And only few days now till the cleo
ton. Let our friends improve the time.
We have every encouragement to do so.
The reports from al portions of the State
indicate larger majority for Stone, for
Governor. than has ever been polled at
any State election in Iowa. The nomina-
ton OF Tuttle, while it saved the Copper
head party from annihilation, will not
save them from most overwhelming de-
feat. But while We shall gain on the
State ticket very largely, our prospects
on the county tickets give promise Of still
greater gains, for the reason that. as .
general rule, the party have nominated
unmitigated and notorious Butternuts for
the Legislature and county Offices.
In Wayne, Decatur, Appanoose, and
other southern counties, we are making
large gains, and even in Davis the Union
candidate for the Senate stands q fair
chance of beating Dunlavy while in Van
Buren, county-Tuttls's own dung-hill-
our majority will be larger than ever be-
fore.
And how is it in old Lee? 1t may be
in Lee just as our friends choose to make
it. United and thorough work du-
ring the remaining few days, work with
wiH, and by all, With their friends and
neighbors before and on election day,

cause.
Remember that the majority against
Lincoln in this county was mere trifle,
that the majority for the Union ticket two
years ago vas several hundred, and that
last year we scarcely made fight at all and
therefore the result was no test. Renem-

rebels, some time sgo;
Ga this evening of the 10th of March
last Captain Montgomery was taken 20
Coup Bell, a rebel camp on the Rio
GraRde, a short distance from the mouth
OF the river, whore he was kept next dAy,
during which time he was tantalized by
those who bad him in custody. lie was
told he was going TO be hanged, and was
asked IT he was not going 10 say his
prayers, in a tantalizing manner.
The next morning, about 10 O'Clock,
be was taken a short distance above the
camp TO retired place on the river. A
hair rope was tied about his neck, and
he was demanded TO tell what he knew
about the Federal forces He refused 10
disclose anything. He was suspended
TO the branch of a tree for a time, and
then let down, and again demanded TO
tell what he knew. lie still refused 10
disclose anything saying 10 them that
as they were going to hang him any way,
he should not make any disclosures.
This operation was repeated four or five
times, when he was anally hung up and
left by his murderers.
He remained in that condition fR days,
when he was taken down by friendly
old Mexican, and placeda few feet in the
ground. His murderers removed the
earth from him, saying he should be
left exposed.
The notorious Captain Bruin, South
ern traitor Of Northern birth, command
ed the hanging party For his bravery
and Southern chivalry in thus being able
to successfully hang a helpless and de-
fenoeless man, he was at once promoted,
and now rejoices in the title Of Major
Bruin.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati

Colonel LoOmis, whose name is now

is mentioned with pride every whore in

the Virginia oompaign, Captain Loomis.
He is now Chief Of Artillery upon Rous-

were just concluded, and the warlilIe
array attracted the congregations at

A Glowlna oompIlmnnt

The following is from the pen OF gall
liant and distinguished officer in the Army
of the Cumberland, who has always been
a stAunch Democrat. The extract en-.
bodies the substance OF mullitudes Of
letters which we have received within
the past two weeks from citizsns, officers
and soldiers. Would that we were
thousand-fold worthier Of the praises of
men who have gone with their lives IN
their hands to fight the rebels
have read the scurrilous proJuotions
ia the Louisville Journal assailing, or
rather, attempting TO disparage your
good name, The entire officers OF my
regiment concurred in the opinion that
not only the writer, but the journal per-
mitting such into its columns, is unwor-
thy Of notice, lie is, besides being
rebel and coward at heart thing that
has no character 10 lose or save. by the
enunciation of honest, earnest truths,
written and uttered at the very gates of
rebeldom, you have endeared yourself to
every honest patriot, and made your or
gan enviably notorious throughout the
length and breadth Of the Republic You
have not, like Mr.. Prentice, appealed to
the passions and prejudices of any class
or creed; unlike his patriotism, yours was
not marketable commodity. You could
not serve two masters; you could not
lay OFF and put on at will your princi-
plea as you dc your clothes.
The charge of the thing of the Journal
that but for "Federal bayonets" lending
you their protection you would have TO
cease the publication of the Union, is
high compliment TO your loyalty, and is
accepted as SUCH Were il not for these
same "Federal bayonets" Gov. johnson,
Psrson Brownlow, and hundreds of other
good and true men now within cur lines,
would be repining in rebel dungeons, or
be beyond the borders of Tennessee ard
Kentucky suffering the penalties of their
unswerVing love of the flag of our fathers.
We're IL not for these same "Federal bay
onets" Kentucky. as well as Tennessee,
would be overrun with the rebel horde
Of which this thing is the miserable apol-
ogist, and freedom and constitutional
liberty have found no resting place South
of Mason and Dixon's line
You have required no "hush money"
nor contracts to induce your support Of
our Government, and conscious of the
honesty and sincerity of your motives,
and the rectitude of your conduct, you
can well afford to set az naught the von-
omous snarlings of those pretending
'loyalists" who a'sail all who differ with
them, with that impunity which security
is ever sure to lend the blackguard and

A Warlrace correspondent Of the Mo-
Advertiser, writing on June 9TH, thus
let's loose on Tennesseans who wont take
confederate money.
We are short of clothes; short OF shoes;
short of what we want to eat. The pay
masters are out of funds and can't pay
us, and it we have bushel of conieder-
ate money we can not get the Linoolnites
around us TO take il. IL is a great an
noyance TO find things TO sell, and yet
can not buy them, although we have
money. An old mar here has quantities
ofhoney 10 sell, at two bits pound, but
will take nothing but Chattanooga
money" This is not an uncommon
case.
Altogether, ] am Disguised with the
war disgusted with everybody and
every thing, and am in favor of raising
the black tag immediately. iaata
Taking all things into considerAtisn,
we think Tennessee's confidence in,
and connections with the Southern Con-
foderaey are done iDr. HARRIs must
make another treaty; the frat one is
clearly worn out.

PROSPECTUS
or THE
NASHVILLE UNION.

The NAsHy1tLLE UNION was commenced last spring,
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Con
ederacy aud Of advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority without any abatement, all the statos
which have attempted to secede Its object WIS to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union an they
were oxpounded by tho fathers Of the Republic,
but which for more than one year--ths long aud
dreary carnival Of ireasOn-had been imspokon and
unwrtien In the Capital Of tho State Of ANDREW
JAcKsos, and treasured up only in the hoars of
the faithful. We believed that the right way to con
duct loyal Journal In city like Nashville, at such
a time ms this, was to raise the wavering d tmid
up to the true standard OF patriotism, and not 10
lower the standard Of patriotism after the manner OF
some other Journals to suit the depraved iasos Of the
semoyal and sympo othizers with the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The Us1oN, therefore, has held as frionds all who
support, and foes all who oppose the Union Of the
States. Its watchword is FREHpoM ASD NATIONALITY.
with rebels and traitors It has compromise to
make. IL contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof the SUPREME
LAW oP THE LAND, anything in the Conbtltution and
Laws Of any Of the States to the contrary notwith-
standing
II contends for The Union Of the States, because
without irthe preservation Of liberties and nsti-
tutions and the organization Of society Itself are
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands la
the way Of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
he Union must perish, no matter by what name Il
be called.
When thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar OF thoi country, saori
fee above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
OF Heaven, God forbid that any ignoble motive Of
selfinterest should make any wsver in his 10y
atty. If there be any such, LET them look at the
blood Of Shiloh, Fort Donelson, hIurlreesboro and
fredericksburg and blush at their wickedncss and
folly. Love for our country should now overshadow
every other feeling aud no is no patriot who loves
his houses, lands negroes with tithe of the devo-
tion which be feels for his country. Even prudent
sehshness should compel 10 be patriots, for who
IAN hope to save bis own treasures from tho wTock e
ruined and dismemborod Utlbni
We want 10 the land once more blessed with the
enduring sunshine Of honorable peace, based upon
the complete and unconditional submission Of the
rebels in arms, and not lit up with the deoeitful
glow Of apeaoe based upon emasculate loyalty, and
concessions to traitors-the glow Of a meteor which
would shine only TO betray, and going out would
leave us in darkness tenfod more gloomy than that
which prevailed before.
These the sentiments and views which the
Uuos will continue to advocate through whatever
Of sunshine may await 1t in the future, aud
we ask tho support Of all who believe it be import
that thoroughly and vigorously loyal newspaper
should bo publishod In Nashville.
