CHANGE OF COMMAND IN THE SOUTHWEST
A SPECIAL to the Chicago Tribune from St.
Louis, 10th inst. says:
1t is reported here on first-rate authority,
direct from Washington, that Gen. Grant is
soon to be removed from the command of the
army at Vicksburg. The movement of the
radical Republicans for the removal of the
Conservatives now holding Federal Offices
in Missouri, has assumed proportions which
are almost certain to secure its success.

GUBERNATORIAL.

Uessrs. EdlfoTS:-
Being of the opinion that the Northern
portion Of the State has just claim for the
Gubernatorial candidate, and that good ma.
terial has already been brought forward,
amongst whom is LEWIS A. THOMAS, well
known to many of your readers, being one
of the early residents of Dubuque, for con-
siderable period of time editor of the leading
newspaper of the place, and for number Of
years member of the bar, enjoying a sub
stantial reputation, and at all times standing
prominent as public spirited man. His
fitness for the position will bear criticism
True, he has not the flashy brilliancy that
too often charms for the moment, but in its
stead something stronger and more lasting
than this insiduous influence. We have
been led too much by those who are ever
ready to effervesce en- all occasions where a
political end is to be gained. This class of
men we do not moo seek, nor do we want
those who have made office seeking a bust
ness. Loyalty, Integrity and Capacity are
what We need. Mr.. Thomas has these, and
doubt if more suitable man can be brought
forward, but if so he will be supported by

RIs musician SD Reg. Wis. Vols, aged II years.
Ali is over with poor Asa. The sickening dread OF
the hospital will trouble him His rest is
just as perfect though he he had died in his
mothers arms, ounded by all who loved him; but
the thought that they not with him in his dying
hour adds many thorns to the of the mourners
May He, whose arm we cannet doubt was around Asa,
as he passed through the dark valley bind up their
bruised hearts and heal them with his love.
Soon his earthly work is finished,
Soon the soldier duty done,
Soon beyond all bitter Striviug
Life eternal is begun.
Soon his young ite's dream is ended,
Ended all the weary pain;
Dark and dreary hours OF waiting,
Never shall be his again.
Meier again, with lonely ongings,
Shall his young heart be oppressed;
For through earthly pain and sorrows,
He has passed to heavenly rest.
Never to the morning roll-eall,
Will his voice again respond;
For his feet has crossed deaths river,
To the land of life beyond.
Soon are crushed the hearts that loved him,
Bowed with bitter sorrow low
Sorrow that earth's authenticated
Mourning alone know.
Soon loves golden chain is broken,
One bright link discovered lies;
But it adds another treasure
To the throng in Paradise.

battle at Wauhatchie:
The attack was thorough surprise move

little Of the topography of the ground in the
immediate neighbSrhood We had Just ar.
rived that night and even received orders to
be under arms at daylight Although Gen.
Hooker sent reinforcements, with orders to
press forward and make a junction with Gen.
Geary, at the earliest possible moment, yet
still such reinforcements did not participate
in Gen. Geary's fight. Had the reinforce
ments arrived in time, and still more particu-
| larry had Gen. Rockers orders been literally
| and promptly obeyed, it is not at all improb-
able that we would have captured goodlv
portion of one rebel brigade Three times
the enemy made an attack in boldly charg-
ing on Gearys centre, to try and capture his
artillery, and each time they We're driven
back signally and with heavy loss The fight
ing by our men was of the coolest and BRAY
est character. All attempt to flank our small
force was checked at once. At last the enc

that could walk were taken off the field, the
rest being left behind. One ditch contained
about twenty men and two officers. These
were all shot in line. In all we took about
rs wounded on the field, and in front of our
line found 80 rebel wounded. No small mum
Der Of rebel dead lay still in sight, and were
scattered through the woods to the right and
to the left. We took prisoners from the lst,
