The Republican arnion Ticket.

The Republican Union Ticket.
We place at the head OF our columns
to-day the Republican Union ticket,
which should be supported BY every
true Union man in the State. Iii fac.
no Union man can support any other.
This ticket, and the one to be formed
by the Copperheads, in few days, arc
The only ones, probably, that will be il
the 6e!l, so that it will be Il direct issue
between the Union men and the Cop
perheads Now reader make your
choice and say whether you will vote,
at the coming election, for candidates
that are heart and soul for the suppress
sion OF this rebellion by subduing the
instigatoTs and their supporters, or
whether you will support the nominees
Of that party whose sympathics ere Ill
with the rebel. in arms, and who d, sire
their success, no matter what their pre-.
tensions may be.
Col. stnnc orr candidate for Cover
nor is man who has been well tried.
He was elected to the ,Jndgcship OF the
9th Judicial District BY majority far
in advance Of other candidates on His
own party ticket While in that office
he discharged the duties so ably, tia,
bis popularity increased almost incre-
dihls.
When the tocsin Of war was sounded
he was one OF the first to leave com
Portable home and a lucrative business
to obey tie calls Of his country.
H. He entered the service rs Captain OF
company 3, Of tie Sd Iowa Infantry.
From this position lie was soon elevated
to. Msjor. While holding this office he
was wounded and taken prisoner At the
battle 81 Shiloh, and taken to Libey pri.
son at Richmond, where he VAS con
fined for some length Of time lie was
tirally exchanged and released After
his release he was made Colonel of tie
2end Iowa Infantry. Again he was
wounded, this time, while leading his
men bravely up to tho attack Of the
encm, : works in the vicinity Of Nicks-
burg. And now while home to recover
from lis last wounds, he receives, as a
reward Of bis gallantry the highest gift
Of honor in the hands Of the Union party
and We believe it will result in the
highest gift # honor il the power of,he
State to grant.
Enocl. W. Eastman our candidate
for Lieut.. Governor, is q resident Of
Hardin County, was once a Democrat,
but left that party some time since,
when il became so cnamored ofslavery.
lie is strong Union man and com
mands much influence in the part Of the
State where he resides.
Judge Dillon Of Davenport our can.
aidate for Judge Of the Supreme Court.
is acknowledged by all to be one Of the
very best jnrists in the State. No better
selection could possibly ave been made
Every one seemed to point their finger
at him as the man to be our next candi.
date for that office He is 4 man Of
unusal ability, and must. be elected.
Yes lie will end so will the whole ticket.
Come yc Copperheads, tr,t out your
copperbot,omcd nags and We will dis
lance You SO great, that you will be oh
liged to confess, that you had no bp.i-
ness TO enter the ring oniouri Union turf.

In Camp near Nicksb ,rg, June 5. lse3.
Mr.. Wieting.
As We have arrived near the end cf
our campaign. u may be interesting to
the friends Of the Tara County soldiers,
70 leau,.from one who was there, some
thing Of the part We took in the series
Of contests, through which we have
just passed.
Oar Regiment was engaged in the
fight at Thompson's Hills, near Port
Gibson, on the lst Of May. We enter
ell the f lit at early morning, and were
under fire nearly all day, though W.
seldom came near enough the enemy to
catch glimpse ofthem.
| Our list Of casualties vas, none killed,
6 wounded. One Of the wounded from
c.. c. has since died. Sergeant Rokes
Of our company was slightly wounded
in The hip.
It's doubtful whether we inflicted
more damage OIL the rebels, than we re-
ceived ourselves.
1t was no fault Of ours, that we bore
no more prominent part in this fight
than We did.
| We went wherevc: we were scn',
and ought not TO be blamed because
the II bells wouldn't stand fur Us to shoot
! at.
After this fight, the army advanced
cautiously TOW ard the Jackson & N,cks
bnr. Il r., our force diminishing Or
fighting nearly all he time.
At The capture Of Jackson, our Rrgi
mcnt was within eight miles Of the
place, and making forced II, .rch TOR

We then TUNED westward, marching
near the X. X. All on tho morning uf
