Republican State Convention.

The Republicans of Iowa arc requested to
send delegates to State Convention, to be
held in the City of Des Mones, on Wednesday
the 18th of June, 1868, to commence at 10
O'Clock A. NJ, for the purpose of placing in
nomination. to be voted for at the ensuing
October election, candidates for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and one Judge of the su-
preme Court, and for the transaction of such
other business as may properly come be-
fore the Convention.
The ratio of representation will be the same
as at the last Republican State Convention,
viz: One delegate to each organized county,
and one delegate additional for each 100 votes
cast at the last Presidential election for Hon.
Abraham Lincoln as President of the United
States. Fractional votes of so or more will
be entitled to an additional delegate All citi-
liens without distinction of party, who are
heartily in favor of sustaining the Government
in the use of all Constitutional and necessary
War measures for the speedy and complete
suppression of The Rebellion, ond the punish
ment of Treason; who are opposed to the
schemes designed 10 bring anarchy and blood
shed to our own firesides by dividing the Free
States into hostile and petty Confedera
ces and who still believe in the good old
doctrine of General Jackson, " The Uaioa--a
must and shall Be preserved" are cordially invi-
ted to unite in sending delegates.
County Central Committees are requested to
take such steps as will insure full attendance
at the Convention and thorough and eff
cient organization in their respective coun-
ties. JAMES Il. LANE.

Northern Traitors to be Dealt With.

We learn, from Washington, that
the Government contemplates the is
suing Of general war order, to the
effect that all men at the North who
shall be found talking or publishing
sentiments of a reasonable character,
will be arrested and sent South through
the rebel lines, aid that any person
or persons in the North who shall be
detected in acts of treason by giving
actual aid to the enemy, as spies or
otherwise, when arrested, will be tried
by court-martial, and, if convicted,
shot. rr et-t.rNrr
The order of this effect, recently is.
sued by General Burnside, indicates
that this plan for the silencing and
checking of treason in the loyal States
is about TO be adopted. ~ a
This is the course the Government
ought to have pursued from the start,
and the sooner it adopts it now, the
better. The first duty the Govern
ment owes to the country, in a time of
war, is that of protecting itself from
its enemies Chicago Journal. 49,

From Virginia.

Our forces, comprising cavalry,
infantry and artillery, under General
Stoneman, after making feint at
kelly's Ford, crossed the Rappahan,
mock higher up and pushed on to
Culpepper and Grccnville. They now
occupy the latter place, having driven
the enemy therefrom. This breaks
the line Of The Virginia Central Rail-
road, and turns the flank of the rebels
at Fredericksburg. Stoneman cap
tured 5000 prisoners.
Airport is prevalent that the rebel
cavalry force which has been hover
ing around Bull Run mountains and
Culpepper have been surrounded by
General Stahl, and that their capture
is Almost certain. This report is
generally credited.

Those who arc in possession Of all
that is known on the subject of our
relations with Great Britain, feel
that they have reason to be more
hopeful of a pacific solution of pending
questions than they were few days
ago. They think that England is be-
ginning to see the error of her ways,
and that she will, either through the
agency of courts or by some other
means, stop the feet that is now be-
ing fitted out in her ports from going
to sea. All evidences of late, point, in
this direction. #t

The Attack on Charleston.

1t appears that the attack by our
armorcd vessels upon the rebel fortif-
cations in Charleston harbor was in
tended as fecler +" and for the pur-
pose of removing the distractions in
the way of the passage of the Moni.
tors. Several things were demon
strated 10y the movement, viz: that
the Whitney Iron-clads are enfcrior 10
the Ericssons that the Monitors are
almost impenetrable to the most
terrible cannonading !; and the chan.
mel, which runs by Fort Sumpter, has
been filled with obstacles, which form
a very serious barrier in the way OF
vessels attempting to reach Charles
ton.
The telegraphic description Of the
storm of missiles hurled upon the Ke-
okuk, and subsequently directed
against other iron-clads, give a
faint idea of the converging fire from
Cummings Point, Fort Moultrie and
Fort Sumpter, through which the Fed
erai vessels passed Such terrific
shower of shot and shell never before
in the history Of naval warfare fell
upon the decks and sides of so small
a fleet. The monitors, hardly observ-
able above the water, braved for hours
the concentrated fury Of the most
powerful batteries which Secession
ingenuity could devise. and were CON-
paratively unframed. This, in it.
self, is victory.
Neither the Federal nor rebel advi-
ces afford any clue to the loss of life
sustained by the rebel garrisons.
The short range at which the Fcder-
al fire was delivered; for portion of
the time, must have caused much de.
struction. 1t seems improbable that
the rebel forts were bombarded with
40 pound missiles, at distances less
than one thousand yards, without ex.
tensive casualties in the Notifications.
Beauregard's forte at Justification will
probably be called into requisition to
hide the rebel loss on the occasion.
The attack was essentially recon
noisance in force, and nothing more.
There was no cooperation on the
part of the land forces, and it was
not contemplated that Charleston
could be taken without the aid of the
army. The siege train which ac-
companies Hunters divisions, in
weight of metal excels any siege
train ever before used in the lombard
mcnt of fortified places. 1t includes
a number of fifteen-inch mortars and
2oO-podndcr PARROT guns. and placed
in position can. il is supposed batter
Fort Sumpter to pieces in compare
lively short time. The number of
guns in the iron-clad feet is small
when compared with those which
make up the siege train Of the army
There must, however, be much hard
fighting before this train can be
brought to bear on the Notifications
Of the harbor.
