charge Of his duty on Monday next
The DesMoines Times, feeble imitator Of
the Chicago Times, is about to pass into new
hands. The parties who are negotiating for
it are individually familiar to Iowa politicians
as Blueface Palmer Of Council Bluffs, and

change is preparatory to general reorganizs-
tfon Of the Tory party and the nomination Of
Dennis a. Alahony Of Dubuque, for Gov

stump Us the martyr candidate for Governor,

The news from Gen. Rosecrans' depart.
ment is Of the most exciting character.
he met the enemy in a severe battle on the
91st. The eaccounts Of yesterday afternoon
were Of the most cheering character, and
announced Rosecrans at bIurfrccsboro, but
this was not confirmed by our later dis
patches Of last night, which arc
from Nashville and dated yesterday,
and announce that A1cCook, after terrible
fighting, had been driven back four miles
from his first position. The losses are re.
ported very heavy. The most that we have
to fear is that the battle was still undecided.
Rosecrans has an immense and fresh
Amy, and the contest would be long and
powerful one, and when won by him deci-
cisiye. It is the last stake Of the rebels in
the Southwest, and played by their best
Generals and choicest troops. The result
will be awaited by the whole country will,

Review of Rosccran's Campaien,

On the Goth Of October, Maj. Gen, W. 8.
Rosecrans then at Cincinnati, received his or.
dcrs to take command Of the new Department
Of the, Cumberland, and the troops under
Gen. Buell.. Rosecrans wore his fresh 1aurels
won at 1uka, Buell's infamy lad filed it's full
measure, and the exchange was received Us
most welcome to the army and people. AT
that time Buell. was slowly following Bragg,
having passed beyond Crab Orchard. Gen.
Crittcnden's division pursued Bragg in rain
beyond that point, Bragg having succeeded in
getting nearly forty miles upon the way before
Crittcndcn started, but Buell. and his host had
remained at the Orchard ever since they got
there, three or four days.'aftcr the battle Of
Chaplain hills on tic Sth. The war had no
more use for Buell.
| AND REPAIRS 70 NASHVILLE:
Gen. Rosecrans was In Louisville on the 30th
formally taking command and issuing his first
order on that day. He left with his staff for
Nashville on November LIST, ordering his main
army thithcr. The situation of that city WIS
perIlous, Gen. Ncgley was in command, and
had an inadequate force. The city was COM
rlcsely cut of from the surrounding country
hy bands Of rebel gueril1as, and marketing
was beyond the reach Of people in ordinary
circumstances. Meat could be obtained, but
vegetables, butter, cheese and eggs sold at
such high rates that few could buy them.
Said the Nashville Cnion Of the Esd Of Oc,
tober:
The people Of Nashville are III state of sta,z,,
iiop; rs asa s worth aEe dollars pound, and ittlt
10 DC had at that beef thirty cents ponnd: cnm
mon brown sugar one dollar pound; four Mn. ninf
dollars barrel Everything in thc grocery iiae
sells in like proportion. @'''
Under such circumstances 1t may be imar

The American Declaration of Iudepen.
dence appealed to the principles Of the
liberty aud equal rights Of mankind. This
principle alone made the DsclaratiOn im-
mortal In the remebFance of! our people
In our celebrations of our national birth
day We read the Declaration as the gospel
of the day, not because We desire 70 keep
alive the long array of charges against
Great Britian, many of which arose upon
incidents of the war, nor to perpetuate the
hostile feeling, hut because it declares the
great principle of universal liberty and
equal rights.
Contrast this with the "Declaratiou Of
Causes" for secession, issued by South
Carolina. 0ns of the chief of these is
declared TO be 1'lhe election Of a man TO
the high Office Of President of the United
State, whUse opinions and purposes are
hostile to Slavery"
This is set forth among the principal
causes; but the world knows IL was the
sole cause. There was no charge that this
President elect proposed 70 interfere With
the existence of slavery or the legal rights
of the Shareholders, nor any supp0sition
that he could do IL. The Confederate
leaders have put on record the declaration
that slave property was as secure after SIR.
Lincoln was elected as before. But it Is q
declaration that the election of q man whose
opinions were hostile 70 SlaVery-that ID,
who was not actively favorable to Slavery
-Was.a thing the South could not suffer.
Il shows the progress of our Government
toward 0egFadatiOn under pro Slavery rule.
Il is but little while since public men
anywhere savowed opinions favorhble 70
Slavery Southern statesmen were only
anolOgists for Slavery. They pleaded the
| fact Of its existenceFand the impossibility OF
getting rid Of il &C once, but they were not
| defenders of Slavery. With few exceptions
they professed to deprecate It. ...si
The introduction Of Slavery among rs,
was one Of the injuries charged 4gainst
Great Britain IN the Declaration OF Inde-
pendsnce as Jefferson wrote it. Washfng-
| tom the first President, was, in opinions
! and purposes hostile 90 Slavery. He De.
/ sired that measures should be in6nguIated
| by YirginiA 10 abolish Il. John Adams,
| the second President, was, in opinions ana
| purposes, hostile 70 Slavery. JeResson,
the third President, was the father Of the
anti Slavery literature Of the country, and
of the measures for excluding Slavery from
free territory. All the great sfetesn1iel 6i

70 Slavery; and, Of course, In purpose, for
