duced bill to indemnify the sufferers by
Quantrell's raid into Lawrence last August.
If such is the case the bill is good thing,
especially for Lane, and ought to pass on
his account, if for nothing else. But
would suggest that it be amended so as>to

TWO STRINGS TO IyIS BOW.

IF Grants movement against Richmond is
one intended to keep the rebel commander in
a quandary, we need not be surprised if it
succeeds in puzzling ourselves. GIANT has
been for months getting his own and Lees
army in position where Richmond really
fianked them both to the north, and Peters.
burg to the south. If the rebel right gives
away, Grant takes Petersburg. If the rebel
left yields, Grant takes Richmond. If the
rebel centre is broken, Grant sunders Rich.
mond from Petersburg and cuts the rebel
army in two. 1t strikes us the advantages
Of this position are that Grant is able to de-
liver blow FROM his whole force at either
Petersburg or Richmond without the posi-
bility of Lee anticipating where the blow
will fall. The strategy Of the ordinary bat.
tie field is here being applied to campaign.
Grant, by threats of flank movements at
each end of the line, is Away. keeping the
enemy's line more extended than his own,
and therefore weaker. by making the enc
my believe at pleasure that his objective
point il either Petersburg or Richmond,
which he is the more easily enabled to do, as
the capture Of either would be almost equal.
ly decisive in his favor, he has the advantage
Of two strings to his bow. He operates on
the interior line. If an attack at Petersburg
promises success, it becomes an assault. If
the rebels are fully prepared it still operates
as diversion while the main attack may be
delivered at the other end Of the line 70
obviate the advantages Grant will derive
from such position Of the two armies, Lee
must either become the assailant, or he must
be prepared at every point in his line to
withstand Grants entire free. The strength |
of our Notifications enables us to invite an
assault from Lee at any point without d.
verting the position Of our army intended, for
active operations. u.& r.. ia.
The strategy here developed is unlike any
heretofore employed in the war, as the situa-
ton is novel and unprecedented. Donelson,
Vicksburg, nd:Chattanooga furnish us no
presidents. Gran: is doing new thing in
a now way. .....
Upon this plan Grant, some weeks since,
delivered an attack from his right on the
north side Of the James, which operated as
cover, while simultaneously he advanced his
left wing and occupied the Weldon Road
Now, he has in the Same manner pushed out
his left against the Lynchburg Road as
movement important in itself, yet still more
Important as ruse to cover very formida.
Die advance Of his right towards Richmond
The violence of Lees assaults on our hold
It Chapin's Farm may cause such with.
travail Of his force from Petersburg as to
'ausc Grant to deliver his main attack there.
Certainly Lee will not rest with Grant within
our miles of Richmond. And yet the dan
ger to Lee Of fighting a general battle on the
offensive so near Richmond, We can best con-
'cive by reversing the position and imagin-
ng what would be our sense of the danger
( the success of our cause depended on our
'bility to drive Lee from fortified position
within four miles of Washington !

The Board Of Control of the Iowa, Santa.
ry Commission were in session in this city
during Thursday and Friday. The report Of
the General Agent shows the Commission to
be in splendid working condition, and doing
an immense work. During the six months
from March to September. it has furnished
to the Chicago branch of the United States
Commission more than two thousand pack.
ages Of supplies. which is five hundred more
than the number supplied by Illinois during
the same time. Its cash contributions are
still more gratifying, amounting to near forty
four thousand dollars during the above peri.
cd, which is more than twice the amount
supplied by the States of Minnesota, Wis.
consn, Illinois and Michigan united. Well
done for Iowa. The Board passed resolu.
tons heartily approving Of the arrangements
recently entered into between the Sanitary
and Christian Commissions at Chicago in
order to secure harmony and concert in all
their future operations. The new revenue
plan adopted by the State Commissions Of
the West was also endorsed and recommend
ed to the adoption of Aid Societies. This is
simply the one days income plan. The
Board adjourned yesterday morning, after q
harmonious and interesting session.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Evening Journal.
DAVENPORT, Oct,
The murder Of Deputy Provost Marshals
Woodruff and Bashore, at Sugar Greek
Powcshcik county, by an organized gang OF
.copperhead traitors, has created an intense
excitement in that section, and if the miscrc-
ants are caught no mercy will be shown
them by the people. Congressman Grnnell,
of that district, has offered a reward of five
hundred dollars for their arrest. There was
an assemblagc of three or four hundred citi
zens at Sugar Creek, on Sunday, who were
with difficulty restrained from lynching Mike
Gleason, who was impl Gated in the assassi-
nation.
The Oskaloosa Herald says the assassins
nre part of secret order o: copperheadS in
Iowa, who have sworn to kill any officer who
goes out to bring in drafted men. But this
first bloody deed at Sugar Creek has created
such an intense hornets nest about the heads
of the cowardly traitors, that al! Of that kid
ney are now trembling in their boots, and no
rcpet ition Of an outrage Of the kind need be
feared. They are afraid of the wrath to
come.
If you hear Of the capture and immediate
hanging of the Sugar Creek coppeIhead
murderers, don't be surprised.
We understand that these murdered of
ficials, one Deputy Provost Marshal, and
the other the Provost Marshals Special
Agent, had boon sent to arrest man who
had been drafted and failed to report, when
they were shot down in cold blood. About
six shot were fred at them. One wac killed
almost instantly, and the other died in few
hours. This IS the work o: the peace men
