NEWS nv LAST NIGHTS MAIL.


The latest dates from Hooker's army are
Of the morning Of the 9th. It appears that
there has been desperate fighting with Va.
rying results. The Chicago Journal thus
sums up tn situation at the latest dates re-
cieved: $. # ST.
The only feature of the advices that seems
positive, is the fact that an overwhelming
force of the rebels made an attack upon our
left wing, and compelled the comparatively
small force in the immediate vicinity Of
Fredericksburg to abandon their position,
thus giving the rebels possession of the
town. 1t is intimated that Hooker did not,
for stragetic reasons, wish to prevent this.
There is little or no additional news from
the right wing in the neighborhood Of Chan
cellorville, which is the principal point of
conflict and Of interest. 1t is reported that
Hooker holds his own, and that Heintzleman
is on his way from Washington with reinforce
ments. .-
The rebels are reported to have been re-
inforced. 1t is stated that we have captured
from six to fifteen thousand prisoners, and
that our loss is six thousand. 1t was expect
ed that the great and decisive battle would
be fought on Tuesday. ...t..-.-
All things considered, the news is not
quite as satisfactory as it was yesterday,
and yet there is nothing really discouraging
in it. The advices that we have to-day re-.
ceivcd have no other effect than to heighten
public solicitude and anxiety as to the final
issue of the pending operations.
-Vallandigham was arrested at his resi-
dence in Dayton, Ohio, on the 9th inst, by
the military authorities. A mob attempted
his rescue but failed. As soon as the mill
rary escort left with Mr.. v. the mob COM
menced an attack upon tho Journal Office,
which they completely Quilted. The building
was fred, and the flames spread to adjacent
property and destructive conaagration was
the result. 1t was also reported that the mob
had torn up the railroad tracks, and torn
down the telegraph wires leading to the
place. Gen. Burnside has ordered q military
force to the scene OF riot ,..l .,. ...4. ..

Turn Over "The Political Slase.''
The bold caption (Thc Political Slate) of
an article in the Charles City Republican
Intelligenesr, Of April 3Otb, attracts my at
tention, making up, as it seeks to do, . skel-
eton ticket, showing its preference for at
least two names as candidates, -following up
the ushering in Of a very worthy man for the
Judgeship by the announcement of we'll
known and leading politician for the Govern
orship, and then conceding the Lieutenancy
to Union Democrat. Generous! boundless
magnanimityi Why bring forth candidate
thus! Truly, it is "Political Slate" that
certainly needs portion, at least, to be rub
bed out.
Speak not of Democrat; listen not to Re-
publican. The thunder of the one is no
longer heard; the vivid flash OF the other is
not now to be seen. A storm is upon US; to
and FRO may be seen our tried bark proudly
riding upon the pillows, and as she majestic.
ally breasts the waves as they dash mountain
high, we watch with alteration, reminded, as
we are, Of the heaving Of this great Nation
breathing forth the sentiment of it's people.
uttering I" The Union and nothing but the
Union." Seeking TO discard all by-gones,
personal prejudices, party fealty. party titles,
and all other incubuses that may clog the
pulsations of loyal hearts, for the sake of the
glorious cause our brave soldiers are now
battling for, let US at home throw aside that
which leadeth to discussions. Do not then
remain silent, but oppose all political wire-
working, no matter from whom it emanates.
Place timidity in our midst as you would
cowardice upon the field. and oil will be well.
Already several suitable names have been
and are now being, discussed in this region,
and among those most prominent for Gov
ernor are Lewis A. Thomas, of Dubuque;
Judge Tabor, Of Buchanan; Oran Faville, of
Mitchell; Z. Sells and Fitz Henry Warren.
For the Judgeship, with Williams, Dillon and
Woodwork, and like good material, we will
not lack good officials. I should not now
give preference to Judge Dillon (of Daven-
port) for Supreme Judge, did think he
would BE-, CT permit himetlf to be, leagued
with any political faction. He could not but
spurn any proposition of the kind, or else
compromise the high position he has 20 justly
attained. His adjudication Of the Homestead
bill has added much to his popularity tho
appreciation Of which thousands would man.

We agree with our correspondent that old
party issues are dead, and that being the case
that party prejudices and invidious political
distinctions should be ignored At the present
SINE. Our greatest objection to the lntelli.

is that it ignores the just claim Of the north.

isfied with any bone that may be cast u.s.
No one disputes but that w have . just
claim to the gubernatorial candidate, and II
We but present . united front and insist that
our right be respected, no doubt but that our
demand will be accedsd to. But on the
other hand, If we arc perfectly willing to
give up our rightfuf due, and accept the tail
end Of the ticket, what else can We expect
than that we shall always remain unrepre-
scented in any position calculated to work to
our advantages Do we always expect to
occupy our present uninAuential political
statuss We certainly have good timber for
the governorship, and if we can work it in
less do so. We think the press Of the north
ern portion Of the State should speak out on
this subject. They can do this without in
sisting upon tho nomination Of any particu-
lar man, -only insisting that the best and
most available man from our portion Of the
State shall receive the nomination. II the
southern portion of the State is disposed to
act honorably they will acquiesce in this.
But whether the nominee shall be from
the northern or southern portion of the State
he must, and we believe will be cheerfully
and earnestly supported. Yet until the nom.
ination is made it is clearly our duty to in.
sist that the nominee be from our part of the
State.

A SOLDIERS OPINION OF CoPPERHEADs.-

excellent description Of the politicians refer.

You asked me what thought of the cop.

ments alone, but Of the army at large.
We consider the copperhead as traitor, q
liar, a robber, and a coward.
A traitor, we call him, because he is exert
ing every effort to destroy the lawful and
legitimate Government of his country.
We call him liar, because he is classifying
the motives Of the Government, the army,
and every true patriot.

march, bloody battles, and months of toll
laurels won at the price Of blood in the noble
cause Of liberty and their country?
We justly brand them as dastnrds and
couards, because, in the hour of their coun.
try's need, they feared to 60 forth to battle
for the right.
They choose to stay at home to sec their
country ruined, rather than expose them
selves to danger; and now, like a beast al

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN Iron CLAD Amor
The first practical lesson taught by the fight
Of Charleston is to be applied to the lron-clad
Roanoke. Although her turrets are already
covered with solid plates Of iron about eleven
inches thick, she is to have a new armor over
them; and preparations have been made at
the Brooklyn navy.yard to commence the
work Of putting it on. The new idea is this !:
3.inch iron plates are to cover some wooden
or softer substance, which is to 60 between
the huge plates on the turret and tho outside
surface. II Is said that cotton, or rope yarns,
or something Of . similar character, will be
used for the flling-in, thus rendering it al
most impessible for psvjectiles to penetrate
through the turrets themselves. Balls fire.
quently bent, and in some instances split the
armor of the iron -clads under fire, and it is
now deemed best to protect even the most
formidable mail BY an outward guard such as
that described. In the case of the Roanoke,
there is = probability that the external pro-
lection will be susceptible Of being put on
and taken OF at pleasure. Officers have tn.
ken the dimensions Of the plates required,
and no time will be lost in preparing them.
1t is not yet known to what extent the new
theory will be adopted in the other vessels
now on the stocks.

all the Copperhcads in Ottumwa were sgog
to see the expected i" lion" A Committee
was appointed to receive the great defeated

Just at that moment some one pushed open
the car door and introduced the crowd to the
