Mr.. HARTMAN, editor of the Waterloo
Courier, has returned home from his eastern
visit, and his paper is again on the Union
track. In the last issue appears the follow
ing article entitled Explanatory"
1t is due our friends as we'll as the public
inlgeneral, to give them an explanation of the
mysterious manner in which the Courier has
been conducted politically within few weeks
past. On the 9th of August last we left
our home in Waterloo for visit among our
friends in the East. Before departing We en-
gagged person to attend to the editorial de-
partment of this paper, in whom we had un-
waverod confidence as to his political opin.
ions. But on our arrival at this place we
found "matters and things" in decidedly
mired condition. Instead of coming out fat
footed for the Republican Union nominees,
as requested by us, he barely mentioned their
nomination, while the Democratic candidates
received all the consolation imaginable!
We not only feel afflicted at this outrage, but
are heartily ashamed of it. 1t is too late to
repair the matter now, but our patrons may
rest assured that hereafter, so lsng as we own
the Courier Office, there will be no other but
staunch Republican Union paper published.
Friend Hartman announces that in a
few weeks the Courier will be enlarged. We
nclesglad to note this, especially as it is the
,EpIk of rapid increase of subscription and
y Whining patronage.

THEGAZETTE.
UNION SLOGANS.

Sufficient returns have been received to
show large Union gains in the respective
States that held elections this week From
the old Keystone's ircn.ribbed mountains,
across the noble Buckeye State, to the fertile
plains Of our own, there rolls up Union
chorus that will carry dismay to the hearts
Of Southern traitors and their Northern CO.
adjutors. Valandigham waits across the
border" but to learn that Ohio repudiates
him by one hundred thousand majority
These clarion outbursts Of patriotic zeal
ringing out clear and loud from the Atlantic
to the Mississippi, proclaim in thunder tones
that the Union Of these States must be pre-
served, one and indivisible,-that the old flag
must still float the emblem of one nationality
from the st. Lawrence to the Gulf,--that
aught that has tendency to foster rebellion
must be put down O. 's.l~rer cost Of treas
ure and blood, and ssxy ythe Eternal"
the people will stand by the Government in
its efforts to preserve the Union, till the last
traitor shall lay down his arms and renew
his fealty to the laws Of our common country.
The notes Of these peaceful Northern victo-
ries Of ours will fall upon the ears of our
brave soldicry like song Of gladness. 1t
will convince them more than mere words
could ever do, that orr hearts arc with them
and for them in the stern and fearful duties
they are called on to perform. They will
now work with renewed vigor, their hearts
inspired and their arms strengthened by the
knowledge that we will gladden. at their vic.
tories and sadden at their reverses,-that our
aims, our hopes, and our cause is one. This
vindication of the Administration at the bal
lot box will also overthrow the last fond hope
of the waning Confederacy-that of divid.
ed North. 1t will convince the leaders of
the rebellion that their Northern friends are
too feeble to afford them material aid, and
that the great mass Of the people are deter
mined never TO relinquish the fight till trea-
son is put down, the traitors punished, and
the majesty Of our outraged laws triumph
antly indicated. These are but portion Of
the good results that will spring from these
October elections. Treason has met with
stern rebuff, and traitors are crestfallen; the
right has triumphed, and patriots rejoice
catching glimpse Of that bright day when
peace shall again shed her benign rays over
our now distracted country-overa land puri-
fed in the fiery baptism Of civil war through
which it has passed.

NEW NATIONAL BANKS.

Already are numerous banks being organ
lied over the country in conformity with the
new National Bank Law recommended by
Secretary Chase and adopted by Congress.
The work Of engraving and printing the cur
rency is now being pushed forward rapidly.
and the notes will soon be ready for distribu-
ton. The following are few Of the rea-
sons why the people will generally demand
the adoption of this system, and every local.
ity of much importance have its National
Bank
LIST. It will give the people uniform cur
Tency--as it is designed in furnishing banks,
to. have the bills of each denomination exactly
alike
ID. The engraving and entire workman
ship Of the bills will be in the very highest
style Of the art, and consequently tho bust
ness Of counterfeiting will be, practically
ended.
Sd. Every bill issued by every bank-no
matter where locatcd-will command the en-
tire confidence Of the community from one
end Of the nation to the other, and pass cur
rent at all times, without question.
4th. Each bank will have as basis for its
circulation and as unquestionable protection
to the public, precisely the same security
viz. Government stocks.
9Th. The faith of the whole nation-not Of
single Statc--will be pledged for the re.
demption Of such circulation, and therefore
twill be preferred and sought after in all
business circles.
9th. Such currency would be used as a
medium of exchange from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and would save the country millions
Of dollars annually now paid to brokers and
shavers.
7th. No jealousy or opposition could or
would exist between the banks, in time Of
psnic, on account of their relative solvency or
safety. A small institution in Kansas would
hold up its head as high as the proudest cor.
poration in the city of New York.
9Th. One Of the strongest arguments in ia.
vor of the National Banking system, is the
great strength it will give to the Government,
by creating in all quarters, city and country,
demand for United States securities-fur-
nishing perfect market for at least two or
three hundred millions.
9th. All these National Banks, when es-
tablished, may safely be used as Government
repositories under the Internal Revenue law
ard also where there is no Sub. Treasury for
the safe keeping Of custom house receipts,
postage money, etc.

FROM FORT SCOTT.

The St. Louis Democrats Leavenwerth
special gives the particulars of the attack up
on Gen. Blunt and escort below Fort Scott.
He was attacked by three hundred rebels in
Federal uniform, near the encampment of
Lieut.. Pond. His escort broke, and out of
one hundred men seventy eight men were
killcd-all shot through the head, evidently
after they were captured. Major Curtis, son
of Gen. Curtis. was thrown from his horse
and found with bullet hole through his
head, undoubtedly murdered after being ia
ken prisoner. Lieut.. Ponds camp was at
tackled about the same time, and four of his
men killed, and three wounded. Blunt es-
capped, and meeting reinforcements below Fl.
Scott, took command, then started in pur-
suit Of Quantrell.

A CURIOUS THEORY OF THE DURATION OF
THE Waffle Rev. John Gilbert of CLAY
county Kentucky, writes to friend in Frank.
fort, giving curious theory with regard ia
the duration of the present war. In his let.
ter he says:
During the Revolutionary War Corn
blades had ssren points to them, that is, the
blade grew in such manner as to have seven
distinct points or ends corresponding with
the sharp point of the blade. These seven
points indicated the duration of the Revolu.
tionary War. Now there are but three scpa-
rate and distinct points to many of the blades
and this indicates, very clearly to my mind,
that the duration Of the present war will be
three years-the points of the blades repre-.
senting years."

ARREST OF pROF. JAMES DALE OwpN

ARREST OF PROF JAMES DALE Ow.N.-This
precious scamp who lately figured so extern
sively in this State, numbering among his
dupes all classes of society, from the Cover
nor down to romantic young misses, has at
last reached the end Of his rope. After leav-
ing Davenport he favored various towns in
Illinois with his presence, introducing him.
self to the clergy, doctors, and other lights
of the community, selling his books, and
picking pockets by way of recreation. He
finally turned up in town where lived sub.
scriber to the Dubuque Daily Times, and the
Prof had no sooner commenced operations
than he was arrested, and Geographic dis
patch sent to Sheriff Cummings, informing
him Of the fact, and asking if the people of
Dubuque had any claims on the gentleman.
The Sheriff Immediately replied, informing
the officer at Ashley, the place Of the Prof S
arrest,-to hold the scamp, and that he would
come and take charge of the illustr:ous gcol-
ogist forthwith. Thus Professor James Dale
Owen, of the Smithsonian Institute, Wash
ington, is played out" ard will probably
get the reward he has fairly earned by his
unparalleled audacity and barefaced villainy.

DISASTER IN LOUISIANA.

The New Orleans correspondent of the N.
York Herald gives the following particulars
Of the engagement near the Atchafalaya:
Owing to the illness of Gen. Heron, that
officer has received leave of absence, and
Major Gen. Dana has been appointed to the
command. This change occurred about a
week ago. As the enemy was found to be
in great strength and good position on the
opposite side Of the Atchafalya, the CON-
,nanding General thought it advisable to
throw up entrenchments, and while the larg-
er portion OF the troops were fortifying the
levee, Lieut.. Col. Leake, of tho goth Iowa,
was ordered to proceed some five or six miles
in advance. He was accompanied by a DOR.
ton of the 10th Iowa, 26th Indiana, together
with $50 cavalry and section of artillery.
Early on Wednesday morning the whole
force Of the enemy, consisting o: three brig
AIDES, succeeded in quietly crossing the Atch.
afalya, and passing between the main body
OF Col. Leake's command, completely out.
Ranking and cutting it off before the move
ment was discovered. Col. Leake drew up
his men in line of battle and calamity pre-.
pared to give the advancing foe a warm re-
ception. A sharp fight for nearly half an
hour occurred in which our troops fought
brayely against empowering numbers, but
Mt the end of that time they were compelled
to surrender, the enemy having almost en-
tirely surrounded them. With the exception
of the cavalry, the whole were taken prison
ers and the guns were captured. The former
consisting OF attachments from the 9th, seth
and 1st Illinois regiments, succeeded in max.
ing their escape. The prisoners, officers and
priyates, numbered $50. We captured a
Lieutenant, Colonel and twelve men.
Major General Dana advanced with his
whole force as soon as possible, and our last
adyices state that the enemy was in full re.
treat they having fallen back five miles as
soon as they saw the division advancing to.
wards them.
1t this is true, the tables will DO turned
upon them, as they are between the Mississ.
ippi and Atchafayla rivers, and to escape
over the latter they will be compelled to leave
their prisoners and artillery behind them.
