mississippi.

We present our paper this week on q
much smaller sheet than our usual size, which
We shall be obliged to continue until the pl ice
of paper is somewhat -,.,.rcn We have heen
forced to adopt this course not only on ac-
count of the exorbtant price charged for pa
per, but because we were unable to get paper
Of our old size, at any price. When informed
at the Mill where we had got paper f1r the
past five years, that they could furnish Us no
more paper on any terms, except for paper
rags, We at once applied TO paper dealer in
Galena, who could not furnish US a sheet of
our old size, and but little of our present.
We then went to Chicago, where met with
Ike success Not being able to get our old
size, we secured small stock Of the size We
now use, by paving double the usual price,
We shall continue our present siz; until the
price comes down, which we hope will soon
be the case, when we shall renew our former
dimensions. We hope our readers will be sat
i.fed with this explanation.
We hope those in arrears will pay up, that
we may have the means to buy paper when it
can be had for money.

The Proclamation.

In fulilment of the Proclamation of warn
ing, issued on the 22d of September, on the
lst day of January, 1863, President Lincoln
issued another Proclamation, declaring free
dom to the slaves of rebels iii all States and
parts of States in rebellion on that day. We
hold this Proclamation as the most important
document ever issued by an American States
man. Unless we are greatly deceived, it is
the most powerful blow yet ssra, the root
of the rebellion. 1t at the sans time removes
the Cause of the rebellion, ID the cGief pill
lar gifts support. Without further comment,
at this time we call the attention ofoar read
ers to the Document itself, which will be found
in another column.

employed for transferring the title and
which became the evidence of title.
There being no condition, use, Limitation
or restriction, expressed, either in the acts
of Congress, Gas to this square of ground
nr in the patent, it follows that the title
both legal and equitable, passed from the
United States to the County of Iowa
through Hoard, Derring and Lindsay.
The County Of Iowa In its corporate ca
pacity can appropriate, or make such dis
position of the property, by lease, sale, or
otherwise as it sees fit; and to the same
extent that an individual CAM of his es-
tate.
The County having the title to this prop
erty: it follows that Hoard, Lindsay and
Derring and their heirs have not, and new
or have had. This however, only follows,
in case my construction of the Territorial
Statutes of 1889, is correct
If that construction is erroneous, then
Hoard, Derring and Lindsay, held the
dry legal title to the premises; and their
heirs could acquire nothing more, by de-
scent, or bequest But, this legal title
was, or is held in trust for the County,
and in subordindtioa to the equitable title
of the County The County by suit can
compel them, by proper instrument OF
conveyance, to convey this legal title
My opinion therefore, is that Iowa Co.,
has the legal title to this Court house So,
untrammelled with conditions, limitations
or specified uses.
If however, the opinion is not well foun-
ded in law; then, beyond a doubt, the
County has the equitable title and the le-
gal title is held by Hoard, Derring Lind
gay, or their heirs, in subordination to this
equitable title, and subject to be conveyed
to, when desired by the county.
| am not unmindful Of the fact that Hon
NJ. NJ. Strong has given an opinion the re-
verse of the view which | have taken OF
the question. l have carefully consider
ed that opinion and have arrived at the
con fusion that his premises are assumed
instead of being facts; and that therefore
his reasoning, however marked by ability
must fail His premises are:
lst, That this public square was grant
ed for public use I'd. That this square
was, by the act of Congress reserved from
sale for public use.
| can find no such thing in the act OF
Congress; but the very reverse, as have
tried to show.
