reached Cincinnati on Thursday last, and states
among other items OF interest, that Pemberton's
Vleksburg army has gone to pieces. The Tex

able to do nothing bat retreat which seems to
be his forte in war.

The Union men in every township should
be thoroughly organized for next Tuesdays
work. That the county gave us majority
Of over 600, the Senatorial District over
1900 and the State over $4,000, at our last
elections should not be offered in excuse by
a single man for the relaxation of any effort
that may add to the strength Of the Union
vote. Every loyal man should work just as
hard to secure a vote to the Union ticket as
if that vote saved us the election. Our
friends, many Of them, are too confident that
our former handsome majorities will be main.
tanned and increased. Tho vote polled< it
cannot be expected, will be as large ashtse-
to(ore. But it can be expected b.; proper
exertion that the decrease in the total will
not come out Of tho Union vote. But We
assure our readers that the Copperheads Of
this section have hopes Of making gains and
electing candidates, too. They are adopting
every means they can conceive to accomplish
this result Organize, then, we say, and not
only elect the Union ticket unanimously.
but by Overwhelming and unprecedented
majorities.

olution for inqniring into the tone and temper
Of the United States on the subject Of peace,
with view to responding If favorable. The
House knows what everybody knows. that
such resolutions are both idle and mischiev.
Gus, for they will only be taken by our enc
mics as evincing more or less readiness on

GOOD NEWS FOR THE YVES -.
AL aboard for losca Fal,s 7seeropa to CEDAR Falls.
President Stimson Of the Dubuque 4 Sioux
City Railroad Company, returned from New
York, on Tuesday last. after having made
arrangements by which the rnilrcad il to BE-
Immediately extended to Iowa Falls. and yes.
terday the contract for grading it and laying
the ties for the iron was awarded to Messrs.
Magill 4 Denton. OF Manchester. The work
is to be commenced on Monday, the 9th inst.
and the fist % miles Of the contract to be
finished by December 18th, and the entire
distance to Iowa Falls, 43 miles, to be ready
for the iron on the lat day Of May. 1864.
Mr.. Stimson has also made contract with
the Illinois and Mississippi Telegraph Com.
pany, by which they are to erect telegraph
line to Cedar Falls, and have it in working
order by the 10Th OF November next.
This will be grand news for the people out
west. Beyond Cedar Falls, the farmers and
merchants have been hoping for this con.
summation until their hearts are sick with
mere hoping. and despair has wellnigh taken
its place. For their sake, a. well as Cor the
sake Ct our city and the interests Of North
crn Iowa we are glad that Mr.. Stimson has,
by his energetic management, secured the
extension Of the road.
The citizens Of the towns along the line Of
the road, especially of Independence, Man
chester, Waterloo and Cedar Falls. have felt
the need Of telegraph communication with
Dubuque for years. Their want will speedi-
ly be satisfied. and they will be placed with
in lightning reach Of the rest Of the world.
Messrs. Magill 4 Denton have built all the
road, with the exception OF twenty miles, TO
Cedar Falls. Their energy ia sufficient guar
antee that the work on the extension will be
done speedily and well.

THE LADIES' NORTHWESTERN

In regard to this patriotic enterprise on
the part Of the ladies Of the Northwest We
make the following extract from lengthy

As our readers already know. numb, r
Of enterprsing ladies' Of Chicago have plan
ned a mammoth Fair and Festival, to be par
ticipated in BY the entire Northwest, the pro.
ceeds 1t which are to be donated to the Chi.
cago Sanitary Commission. II should he re.
membcred that the Chicago branch Of the
United States Sanitary Commission bestows
its benefactions on all sick and wounded sol.
diers, without regard to State, rank, color.
army or navy. Hence, on calling upon the
Northwest to contribute to that which bears
a local name. the committee have full conf.
dence that the responses will be common.
surate with the broad scope and general M.
ture Of the good work sought to b. accom-.
pIished.
Tho Fair in to commence on Tuesday
morning, October 27th. and will continue,
from day to day, for two or three weeks. II
will be opened at Bryan Hall, upper and

so 20 be served up at various hours every
