needs. The fortfcations of the city are be-

PENDLEroN, the candidate of the peace
party for Vice President, in a public speech,
.'thaaked God that he had neuer roted or given
dollar in support Of the aoar, or in payment
Of abolition soldiers" This is the man that
is Gen. McClelan's associate on the Presi-
dental ticket. The fifty thousand Iowa
boys who have gone forth to battle for the
Union will not be apt to vote for such man,
or any one who afti!iates with him. in The
face Of his own admission will any one have
the efl'rontery to claim that Pendleton is a
Union man, or that the party which nomi
mated him is Union partyS And again
woul1not man who would not give or vote
dollar in support of the war while in pro
gress, be in favor Of repudiating the debt in
Cured when peace should be declared o.
in other words, say to you, the soldiers o
the Union, you were miserable fools to figh
in an Abolition" war, and you may now
whistle for any pay that may be due you
The South, however, being in the right, &C
cordng to MIR. Pendleton, would be REIN
bursed for every dollar it had expended il
the war. and its soldiers paid and providct
ior with libcrality.

The first article in the Dis Union Platform
asserts that in the future, as an the past,
we vii! adhere with answering fidelity to
the Union" This has peculiar force when
we remember that rebellion vas inaugErated
under Democratic administration, and that
every one Of the seeding States was govern
ed by Democrats. That they will adhere to
the Union as in the past" probably means
that they will continue to use their best eff.
forts to break up the Union. ..., - -s

formant could not remember the precise day
q sad accident occurred at Iowa Falls. A
party Of eight, consisting of ladies and gen.

place just above the mill dam, in lumber

when finding the water too deep to admit Of
their proceeding farther, they turned about
In turning it appears they got into deeper
water, the wagon box tipped off, and threw
the party into the water. Seven Of them
succeeded in getting hold on the box and
were saved; but Miss Simmons, a young
lady about eighteen years Of age, was unable
to reach the box and was drowned. W.

Good News from our Armies.

Lees army though not so large as it ought to be, IL
in fine plight 1t is largo enough, too, TO send heade
on a begging tour for more men. Food is yet ample
clothing abundant shoes plentiful enough, and the
sD;ta of the men all that could be wished. Whoever
has the blues the hippo, the megrims or the hysiero'
need only 20 to Lees army to be cured instantly All
who have been that army agree that visit there
an infallible remedy for despondercJ. Officers who
coma TO edmond make haste to get back to the Rap
dan They declare that the croakng and gloom OF the
city demoralizs them.
Judging from wha. il has done Of late, and is still
doing Longstreets army is also in fine condition Some
of the men have suffered severely for the want of ban
k,ts and shoes but the people and the Government
have come to their relief aud complaints have ceased
Loy way, naked or not Longstreet's men are pucky
aud stout enough to dive the enemy TO within four
miles of Knoxville as the reader will By referring to
the column of kilograms.
With regard to Gen. Johnston's army, we have the
following assurances from the Atlanta CSntsderdey:
Esery indication which reaches u; from the army Is
cheering IL is much that the troops are COM
parayely comfortable in their rude huts yet tina.
single universal sentiment of confidence exists in ia.
yor ot Gen Johnston The chief feature that afret -
our attention and pleasure is that the troops
enli5tipg The noble example was set Dy Tue IeLhes-
sesans These poor exies have held meetings among
themselves and have resolved to 60 homo except
with mu kets upon their shoulders. The KentuckaDs
followed suit, aud the whole army is readily sub
scbng to new term Of service. With the new levies
which will be poured in after the rs OF February, we
shall be able to meet and repel Grants advance in The
spring. If every in the will put his shoulder
to the wheel ard Contribute whatever he can TO the
proper equipment OF the army especially in the way OF
blankets, there would be more suffering. We coz
ess frankly that the apparent apathy OF the country
had excited some grave msgvings within our hearts,
aor the retreat from Missionary Ridge, but the hero
ism of the soldiers perfect faith, and We
now look upon the advent of host.ss with sanguine
spirits. There is no use mincing words about tive
mast defeat the next forward movement preserve Geor
gia from invasion, aud save the Contederacy. With
this result the coming elections in the North will 60
