Reelection Of Mr.. Grimes.

The General Assembly, in Joint
Convention, yesterday, ratified the
nomination which had been conferred
by reclamation upon James w. Grimes
as United States Senator from Iowa
for another term of six year. Only
six votes were cast against him by the
opposition party on joint ballot.
Such unanimity in the choice of in
cumbents Of this Office has never be.
fore been known in this state. As
Governor, Mr.. Grimes gave evidence
Of rare practical ability, but as a
member of the United States Senate
he has, before the expiration Of his
first term, placed himself in the front
rank of the ablest Of his associates.
Before the assemblage of the Legis-
lature the public sentiment Of the
state had been Enthusiastically unani-
nous in favor of his reelection, and
their Legislative representatives have
faithfully executed tho popular will.
Gov. Grimes was an advocate Of
Republican principles in this state
when courage and sacrifices were de-
manded in their support, aud now that
new lease of Senatorial representa-
ton is conferred upon him by nearly
the unanimous voice Of the people Of
his state, he will be in position to
render more valuable service than ev-
er before to his immediate constituents
and to the people Of the entire coun-
try.-Iss MOines Register.

Rebel Barbarian.

We have received letter from M..
I. NJ. Merriman, of Floyd, enclosing
one from his son, A. H. Merriman, of
the Ninth Ohio Battery, now station
ed at Tullahoma, Tenn. The letter is
full of interest, and We should be
pleased to publish it entire had we
room to do SO.
The letter bears date Dec. 9th, and
contains an account of the adventures
of foraging party, a day or two pre-
vious. One of the teams composing
the party, with three men, detached
from the rest, became fast in the mud.
The wagon master went back to look
for them, and while the four were en-
deavoring to extricate the load, four
guerrillas suddenly appeared and or
dered them to surrender, which, as they
were without arms, they were obliged
to do. Soon after, a lieutenant came
up, and was also captured. The guer-
rillas, with their prisoners, travelled
till near morning when they halted
and built a fire. The prisoners were
then ordered to stand in row that
they might be guarded till morning.
with the assurance that they should
then be liberated. The rebels then
went in front of them and Immediately
fired, killing one and severely wound
ing three others, two of whom died
the next night. The lieutenant and
wagon master escaped by feigning
death when shot. When Gen. Thorn
as heard of the affair he Immediately
levied tax of $4,000 on the citizens
of the county, for the support of the
families of tue soldiers who were thus
killed.
