LETTER FROM CLARKsvlLLR.

CLAsKsvILLs, May 9Th, 1864.
EDITORS CEDAR FALLS GAZETTE: write Il
inform you that GAINESVILLE moves with the
rest Of the world. In proof of this have to
cite you to the fact that two Of our citizens
have recently left for California, and six for
Idaho. The Californians took the ocean
route, and those for Idaho. the land route.
Also, that in response % the call of Gov.
Stone, for ten thousand hundred.day men,
at the first meeting no less than eighteen
patriotic young men came forward and en-.
listed! And it is confidently expected that
not less than Is volunteers will be enrolled in
this town. Now We claim that this is doing
immensely we'll for town no more populous
than ours, ard this too, after filling all for
mer calls and draining the town of men until
there are not enough left to carry on the
farms. But what is the worth of farm
without government?
But in the midst Of our hustle and excite.
ment, death has visited US, and BY this even,
every heart is saddencd. Prof. j. NJ. Coul
ter. who has been principal Of the GAINESVILLE
Institute since its commencement last Dccem.
Der, died last week, after an illness Of abou,
two weeks. His disease was typhoid feve,
accompanied with inflammation of the brain.
Although Mr.. Coulter had been but short
time among US. he had great hold on the
affections Of all his pupils. and Of all others
who had formed his acquaintance. He
seemed peculiarly well adapted to his calling
as teacher, and I believe can truthfully say
that he was universally esteemed and his
death is universally lamentsd. Rev. George
Graham has been called to all his place as
teacher. and the school term goes on without
interruption. GAINESVILLE also mourns the
death Of Lieut.. Col. Mix. that gsntlemanly
man and brave soldier, who fell recently at
the battle Of Pleasant Hill, and few others
who fell with him. who enlisted here under
Captain (now ColoneD T,umbul under tho
6rst call for $4,000 men.
Col. Mix's residence was near this place,
and he was we'll and favoraOly known to all
our citizens.
There seems to be deep seated feeling
pervading tho minds Of many in this com.
munity, that great events are soon TO take
place in this nation and this feeling is no
doubt induced by the gigantic war prepare.
tons now going forward.

CLEVELAND NATIONAL CONvnN.
afEt TYON. ~.

The New York papers contain call for a
National Convention to be held at Cleveland.
Ohio, on the Slst of May, for consultation in
respect to the Presidential election. The call
declares that The one term principle ought to
be ir1exibiy adhered to, and that the callers
do not recognize in the. Baltimore Conven.
ton the essential conditions Of 4 truly Ma.
,ionai Convention. -
We believe that it Is understood that the
friends Of General Fremont are the orisina.
tors OF this movement. and If the gentleman
approves of this action of his INTRIGUE e
friends, he is not the man We have always
supposed him to be. To attempt to divide
the Union aen Of the country in this critical
hour of our National danger, is wrong in the
highest degree, crimina!ly wrong 1t is but
paving Tho way for the election of rebel
sympa,hizer. or peace. on-any-terns man.
The one term principle, which appears to be
the principal plank in the platform of these
men, is but frivolous pretext Oh the part Of
certain malcontents and office seekers. who
have in view their own political and pecunia.
- profit to a greater extent than the real
good Of the country. In times of National
peace and harmony the che term principle
may be good one, but circumstances alter
cases, and in our present condition we think
that the Administration could moi be changed
without injury to our best interests. Rea.
sons for this are so obvious to every intelli.
gent mind that il is unnecessary for us to
enlarge on this point We might as reason
ably contend that General having success.
fully served in one campaign, should then,
in the face Of the enemy, retire and give
place 70 new and untricd man. Tie spe.
cious reasoning Of these jealous one term
men would have Grant superseded, and the
country deprived of the good results that
spring from his military genius and expert.
snce, simply because some other man desired
his position, AID because still others wished
to secure the posts Of honor and prof. with.
in the bestowal OF the Commander in Chief.
We do not believe that the people are to be
thus deceived. They fully realize that VIC
have an able and honest administration which
now fully understands the minutiae of the
great work on hand, and that it is disposed
to DC it speedily, thoroughly and effectually.
In spite Of political hucksters, and greedy
otiice-seekers the true Union men Of the Ma.
ton will re.elect Abraham Lincoln to the DO
'lslon he has so worthily and satisfactorily
filled during the past four years.

in the coming election, will they not make
themselves responsible for all the acts OF
