time, the supply has not been equal to
the demand. This will not be matter
of surprise to those who have carefully
calculated the amount necessary to supply
so large an army, but persons unacquain'

are liable to reach false conclusions. 1t
is found, upon calculation, to require
500 bushels Of potatoes to supply one
pound to each-man in the field, from this
State, and 312 bushels of dried apples to
supply one fourth of pound to each
man, and other things in like proportion
But the character Of the work now be-

command the aid and sympathy Of every
generous loyal person in the State.

ing that time, received from the U. S.

by the aid societies in the West with
great acceptability, and are now being
distributed for use in the general and

on deposit, and which, according to the
instructions from the Government, |

The Government is Offering me safe
and prompt transportation for sanitary
supplies, and every facility for carrying

Owing to recent orders, 10 more goods
can be sent at the cost of the Govern

find no plausible mode Of answering it.
He commences his vapid article By as
serting that the principles Of our Gov.
eminent are opposed to monopoly, and
ends by recommending stringent
license law" He probably did not have
his spectac'es on, or he might possibly
have seen the Inconsistency.
As far as am able to jud ge from the
obscure manner in which be clothed bis
ideas, his view is: that as, in most of the
counties in the State "every man who
can raise money enough to buy gallon

for the State should charge every such
man certain percentage on the amount
lie sells. True he does not say for what
object the State should make this charge,
but it is fair to presume that it would be
for the purpose Of revenue, for he refers
to pccuniary loss occasioned by destroy
ing the liquor, and asserts that it ought
to be sold to aid in paying the costs.
Did Mr. "J-e' think far enough
when he advocated such pernicious doc
trines, that the principle it carried cut
would also cause gambling houses, lotter-
les and other evils of still more abhor-
rent nature to he licensed for the sake of
revenue. His reasoning includes them
all, for he ignores the moral wrong. and
takes what some call the practical, and
others she wrong headed view, that be-
cause certain practices exist, say for in

gambling, stealing. assault and battery,
&c, &c, and will exist although INSANE

be licensed so that a revenue may be de-
rived by the State from the exercise of
such vices; and the sequence is, that our
Legislatures should not pass laws to pre-
vent or punish crime, but when crime
abounds should devise some method to
make money out of it.
Truly his argument seems to me FER.

S. J. kiEKwoon, Governor Of Iowa:

Hon. S. }. kIEKwoon, Governor Of iowa:
DEAR S1R-I have visited, during the
last three months, most of the Iowa req.
iments in the field, and it gives me great
pleasure to report that with but few ex.
ceptions | have found their camps and
hospitals in as good condition as circum.
stances would admit.
Some Of our regiments occupy posi-.
tions of honor and great responsibility,
and most of our officers and troops are
spoken of in terms of praise and com.
mendation by the Commanding Generals
of the Western Department.
The health of our army has greatly i'm
proved, owing mainly to the distribution
of large supplies of vegetables and anti,
scorbutics, but we have now about thirty
thousand troops in section of our coun.
try made desolate by the ravages of war
the sickly season of summer is ap-
preaching, and unless generous supply
of vegetable food is contributed by the
loyal people at home, scurvy, debility and
great mortality must result. therefore
call your special attention to the sanitary
organizations of the State, and urge up.
on you the Importance of securing unan-
imous and concentrated efforts.

Qualifications of Officers.

Ed ofAdverttser:-In your last issue,
l observe that you announce as your
choice for Governor, Gen. Warren
Without saying anything for or against
him or any other man, wish to make .
few suggestions to your readers and par
ticularly to the delegates to the State
Convention.
1t is said that formerly in selecting
man for an Office, the inquiry was made,
us be capable and is he honest?' To
this l would add, is he loyal9 Loyalty
to the Government, uncompromising de-
termination to put down this rebellion
at whatever cost, should be demanded of
him who may be nominated for Governor.
CapabiHty should also be required. Has
he the nerve, the back bone, the cxecu-
tive ability, in these times Of peril, to
discharge the duties of his Office?
have no fears, however, concerning
the above qualifications. They will not
be lost sight of by the Convention. But
| have my fears concerning the other
qualification mentioned above, viz: hon.
csty.
1t is a lamentable truth, and history
attests it, that all political parties have
been governed too much by availabiiity
in selecting their candidates "Who
can We elect ?" "What man of our par
" can carry the lager beer, whiskey-
drinking community" Thus the very
vilest, lowest class Of society have held
the balance of power in nearly all cleo
tions. And no political party can wash
its hands in innocency of this evil. Hence
the political corruption that now curses
the nation.
Ia the coming campaign we have no
fears but that the nominee Of the Repub-
lican State Convention will be elected
The heart of the people is too loyal to
permit it to be otherwise. AyailoJiiity
therefore ought not to have any influence
in selecting a candidate. Even if it has
uuen rIgut heretofore, when l deny, the
plea can have no weight now.
If the Republican party remains per-
manent and successful party, it must Sc
cure and retain the moral and religious
CONNECTIONS Of the people. The conscience
of the people is aroused, and demands
that honest and true men be placed at the
head of Government We protest against
being required to vote for dishonest men,
intriguing politicians, for the sake of
carrying out the noblo principles of a
party. 1t is said to be right in some
cases to "choose between two evils" but
we do not wish to be driven to that ne
cessity.
! Place on your ticket, men who are
honest and true-men who are clear on
the record, not party record, but on the
record Of integrity and rprghtness-men
whom we can vote for without blush of
shame tinging our cheeks, then we will
be with you heart and soul, and the State
will be honored by their election.
Yours, S. n. Fellows

From the conflicting telcgraphic re-

Fieksburg is captured or not; but one
thing is morally certain, and that is that
Grant and his noble boys have petite d
