The Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic" State Conven-
ton of Iowa, which commenced its
session at Des Moines on Wednesday
and lasted through the night until
Thursday morning. was a very stormy
affair, as we learn from various sour.
ces. There were two contending fac
tions in the Convention-the Mahoney
tresson-sympathizers, and the War
Democrats. The latter wanted Gen.
futile as the Candidate for Governor,
and the former wanted . regular VAL
landighammer. After . desperate
struggle the Mahouey copperheads
were successful, their candidate-M.
l.. Fisher, of Clayton County-being
finally nominated for Governor. The
rest Of the ticket was made out of the
same Copperhead material, John F.
Duncombe, of Fl. Dodge, one Of the
most notorious seditionists in the State,
being nominated for Lieut.. Governor,
and Charles Mason for Judge Of the
Supreme Court. I
By nominating this ticket, and
adopting the vaIlandigham platform
in their resolutions, the Democratic
party of Iowa stands boldly before the
country as the opponents Of the war
for the Union.

The Indians.

ST. Paul, Mimi, July 7, 1863.
Indian camps are to be seen in Hen.
nep'n county, and small party we're
discovered last Friday, eight miles
from Minneapolis and eighteen from
St. Paul. They have no considerable
force, but, nevertheless, excite great
apprehension, and there is danger Of
another stampede of settles similar to
last year. They did not approach SO
near us during the raid last summer.
Details Of the Indian murders, show
they were attended with the usual
barbarity. In view of these outrages
and the increasing excitement, Adju.
tant General Malmroos has issued an
order. today. calling sixty days vol
unteers TO hunt Indians. They are to
be divided into squads Of not less than
five. and are to operate on their own
hook, each man arming and subsist.
ing himself. They receive 81 so "a
day. General Malmroos also offers o
bounty Of $25, 90 for each scalp OF a
male Sioux, delivered at his office.
Our army is plodding over the plains
where there are no Indians, and this
IS considered necessary to protect the
country in the rear.
Another Indian murder in Wright
county has taken place, and one man
was killed. The Big Woods region
seems to be infested with small bands
ofsavages, and will become entirely de-
populated unless relief comes soon.
Three squads Of infantry and detach.
ment ofcavalry have been sent there,
and the sixty days scouts called for
by the State are rapidly volunteering.
A great effort is being made to exter-
inmate all the savages in the rear Of
Gen. Sibley's force. 4a1f

Port Hudson.

Matters at Port Hudson are pushed
forward with steadiness and energy.
The grand point of the rebel strong
hold, the Citadel" has, through the
agency of seventeen large Parrott
guns. placed by our troops so as to
completely command it, fallen into our
hands. This Citadel ID the extreme
right of the rebel work, and from it
gunboats received most annoyance.
The most vigorous efforts are being
made ell along our line, from right to
left. An attack is momentariaiy ex-
pected. The final conflict is certain
to come very soon- A vigorous BON.
bardment is kept up night and day,
and this is telling wonderfully in our
favor. Already q breach has been
made in the outer wall Of the enemy,
beside the vast carnage created in
side. The few old cattle which the
rebels have been accustomed to drive
in front daily to let IA know they had
meat, are long since exhausted. as

used in the streets, are not of modern

An inferior triumph was called an ova.

The Presidents Attention to Business.
he Washington corresnonden,

The Washington correspondent Of
the Springfield Republican writes:
1t is difficult to say who it is that
commands in this vicinity. Hooker
is SO near that he is in daily consulta.
ton with Halleck, and while it is so
that Hooker commands the so-called
Army of the Potomac" yet Halleck
has an active control of. military
movements in this vicinity. As for
that matter, so has Mr.. Lincoln. He
oversees ererythimg. Those persons
who suppose that he contents him
self with an casy-goiDg, storytelling
life are very much mistaken. He
never takes his breakfast until he has
made visit to the War Office. He
visits the War Department several
times a day, and acquaints himself
fully with everything that is going
on. However it may be with the
other departments, this one is not IN.
dependent Of Mr.. Lincoln. I have
good reasons for believing that the
President does not control either Hal
leck or Hooker, except upon very rare
occasions. but nothing Of Importance
occurs Of . military nature without
his sanction. He is consulted almost
every hour by Mr.. Stanton, by Gen.
Halleck. or by Gen. Hooker, and in
this military business the President
exhibits q good deal OF ability-more,
! sometimes think, than Halleck does"

A Washington dispatch says it is
positively stated by person who de-
rives his Information through channels
not easily accessible, but generally
found to be trustworthy, that the in
vasion of tho North is the work of the
Copperheads or Peace Democrats /;
that an emissary Of this traitorous fac.
ton visited Richmond over month
since, and while there urged JEFF. Da-
Wis to march an army into Pennsylva-
MIA and lay waste her fields and burn
her towns. This, the Copperhead
messenger said. was the only road to
victory for the South. The latter
part Of the suggestion was too barbar.
ous q policy for even JEFF. Davis to
adopt. but, convinced by his visitors
reasoning. of the advantageousness of
invading the North, he ordered Gen.
Lee on his present hazardous cam
paign.

Why is iti

Why is it that the authorities have
made no effort to organize the militia
of Iowa under the militia law enacted
at the special session of the Legisla.
ture. Notwithstanding the univers.
ally acknowledged need of such an or
ganization. nothing has yet been done
to secure it. There may have been
good reason for this long neglect,
though we can't see il, but certainly
there can be no excuse for further de.
lay. Surely the lessons of the Penn.
sylvania invasion will not be suffered
to pass entirely unheeded. See what
New York has done with an organized
militia. in comparison TO Pennsylvs-
MIA without it Suppose Iowa should
be called on next week to aid in repell.
ing an invasion Of Illinois or Missouri,
what could we do? Why is it that
this all important matter continues to
be neglected. Will somebody tell |?
