MILITARY ISsUBoRDINATIoN. - Our
country is now in the midst of .
great civil war which is deluging our land
with gore. We are fighting the greatest
battles ever fought on this continent for
the restoration Of our once glorious Union.
The eyes of the whole world are fixed in
attention upon us. One, the largest por-
ton of it, is gazing with contempt, jeai-
ousy and envy-the other portion with
hope. confidence and affection. Every

MusIc.-We were favored last evening
by beautiful serenade at our Office by
Prof. Hirt's splendid band. That they
can produce "soul stirring" music is a
fact we'll known in our city, and the fact
was demonstrated to certainty last eve
ming, as our eompositors can testify the
devil, too, said it was "bully." Call
around again, gentlemen.

THE Losr FOUND Our readers will
recollect an account we gave some time
ago of a young lady from Illinois, who
came to this city on visit, and was not
heard from after the evening of her arri-
val here. Her parents were in great anx- :
iety concerning her, and her father was
here in our city in search of the lost one,
but after remaining here several days and
learning nothing as to her whereabouts,
and thinking she had been led to commit
some rash act and terminate her existence.
returned home, giving her up for last.
Last week her relatives in this city
were very much surprised to receive o
letter from her, post-marked Memphis,
Tenn, and to-day they received letter
from her parents saying that she had re-
turned home. 1t appears that after a
careful inquiry in the hospitals here, she
ascertained that her s'brave soldier bow"
had gone to st. Louis along with num-
Der of others few days before, aud thith-
er she determined TO follow him, and did.
After her arrival at st. Louis she, bv
some means found out, and much to her
chsgrin, that he had gone on down the
river, and she followed him to Memphis.
and not finding him there "gave up the
chase"
Through the kindness of one ofthe Of
fcers there she was furnished with money
aud started on her way home rejoicing,
where she arrived few days since. Thus
ends the somewhat tragieal affair.

A MIsHAp Yesterday as they were

ANNALS OF IowA.-We have received
the October number of "The Annals of
the State Historical Society of Iowa. -
This is quarterly Magazine and the
October number completes the YEAR of
1868. The next number will be issued
in January, when it will contains more
pages. This is very interesting maga-
zine to all the citizens of our State, for in
addition to past historical matters the in
cidents of war detailed and the trophies
described cannot but commend it to
them.

A MoVE IN TIE RIGHT DIREcrIoS.-
We learn from the Davenport Democrat
that "an effort is being made to procure an
order from the Secretary of War direct
ing that the clothing necessary for
Iowa troops be manufactured in this State
as was done last year, greatly to the assis-
tance of the wives of many Of the Iowa
soldiers. This motion will receive the
hearty approval and co operation of every
citizen. 1t is due to our State, that has
furnished SO many men, that this very
reasonable request be granted. In the
principal towns Of the State there are nu-
merous families Of soldiers who would be
greatly benefited by being provided with
work through this means.

RETALIATION Through another of those
high handed operations of Gen Burnside
for which his reign in the Department of
Ohio has been so marked, the Governs
ment has got into an unpleasant muss
with the ''Confederacy' on the subject of
retaliation. Two officers of the confede-
rate government were caught in Kentucky
recruiting for the rebel army General
Burnside ordered them to be hung. The
coaiederates thereupon selected two off.
GERS OF the federal army, corfined i'm the
Libby prison at Richmond, and threaten
to hang them in retaliation. Thereupon
the federal government selected two rebel
officers, and threatens to hang them if the
federal officers are hung. And so the
business threatens to 60 on indefinitely.
The federals have the advantage in the
matter by having more rebel officers in
their possession than the confederates
have federals But this may not always
be the case besides, the misfortune of
the business is, that the federals are in the
wrong. The Confederacv has always
claimed Kentucky, and certainly has as
good rsgM to claim that state as South
Carolina or any other. IT al. rebel officers
caught recruiting for their army in states
which they claim are to be hung, then, by
the law OF retaliation, they have right to
hang all federal officers found recruiting
In any of the Southern state! The. blun~

War Platform,

The following War Platform for the re-
storation of the Union passed the Congress
Of the United States July 20, 1861 by near
ly unanimous vote:
a. Resolred, That the presen. de plorable
civil war has been forced upon the country
by the disunioaists of the southern States
now in revolt agains, the constitutional
Government ard in arms around the cap
Ital; that in this national emergency
Congress, banishins all feelings OF mere
passion or resentment, Will recollct only
rs duty to the whole country that this
war Is not prosecuted on our part in any
spirit Of oppression, nor for the purpose OF
conquest or subjugation, nor for the pur-
pose OF orerthrow:ng or interfering with
the rights or established institutions of
those States but TO defend and maintain
the supremacy Of the Constitution and all
laws made in pursuance thereof and TO
preserve the Union, with all the dignity,
equality and rights of the several States
unimpaired, that a soon a these objects
are accomplished the war ought TO cease
This was the object OF the war by the
expressed sentiment Of the United States
Congress in 1851, and all true Union men
stand on the same platform to-day.

there has been no disturbance. The draft,
which was suspended only by the irlpos-
sibilIty of its execution, is to be resumed
As soon as the destroyed lists can be re
stored. The Government, it is said, will
have over 10000 troops in the city to
maintain order when the draft recommen-
ces. 10 new outbreak, however, is appre-
hended The action of the city govern
ment, in proposing to pay the $500 for all
such of the drafted as are unable to pay
the sum themselves, has removed the main
cause of the trouble. Doubtless a major
ity of those engaged in the riots were pro
iessioual murderers and thieves, whose
main object was plumber. No arrangement
with reference to the draft would quiet
these if there was any chance to create
new trouble; but the police know these,
and with a small military force can man
age them without difficulty.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1863-07-25

There is surely brazen effrontry about
the holy horror of mobs lately so conspic.
uous in abolition newspapers, that one is
almost led to fear some new and terrible
outrage is meditated in the name of the
supremacy of the law For thirty years
past, there has scarcely been mob the
origin of which could not be traced to
abolition or New England bigotry. Boston
was disgraced by the Burns mob, Syracuse
by the Jerry rescue mob, the Western
Reserve, in Ohio, was disgraced by dozen
of MODS, and it was notorious that certain
laws of Congress could never be enforced
in that region The same fell spirit was
exhibited in this city, and "shoved its
hand IN Chicago and a hundred other
cite S, not only in fugitive slave, but in
anti foreigner and anti-catholic riots
Massachusetts,. Michigan, Iowa, and other
abolition States went so faa as to pass laws
openly designed to encourage mob resist
auce to the execution OF certain laws of
Congress. Satan preaching repentance
would scarcely exceed in impudeuce the
present abolition howl for law and
order"
