Heroisn Of TIVE UnloA Women IN
Tennessee.-Thcy save the e7th
I0Wa.
In travelling on the cars from Bethel
to Jackson, Tennessee, the Twenty Sew
enth Iowa Regiment was saved from a
fearful loss of life BY the heroism of a
couple of Union women. The train was
RAINING in the night time at high rate
of speed, and just before reaching rail.
road bridge, the engineer saw couple of
lanterns being waved in the distance, di-
rectly on the track. He stopped the To-
connective, and men we're sent ahead to as.
certain the cause Of the alarm. They
found that the lanterns were held by two
women, who explained to them that .
party of guerriiiss in that vicinity had
been informed Of the coming Of the reg.
iment, and At about eight o'clock thai
evening the williams had set the bridge on
FIRE, and allowed The main timbers to burn
so much that they could not bear the
weight of the train, and then put out the
flames, and went away, hoping, Of course
that the cars would run on the bridge
that it would break down with tn,
weight, aud thus kill and injure many O
the soldiers, and prevent the regimen
from going through. The noble women
had learned of these intentions, and hat
walked ten miles, through the darkness
and mud, to save the Union soldiers.
OF course the officers of the 9th i'm
mediately made arrangements to present
their thanks in . more tangible form thar
words. But the ladies refused all pres
ents. They said that the satisfaction O
knowing ti.at they had aided the cause o.
their country, was sufficient for them =
they only asked for an escor, to. thei,
homes. which was gladly furnished them
How far above al praise is such con
duct. God only can sufficiently reware
it.-[Dubuque Times.

The kentucky Unien Cenvensisu

Tho KENTUCKY union Convention
The Union State convention which
met at Louisville yesterday, was largely
attended. 1t 10 estimated that over one
thousand delegates were present. The
venerable Mr.. Marshall, of Mason coun-
ty, was chosen permanent Chairman.
Business progressed tremendously in
the forenoon. In the afternoon the Hon
Mr.. Wickliffe introduced tho Hon. Mr..
Cravens, q Democratic member of Con.
gress from Indiana. He vouched strong.
~ for his loyalty, and also commend
ed him Is personal friend. He
was respectfully invited tn take his seat
on the platform. Mr. CTavens, upon en-
tering the hall, was called out, and he
proceeded to make a speech. He COM
menced by declaring himself devoted
Union man, and in favor of crushing the
rebellion. This sentiment was applaud
cd. He urged harmony, and said the
eyes Of all Indiana were upon the Con-
vention., This Was also well received. -
He them com menced huds&iOn Of The
Democrats party: whsrsupon there were
whisparings Of dissatisfactioa. He chen
began to abuse the President, but before
he succeeded in getting Of . full sentence
Of this slang; hiis vUics WAS lost IN storm
Of disspprobation. He vas denounced Is
battsrnut and soppsrhead, aud inform
ed that he had no business in that CON.
vention or that State. The excitement
was intense, and members who undertook
10 speak word for Mr.. Cravens, were
also denounced Is copperheads. After
the storm had ragged for some time, and
partly spen, itself. Mr.. Yeaman, = Ken.
lucky Congressman, urged that Mr.. Cra-
~sns be allowed TO proceed. but this had
no effect. The Chairman 6nall pssssad-
Cd tho coBvsnien 10 permit the Indiani-
an to explain. This vas scceeded to, and
Mr.. Cravens said few words on On en-
tirely different string from yhaf upon
which he had commenced TO play. and
subsidized. His closing renarks, contrast
Cd with the speech he undertook to make,
were 30 evidently hypocritical, that they
caused . general feeling Of disgust, and
subsequent proceedings were ssf6cient 10
satisfy Mr.. Cravens that hs Va regarded
By tho convention a. oopperhead.

thrust themselves into the convention for

As some Of Gen. Ewing's friends have taken
ms to task for giving place to an article in our
issue Of the 25th ult, which reflected severely
upon him in common with several other officers,
we take this opportunity Of stating that, as far
as we are concerned, we have the greatest
'repect for Gen. Ewing as man and soldier,
and cannot but think that our correspondent
was in error in CHASING him among those who
have attempted to injure Colonel Cloud The
article alluded to contained many palpable
hits, and for that fact we gave it place; but
presume We should have been more explicit in
regard to the extent we endorsed it. We know
there is not the best Of feeling existing
between Ewing and Cloud, but do not be-
lieve that the former would stoop to anything
disgraceful, even to injure an enemy. OF
course We cannot state positively that such is
the case, but judge from opinions we have
formed Of the man in times past. II would
have been pleasure to US to have seen Cloud
occupy the position which Gen. Ewing now
does, believing him to have stronger claims by
reason Of greater and longer services, but can
not think that the latter wears his stars un-
worthily gD

TIE KANSAS SECOND.

It must be deep love of country that ami
mates the veterans Of the Kansas Second; it
must indeed be patriotism unrivalled that will
ments, in the face Of the neglect which they
have suffered from the hands Of the dispensers
OF favors and emoluments in Kansas. They
are no ordinary men they are of the best and
most loyal blood that Kansas ever sent forth to
do battle in the glorious cause of the Union.
They are Of those who stepped forth at the first
call Of their country; and for two long years,
unfinchingly, une6mplainingly, have borne
the brunt Of many hard-fought field, the
hsrdships Of many long and tedious scout,
have never known defeat, and have earned
equal, If not more honors than any Of the many
noble regiments Kansas has sent to the field.
1t would seem as If this regiment had been
specially singled out by our officials as one to
be totally neglected. Their successes and glo-
rious achievements have never been met by
the reward to which valor is entitled; while
having the plaudits of the people, they have
had the neglect Of the Government. We can
sarcely record . promotion from the ranks;
while Of the officers, one has gone down from .
lieutenant colonel to major, and, for An ex-
ception to the rule which governs the regiment,
Col. Mitchell was promoted to hrigadiership.
Is it not strange that these men fight at all !?
Who is it would relish working two long years.
devotedly and untiringly, and hardly receive
thank you? But still they fight on with
the same indomitable perseverance; still there
come up from their ranks words of faith and
hope in the cause Of the country, and resolve
to never lay down arms until this war is
brought to . termination honorable alike to
themselves and humanity.
Scores have been taken from other regiments
70 hh positions Of trust and pro6t-aud Of this
We DO not complain; but more than scores hsve
been taken from among the fawning sycophants
ef politicians in power-and Of this we do
complain, and which should arouse the indig-
nation of every friend of the soldier. and Of
every friend Of the country which those SOL
diers are perilling life and limb to defend.
No more promotions from civil life say We.
until our deserving and capable soldiers have
received all to which they are entitled.
10 give an idea of how the Second has been
treated, We will state how other regiments, that
shared with it the glory of the campaign un-
der Lyon, have been favored. Six major gen.
erals, thirteen brigadiers, and colonels, lieut..
colonies and majors by the score have sprung
from the little force fought the battle Of viii
son Greek. Prom this regiment, Q 47kPm g As
sckole force, there has been one promoted TO

movement vas made on Haines and Chick
asaw bluffs, the Federals being under COM
mand of General Sherman. The rebels
we're thoroughly intrenched, determined to
dispute the occupancy Of the bluffs till the
last. Gen. Sherman made the attack in
the most brilliant manner. After ssvere

capturing 5000 prisoners, one hundred
heavy guns, one thousand animals, camp

ties Of stores. The loss of the rebels killed
and wounded is awful. Prisoners were
paroled and sent across Yazoo river.
Sunday Gen. Grant directed Al attack to
be made on the upper batteries of Vicks-
burg. Simultaneously the gunboats COM
menoed bombarding the water batteries at
that place. It is stated BY : gentleman
Who stood on the De Soto at point imme-
diately opposite Vicksburg. that on Tues
day Gen. Grant took the rebel guns on the
bill and turned them on the rebels Who
we're at the water batteries. One hundred
and fifty paroled prisoners came over to the
point With flag Of truce that day, being
sent from Vicksburg. They stated that
General Grant had possession Of the entire
line of forti6cations surrounding Vickeburg,
and that the rebel officers told them that it
Was impossible, since the capture Of Hainea
Bluff, for them to escape. The widest
confusion exists in the town. Even the
soldiers we're hurryiag away from the point
the officers being unable to keep them in
line Of battle. - 49,
Speeches we're made by the officers, Is
suring the soldiers that they would receive
large reinforcements, and Grant would be
attacked in the rear. They refused to hear
anything severe. They say they had been
sold by their commanding general.
The rebel force at Vicksburg is estimated
At 10000.
We are informed that the I'd Missouri
came out of the engagement with eighty
four fighting men.
