said: "All the worlds stage, and all the
men and women merely actors.o We
never read it but our hearts echo, truth
sound TRUTH Some there are that act thei,,
parts in such way as to shock every
beholder, and all right-minded persons
turn away to seek something more enter

What can we say of the parts acted
by persons, that in times like these. will
adopt and wear a badge only known and
applied to our country's direst foes? No
wonder that men returning from the field
of conflict, where only sad and earnest
scenes are acted, seize the ensign of treason
wherever found and trample il in the
dust. While there are few that disgrace
our land, how many are acting nobly,
grandly, the parts by God assigned themP
We need not refer to those that TODAY
are on the battle field. In every loyaI

every patriot soldier has been crowned

know our duty.
Already hundreds and thousands of the
women Of Iowa have adopted self-abnega-
ton for their motto. We felt it when we
gave our husbands. sons and brothers to
our conntry-we have felt it in every stitch
we have taken, in every box we have
packed, and every package we have for
warded; more than ever we feel it now
The thought comes to US: Myhusband, my
brother, my friend, may be sick wounded,
dying; and the agonizing thought fires our
souls with new zeal. Ifthere is any power
in woman's will and woman's efforts, every
boat that leaves our port, Southwark bound,
will be laden with supplies. We cannot
lose a moment. "From early morn till
dewy eve," intellect, heart and hand must
be employed in the great work.
The traitor may tell us, ''our efforts are
vain-our supplies will never reach their
destination" We heed him not. He is
but quoting from an old farce that has no
! interest, for it contains no truth. The God
that watches over and sustains us now,
will prosper and bless our labor. Glorious

KENTUCKY UNIoNIsM.-At a meeting of
the Union Democracy of Caldwell county
KY, held on the 18th inst, the following.
among other resolutions, were unanimous
ly passed. 1t will be observed that De-.
mocracy in Kentucky compares very ia
vorably with the Copperhead species in the
Northern States;
ResolUed, That we will support no man
for office who is not in favor OF FURNISHING
all the men and money necessary or de,
manded by the constituted authorities of
the Government to prosecute the war for
American nationality and against traitors
in arms, treason and rebellion, to a success.

the power and authority of the Government

rity.
Resolyed, That we heartily endorse or.

their faithful execution will greatly aid in
the restoration of peace, quiet, and good
order in this State.

va. The Copperheads are getting sick OF
their conduct at Indianapolis. They begin
to understand that they overshot the mark.
Their treason stood out rather too proml-
nently for their own welfare. All the hon
est democrats, who mean right and wish to
be patriots, were amazed and shocked at
the display of an armed mob, tiercely de-
nouncing the Government of the Union,
and at the sympathy for the traitors the
scoundrels made so conspicuous. We
don't wonder that the villains are fright
ened at the effect of their acts-that they
endeavor to deny well proven facts, and
impress the public with the idea that they
and their butternut mob, were much
abused and very orderly and reputable as
semblage of patriots! Why shouldn't they?
Living is easier to them than telling the
truth. Men who do not hesitate at any
possible perjuries, who guilty conspire
with rebels in arms to overthrow the Un-
ion,-who have reduced treason, practical
and intentional, to an art, and boast OF
their infamy,-why should any one accuse
such fellows of telling the truth when they
can possibly do otherwise? They may rest
assured that every body knows they lie,
and that without ceasing, and none know
| it so well as the Copperheads themselves.
What innocent lambs they are when they
imagine any one believes them!

rs It is said that jeff. Davis promised
Pemberton reinforcements of one hundred
thousand men if he would hold out two
weeks, and that Grant intercepted the arch
traitors dispatch to that effect. We pre-
sumo that these hundred thousand men
must be of "African descent" We really
can't tell where he could get that number
of any other sort. Now, if jeff. should send
any such to fight against Grant, would our
'Constitutionar' Copperheads think it
right or wrong? If they think it would be
right in jeff. to make "catspaw'' of the
'sniggers,' will they tell us why they are
so much offended when we do the same
thing? If they think it wrong in jeff, will
they shoulder their muskets and go and
assist Grant? The hundred thousand mig
GERS do not trouble us much. We really
would like him to gather that number OF
contrabands together with arms in their
hands, and then lead them against Grant

time would be delightful one-to as

IGNoRANT.-The rebels down in D1xle
are very ignorant, as general rule, ana
especially SO when they want to be. Inc
following amusing instance occurred IN the
recent movements in the rear OF Vlcks-
burg. 1t is related by correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Commercial,
On the evening of the 10th we arrived at
Utica, town on the Jackson road, nearly
euui-distant from Jackson and NlckspuIS.
Our advance cavalry had slight sklrmsh
with the rebels at this point. The 9th Mis-
souri,. under Col, Wright, drove force re-
ported to be Writ Adams regiment OF cav "a,
alry. after a very slight engagement. Inc
inhabitants of the town, or those OF them
that remained to witness our arrlval. were
yery uncommunicative, and would give us
no information as to the strength or Where-
abouts of the rebel forces. The following
interrogations, put to one of the Oldest cit
liens of the place, by one OF our oflcers,
and his reply to them will illustrate this

"Don't know, Sir?''
''How far is it to Vicksburg?"
"Well, it's a right smart piece"
'Right smart hell! You have lived here
thirty years, and don't know how far it
is to the nearest city. If you don't answer
my questions, I'll arrest you and put you
under guard"
This brought the old fellow to his senses
a little, and he answered every question
put to him afterward, as to the distance
from point to point, the direction the rebels
had taken, and the number of men en-
gagged against our cavalry.

With officers from the eth and End Iowa,

TRADEGY AT OTTAWA, lila WOMAN
SHOOTS A YOU'VE MAN.-On Wednesday
night last, young man named James
Ryan and two or three associates went to
the house of widow woman, named Abb
bey Dunn. living on LaSalle street, nearly
opposite the Catholic Church, and COM
menced humping at the door, as if trying
to get in. Ryan also went to a window,
which he raised and was about entering,
when Mrs. Dunn fired pistol at random
through the window curtain, the ball ta-
king effect in Ryan's forehead ndkilling
him almost instantly. 1t appears that
Mrs. Dunn had been frequently annoyed
by persons trying to get into the house, and
to protect herself she procured the pistol
with which she shot Ryan. She was liv-
ing alone with her two little children, sup
porting herself and them by sewing, and
those who knew her, represent her as a re-
spectacle character. A Coroner's inquest
wos held on Thursday morning, and on
Friday morning an examination was held
before Justice Leavens, Mrs. Dunn being,
of course, acquitted. 1t is to be hoped
that the lesson of young Ryan's fate will
not be lost upon other fast young men who
are disposed to prowl around nights where
they ought MOTTO be. ...,.

va One Of the Copperhead Journals of
the East proclaims that the virtuous and
patriotic ''vallandigham is now an exile
from his country This is slight mistake.
He is still within the country which was
unfortunate in nurturing the monstrous

into exile. She has merely consigned him
to the Asylum for insane and idiots OF
which JEFF. Davis is keeper. 1t is to be
hoped that the regimen of that institution
will work partial restoration. But such
result is hardly probable.

SOCIAL EQUALITY A war Democrat,
having business on Second Street the 9TH
er day, happened to walk into the back
part of a saloon, and was considerably as
tonished to find two or three distinguished
Copperheads Of this City engaged in play
ing cards and drinking whisky with a like
number of free Americans of African de-
scent! The Copperheads to whom we al
lude have bawled themselves hoarse over
the alleged Abolitionism of c.. c. Cole
and other Democrats as well as Republic
cans; and yet these same Copperhead
worthless are found in social fellowship in
broad daylight with negroes blacker than
the ace of spades! What's up Cops? We
trust that the City authorities will see to 1t
that the Tories shall no longer disgrace the
town by their efforts to establish social
equality among the races! The Republl-
cans who have control of the City Govern
ment will prevent continuance of these
disgracefui scenes in the Capital ofIowa-
State Register.
