OUR RECENT VICTORIES.

SATURDAY MORNING, NAY IA.
OUR RECENT VICTORIES.
We are happy 10 be able, At last, to con.
gra,,l.te our readers upon the success Of
our army in Virginia. That Grant has
gained /. decided victory We think there
csa be no doubt, while Butler, BY cutting
Of the Railroad communication South Of
Richmond, has added much to the feeling
of encouragement which ve now begis -,
entertain Of the ultimate triumph Of the
North. That The flower and major por-
ton Of the army OF the South Was con.
centrated under Lee at the three days 6ghs
is hardly open to doughi II so, and the
enemy were then unable TO success sfuny
oppose our advance in the direction Of
their Capi.al-if 10 fact-as now appears
cer,ain-their best soldiers and ablest
Generals were defeated in attempting to
do 50, theiu remains little, in our opinion,
to Do done to render tho investment, and
intimately the capture Of Richmond ser-
tain. Onc~ this accomplished and the
6nal subjugation Of tho South by the
North can no longer be made question.

ABS. ROWLING OECAUSE o. OUR
CRITICISM ON Mn. HUBBARD's
SPEECH.
We notice in the last issue Of little
abolition sheet published At Fort Dodge,
an attempted sindics.ion Of that negro
equality, miscegena'ion demasogue Who
was elected to represent this Congressional
district. As W. never allow the columns
Of The REcisrEa to be polluted BY Ian.
guage appropriate to proper response to
such scurrilous attack as Was made up.
or US in the Republican, We shall only
now say word as to the cause and evil
dent design Of this attack. A week or t~o
ago VIC were furnished With copy Of
sort Of school boy speech, or rather haran.
que, said to have been delivered BY the
Hon. A. W. Hubbard. We thought some
portions Of it required ventilation, and in
our issue Of the 3O,h ult. gave . brief
synopsis Of this wonderful production,
with few editorial criticisms. If there
was anything savoring Of disIoyal,y ia our
article, it was in those portions extracted
from the speech, and for which We gave
due credit. The editor Of the Republican,
in his haste 10 come to the rescue Of bis
fanatical brother, has evidently failed to
discriminate between that which was edi.
torial, and that which was in quotation
marks, and hence the extravagans
denunciations against US.
The design Of the article il the Rcput
Hcan was t~o.fold. First, to prepare the
people Of the district for the infection Of
this incubus from Indiana a second time
upon them rs representative, and secondly
to incite the soldiery in this military dis.
trio. to the suppression Of The REGISTER
As for the first we would simply say, that
it is possible the Republican may be cor.
req. in its prediction Of the reelection Of
Mr.. Hubbard, but we are inclined to the
belief that even the Republicans OF the
Northwest will prefer to be represented in
Congress by one Of their own citizens,
rather than by SPECTATOR from Indiana.
AS for the second, we would say 10 the
editor Of the Republican, that We have the
pleasure Of living in a military department
the soldiers in which are gentlemen and
honest men, and who regard it ~ no part
Of their duty because in the army, to per-
petrate any outrages upon the persons Of
civilians, or to destroy the property Of all
who do not endorse the proprie.y of max.
ing the black soldier the equal of the
white one.
A 100000 MEN TO BE RAISED IN
THE WEATERN STATES.
1t seems to us that the Governors of the
Western States, have acted very impru.
IDENTITY in proposing to raise 100000 men
for the hundred day service. The number
Of Iaboring men in the West is entirely
inadequate to properly care for our farm.
