before last appears to have extended its visi
tations over large portion OF the West
In TIE neighborhood of Freeport, H., the
frost was fully as heavy as here. In Tndi.
ana good deal of damage was done. In
Henduoks County field of seventy acres
of corn, the stalks of which were from four
to six feet high, was actually frozen to death,
NOT a hill escaping. Potatoes, melons, and
vines generally, we're severely injured. Such
frost in July was never before known in

The number Of meE thus discharged from

This County has, we believe, furnished
about two hundred men over and above its
quotas under previous calls. The question
is, do we receive credit for this surplus The
Government needs the men, and whether we
receive our full credit or not this people will
promptly and chcerfully respond to any re-
questions the general government may make
upon it. At the same time we do think that
a loyal and patriotic community like this
should not be called upon to make up the de.
ficiency of such places as Dubuque, which is
about 600 behind. We are willing to do
our share, and more than our share, but we
do want to see these copperhead holes made
to shell out their just proportion of the men.
If this County is in excess by zoo men, it
would be but justice to give it credit for the
number and oblge Dubuque to make the
number good on the States quota.

JEFF. DAVIS, LAST CALL.

jeff. Davis has decreed that all the men
between the ages of Is and As in the rebel
States shall be " coerced" into the military
service. And we call the attention of the
Northern sympathizers with the Southern
cause to the terms of the decree. There is
no requisition on the Governors of the States
no apportionment Of quotas-no conscrip-
ton--but one remorseless sweep of all the
men of the military age left in the "Confed-
eracy.' Can this sort Of thing be permitted
Surely it is unconstitutional Is there no
such thing as State rights? Shall we stand
by and see our misguided Southern breth-
rem made the helpless victims of such whole
sale " coercion" as this !? Can such things
be. and no relnonstrant voice be raised bv
the champions OF the resolutions of '9S F"
who hold forth in the editorial room Of the
Chicago Times. .aE-r
But Davis call upon the population en-
masse will share the fate of Glendower's call
upon the "spirits from the Vastly deep" Will
they come when he does call them? He
wanted a much less number for Vicksburg,
to save to the " Confederacy" the control Of
the great highway Of the continent, bnt even
those were not forthcoming And when he
summoned the militia of Virginia to protect
the rear of Lees invading army, no uprising
Of the yeomanry of the "Old Dominion I"
responded to his call. So will it be with his
levy en- neasss. The "Confederacy" can
raise no more armies. (
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania, Indiana aud N
York are alive with volunteers, and the draft
for three hundred thousand men from the
loyal States is moving peacefully along

FISHER DECLINES.

Maturin L. Fisher declines the copperhead
nomination for Governor. Thereason given
is that he could not stand on such a plat
form as that adopted by the convention which
nominated him. Poor Mahony is in ter
rible stew. Copperheadism is certainly at a
discount. The McGregor Times, and the
Sioux City Register, both Democratic papers,
rcpudiate the ticket and the resolutions
What Mahony & Co. will now do remains to
be seen. f.-is
Here is Mshony's wall over his dismem.
bered and disorganized ticket:
We confess that we are chagrined, nor
titled, and, as Democrat, standing face
to face to the enemy, while we are stabbed
/. in the back by protested political friends,
Inundated and disgusted. What heart can
I be brave in contest in which we find an in
fuential portion of our protested political
) associates ready to sacrifice their principles,
and tight on the side of our political adver--
earies only under a different standard bearer.
For what political difference is there between
General futile, whom portion of the De-
mocracy of this State seem determined to
CIOuSc US u uOilitlct ioI NONSEloT, anu SOI
Stone whom the Abolition Republican party
have chosen as their standard bearer2
The old Prisoner of State then says:
"Shall the Democracy sacrifice itself and
its principles by adopting as its candidate for
Governor man who is in the service of Alb
raham Lincoln, and who, if ordered by him
to enforce martial law in Iowa, would do it
as readily and willingly as Gen. Burnside
has done it in Ohio, and who, if there were
another Vallandigham in Iowa, would sub
ject him to the same outrages as the valiant
defender Of Democratic principles was sub
jected to in Ohio, or on the contrary will not
the Democracy Of Iowa intimate and If pos
siblc emulate the example Of our associates
in Ohio. and nominate a candidate whose acts
accord with his sentiments, and whom we
can depend on if We should be so fortunate
as to be successful" 5l ts+.
Lastly Mahony says that Stone is better
man than Tuttle, and that if the Democrats
persist in nominating the latter, the Herald
will support the former. If we were an anti
Stone man we should be pleased with such
Z state Of affairs; but as we are not, we pre-
fer that the old traitor do not slime his trea-
son on our side of the house. The craft
that carries the political fortunes Of D. A.
Aanony and clique is bound for perdition.
and we would rather ride in some other
boat.

FROM CHARLESTON.

r. -rs. n.a fa .E New YORK, July 26.
We, arc indebted to the Herald for the fol
lowing account the operations near Charles
ton, received by the Arago. ,rs9..,
On the 18th the rebels attempted to drive
our forces from James Island The attack
was sudden and unexpected, but Gen. Terry
met and repused them with great slaughter
The gunboat Pawnee, which supported the
left flank, grounded, and rebel battery
opened upon her, firing about fifty shots,
thirty-nine of which hit her. She subse.
quently tloated off, and opened on the rebels
putting them to flight. /
Our casualties were small, and the rebels
were taught lesson they will not soon forget.
The bombardment of Fort Wagner was re-
newed on the morning of the 22d, the iron
clads cooperating with the army during the
day. Fort Wagner was silenced for some
time and the colors shot away. The new
Union batteries were opened upon the rebels
doing great execution
Later, charge was made on Fort Wagner
and our troops, after desperate struggle,
were obliged to fall back, which they did in
excellent order and held their old position
The loss on our side was quite severe, but
our total loss of killed and wounded and miss
ing since the 10Th is only about 1000.
The Catskill was struck over fifty times,
but is all right.

desperate and vigorous sortie, attempting to
take Gen. G.'s land batteries by storm They
were only partially successful, however, our
men being driven from their guns only 20

but several Of the vessels were more or Il IS
injured in the encounter. Sumter is believed
to be badly preached, but not sufficiently to
expect its surrender. Several explosions are
said to hare occurred within its walls and
