Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tffbune.1
DEs Morszs, Iowa, July ~, 1861
a great scare has ta11en upon the Copper
heads, AID jog proportionate has visited the
loyal 1ncu Of Iowa, at the deseeut of the
threatened blow nron our home traitors, for
nhom such an event has been for some time
past preparing. During Its late session In
this city, the Grand Jury Of the United States
Circuit Court, before whom the matter was
brought By our energetic United States Dis
triet Attorney. found numerous indictments
ngai1et our homo traitors under the late law
Of congrtss covering such cases. They had
formed associations pledged to resist the
d;alt. They hid become blatant in their dis
loyalty, and open In their defiance Of the Coy
eminent. Il coon transpired TINT the Court
had 1hiA fling In hand, though nothing WAS
known outside, as to who were to be the pr
ties principally interested.
This made the Coppe,lleads bolder than
ever, to judge from their increased yehemcnce
In tone, thongh 1t Is more than suspected
they we're "wAistling aloud to Keep their
courage up" like the schoo1boy in the grave
yard. They asserted that 1t would be death
for any Federal officer to 60 down into the
IL lfectcd districts aud arrest these men. They
sapored, and threatened until even loyal men
began to dread the event, and deprccate such
causes Of irritation. Well the thing is oYcr,
and nobody hurt, Somebody would hare
been hurt had any obstacle been offered to the
process.

rived here, having in custody the following

Sworn to stand by them, and Marshal Hoxle
