Great Britain,

The London correspondent of the
New York Times writes:
The Emperor has been more than
civil to Mr.. SIidcll, while Earl Russell
has been much less than civil to Mr..
Mason. Mr.. Slidell, in France, from
all accounts, is as we'll treated as if
he were recognized Envoy. Mr..
Mason, except on his first arrival, has
not been able to get private inter-
view with Earl Russell. Shall | tell
you the reasons for this difference
There are several. One is the prox-
unity Of Canada to the Northern states,
and the similar proximity of Mexico
to the Southern. England hopes to
keep the one France has taken pos
session of the other. England is de-
tcrmined to avoid war with Ameri-
ca. For this the Government stopped
the Alexandra, and 50 stretched the
law in doing it that the Court of Ex-
chequer decided against it. By SINH
lar stretch of law the Government is
stopping the iron-clads in the Mcrsey.
The Government will do everything
that can be done to avoid giving of.
fence to America. 1t earnestly wish
es for peace. No one can tell the ter
ror of a war with America that has
seized upon the English Government
and people. 1t has taken the buster
out of the Times. 1t amounts to a
panic. 1t is ludicrous, and more than
ever so, since the report of the effect
of the American artillery in the siege
of Charleston. 1t cost England So
100000 to bring Mason to England,
and now they are only too happy
to sec him pack up his trunks at No.
"a, Upper Seymour street, and take
the train for Paris. 1t is the 200
FOUNDER PARROTS that have done it.
1t is the fact. now evident enough,
that there is not an English ship afoat,
or an English fortress ashore, that
can resist such artillery-and the fact,
also, that the best gun the English
have got is 68-pounder.

If you meet wcll-dressed man on
the street and ask him where heagot
his clothes, ten chances to one, he will
say 81 got them in Ellerman's Phila-
delphia Clothing Emporium, where !
advise all my friends to get their gar
ments." 1t is not stretching the truth
bit to say that the best merchant
tailoring ever done in this town came
from Ellerman's and there is another
fact that the people should understand.
and many of them do, that the best
fitting, most durable, and cheapest
suits of ready made clothing likewise
come from the Philadelphia Clothing
Emporium. The same may be said of
hats, caps, and furnishing goods. Ell.
lerman's is the place to buy every
time. He has the largest stock west
of Dubuque. and that is q great item
in making selections. Of course you
can suit yourselves better from o
mammoth stock, than from a few doz-
en- suits.-Cedar Falls Gazette.

The Board of State Canvassers have
so far completed their labors as to ena-
bic US to publish entire the Soldiers
votes for Governor and Lieut.. Govern
or. Messrs. Stone and Eastman's ag-
gregatc majorities will be something
more than thirty thousand ! The can.
vass also shows that the soldiers vote
is large enough to elect the Union
candidates for Senators and Repre-.
sentatives in Appanoose, Davis,
Wayne, and Decatur counties, where
the Copperhead candidates for those
Offices had secured majorities on the
home vote. This will reduce the num-
Der of Copperhcad Senators in the
next general assembly to four, and the
Representatives to fre--or, in other
words, give the Republicans MAORI
ty on joint ballot of one hundred and
tirenty-aine. The soldiers vote is far
larger than was anticipated by any
body. and the relative majorities for
the Republican candidates surpass the
most sanguine hopes of those who
were in good positions to judge of the
progress of the canvass !-Des MONIES

From Virginia.

Lees troops have evacuated Fred.
ericksburg lights, which are now
held by our cavalry. Our whole ar.
my, trains and all, have crossed the
Rapid Ann river, and are pursuing
Lee. One corps took the road toward
Charlottesville, and another toward
Orange Court House. The men are
iubilant and anxious to meet the reb-
els. The Washington Republican
says Meade is pressing Lee hard, and
several skirmishes have taken place,
in which the rebels were defeated.
Lee declines an open battle and is
stubbornly falling back. Every thing
looks encouraging for our arms.

was on the ridge just before they
were taken.
A Washington despatch to the New
York Herald states that large
quantity of cotton, amounting, it is be-
lievcd, nearly to 2,OoO, 900 bales, is re-
ported accumulated at Atlanta, Geor-
gia, belonging to the people and to
the rebel Government. 1t is expec-
ted that Gen. Grant intends making
rapid movement on that point. II
will be difficult to remove any con-
siderable portion of cotton in time to
save it from capture.
More detailed, but not strictly Off
cial. kilograms say that whenever we
reach portions Of Bragg's army in

and scatter like frightened sheep,

ner, abandoned artillery. ammunition
and transportation wagons, caissons,
knapsacks, and everything that can
possibly impede their fight. In this
way sufficient more of their artillery
has fallen into our hands to swell the
total amount of pieces taken to 60,
before our troops stopped to rest for
the night. Their progress was every
where lighted by large fires of stores
of all descriptions, to which the rebels
applied the torch to prevent them from
falling into our hands. They also
burned all the bridges they had time
to fire before we were upon them, in
the hope of thus delaying the impetu-
osity of our pursuit. What is left of
Bragg's boosted army is but a panic
stricken mob. 1t is not believed that
the enemy will make any stand this
side of Dalton, Georgia.
Hooker's. Palmers, and Shcrman's

fight on Friday, Palmer's advance
took four guns and 800 prisoners.
Sherman is reported to have advan-
ced from Tyler's Station, on the left,
and cut off 1000 rebels. The road
along which Bragg is retreating is
lined with caissons, wagons, com
missary and medical stores. Pris.
oncrs say it is impossible for the
rebel leaders to make their troops

The Freight Monopoly at Dunleith.

We invite attention to an article
from the independence Guardian, rcla,
tive to the abominable monopoly exer.
rciscd by the Illinois Central Railroad
Company in the transportation of
freight. The present condition of af'
fairs at the river is q shameful impo-
sition upon the people of Northern
Iowa, and one for which there is not
the shadow of an excuse. The produ.
GERS are as vitality interested as the
shippers, for if it were not for the con.
dition.of things which there exists
and which are stated at length in the
article referred to,-farmers would re-
alize from three to five cents more on
every bushel of wheat they sell than
they now do. The Guardian estimates
that Buchanan county pays al annual
tribute to this monopoly of $50, 900.
There are at least ten other counties
that pay an equal sum each, and many
others that pay smaller sums. This
proves that the people through the
country tributary to the Dubuque out.
let, are yearly robbed of half a million
dollars by the remorseless cormorants.
Petitions have been repeatedly sent
forward asking for redress, but no at.
tention has been paid to them. For
the present we are in their power, and
they intend to make the most out oil
us they can. How long are we going
to submit to this wrong? What we
want is another eastern outlet, and
until we get it we may expect to be
imposed upon. IF we had railroad
from this point to Cedar Rapids, dis.
lance of sixty miles, our troubles in
this respect would be at an end. This
would give us choice of routes to
Chicago, the first by our present line
and the second by way of the Chicago,
Iowa & Nebraska road, connecting at
Clinton with the Fulton and Iowa line
of the Galcna and Chicago Union road
By this last mentioned route the dis
lance from this point to Chicago is
said to be thirteen miles less than by
the former. If this short strip of road
were built the rates of transportation
would fall instanter, and the state OF
affairs at the river would be speedily
righted, and besides all this there
would be promptness and accommo
dation manifested in business matters
that is not now shown. The people Of
this section of the State would save
money by building branch from here
to Cedar Rapids themselves if the
present monopoly is to continue tc
bleed them for any great length o.
time. We can see no other remedy
for the evil than the one we have spo
ken of.-Ceddr Falls Gazette.
We are told that the principal cause
of the delay in shipping produce a
Dunlcth was the fact that the Gov
eminent took possession Of the Illinois
Central Railroad for few days and
monopolized the use Of large mum.
Der of its cars. The Government be.
ing now done with the road, freights
at the present time are going forward
as freely as ever. Still, we consider
it Of the highest Importance that the
Cedar River valley should have other
outlets for its produce, and that speed
ly. Eastern people can have 10 com
prehension of the rapid Increase in the
amount Of agricultural products now
going on in this part of Iowa.
