"We put one question to those Demo
cra,s OF Iowa who sustained the npmina-
tion of Gen. Tuttle, and who have been
instrumental in depriving the Dem ocratic
party of it, regularly selected caudidate

didatef Not one Of you will say l. And
Why not 7 Simply because b. has carried
into effect the arbitrary and illegal orders
of the President. Now another oues-
ton: Whas difference il there betwesn
Gen. Burnside and Gen. Tuttle that the
Democracy of Iowa join their brethren oI
Ohio in denouncing the one, and then
not only extend the right hand of fellow
ship to the other, but embrace him With
open arms and make an effort to raise him
to the most exalted position 10 tho State.

Herald of the 9th of August, A. p. 1868.
And yet the Herald now has Gen. Tut,

Further Particulars of the
Blackwater Battle.

At one O'Clock Tuesday morning two Sec
tlOns ofCaptain Davis's Seventh Massachusetts
battery and the Eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry
were dispatched by Major General Peck, under
command of Colonel Spear, to attack the one-
my In his intrenchments on this side q the
Blackwater, opposite Franklin. We were to
make the attack at daylight. Small arms,
heavy guns and cavalry were used on both
sides.
The fight lasted for nearly an hour, and was
highly spirited In Its character. Two separate
cavalry charges were made on the Notifications.
These were found to be literally lined with in
fantry, who poured a deadly fire into our ranks,
made by Major Stratton. The major was
In the side of the hip. The latter, 1t Is thought,
fatally.
The second charge was conducted by Major
CoTnog in person, who took his men up 10 and
down In front of the fortihcations TO try and
jump the ditch, &C., but the move was soon
found to be impracticable.
The enemy opposed a heavy force of infantry
and cavalry 10 the right and left of our position
in order TO try and outhank US, but with little
show Of success. The fight had not terminated
at last accounts.
The enemy is strongly entronched hshlnd
well constructed breastworks.

Brevet vetApPOintmsnts not conhrmsd--The
~ Raanon. ~ .#

The large batch of brevet promotions sent by
the President TO the Senate, just prior to lis ad-
journment, is said to have been laid over in con-
sequence Of Senators having received numerous
letters from officers in the field, complaining
that injustice had been done them in the selec-
tlons which had been made, which they assert
were confined, 10 a great extent, 10 persons
who had been performing ordinary duty else
where than In the field, and that these favorites
had performed no extraordinary service by
which thoy were entitled 10 brevot.
The Senate not having time to give the sub
ject the careful investigation which II demand
cd, and which Senators were desirous Of giving
to il, they concluded To lay the whole matter
over. Let 1t be understood, therefore, that the
delay Of the Senate in the matter is occasloned
by no want Of respect towards merltorious Of.
ficers, but from desire, suggested by the off,
GERS themselves, TO brevet those who deserve
the honor instead of those who have not smelt
powder during the war. Thollst was made up
at the war office, and not by the President.

Savings Banks.

The first Savings Bank was founded at Ham
burgh, in Germany, in 1888, though the gene
raj suppoSition is, that the Hrst one was found
cd at Borne in Switzerland, 1889. In 1898, the
first institution was started in Great Britain,
under the name of "Frlendly Society for the
benefit Of women and children" In the United
States the first savings banks were as carly as
1916, organized in Salem, Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, an unsuccessful effort being
made TO found one in New York. One was es-
tablished in the latter city in 1919. The saw
ing institutions in the city and State of New
York have now over eighty millions dollars.
