The following account from one of
the expedition, after leaving Rich
mond, is of interest:
AT night the command went into
camp at place six miles from Rich

stantly.
"Wednesday morning about 0 o'clock

1t is the best remedy for the permanent
cure OF Chlls and Fever Fever and Ague,
Dumb Ague, and all the malarious Diseases
incident to this climate.
DIR. CHRISTlE'S AGUE BALSAM has new
er been known To fail where the directions
have been strictly followed.
DR.. CHRlSIIES AGUE BALSAM is a
purely vegetable compound containing Meth
er Arsenic, Quinine, Strychnine, or anything
of "A poisonous or deleterious nature.
DIR. CIlRlSIIES AGUE BALSAM has at
tanned its immense popularity through its own
merits, its great power in curing diseases, its
singular harmcssness, and freedom from hurt
ful ingredients. 1t can bc taken by the help
less infant, vigorous youth and feeble age, ev-
or without injury, and always with benefit.
We append a certificate from DIR. Lawrence
Reid, one of the most scientific Chemists in
the United States:
New YORK, August -, 1855.
have analysed DR.. Christie's Ague Balsam,
and certify that 1t contains neither Qunine,
Arsenic, Mercury, Strychnine, nor any Miner

From my knowledge of it's ingredients, |
consider 1t a safe and excellent preparation
for the cure Of Fever and Ague, and that it

The New Supreme Judge.

On the 29th Of February G. G. Cole
Of Des Moines was appointed by the
Governor Judge of the Supreme Court
in accordance with the provisions oi
law recently passed by the General
Assembly increasing the membership
of the Court The appointment will
continue until January, 1865. the peo-
pie being authorized to provide at the
next General Election for the incum-
bency of the Office after the present
year. The law providing for fourth
Judge took effect from and after its
publication in the Des Moines Register
and Iova Homestead. The Homestead
containing the law bears date March
Cd, 1864, and yet Judge Coles com
mission bears date Feb. goth, two days
before the law took effect. What viii
the public say when they come to un
derstand the hot haste with which the
new Judgeship was filled? Every
body understands that this whole at
fair is the contamination of a pro-
gramme made up during the Guberna-
torial campaign, but it remains for the
people to determine whether the future
political prospects of the parties con-
nected herewith have been frightened
by the present consummation of said
programme. AS it now stands, we
have four Supreme Judges all from
the Southern half of the State, while
the Northern half is totally unrepre-
scented on the Supreme Bench.

Gen. Sherman's Expedition.

The movements of Gen. Sherman
are involved in doubt and uncertainty.
Various contradictory reports are in
circulation as to his whereabouts
For example, we are informed by au-
thority that Montgomery has been cap
tured, and that he will Immediately
proceed to the support of Grant ; the
next we hear from him he has return
ed to Vicksburg with his whole army /;
anon he is investing Mobile then he
is encamped at Jackson, and so on to
the end of the list He must be very
ubiquitous sort of a chap if all these
reports are true. Out of so many con-
flicting rumors it is exceedingly diff.
cult to determine the facts in the case.
1t is however probably true that part
of bis army did reach Selma, as repor-
ted, and that the main body of troops
has fallen back to Meridian or Jack
son. SO far as any great results are
to be looked for the Expedition is at
an end. Gen. Sherman has not ac-
complished what the people expected
of him, and they are of necessity very
much disappointed in the finale of the
movement. Weshavc no disposition
to find fault with Gen. Sherman or any
body else for not coming up to the
popular expectations. 1t is cause for
congratulation that he penetrated so
far into the enemy's country and did
SO much damage by the destruction of
railroads, &C., and withdrew with SO
SO small loss.

Soldiers scarcely ever grumble at such
announcements, especially If a good
table is set and greenbacks are not too
scarce.
At Mendoza we were obliged to re.
main till the morning of the Goth. Here
we experienced the disadvantage Of
soldiers life by having to sleep on the
foor. OF course we shall soon get ac-
cushioned to that again, but it don't
come half so natural, and we don't get
used to it half as quick as we do to a
good bed We arrived on the opposite
side of the river from this place about
noon. We were obliged to march
about three miles up the river before
we could cross, it being 80 blocked
up with ice that it was impossible to
effect crossing here. When we did
find the crossing place, the accommo'
dations we're so poor that by the time
we all got over and marched TO town
1t was about dark. Not being used to
marching much for the last two months
we we're considerably tired, and as we
live principally by eating, and had
had but little to cot that day we were
somewhat hungry, still we didn't eat
any hard tack that nighttime enough
for that yet!
On our arrival at this place we re-
ceived hearty welcome from some OF
the boys whom we left in camp. They
were last to GO home but first to re-
turn. Only about half the companies
of the regiment are here we look for
the others tomorrow. The expectation
now is to start for Dixie on the Gath.
We shall probably go to Pulaski, Tenn.

Wisconsin Ship Canal.

We understand that il is in contem.
plation to call Mass Convention, to
be held at Prairie du Chen the coming
Spring, to consider the feasibility OF
constructing ship canal through Wis.
consin by way of the Wisconsin and
Fox rivers. 1t is highly important
that this question should be agitated.
The idea Of calling this Convention
originates with the Northern members
Of the Iowa Legislature. 1t is pro-
posed to have gathering of the lead.
ing agricultural. commercial and bust
ness men of Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin and if Congress cannot
be induced to make the Improvement,
to have it done by private enterprise.
1t 10 estimated that one million Of dol.
lars will enable small steamers and
barges to 60 through and transport
all the grain and produce of the North.
west at less than half the expense
which is now charged TO our prodnc-
ers while about two millions of dol
lars would give magnificent canal
which would enable our ships to load
at levces on the Mississippi and sail
directly for Europe. This is an enter
prise worthy the attention of every
Northwestern man. Give us the Nc
Gregor Railroad and the Wisconsin
ship canal and the Great Northwest
will at once be seen to blossom as
the rose prosperity will come to
our people. and with rapid strides
they will march On to wealth, prosperi-
~ and happiness.
