a private letter as follows:
As to the Rebellion, the
prospect has much improved the last
few weeks. The tone of the politi
clans, the great uprising of the people
in the formation of Union leagues, the
speeches of such men as Brady and
John Van Buren,, the collapse of the
gold market, the general sinking of
party and the grand conclusion that
" a country ,oithout a party is better than
a party soishoat co1nsry," are all hope
full signs of coming day. These ad-
ded to the general evidence corrobora-
ted by testimony from all portions of
the South of coming and pressing des-
titution there, and an evident tiredness
Of the war and hoping for peace, are
fast inspiring confidence that the time
is not far distant when the old "star-
shall once more
wave over the unbroken
American Union. May the time soon
come and with it returning prosperity
and a permanent peace. Could we

grand charge along the whole line,

at Charleston. on the Rappahannock,
at Murfreesboro, and at Vicksburg,

ceasing, it does seem as though the
rebellion could be ended. Greeley

The Union Cause.

With the cheering news of a glorious Uniol
revival throughout the loyal States ther,
comes continuous confirmation of the re.
ported dcstitution, suffering and discomfort
throughout rebellion. Nothing is wanted to
secure an early triumph for the Union cause
but an earnest prosecution of the war by a
united people determined to maintain the
Government under which they have enjoyed
SO many blessings. The supporters of the
Administration are doing all in their power to
supply this want. The coppcrheads are work.
ing day and night to prevent that supply and
to impede all efforts to suppress the rebellion.
Is any comment needed!

Our Railroad Prospects.

| It is highly probable that, owing TO Tho
abundance of money and the great increase o.
agricultural products, all thedifferent railroad,
of Iowa will be extended the present season
The only drawback is the scarcity Of laborcrs
| To supply this deficiency, 1t il suggested that
negroes may be probably employed.
Since vague rumors are daily circulated
along the Cedar river valley in regard to oul
own railroad prospects, we may as well state
what we have for several weeks known upon
the subject. We have kept silent thus far
because the gentlemen who are moving in be-
half of the Cedar Falls and Minnesota railroad
did not desire to agitate the question along the
route until their plans were fully matured, and
they had something tangible and positive to
lay before the people. The prime mover is
Plat Smith, Esq, of Dubuque, WHO'S large
owner in the Dubuque s. Sioux City road. 1t
isconceded that three fourths Of the business OF
the D. & s. c. railroad, the past winter, has
been given 1t by the country north of Cedar
Falls. Hence If the road can be extended even
twenty miles up the Cedar river, the ID. & SC
the north, even in Minnesota, and still retain
oil its former business.
In view of these facts, certain capitalists,
and among them Dean Richmond, who owns
the Elevator at Dubuque, and Pres. Osborn
and others, of the Ill. Cent. Il. r. Company,
who have an Elevator on the opposite shore,
at Dunleith, are subscribing money to put in
operation portion of the G. +. & NJ. railroad
the present season. Sufficient money is al.
ready subscribed to complete the road to Wa
verify, and in three months from the time
work commences, the cars will be running to
that place. II more money can be raised, the
road will be extended further, and we honest
~ believe that the cars may come into Charles
City within one year, with proper efforts, just
as well as TO wait longer.
In view of the importance of immediate rail-
road facilities for Floyd county, is It not due
to ourselves that action be had at once, and
provision made for paying the coupons, as
they become due, of the Floyd county bonds,
granted to the Cedar Falls & Minnesota Rail-
road Company by our Board of Supervisors,
on certain conditions conditions It is
probable the Railroad Company will be, If
they are not already, prepared to carry outi
The grading Of the railroad through Floyd
county should be commenced at once, and
there is no doubt that much If not all of it
may be completed this season. Wetrust that
authorized agents of the railroad company
will soon visit this part of the route, and that
full and free consultation upon the subject
may be had

From Washington.

1t is said that the report Ut the Com
mittee on the Conduct Of the War
will make nearly one hundred pages
and the testimony will fill one or more
volumes. 1t will be utterly crushing

dence in profuse abundance, demand.

ment Of escaped contrabands, by vir-
tue of her local laws, is said to have

The Government has authorized
Gen. Ullmann to raise black brigade,
and Governor Andrew to raise a
couple of negro regiments but be-
yond that, no authority has yet been
given to any one to enlist black troops.
Scores of petitions have come in from
persons wishing to be officers of black
regiments but the War Department
positively refuses to give further au-
thority to anybody, for the present
1t is intimated, however, that they
mean soon to begin the work Of enlist
ing negroes into the service.
All officers yet on rebel hands are
to be at once exchanged, and to that
end orders have been issued, to have
all rebel officers in our hands, who
can bear transportation at all, at once
sent to Baltimore.
The widow ofthe Jackson who killed
Ellsworth, came into our lines at I'm
ion Mills, and begged permission to
come over to our side again, Offering

Gen. Sigel's leave Of absence has
been further extended, and he is still
in New York.
The Navy Department has received
positive intelligence of the destruction
of the Rebel steamer Georgiana, of
Long Island beach, S. c., by our feet.
She was powerful steamer. 407 tuns
burden and l50-horse power, and
was considered more formidable than
the Alabama. She left Liverpool on
Jan. 81, and has since been at Nassau,
N. p, fitting out to prey upon North
ern commerce. She had two guns
already mounted when she arrived
there.
