1861 he gives his position and the rea

soldier, and his words afford a fair idea Of
the feelings of all Iowa soldiers. We
make the following extract
"The Iowa soldiers whom have seen
are sound upon the question of electins
the Republican Union ticket. 1t is oply
reasonable that this should be the case in
the army, as no man who has been in

every act OF two years of the best and
most glorious part of his life-the two
years which many Of the regiments have
been fighting for their country-by vot-
ing any other ticket than the one nomi-
mated on the 18th Of June. II We should
admit that the Convention which assem-
bled at Des Moines on the Sth Of July
was composed of loyal men, who repre-
sented loyal men, We could not vote for
those they nominated or may hereafter
nominate without being recreant to our
selves and to our country, for the reason
that they oppose the Government in eve-
ry means aud measure which it takes for
the suppression of the RebelIi u, and
want (if they want at all to suppress the
rebellion To use others which no one 10

the opposition are honest, and are striy-
ing for the same end that we are, why

they have adopted is SO tortuous as to

find men about whose sincerity and 10y
atty there eau be no question, who be-
lieved with US as to the means for accom-
plIshIng the great end, and for these men
we will vote.
at is rumored here that General Tut
tie has allowed himself TO be nominated,
and will accept the nomination OF . part,
or all, tas the case may be- OF the Cen

would be heartily sorry to know that Gen

IMPROVEMENT OF TIE Iowa RIVER
We hear talk, says the Iowa City Press,
OF company about being organized with
. view Of building locks at the dams in
the Iowa river. above the city, for the
purpose of enabling small sized steam
boats to navigats the river. This is GER
tainly commendable enterprise, and We
trust it will not be allowed to fail.
STATE TRoPnY-Adjt. Gen. Baker has
lately received the regimental flag Of the
18th Louisiana rebel regiment, which was

BY the S0th Iowa. The flag. which is a

ten distinct bullet holss, while the staff is
pierced by nine. Four men we're killed

THE STATE FAIR FAILURE The
State Fair, at Dubuque, last week, is rep
resented to have been a melancholy fail.
ure. Not more than 5000 visitors we're
IN attendance at any time, and the exhi-
bition was similarly spare. The war,
with its engrossing interests, is assigned
as the principal cause of the failure.
Iowa has too many of her sons in the
field, not to experience the drain on these
occasions.
AFrRAr AT DUBUouE.-A serious at
fray occurred on the Fair Grounds at Du-
baqus on Friday.
A man named Buckley, resident Of
Dubuque, was talking to Frank McNear,
when the latter remarked that be was
copperhead and did NOT care who knew it.
Upon this Buckley made an assault upon
McNear with knife, inalcting a severe
wound. 4 man named Fisher then came
to the assistance of Buckley, when he
was struck upon the head with stone by
one of McNear's friends. One other man
was injured.

EDITOR GATE CRY:
A citizen and taxpayer who, with
many other law-abiding citizens who feel
an interest in.an honest and competent

rights, would respectfully inquire why it
is, and by whose authority or management
is it that the Jurors empanelled or called
upon to set as Jurors for..,,he past two
years have been and are, at the present
term of our Court the same set of men,

vices, direct or indirect, as professional
jurors, and who have no other qualif ca
ton than their prejudices for or against

ADJ'T GENERAL BAKERS REPORT.
We learn from the Davenport Gazette
that Gen. Baker has requested them to
state that he has no copies of his report
for sale. The number printed will not
meet the demands of those entitled to them
under the law regulating their distribu-
ton, aud the demands of the different
military departments of the United States
and of the different States. He cannot
answer the many letters that be receives,
applying for these reports, though in thus
declining to communicate, he wishes it
distinctly understood that he wishes no
disrespect to any one. Those entitled to
the report will be supplied as fast as pos
sible, while those who are not need make
no further application.

SEPTEMBER 18th. 1868.

SEPTEMBER 18th, 1868.
MR. EDITOR Il was handed yester-
day, through the mail, prospectus for
religious family newspaper, proposed to
be published at Louisville. Ky. styled
"The Western Presbyterian" The ed
itors are Rev. 7. II. Cleland, late Of Leb-
anon, Ky, and Rev l. c. Mckee, Of
Louisville, who supplied the Wes,minis-
ter Presbyterian Church for six months
during 1850.
The paper puts forth the proposition
"to be truly conservative family news
paper" The character of the "conserv
atism' of the paper is clearly indicated to
my mind BY its being, evidently, the suc-
cessor of that other cminently "conserv-
tive" paper, styled the True Presby-
terlan.' which was suppressed by the
Government, and whose editor was that
eminently conservative" gentleman
Rev. Stewart Robertson. also suppressed
and sent to Dixie. if | am not mistaken.
Now the character of the "eonserva.
tism' of one of the proposed editors, of
the new paper, Rev. T. H. Clelland, is, l
think. less questionable than that of its
"illustrious predecessor He was pas
tor of a New School Church at Lebanon.
KY, nearly as long as can remember
but upon the action Of the New School
Assembly upon the slavery question at
Cleveland, he left that Church and uni
ted with the Old School His we'll known
"conservatlsm entities him to the conf
denco Of the Copperhead party in Ken
tucky. and they nominated him for Su-
perlntendent of Public instruction, on a
ticket with that venerable and eminent
conservative, DR.. Wickliffe, whom Gov.
Bramlett beat $4,000 votes.
OF the other proposed editor, Rev. |.
G. Mckee, well known, and SO much be-
loved here, write my convictions with
great reluctance.
| had known him in Kentucky as an
anti-slavery man, and one never too pru-
dent, or ashamed or afraid to speak his
sentiments. In 1856, in very full and
to me powerful argument against slavery ]
he requested me to select him home inI
my visit to the West. In 1859 he came
to Keokuk, supplied the Westminster
Church, aud had call, but had one at
Louisville that he considered more clear,
and accepted it. But at the General As
sembly, at Columbus, Ohio, in lS-, be
made speech and voted against Doctor
Breckinridge's resolution, and, l under
stand sympathized largely with Stewart
Robertson and his "True Presbyterian, >
published for the purpose of combating
Dr.. BIS views. But his association with
Rev. 7. Ii. Clelland in the enterprise
sought to be inaugurated by the prospec-
tus. aad the assumption of word to ex-
press the object of his paper, which has
been every where used to the most treas
enable ends. beginning with the rebels
"let us alone,"' passing up to "Kentucky
neutrality, and eliminating in the real
traitorous sentiment in the Copperhead,
which cries "the Union as it was, and
the Constitution as it is,n are the evil
dences upon which base my personal
conviction that he is not conservative n
this great question of the country. Any
body who does not want to patronize a
paper that will be hostile to the Govern
ment would do we'll to wait.
