4 THs SMALL CHANGE.-There is a prevail.
ing disposition among small dealers. indeed,
among business men generally, to repudiate
all the small postal currency that have pieces
t,rn off of them, or have been torn ard mend
ed. They i'm 'gine that such notes will not
be redeemed by the Secretary of the Treasu-
~. They are in error A Treasury order,
issued sometime since, did substantially an
nouuce tina, such notes would be rejected,
but more recent trea .ury announcement
has been made. and to the effect thai all such
notes aoin be redeemed, providing one-fifth
Of a note be not missing. and that it b, appa.
re't that mendrd note has been repaired by
piece torn from ITSELF and is not made up
OF pieces from two or more different notes.
Tn re IS n" excnsa, therefore. for refusing to
accept, in trade, notes that are slightly rag
sed or have been honestly repaired They
are; as valuable as notes perfectly new, and
viii as readily find, when the time com s, a
just red tmptinn. By and by we shall expect
t. see the brokers advertis, their willingness
to purchase these satt~red notes at a discount,
because tn y know they win obtain new ones
for them from the Treasury, hut why shonld
the poor, who would be tie ultimate victims
in such case, submit to such exactionp Let
them be warned in time, aud act accordingly.

The Issue Well Defined.

Once more we say it is all or nothing. This
Confederacy or the Yankee nation, one or the
other, goes downtown to perdition. That
is to say, one or TIE other must forfeit it's
national existence and lie at the feet Of its
mortal enemy. - Richnl0nd E.c iDa'nsr.
With the South, this war against the Con-
stitut;on and Union built upon the self
evident truths of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, is war for independence and the
erection of an empire having for its chief
corner stone the atrocious system of human
slavery. This tue South must and will have
or it will have nothing. No peace, no COM
promise, will be listened to that does not
concede their entire independence from the
free millions of the North. Unless the South
can succeed in this rebellion, perdition is their
next choice. Remarkable, ords: 'th;s Con-
federacy or the Yankee nation, one or the
other, goes downtown to perdition
when uttered by the organ of The Davis Con-
federacy should be weighed by every lover Of
his country TO the American people, who
still retain some veneration for the sacrifices
of their Fathers, whose blood cemented the
Union, the existence of which is now threat
ened, we commend the rebel definition Of the
issue in this contest We who believe in the
unity, strength and prosperity of the Ameri.
can Republic-who regard the Constitution
as the palladium of our rights and liberties
who believe that from the pine forests of
Maine to the golden sands Of California, there
should be but one Nation, one Constitution,
equal laws and univ. rsal freedom. 1t is le
for US to say whether, in this struggle, the
Southern Confederacy or the Yankee Nation
shall 90 down. Which shall triumph Are
there no glorious memories of the past, no
tolls, no blood, no lives to attest the value of
the Yankee Nation? The issue is pre-
sented-we must conquer the Confederacy in
the name and spirit of the Yankee Nalion, OF
it will conquer US. The Dec aration of Inde-
pendence must be handed to our posterity as
it was, by our sires, to US, with all its hal
lowed memories, or its great light will go out
in the blackness of slavery, amid the clank-
ing Of chains and letters. The Constitution
must be preserved by us or it will be tralnpled
under the feet of our Confed' rate enemies.
'"The Coufederacy or the Yankee Nation
must 60 downtown to perdi,ion." We
accept the issue, and the people have accept
ed it at the polls and have overwhelmingly
said, "Let the Yankee Nation live and -four
ish, but let the Confederacy built upon the
traffic in human blood and immortal souls be
buried in the untathomable depths Of perdi-
ton, and Let the waves cover all who have
given 1t aid and comfort"

E Nathan Gaski:l, Esq. of the Ssh
regiment, and who was taken prisoner during
the second attack on jackson. called on US
last week. He let Richmond about fur
weeks ago. on parole, and now looks hale and
hearty. He gives woefnl account of our
brave soldiers who are confined in Iebsl pris-
ons. He says that all the blankets, coats and
boots and shoes, and sometimes everything
but their drawers aid undershirts were taken
from them, ard in this condition they were
in an open field and exposed to all kinds of
weather. In addition to this, they were put
on abnut quarter rations, and when our boys
we're detected i" buying eatables that were
smuggled through the guard, the whole camp
of sod ers were ordered out and marched
back in single file, and each man stripped
and robbed Of every cent Of Toney found on
his person. Mr.. G. says some Of the boys
concealed their money and th- rehs di | not
let it, but they were soon subjected to an
other ,verhaulng." This is the kind Of
treatment our brave ard valiant .oldi Rs re-
ceive at the hands Of the eb-ls-no co tent
with starving them to death, but must make
death dou:ly lure by depriviag them Of eve.
rything they possess i,pto" Adrsrtissr.

Better Pay for Private Soldiers.

Better Pay for Private Soldiers.
rI MUsCArlNE, Nov. 5, 1868.
EDITOR JOURNAL: 1t appears the country
needs, and must have more soldiers. This
being true. President Lincoln has issued
his proclamation, calling for another install
nent.
Will this call be needed ard the men be
forthcoming? When the first gun was fired
at Sumter, the people rushed from every
town and neighborhood to take up arms In
defence Of the country and its imperiled gov
ernment but that day of enthusiasm is pass
ed never to return during the present war;
The people have resumed their var GUS occu-
rations and are quite cont mt to do pros
porous business, ven in time Of civil war;
Mrn who are thus situated are not anxious
or even willing to change their 81 uation for
one which .tfers no inducements in dolla 8
and cents, even for the sake of patriotism !;
nor is 1t their duty to do so, for if The labor
er is worthy o. his hire" the soldier IS wor.
thy of and shoul receive suitable compsn
sation for services rem Tered. As long as the
Government can pay fat salaries 10 the off,
GERS there is no excuse nor reason why the
bone and sinew of the country. a. VIC ! as the
army, should no: be well paid 1t is true a
liberal bounty is off,red but that il not suf-
icient, and it will be found necessary as well
as just to increase the regular pay Of the
soldier five dolla' s or more per month, or the
Govern aren't will fail to fill the rank and file
Of the my with good soldiers. The men
who will go for goo pay are the men who
would do good service, therefore it is good
policy for the Governm mt to make the diff
ference less between the officers and soldiers
pay, even if the form r has to be im:nished,
which neither recommend nor object to al
present. The prompt enlistment Of good SOL
dierS to fill the last Call of the President, in
my opinion, depends Oh inc easi g the month
ly wag OF soldiers in addition to the boun-
ty offered.
The people have found that business and
war can not be prosecuted at the same time,
and the Government will have to make war
business pay soldiers, or else be two years or
more in closing out the rebellion instead Of
one. A word to the wise is sufficient.

FALL OF A BRIDGE BY THE WErGHT OF A
Drove OF CArTLE.-On Saturday, 31st, ahle
Mr.. McGo,ister was driving 40 OF so head OF
cattle across the new free bridge over the
Iowa river at Iowa City one span of it gave
way, precipitating the cattle 20 or 80 feet to
shallow water in the stream. Several were
killed at once and others so badly injured that
they had to be killed. The number lost was
seventeen. One man, a Mr. Constantine, also
went down with the falling mass and had an
arm broken. The Republican says 1t is for
tunate the accident was no worse, aad also
fortunate that the Folsom bridge is sill stand
ing. The free bridge will probably not be
rebuilt till spring.
