Issa FOR DRAINAGE COMMISSIONER,
9. II. CRITTENDEN.
NEWS BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.
The news from the Army of the Cumbcr-
Hand is that Rosecrans rests on the field of
battle, and that in an engagement last Mon
iday the rebels were handsomely repulsed. 1t
us also reported that rcinforcements had ar
rived from Grants army, and that Rosecrans
would speedily assume the offensive.
81 "A Washington dispatch of the 22d says
ithat Gen. Meade's army is undoubtedly NOV
Ting upon Gordonsvile, and it would surprise
inc one here to hear that-a battle was fought
ibctween him and Lee before Sunday
The siege Of Charleston is steadily pro-
sgrsssing, Though there is no news of partic
ularly exciting nature from that quarter.
The latest European intelligence states
n that the English Government will certainly
prevent the sailing Of the rebel rams, about
which there has been much said of late.
iELECrIoN--woRK FOR THE UNION.
I Two weeks from next Tuesday is election
oday. Our gallant Iowa boys in blue are
manfully putting down armed treason in the
uSouth, and we at home have no less duty
to perform. We are called upon to defeat
the wicked aims Of Northern traitors, who,
" though they may work in different way
than their Southern brethren, labor none the
less effectually for the success of the rebel
~ strength, and arrange our plans, that at the
seclosc of the fight Of the 18th of October,
victory will perch on the Union banner. A
ar'copperhead victory in this State at the CON-
e ing election would be hailed throughout the
~ Confederacy, as rebel victory, and in fact
lit would be nothing less than that Let US
bury the traitors beneath such an overwhelm-
ir Ing vote that they will never know polit
y ical resurrection. Benedict Arnold betrayed
his country for British Gold General futile
&c none the less betrayed his trust when he
struck hands with the avowed enemies of the
cause he was sworn to defend, and for the
paltry price Of a gubernatorial nomination
LOOK TO THE LEGIsLATIvE CAM
* DIDATES.
"a Work increasingly for the success of the
r Union candidates for the Legislature, for on
y this point the copperheads are making their
ot great fight. Do not be deceived by any spe-
q cious pleas Of Unionism on the part of the
~ candidates of the opposition. II they were
" unqualifedly for the support of the Admin
-r istration in the prosecution of the war for
b the restoration Of the Union they would not
Il be found working hand in hand with South
az ern sympathizers. We tell you there is not
pa copperhead candidate for the Senate in the
81 whole State of Iowa, but that would, if elect
to ed, vote for such man as Byington for u S.
Senator in preference to man entertaining
se opinions identical with those Of our present
g. senator's. In their Legislative nominations
y the copperheads have played shrewd game
IL They have taken the least Objectionable men
L in their ranks TO be found in the District,
N and thus hope to deceive the people. But
b, We warn the people not to be deceived. These
3, men will as surely do the bidding Of Mahony,
n Byington, Dodge, Dean, ct al. as the sun will
% rise tomorrow. The man who supports the
Is copperhead ticket, whether State, County,
81 District or Township, is working hand in
h, hand with the enemies Of his country. Give
Of your support to the only party pledged to
the Union cause. Vote as the soldiers in the
= field would have you vote,-a vote that will
endorse the justice of the work in which they
b are engaged, and which will hasten the day
q that will return them to their homes. Never
d give them fire in the rear, but while they
d put down traitors South, let us put down
c traitors North.
