19rThere are few plain propositions that
we believe indisputable, which should be
kept before the people; and among them are
these:
1t is impossible at this time to make peace
between the Government and the rebellion,
without acknowledging the independence of
the Southern Confederacy. That is to say,
peace is now impracticable, save upon the ba-
sis of the dissolution of the Union.
The people of the loyal States can, if they
will, overwhelm the rebellion by force of
arms. They have the power to do it. They
can do it by putting forth their strength with
the earnestness, determination and singleness
of purpose in the cause of the Union, that
the rebels have shown in the cause of dis
union.
The practical question is whether the peo-
pie of the loyal States have the spirit, the
manhood, the hardihood in making sacrifices,
the understanding of their own interests, the
bipartisan patriotism, to go on with the work
steadfastly through all discouragements to
the end?
If one-half, or nearly one-half the people
of the loyal States are determined to oppose
the war, to embarrass and weaken the Gov
eminent, by resistance to the essential war
measures, they can secure the independence of
the Southern Confederacy. In other words,
if the Democratic party, with all its power,
goes for disunion peace, they can become
responsible for that disgrace and calamity

CELEBRATION OF THE FoURTH."-We gave
an account yesterday of the great celebration
of the 4th in this city. There were other eel
ebrations throughout the country, not equal
ing the one held here, to be sure, yet far sur
passing any ever before held in their respec
tive sections of country.
At Upton there were at least four thousand
people present. Everything passed off salts
factorily. Joshua Tracy, ESQ.,, of Burlington
delivered the address.
The celebration at Columbus City was the
largest and most enthusiastic ever held in
Louisa county. Seats had been prepared te
accommodate three thousand persons, but
they were found to be inadequate for the &C
commodation of the ladies who were present.
H. Amber, Esq, Of Mt. Pleasant, and D. G.
Cloud, Esq, Of this city, delivered the adj
dresses. They were highly spoken of by
those fortunate enough to hear them. The
speech of Mr.. Cloud is said to have been a
clear, convincing argument, and an eloquent
appeal to Union men. The Copperheads had
come in large numbers, and under the leader
ship of one Major Steele vowed that nothing
but Democratic speeches should be made on
the occasion. The valiant Major became OBJ
streperous during the speaking, and was set
tied by knock-down argument from an old
gentleman. He was carried off
the ground, and his followers, intimidated by
the course pursued toward their leader, were
quiet for the remainder of the day.
There were also celebrations at Harrison,
near Wapello, and at a grove midway between
West Liberty and Attalissa, at which crowd
estimated at three thousand were present.
James McNutt, Of this city delivered the ad-
dress.-Daily, Sth.

UNION STATE TICKET.
Vfcksburs Taken mt Inst

The news received from Gen. Grant yes
terday is good, and what is still better, it is
TRUE. There is no mistake about the fall Of
Vicksburg, this time. Our brave western
army has certainly taken the city, with up
wards of $4,000 prisoners and large amount
of small arms and heavy ordnance.
The practical effect Of this grand achieve
ment is the death-blow of the rebellion in the
South West. Port Hudson will not hold out
much longer, and our great Mississippi army
will then be at liberty to march eastward and
finish the work so nobly begun by Gen. Meade
Never since the war opened have the skies
looked so bright as at this time. flour pres
ent successes are followed up by vigorou:
and determined prosecution Of the war, thu
rebels will not have time to recruit thei
shattered military power, and must give VI
the struggle ere many months more. Got
grant that it may be so!

POSTAGE ON TRANSIENT NEWSPAPERS
There is general Misrepresentation in regard
to the postage required on transient newspa
pers. Most persons suppose that each paper
must be prepaid at the rate of two cents
This is true if only one paper is put in 9
package, but the law allows package moi
exceeding four ounces to be sent for two
cents. For the convenience of our citizens
we have weighed the JOURNAL on the scales
and find that foe copies of the Daily and
three of the Weekly can be sent at the two
cent rate. When a number of papers are
desired to be sent to one address, therefore
the new rate will be found to be much cheap.
er than the old.
Remember that the postal rate on tran
sient newspapers is t,oo cents for every four
ounces or fraction thereof, but no package ex-
ceeding four pounds can be sent through the
mail.

1t has come to pass in these days of inter-
necine war and rebellion that q negro is as
good as white man. Perhaps not in gen.
eral sense, but the fact stands out in bold
relief-enunciated in that code of war that
governs the armies Of the officially
proclaimed by the ''powers that be-" that he
who places his life upon the altar of his coun-
try for his country's salvation and preserva-
ton, is entitled to and shall receive the fullest
protection which that government can give !;
and in this resolute determination there is to
be no discrimination between persons with
large or small feet, red or black hair, white
or black skins. The Government of the
freest nation on earth has at last said that he
who would in the hour Of common danger
and peril so far forget and forgive the op-
pressions- indignities and insults heaped
upon him by country whose aristocracy
and prejudices made him an outcast and lay
down his life to protect the lives and liberties
of his most malignant oppressors, shall rise
from his degraded position to the full statue
Of man. Coppcrheads, negro haters, STUN
bling blocks in the way of human progress,
old fogy conservatives and rebels in arms
will frown and foam and swear-but to no
purpose. The rebel Commissioner for effect
ing an exchange Of prisoners, has been duly
notified that the old Government of the Fed.
eral Union will, to the full extent of its power
protect and hold sacred the life of every man
who recognizes the "old flag" and keeps steE
to the music of the Union. That for every
black Union soldier maltreated, subjected tt
slavery, or brutally murdered by rebel officers
soldiers or civil authority, this Government
will retaliate upon the 'chivalry of rebellion.
Hereafter the negro, fighting for the Union
stands in the eye of military law the equa
of the white man. As our Northern torie.
and treason-mongers are below the rebels il
arms in the scale of honor and common de
cency, We are glad to welcome any authori
tative announcement that recognizes thu
heroic fighting African as superior to SOM
white men. TO avoid this degradation, mer
must become loyal. No war is worth wagins
that does not make some progress in thu
race. If this war is to achieve no grand re
suits and ameliorate the condition of man
better that we have peace. But every day
we make progress. The sublime truths Of
the Declaration of Independence are being
understood, and We as nation are preparing
the way for their universal acceptation, after
plodding 81 years in political stupidity.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Ludlow, commissioner for the exchange Of
prisoners, has notified the rebel authorities
that the United States Government will pro-
tect all officers and men in its service, with
out regard to color or nationality, and will
promptly and severely retaliate for all viola
tons Of the cartel, and of the law and usages
of war. This notice is given by order Of the
Government.

~Vallandigham is out of the COM

~ Vallandigham is out of the Confed-
eracy, having arrived at Bermuda in the
steamer Lady Davis, which ran the blockade
at Wilmington, &C. 1t is fact worthy Of
notice, as indicating the intimate relations Of
Vallandigham and the rebel leaders, that the
Lady Davis is not an ordinary blockade run
ner, but vessel belonging to the Confederate
Government" The Southern papers report
that Vallandigham is fully convinced that the
restoration of the Union is impossible. We
suppose he will next be heard from in Canada.
P.S. A dispatch received last night says
Vallandigham arrived at Halifax Sunday.

az A Washington correspondent of the
Columbus (Ohio) Journal, states that facts,
developed since the naval assault on Charles
ton, abundantly show that, had the assault
been persevered in, both Sumter and Charles
ton itself would speedily have fallen. The
reason he assigns for the failure to pursist in
the attack is insinuated by the further state
ment that the officers and crews of the block
aiding squadron are rapidly growing rich on
prize money! He thinks the officers there
were not too anxious to "kill the goose that
lays this golden egg for them! We don't
know what ground he has for the assertion.
But if correct, what, comment on the patriot
ism and fidelity of our Navy!

ssT'he Constitution ns 1T Is.''

The Courier and other butternut organs
still carry this hypocritical motto at the head
Of their columns, while they endorse the &C
ton of the Democratic conventions of two
States which have already repudiated their
once favorite maxim. The Ohio convention
which nominated Vallandingham resolved
in favor of obtaining such amendments to
the Federal Constitution as experience has
proved necessary to maintain that instrument
in the spirit and meaning intended by its
founders, and to provide against future con-
WILSON'S and wars" This is virtually saying
that the Constitution is not good enough, and
must be amended to suit the Copperheads
and rebels, for most other people appear to be
satisfied with it.
In the same spirit the late Democratic Mass
Convention at Springfield, ILL.,, resolved in
favor of National Convention in order to Sc
cure, "by constitutional amendments such
rights to the several States and the people
thereof as honor demand" This implies that
the Constitution as it isl denies 'rights"
which are demanded by the South.
Isit not time these unprincipied demagogues
should cease their clamoring for the " Consti
tuition as it is" when they have unnasked
their own base purposes? Vallandigham
himself drafted and recommended an amend
ment to the Constitution recognizing the right
of secession. How, then, can the Democratic
party be in favor of the Constitution is it
lis and the Union as it Was" Will some
of those honest men deluded by this catch
phrase of hypocrites tell US
