~. Five persons were killed and twelve
wounded in riot at Hyde Park, st. Louis,
on the 4th. The difficulty was commenced
by number of paroled soldiers, who had
been incensed by swindling practiced in re-
lation to reserved seats for spectators and in
advertising balloon ascension with horse
attached, which did not take place. They at
tackled the bar-keeper, completely cutting his
establishment. The police, who interfered,
were savagely assaulted, and the melee grad
ually became extended all over the grounds,
much to the terror of the numerous women
and children who were present. A squad Of
soldiers next appeared upon the scene, firing
their muskets and using their bayonets ap-
parently without any discrimination. Some
of the victims were inofftnsive persons, in
cluding woman, who was wounded. The
affair is being investigated by the military
authorities. Whisky, as usual, was at the
bottom of it. -...t........- go

assaults Of domestic enemies The world ap.
plauded the heroic struggle of the Fathers OF
the Republic; let us not prove ourselves to
be degenerate sons 44 " Il enf
Fellow citizens Of the Northwest, if we look
to the other nations of the earth, we will find
several at this time participating in the
great carnival Of blood. History seems to be
lending plausibility to the theory advanced
by some, that war is the normal condition of
man. Let us however, pursue war only as
the most direct channel to peace. Amid the
din Of strife within our own borders, we can
still hear and respond to the cry of famine in
England and Ireland, and individually, as
Americans, we cannot turn a deaf ear to the
voice of struggling liberty in the land of
Kosciusko.
There are lessons to us in the battle-cry re-
sounding now from the Carpathian Hills and
in the wailings that come up out of the City
of the Montezumas, as we'll as the nearer ap-
proach to our own doors of the tramp of SOL
dery and the clash of arms. Who can read
the crimsoned record of Poland and Mexico,
for generations past, without deriving there
from a salutary admonition, neuer to consent
to a dismem6er'uent of this Union! Who
can ponder upon their intestine strifes, the
divisions of their territory and government,
the prey they have become to the ambition
and rapacity of neighboring and distant mon
arches, without an involuntary shudder at
the parallel suggested of our own beloved
Republic, thus dismembered, and bleeding at
the feet Of foreign despots. b....
Let no man, proud Of the title Of an Amer
ican citizen, entertain for an instant the idea
of the disunion Of these States, except as
fraught with incalculable evil in the extinction
Of our proud nationality, and in establishing
among us the enduring reign of the Moloch
of War, &C. % $751;"

THAT Crowd! The Des Moines Register
says the Copperheads in attendance at the
State Convention appeared in procession on
the streets, and by careful estimates they
numbered sixteen hundred in all-men, wo-
men and children So much for the Courier's
$4,000 to 10000"
Speaking of the animus of the procession,
the Register remarks:
"No cheer was raised by the Copperheads
for the gallant army Of the Potomac. Not q
cheer for the. fall Of jVicksburg was echoed
along the streets. No word of applause was
heard for the brave soldiers. who have periled
limb and life to roll back the tide of Re.
bellion! There soers cheers, however, for
Vallandigham! There pere cheers for Geo.
W. Jones and Mahony There aDere cheers
for the head devils Of the Rebellion Sup.
pose that the procession cheering for Val.

the streets Of Vicksburg Immediately after its
occupancy by the troops from Iowa. Imagine
the result if you please. The killed, wound
ed and missing of that crowd would have
amounted to about ,l60Qp' o, .-.f -.o. ,s.r

Vicksburg was the first city that
echoed to the sound of hostile cannon in this
rebellion. Three months before the attack
on Sumter, and four days after the formal
secession of the State of Mississippi, on JAN
uary 9th, 1861, (the first to follow South
Carolina,) a frantic and crazy crew Of artil-
lerists, calling themselves the Quitman Bat
terry, planted their field pieces on the bluff at
Vicksburg, and on Tuesday, the 18th,
brought to the first river steamer, the A. o.
Tyler: She has has, by the way, in very pretty >
Federal gunboat, and has avenged herself
nobly on the rebels. At that time was just
established the blockade on peaceful travel
on the Mississippi. Established, too, when
yet all the States bordering on the river, ex.
cept the State of Mississippi, were yet in the
Union. The act should have due prominence
lin the history Of the rebellion. ~ by

Col. Stone.

: Our gallant standard bearer has resolved
to remain with his regiment in the field, not
withstanding numerous solicitations to visit
various parts of the State and talk with the
people on the exciting questions of the day
We trust that his friends throughout the
State will see that he looses nothing by thus
sacrificing his personal interests for the pub
lie good. Such patriotic zeal is rarely to be
met with in the politician. Col. Stones mo-
tives IN entering the service of his country
were of the purest kind, and the honors and
emoluments Of the highest Office in the gift
of his fellow citizens will not tempt him now
to desert his post before he can be spared
from it without injury to the sacred cause in
which he is engaged.
The following letter, setting forth his pur-
pose to forego an active political campaign, is
published in the State Register: -a
rgt KEoKuK, Iowa, July 8, 1868.
DEAR SIR Your letter has been received.
| am also in receipt of numerous letters from
my friends in different parts Of the State,
making inquiries in regard to the approach
ing political canvass, and desiring me to visit
their counties and address public meetings,
desire you to inform our friends through
out the State, that am now on my way to
Vicksburg, where expect to remain until
my regiment, now much reduced, is relieved
from active duties in the field, and can be
spared from it without detriment to the public
service. 1t is but just to say that, in accept
ing the nomination at Des Moines, there was
no understanding or agreement, on my part
at least, that should resign my commission
in the army before the election, and engage
in the political canvass of the State. Indeed,
l should not have accepted the honor, so
generously rendered me, upon any such
terms. The noble men with whom have
served so long in the field, have higher
claim upon my services, than any political
friends in the State; and yielding to what
conceive to be an imperative public duty,
shall remain with them as long as my pres
ence there may be needed. So far as | am
personally concerned, feel but little solic-
itude as to the result Of the coming election.
If had preferred civil Office to the hardships
and perls of the soldiers life, / should have
remained where was at the commencement
of the war.
Should the people Of Iowa in their SOW
ereign capacity choose me for their Chief
Magistrate, will accept the trust, and en-
deavor faithfully to discharge it. If other
wise, shall cheerfully abide by their will,
and remain with my comrades in the field, if
life and health are spared me, until the prob
lem of this war is solved. Entertaining
firm confidence in the fidelity and patriotism
of our people, commit to them the vital
cause, of which am nov an honorable rep
resentative, with the same reliance that |
would our glorious flag to those who have
borne it so triumphanty over the battle-felds
of the West. .-....
Very respectfully, your ob't servant,

The Late Battles i'm Pennsylvania.
Our large city exchanges come to US filled
with long and interesting accounts of Gen.
Meade's victory over Lee in Pennsylvania
We would like to publish some one of the nu-
merous graphic detailed statements of the
sanguinary encounter at Gettysburg, but our
paper being small, its province is to sketch
the outlines of the great panorama Of excit-
ing events now passing before the public
The minor details, the filling in, and the lights
and shades of the picture, must necessarily
be left to those who have more time and op-
portunity for the work.
The following epitome, however, which we
| find in cotemporary, will give our readers a
better idea of recent events at Gettysburg
than they have had through our telegraphic
columns:
The battle occupied three days. Six hours
| preliminary engagement on Wednesday, a
feeling of the forces opposed, skirmishing
sufficiently sharp to call out the full energy
of both commanders in massing their men,
in chosing positions, and drawing up their
battle lines Thursday saw the rebel assault
upon Meade. Four hours the battle ragged on
that day. Friday witnessed the grand final
struggle, lasting thirteen hours, or from early
dawn until nightfall, this last being the most
momentous and thoroughly decisive part of
the battle, which in the three days of its
pending occupied twenty-three hours. On
Friday it began at daylight All along our
right and center artillery played and musket-
ry crashed with fury and determination
that were witness to the daring and courage
of our foe, and still more brightly attesting
the heroism of our troops that resisted, bore
back and cut to pieces the enemy, and from
that days field sent his broken columns fly.
ing southwark, distressed, harassed and
thoroughly routed.
The enemy was pushed-now was the time
for action. Webb's brigade, without waiting
for orders, dashed into the flying mass, and
came back with eight hundred prisoners
Stannard's brigade of nine months Green
Mountain boys, their uniforms clean and new,
improved the opportunity, and took as many
more. The Massachusetts 10Th, reduced to
two score of men, rushed into the melee, and
came back with four stand of colors. Halls
brigade, including the 10th and Goth Massa-
chusetts, the 7th Michigan, and Pennsylva-
MIA regiment captured II colors. When the
fight was most terrific, Col. Hall, command
ing the brigade, ordered the color bearer Of
the 18th Massachusetts to advance upon. the
enemy alone. 1t was like an electric impulse
1t thrilled the entire line. Men forgot that
they were on the defensive, and without an
order from commanding officer, the lines as
If bent on one common purpose, surged ahead
Thousands of bayonets flashed in the beams
of the setting sun. Then came wild hur.
rah, and the mass Of rebels melted away over
! the plain. N. H.
