EDITOR HAWK-EYE:-De0T Sir, I send
you an extract from a letter received this

crat, but sound on 1.-The Union."i As to the
statement about the l. S. turned upside

''The power of tho State Government
now lies in the hands of the Rebs.

rs Our dispatches of yesterday inform
ed us that the parties arrested in Ohio
few days since for an alleged conspiracy to
release the rebel prisoners in custody. at
Camp Chase and in the Ohio State Peniten-
tiary, have been indicted in the United
States Court, now sitting at Cincinnati.
AS Grand Juries act upon sworn testimo-
ny, and do not usually find indictments
unless upon some credible and tangible
ground, we are justified in the opinion that
there is really something in the charge,
which, upon mere rumor, we would gladly
doubt, Whether the persons arrested and
indicted are really guilty, is question
which another jury will, after hearing all
the evidence, be called upon to decide. 1t
would be uncharitable, perhaps, to assume
their guilt until this further inquiry shall
be decided by the proper tribunal against
them. t.1t
But we refer to the case merely as warn
ing. Some people seem to forget, to a
great degree, their obligations to the gov
eminent under which they live. They not
merely neglect their positive duties to the
country, but, complying with perverse
and insane passion, they engage in acts of
reasonable character without rejecting
on the perilous consequences they may en-
tail. '@.
1t will be as well for all our citizens to
remember that all associations having an
illegal purpose in view, are in these times
both obnoxious and dangerous. Especially
is this true when the purpose is to give aid
to the rebellious traitors. Those who en-
ter into such conspiracies are not safe for a
moment. They may think all is going on
very securely when, in fact, they stand on
the brink of detection and consequent ruin.
The only prudent course is for all men to
avoid any connection with conspirators.-
Do that, and you will avoid all possibility
of evil. If you once step in, you cannot
tell how far you may be seduced into
wrong. Stay out altogether. Remember
that in a reasonable conspiracy all who
join in the purpose are held guilty as prin-
ciples of every act attempted or committed
by any of the conspirators. Your life is at
the mercy of any associate mailman.

SERVED THEM RIGHT.-A few nights o.
60 there was meeting near Haneytowl'
Marshall county, West Virginia, when
was attended by all the Union men OF tnas
place. The meeting broke up about twelve
O'Clock, and when the Union men returned
home they found, to their surprise, that du-
ring their absence the copperheads OF the
village had bored down a fine liberty pore
which had been erected during the sum,
mer. The Union men accordingly divided
into squads, and, marched about the town;
aroused every copperhead in the place ana
compelled them to go to the woods, cut
pole, drag it in to town, and put it up whele
the old one had stood. After this was s
done, the copperheads were requested "
run up the flag and cheer it, which the,
did most Justify, when they were perihl''

IT, The Paris correspondent Of the New
York Commercial Adveytiser says that it is
now more certain than ever that Mexico is
to be abandoned by the French army as
soon as the Archduke Macmillan, or
somebody else, can be induced to under
take the organization of a ''stable govern
ment." This means that Louis Napoleon
has got shot potatoe' in his hand and
will drop it again as soon as he can do SO
without burning himself worse. We guess
that is the fact. But if "somebody-else"
picks it up we think he will find it still
hotter and still less agreeable. The Next
cans will hardly submit to being made the
lackeys of European despots. They bids
their time-and it will come pretty soon.
NS- The Union majority in Warren
county, Illinois, last Tuesday, is stated by
the Monmouth atlas to be 431. That is
doing well. 1t shows what hearty and
united effort will accomplish. We con-
graduate our loyal friends there on their
success. We trust that it will encourage
them TO continue their labors until all who
really love their country shall place them
selves in the ranks where they belong
Henderson and Warren counties have both
done admirably. They will doubtless
maintain their proud position until the
end

Another Union victory.

Minnesota came near being forgotten in
the haste to record the brilliant victories
in other States, the telegraph having taken
no notice Of the election. We now learn
that Stephen Miller, Union candidate for
Governor. is elected by from ten to twelve
thousand majority, and that the Legisla-
ture will be almost unanimous-veryf few
Copperheads having been elected.

ES-The signal success of the Sanitary
FAIR at Chicago, has induced the ladies of
her localities to engage in similar under
taklngs. The ladies' of Indiana have start
ed the project of holding one at Indianap-
oils, partial programme has already
been agreed upon, and we do not doubt
that they will go on with the work and Sc
cure very valuable results. The receipts
at the Chicago Fair were about sixty thou
sand dollars. This, with proportionate re-
ceipts in other States will add greatly to
the comfort of the sick and wounded SOL
diers, and doubtless save to the country
and their friends many valuable lives.

WHO DID IT?-The Ohio papers that late
ly unitedly supported the man "who wait
ed and watched over the border,n are now
quarreling among themselves as to the
cause of their defeat. Part of them wish to
show that they are loyal, always were 10y
al and always mean to be loyal. The En-
luirer OF Cincinnati, and the Crisis, of CO.
lumbus, on the other hand, insist that those
who voted for Vallandigham We're all of his
opinion,-were peace" men,-were in f,-
vor OF submitting to the demands of Davis
and his crew of rebels, and the immediate
dissolution Of the Union, modified with the
hope Of its restoration!
This is a sad condition of affairs for the
so-calle& Democracy. If this contention is
not speedily ended there will be still fur
Their trouble, and the quarrel will grow too
hot to be cured. All this results from the
effort to unite loyal and disloyal men on
the same platform, and in the support of
the same candidates. Those who attempt
this are essentially dishonest and deserve
the scorn Of all loyal people. They mean
to cheat or else they love to be cheated
But the press that advocates the election OF
disloyal men is itself disloyal. It has no
excuse for it's reasonable course. The pa
pers that supported Vallandigham are all
alike guilty. They have no right to find
fault with each other. It is too late for
them to profess innocence. Whatever the
! mass of the voters meant, the men who
printed papers on the side of the Convict
knew what would come if he were elected,
and merit the same execration that he has
got. afG

10 The tenacity with which the leading
kentuckians cling to the peculiar institu-
ton must be surprising to those who have
not studied, through the light of actual OBJ
servation, the nature of its social intiuen-
ces. To those who have done this, there is
nothing astonishing about it,.
Slavery in kentucky means the perpetu-
alton Of q certain family standing, the
maintenance Of social and political intlu-
ences among class, andth utter ignoring
of all equality between this class and those
outside OF it. This class of men from the
very nature Of things, is and must be mar
row-minded. They see plainly that the
destruction of the institution entails the
| overthrow OF their past influence, the
breaking up of their estates, and their own
descent to the common level of ordinary
citizens. They only think of themselves.
They care nothing for the interest of the
State and the great mass Of the citizens
They wish to maintain their position as of
old. They will not look beyond. They
are the mildest and kindest of all the slave
holding race. But they are as determined
to hold fast to the thing as jeff Davis him
self. They have always fixed public opin-
ion on this question and pretty much all
others. They cannot bring themselves to
lay down their power. They stand in the
way ofprogress. They won't see that they
do because they are resolved not to see it.
But the mass of the people are learning
They are getting light, and they are fast
coming to the opinion that the slavehold-
ing class shall rule them no longer.

"GS We don't know whose bushes it is

have been done before this time towards

tricts in our State, and the several counties

Der of volunteers are required from EACH
This has long since been done in other
States, and we can't discover any good rea-
son why it is not done here. Each county,
each city and township, when it is told Just
what it has to do, will probably attempt to
do it. But, so far as we are aware, nobody
has given them this information, and eve
rybody is still iu the dark ..t-.
If the quota of Iowa is to be filled up by
volunteering, there must be a united and
authoritative effort made to accomplish it.
1t will not be done if the proper officials
fold their hands and do nothing but await
the appearance Of individual volunteers.
The time before us is short. Though the
number required is not very large, yet it is
larger than will be furnished unless some
systematic labor be done to forward and
encourage it. AS matters now stand, To-
