FROM GRANTS ARMY,

The situation of affairs at Vicksburg is
unchanged, or was at last accounts. Grant
has no fears of successful attack from John
ston, and is confident that the place can hold
out but short time longer. Undoubtedly
he could take the city any day at big sac
rifice Of human life, but he prefers tho more
slow but equally certain method Of reducing
the rebel stronghold by siege, thereby saving
the lives of thousands Of his brave men,
We annex few items from the telegraphic
reports:
Via Cairo, 23d.-The bombardment from
the land side continues with the same gener-
al features. Our lines remain as before The
enemy is firing very rarely.
A copy Of the Vicksburg Wing, extra,
printed on wall paper, was received at head
quarters yesterday. 1t pretends to give ex-
citing Northern news, putting Grants loss in
tie siege at 10000.
A rebel lieutenant was taken yesterday
who says it is Pemberton's purpose to die
rather than surrender.
Deserters confirm previous reports Of ex-
IRENE suffering and destitution.
The pickets were skirmishing at Haines'
Bluff yesterday and Monday. The rebels are
reported advancing on our defenses at that
point.
June 18th, p. M.-Correspondents from
the lines say all is unusually active in the
centre. The rebels are firing more continu.
ously.
No news from Johnston.
Hot work expected very soon.
Johnston's forces are moving towards va
zoo City. He will find Grant ready to re-
ceive him.
Maj. Gen. McClernand has been removed
from command of the 18th army corps by
Gen. Grant, and Gen. Ord assigned to that
command in his place.

The Fourth of July next is to be profaned
in the city Of Dubuque by grand copper
head meeting. Such blatant tories as Rich
ardson aud Merrick, of Illinois. Voorhees,,
of Indiana, and Byington of this State, are
advertised as speakers on the occasion.

Our blockading fleet has been doing good
business of late. The most important cap.
turs was that Of the rebel iron.c clad steamer,
Fingal, which had long been blockaded in
Charleston harbor. At the time Of capture
she was attempting to escape to sea. Two
Of our gunboats attacked her, and after a
fight Of thirty minutes the Fingal surren-
dered. Several blockade runners have been
taken, and others destroyed, all with valua-
BILE cargoes. .

STATE TICKET.


ticket nominated at the late State Conven-
ton. Col. VIM. NJ. Stone, Of Marion, is the
candidate for Governor. On the breaking
out of the rebellion he was Judge Of the Cir
cult Court, which position he resigned to ac-
cept the Majorship Of the Third Iowa in
fantry. He followed this regiment through
its eventful campaigns in Missouri, and at
the battle Of Shiloh was taken prisoner
With others he was taken South and held a
prisoner for several months. He was subse.
quently paroled, and finally exchanged
Upon his return home he was appointed Col.
onel Of the 22nd regiment, the fortunes of
which he shared until the fatal 22nd of May,
when he was wounded in the assault at that
time made on the rebel Notifications at
Vicksburg.
Enoch w. Eastman, Of Eldora, Hardin
County, is the candidate for Lieut.. Cover
nor. He is lawyer, and an uncompromis
ing Union man. His almost unanimous
nomination on the first ballot is sufficient rec.
ommend for him.
For Judge Of the Supreme Court we have
John F. Dillon, Of Davenport. 1t is gener
ally conceded that there is no man in the
State better qualified for this position than
Judge Dillon. His name adds strength, dig
nifty and character to the ticket.
The above is the ticket the Union men Of
Iowa are called upon to support. and trium-
phantly elect at the coming fall election
Many Of US could probably have been suited
better in some respects, but the nominations
were made fairly and regularly in the largest
convention ever held in the State, and it is
the duty Of every good Union man to forego
his preferences and prejudices and work for
the election Of the ticket-.not labor for the
personal advancement of the candidates
themselves, but for the interest Of the noble
cause Of which the men are but the color
bearers. The men are nothing-the cause
everything. The nominees are Union men
their opponents will be disunion men. In
the election Of the one the State will keep its
fair record bright under continued Union
administration in the election of the other
the State would be ruined, insulted and dis
graced by set of copperhead officials. 1t is
for the people of Iowa to choose between the
two. We believe that all true Union men
will consider the question in this light-for-
getting everything Of personal and private
nature for the coed Of the glorious cause
which is paramount to all things else com.

ceased publishing resolutions adopted by

humbugs. A Colonel Of . Connecticut

American citizen, had the audacity to
vote against resolution approving the ne

ly dismissed. Had be been q private

TRUE TO TIE LErTER.-PennSylvania,
the glorious old Keystone Of the Union,
has redeemed herself BY repudiatiDg the
fanatic who lately represented heF 10 the
United States Senate, and placing in his
stead q statesman and patriot. Hon.
Charles R. Buckalew, her new Senator.
writes of the restoration of the Demo-
cratic party to power as follows No
other party has such splendid history,
and it will live in fadeless luStre long
after the mercenary wretches who now
villify it are forgotten:
"Then this party, with an old history
identified with the glories Of the country,
binding 1t to sympathy and affection in
every quarter. with no selfish, local or
ianatical passions to weaken or mislead
it;~with a generous, even.handed, impar.
tiai, time tried creed, conformed to the
Constitution, and springing naturally
from its principles-this party, thus quail
flied to speak to the whole land, and to
be heard with affection and reverence,
can and will command these wild waves
Of human passions to be still, and reject
ing alike the fanaticism Of Boston and of
Charleston, will rebind these great States
together in enduring bonds Of interest
and sympathy"

TREAsoNABLE OR0ANIzATIoN.-Al late
Washington letter alludes to the Western
Abolition rs. B." organization, which
has its auxillaries in California under the
name of "Union League" as follows:
"The story finds credence to some ex-
tent here that there exists in Illinois and
other Western States, \ secret associa.
tiOn, styled the Spartan Band, organized
for the purpose Of setting up military
despot;sm throughout the country. The
organization provides for the appointment
Of 4 colonel in each county, who is to
nominate, subject to the approval of the
principal chiefs of the district, captains,
who are to muster in and initiate priVates. "

A WAENING.--The black hearted Abo
lition traitors who own and control the
Sacramento Union and the still more vii
lainOus vagabonds who follow their ex-
ample, are endeavoring to inaugurate civil
war in this State. They could then riot
in robbery and assassination to their
hearts content. Snch besotted insurrec.
tictsts forget the teachings Of history.
A distinguished French historian moral
izing over the fall ofone Of these wretches,
says: 1.-The people punish their idols
for the crime Of having seduced them"
No truer sentiment ever fell from the lips
Of man, and it would be well for the Union
and its imitators to remember and ponder
upon it.

"UNIoN LEAGUES. We deem it our
duty to our party and country to warn
Democrats against any afiliation with
bodies Of men, styling themselves Union
Leagues" These Leagues are nothing
more than Abolition Societies under q
new name,-tbe old one having become
obnoxious to the people. Who are at the
bead of them? Lending Abolitionists-
the approvers Of the negro emancipation
policy of the President. The Boston
Liberator, New York Tribune and Post,
every Abolition organ, Wendell Phillips,
Carl Schurtz and Fred. Douglass, recon-
mend these societies. Is not that fact
enough to put Democrats on their guard !?
Can anything pure or national or law
abiding, come from such an impure
source? Democrats, show them your
UniOnism is too pure, broad and healthy
to live in the same atmosphere with men
who justify mob violence and declare they
prefer their sectional platform "tO fifty
Unions!" The leading spirit Of the par
ty in this county, the brain Of the party,
Sam Ensminger, stated in bis speech,
last Saturday night, that men who joined
these Leagues must never mention the
Federal Constitution again-that instru.
ment " having been played cut" Dem
ocrats are invited to affiliate with such
men, and for what purpose : To destroy
the Democratic party, override the Con-
stitution, violate the laws, elevate the ne
groes and rob white men Of their liber-
ties. A Democrat who joins such League
is = traitor to his principles and country.

An ABsURDIrY.-The arbitrary and un.
constitutional acts of the Administration
Abolition traitors justify under the sense
less plea of estate necessity" If State
necessity called for the destruction of the
Constitution they would destroy it-thus
making the creature greater than the cre-
atOr. Somebody forcibly asks, did it
never strike the friends of the Admins
tration how inconsistent it was to sup
port the Constitution by unconstitutional
means 2-how absurd the idea Of its be-
ing necessary to destroy the Constitution
in order to preserve it?
