Jefferson Davis issweeping into the ranks
Of his traitor armies every inhabitant Of
the States which own his sway. In East
Tennessee bis columns are already 10
motion elsewhere they are waiting only
for augmented numbers. 1t is no longer
a secret that the next campaign is meant
to carry the war to Northern soil. If it
fails-as fail it will-the rebellion goes
hopelessly down, never more capable of
carrying on war on its present scale
But that it may surely aud utterly fail,
the Union needs more men in the Geld
than it has to day needs and must have
men enough to put success beyond all
question. Hence the call Of the Presi-
dent. Let it be responded to with the
same alacrity and eager patriotism as
when Sumter first woke the nation from

That this pledge thus confidently Civ.

acquainted with the patriotic spirit
which has ever animated the people of
Iowa, can for moment doubt. That it
will be, is no less certain, if the needed
effort be but promptly executed. "There
will be no draft in Iowa If the people
arouse themselves to action; otherwise
the draft cannot be avoided. What can be
done to encourage enlistmcnts was well
demonstrated all over our State during

a substitute for other resolutions, which

The House passed the Senate bill, to

p@-Once more the country hears from
the President summons to arms. A
draft is ordered for 500, 900 men to serve
three years or during the war, to be made
on the 10th of March next ensuing. So
many as may have been enlisted or draft.
ed before the LIST of March, not hereto
fore credited, will be deducted /; in other
words, the draft is for SO many men as
shall not have been raised by March LIST
on the last call for 1000; and for
10000 more.
Men of New York, if you do not like
the draft, you have just. four weeks 10
which to avoid it by volunteering. The
country needs the services of her sons in
the field, and must have them. Volun-
teer if YOU will-the more the better
but if on the first day Of March the ranks
Of our depleted armies are not filled, you
must face the music Of the draft.
1t is no hour for caviling, for political
discussions, for complaints Of inactivity
or incompetence. The Rebellion is gath.

sA-1t is an interesting fact that the
sale of confscated estates now being
made at Beaufort, S. c., is carried on
from the verandsh of the Edmund Rhett
House, wh:re more than ten years ago
the rebellion was brooded over by the
very men whose estates now pass under
the hammer. 1t is singular, too, that
the Chairman of the Tax Commission

D@- Remember tho County Convention
on Saturday next. Under other cir

space in urging the attendance Of the
Union men Of the county, but as it is we
suppose there is no one who will be viii.
ling to endure the exposures and pay the
expenses Of a trip to Des Moines to at
tend the State Convention, while We
have three good men on the spot, to
whom We can safely trust our interests
Still we must authorize them to act 70,
US and give them instructions, If w
have any to give. We had hoped that
tho State Convention would have been
put of as long as possible. We are now
"making history" very fast, and no man
can tell what the condition of things may
be three months from now. As it is VIC
hope that our best men will be selected
to act as delegates, and if, as is supposed
by some, any Of our politicians are work
ing for positions as delegates to the Ma
tional Convention, We say leave them al
home. We want none but tried and
honest men men who will look to the
welfare Of the whole country and not
merely to the interests or supposed in.

in the Richmond Examiner Of the 14th
ult.: "Heury, the third servant of Pres

three weeks, escaped on Tuesday night,
and was still at large last evening. Both
the others ran away on Tuesday. 1t is
believed that some outside influence has
been brought to bear upon the Presidents
servants to induce them to abscond. All
of them are supposed to have gone off
with the intention Of making their way
