Important Post Office Arrangement

Tue recent Congress changed the post
office laws materially. This change goes in
to effect on the first day of July, and it is
important that the public should be fully
posted. The following is the section of the
law relating to the prepayment of postage
and box rents:
Sec. 8. Ind be 1T further enacted, That
no mail matter shall be delivered by the
postmaster until the postage due thereon
shall have been paid; and no boz at any
pOstc6fce shall be assigned to the use Of any
person until the rent thereof has been paid
for at least one quarter, for which the post
master shall give receipt, and keep re-
cord thereof in his Office, which record shall
be delivered to his successor.
This section absolutely prohibits the deIio-
ery 81 aaay letter, newspaper, pamphlet, or
package whatever, until the postage charged
thereon shall be paid. Postmasters must
strictly conform to it. Printed matter must
be retained until it is paid for, either as a
transient package, or for quarter
Our citizens will bear this in mind and
act accordingly.

To the Readers of the Chronicle.

CITIZENS OF DoDGEvILLE AND Iowa CoUN-
TY: We have come among you and taken
hold of your County paper, intending to use
our best endeavors to make it readable
sheet, giving the local news Of the county,
and all matters Of general interest that may
from time to time transpirc. In politics the
CHRONICLE will be Republican, supporting
the Constitution, and the Administration in
its endeavors to preserve that great corner
stone Of all our liberties, past, present, and
future. This should be THE AIM and object
of life of every American citizen especially
in these times of our national troubles.
We shall aim to be honest and candid in
what we say and do, trusting that those who
may think different from us are equally can
did in their views. We do not believe that
any good is evee accomplished by wild, reck-
less, and extravagant political expressions
Of one party toward another, but rather
that men are beings capable Of reason, and
consequently they should be reasoned with.
These being our views on this all important
subject, we shall aim to make the CHRONICLE
a newspaper that every citizen Of Iowa coun-
ty will be willing to support
In regard to news we shall do our best to
collate, condense and print all that will be
of interest to our readers that may occur at
home, in the army, or in the country at
large. .

Important From North Carolina.

The transport Emilia arrived at Fort
Monroe on the Goth, from Newbern with
adyices to the 18th, she brings intelli-
gence that it is reported from rebel
sources that the Union forces are in
possession of belt of country 300 miles
long and $50 miles wide, with the inland
seas and rivers filled with Union gun
boats. This belt reaches through North
Carolina to Virginia, which prevents
Notifications from being constructed
While this continues the permanent
possession of North Carolina and Vir-
GINA cannot be expected.
The Unionists in East Tennessee and
Western North Carolina have organized
powerful force and have been joined
by thousands of deserters and conscripts
from the rebel army, to whom protec-
ton is guaranteed, for the purpose of
holding the mountain regions against
the rebel Government.
Rebel citizens have petitioned Cover
nor Vance for protection against this
organization. Gov. Vance replied that
he had no troops to send, and that they
must protect themselves. Already have
10000 insurgents offered openly to join
the Union army, as soon as military
post is established at Raleigh.

The Troubles in Dodge County,.
Measures for Preserving Order.

The Troubles in Dodge County,
Measures for Preserving Order.
Our readers are already aware, says
the Journal, that two enrolling OH !
GERS in the eastern part of Dodge coun-
ty have recently been fired upon and
severely wounded by bushwhackers.
Last night, by order of Gen. SMITH,
who commands in this district OF Gen.
PORES department., Companies B and
FL of the 3Oth Wisconsin left Camp
Randall, under command Of Major
CLowNIE, for Hartford. They will
make their headquarters there for the
present. and take measures for putting
a stop to these attempted assassinations
of officers of the Government, engaged
in the quiet performance of duties de-
volved upon them by the laws OF the
country.
We understand that Senator SAT.
CLARK, to whose influence and teach
ings these demonstrations of violence
are so largely due, is now apparently
DESTROYS to prevent further outbreaks.
But he has raised spirit that he finds
difficult to quell. From the first he has
instructed his followers that the war is
wickedly waged by the Federal Govern
ment against the South, that no Demo
crat ought to lend any aid or contenance
to it, that it is war in violation Of the
Constitution, and that the duty of all
Democrats is to remain at home and
vote the Democratic ticket. Such teach
ings, from man they have been accus-
toned to regard as leader, have already
borne bloody fruits among the peculiar
class of people that constitute large
majority Of the district, and it is now
difficult for them to unlearn the lesson
assiduously inculcated for the past two
years.
On Friday las, as we hear, Senator CLARK
had an interview with the Provost Marshal
General, Col. LOWELL, and stated that on the
following day there would be a meeting of
the leading Democrats from the several
towns of the District at Horizon, to consider
what course they would pursue. Mr. 9.
had strong hopes of pursuading them to res
pect the laws, and permit the enrolment to
60 on without further interruption. lie
was to communicate the result Of the meet
ing to Col. LOWELL, or Gen. Smith, at Mil
waukee, and if favorable no troops were to
be sent IF the temper of the meeting was
violent, then it was understood that de-
tachment of troops would be sent forward
at once to enforce the authority of the laws.
Last evening dispatch came from Gen.
Smith, ordering the companies above men
toned to proceed at once to Hartford, from
which the inference is that CLARK was I'M
able to control the meeting at Horizon, and
that it resolved upon the secession Of the
33d Senatorial District from the jurisdic-
ton of the Federal Government
Major CLowNIE's command accordingly
left on the ten o'clock train, provided with
forty rounds of ammunition.

THE CRoPs.-In our trip from Madison to
this place last week we noticed that the

but needed rain very much; but we could
not help seeing the difference between the
crops in the valley and on the high rolling
prairies around Dodgeville, the growth be-
ing week or ten days in advance.

No SOLUTION YET-The movements
of Gen. LEE in Virginia still remain an
unsolved problem The usual number
of reports and counter-reports are tele-
graphed over the country. New panics
have broken out in Pennsylvania. Har-
risburg is still expecting visitation,
and the smoky town of Pittsburg is wild
with exciting rumors Of rebel advance
in force in that direction. The curtain
must lift before long and reveal the true
nature of the situation.

The Rebellion Devouring It's Au-
thors.


The man who organized this rebellion
are passing out of sight Ben. McCul-
Tough, Felix Zollicoffer, A. S. Johnson,
Gregg, Garnett, Van Dorm, "Stonewall'
Jackson, and others have paid the NOR
tai forfeit of their great crimes Such
men as cobb, Toombs, Wise, Floyd,
Humphrey Marshall, Bishop Polk and
Gustavs Smith, have all gone to the rear
J. r. johnson is probably an invalid,
and incapable Of rendering further ser
vice. Bragg, Breckenridge, Pember-
ton, Price and Beauregard are still in
service, but acquiring no laurels. The
ablest rebel General, and one who has
not lost prestige, is Lee, and he is about
the only.one who will be famous in his
tory. To supply the places left vacant
by the above, there is no second crop
hewing their way up to the front rank
by their swords, or devouring qualities
that fit them for leadership and com
mand. It is a bad sign for the rebellion
that whilst its master spirits are disap-
pearing from the stage, it breeds no ma
terial for the succession Syracuse

s7Y@ Gen. GILMORE, who succeeds Gen.
HUNTER in the command of the department
of the South, is said to be an excellent
young officer, who has a reputation as a
military engineer, second to that of no man
in the service He has figured in siege OPP
erations on the coast, and in field operations
in the West and from both spheres of
duty he brought with him the prestige of
success. He is a native of Ohio. He con-
Quoted the Siege of Fort Pulaski.
GRAM ELEVATORS IN CmcAGo.-Another
immense Grain Elevator, said to be the
largest in the world, has just been finished
in Chicago, and still another Of equal size
is nearly completed They have been built
in the most substantial manner, and are fur
nished throughout with the most perfect
machinery, including large number of
Fairbanks 500 bushel Hopper Scales, which
insure correst weight to buyers and sellers
of grain The amount of grain which can
be handled in these Elevators IN single
day is enormous. The increased produc-
ton of grain in the Northwest is perhaps
shown in no way more clearly than by the
rapid increase in Chicago of the facilities for
receiving and shipping it.
