GOOD F0R BLACK HAWK.

We publish the result Of the official can
pass of the vote in this county. Black Hawk
does nobly, giving Old Abe ,OJG majority
a gain Of sol over Stones majority Of last
year. =, We had estimated the majority on
the home vote at l 200, and had the town,
insthe lswer part of the county done as well
ss'those in the northern portion, our expect.
atiors would have been realized. In Cedar
and Poyner townships there was a large fall.
ing of,--the former running l3, and the lat
feral7 behind the majority of last year. But
with some SEQ soldiers votes which we may
expect, we are inclined to believe that, con.
sidcring population, ours will be the banner
county of the State. Lincoln township il
appropriately named it cast Is votes, and
every ORE Of them for Lincoln. By referring
to the table it may be seen tina, Black Hawk
township done better than we gave it credit
for doing. Instead Of giving only nine ma
jrity, as reported in our last issue, it gave
thirty three msjority,-a gain Of three on its
last years vote. The three principal towns
in the county, Cedar Falls, Waterloo and
East Waterloo, present record of which
they may well be proud. The former gives
PSI nsjorisy.-s gain of So; the second 1873
-nsjority,--a gain of 57 the third l46 ma

THE LOYAL NOaTNWEsr.

The New England States are receiving a
great deal Of credit for the solid Union front
they present, and they deserve it all. Bot
weSfust thc,eastsrn press will not be un-
mindful Of the great Northwest, which until
the breaking ont Of the rebellion was not
considered Of much account. The New Eng
land States give Lincoln about 100 90 ma.
jority. The Northwestern States, viz: Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa,
Minnesota, and Kansas, roll up the splendid
Union majority Of 223, 600. The New Eng
land States will have in the next Congress
twenty six Representatives,, while the North
west will have fifty eight; or, lacking only
seven Of being one-third Of the entire repre-.
sentation in that body. The Northwest has
proven itself power in the land which will
hereafter be recognized. Wcare out of the
woods, and in positonto command respect
All bail the Northwest. The way she has
answered to the Union, the Flag. and the
principles Of Free Government, must have
resulted in the 'utinsst discontinue Of oil
sche.ners fer Northwestern C0ufede-acy
No more Of that, now. The Northwest leads
New England, even,in her devotion to Union
and Liberty. For this great honor she il
ready TO be irst in the contempt Of Freedom
matters everywhere, as she who loses tn,
palm has heretofore been. The Norlhwes
sends greeting these glad tidings Q: great Joy

THE ORPHANS AGAIN.

Mr.. EDITOR Sabbath ereuin. the pas.
tors Of the churches in Waterloo, the Bap-
list. the Congre gstiona!st, Presbyterian and
Methodist, with their congregations, aud the
citizens generally, met in a great union
meeting held in the Baptist church. Such
was the interest taken in this cause that they
crowded the house, and great many went
away for want of room. 1t was one Of the
bcst meetings | ever attended. The choir,
an excellent one, sang well. and especially the
last piece, America" There was bat one
mind and heart with the people in the cr-
phan work. They contributed literally, and
appointed well selected committee OF ladies
to canvass the town. This morning, these
nine ladies, earnest workers, commenced the
good work, and never have 4 known any
committee to do better. This cvsning we
had large audience again in the same church
and we had good music - Thousand
Years" y" Brave Boys" and the Brave Old
Flag" The amount contributed by this pee
pie is $1,000. Black Hawl, County now
stands $500, making it at this time the
banner county. Ana the people think i
only b-ginning, Cor all the county will dc
literally. Your paper has contained an &c
count OF the two great meetings in Ceda,
Falls, with the 81, 800 given. These lou,
audiences in this county equal any ever
saw East and West for intelligence, culture
aad devotion TO good works. The churches
in these two places are fair index to thC
character of the people.

emphatic manner. At our time Of writing
We have returns from forty one counties
OF this number thirty six give Lincoln 49,.

Clellan 1,G4s, making Old Abe's majority so
far ls,css. There are fifty seven counties
yet 10 hear from, which will more than
double the above, while the soldiers' vote yet
to come will make our majority for the Union
fully $4,000. This is record Of which We
may well be proud, and we arc inclined to
beliese gives us the position OF the banner
State. Copperheadism does not flourish on
the loyal sell Of the Hawk Eye State. We
have sent noble greetings to our brave boys
in blue; and, IS we have ever been proud of
their heroic valor, so will they now be proud
Of our overwhelming vinaicaticn Of the cause
On which they are Periling their lives. We
have sent to the field over 50, COO as brave
men as ever shouldered muskc;s, and have
STILL enough true men left at home to bury
treason beneath majority Of 10000 votes.
We are going to stamp the seal Of spprobs-
tion upon every soldier We have enlisted, by
giving majority ballot for each one Of them.

many a richer and larger commonwealth may
