p@-Ws have looked anxiously for
list Of Iowa's killed and wounded in the
late battle of Sabine Cross, La, but have
been unable to find any full list. Com
pany B, of the oath was in the fight, but
company C was in the rear guarding the
train. Thirty. two were killed, wounded
and missing out of the FIVE companies OF
the oath that went into the battle: Maj.
Wright's clothes we're badly cut and torn
but he was unhurt. We find that Mat
thew Edminston, of Co. d, was wounded
in the leg, and J. L. Kent Of the same
Co. had his elbow fractured. 1t is said
that John Garrison, of Co. c, was wound
ed in the left side. These are all the
casualties that we hear of IN the oath,
except that Drs. Lyon and Witheroux
are missing. The 35th we're also in the
fight and suffered considerably. Lieut..
Dugan was wounded in the foot Elliott
Parr was wounded in the thigh, Corp. J..
J. Klingensmith and T. NJ. Hamblin in
the leg, and Geo. Kettleson is also among
the wounded. We hope to have full
list of casualties before our next issue
The rebels were badly whipped on the
9th. Their loss is estimated at 1000;
ours was not SO large, but still it was
necessary to fall back to the river for
supplies.
Gen. Grant has taken measures to
regulate the armies in the field SO as to
make them Irresistible Concentration
is the order of the day. The troops are
now massed upon such lines as the Lieut..
General believes lead to vital strategic
points. Instead of being discouraged at
the apparent weakness of our force in
Tennessee, Kentucky and elsewhere, the
country should be encouraged by that
fact as an explanation. 49,:
Gen. Vessel surrendered Plymouth,
N. G., on Wednesday, Goth inst, after
four hours desperate fighting. Our loss
is $50 killed and $500 prisoners. The
rebel loss is 5000 killed. Two com.

been taken out and shot. a5..

The New Era Of Maryland,

The Maryland Constitutional Conven-
tion assemblies at Annapolis on Wednes-
day, the 9th inst, and will, without
doubt; adopt such amendments to the
State Constitution as will at oncs secure
the utter abolition Of slavery throughout
the State. The Convention will probably
stand 81 for emancipation to 30 against.
The official statement Of the popular vote
at the late election gave 81 500 for the
convention and 1921 in opposition,
immediate emancipation being the sole
issue. In ono election district of Mont.
gomery county no election was had, be.
cause the judges, it is said, refused to
comply with certain orders given by
military officer; and in this district spe-
cial election has been since ordered by
Gov. Bradford, to be held on the 9th
inst. With this single exception the
election progressed quietly throughout
the State, and the desire of the people
for an entire overthrow Of slavery fully
manifested. Well did Reverdy johnson
write, in private note, to The editor of
the Baltimore American on the day af-
ter this election:
"Deligbted to hear the result Of yes.
terday's election. A new era is now
dawning on our State. Slavery ended,
and it will be as Washington said it would
be in that event, the garden spot of the
United States. He said SO in letter 10

it may be.so. Yours truly,

Another Victory in Arkansas.

An expedition under Col Clayton,
consisting Of 900 infantry, three regi-
ments Of cavalry and six II pound how
itzers, have reached Pine Bluff, Arkan-
sas, after an eventful raid down to the
Saline river, where they encountered a
rebel force 5000 strong. The first en-.
counter took place near Branchville,
where the rebels we're defeated after a
three hours fight: They retreated, and
our forces followed them up. Reaching
Mt. Elba, on the Saline, next day, our
forces occupied the place without resist.

q reconnoitering this side. The enemy
we're discovered some distance from Mt.
Eiba, reinforced, and advancing upon Us.
We prepared 70 give them warm recep.
ton by extemporizing forti6cations of
logs, rails and cotton bales. The enemy
came up with terrific vigor, but were
sent back by our steady fire. Three
times they charged on US and each time
they were repulsed. We had the advan-
tage IN position, and they had at least
double the men We had. Finally they
gave way, after six hours Of vain effort to
dislodge US. We then charged upon
them with TREMENDOUS effect, scattering
them in all directions. In this engage.
ment and that at Brapchville, We killed
81 Of them, wounded and captured about
so. In the mean time our scouting par
ty Of 100 men, mostly negro troops, after
marching Fifty miles down the other side
of the river, came upon rebel train of
SO wagons filled with supplies for the
force that We repulsed, escorted by 800
rebels. The entire train was captured
and destroyed by our men, and the 500
rebels taken prisoners. Over thousand
horses and mules fell into our hands
These achievements over, and the reb-
els so scattered that it was useless for US
to try to get any more fight out of them,
our expedition took up its line Of return
march. Our loss xs very slight. The
total rebel loss is 81 Killed, 400 wounded
aud 800 prisoners, besides their train,
horses and mules.

neutrality-suspicious., is new word,
and one which the Cops. are very fond
Of applying to Union men. They seem
to think that the an.lgama.on which
has been practised between the blacks
and the man owners Of the South will be
forgotten amid the horrors which they
picture AZ the resul. of the abolition of
slavery. They wont deny the fact of
such amalsamation. Will they claim
that it would be any worse if the parties
'soncerned were legally married? Anal
gamation may be defined as mixture of
the blacks with tho man -owners and their
vymPssnssosn, w,,uous s"o .o,m VI u'ar-
riage. Miscegenation as mixture Of
tho blacks with all other whites, with
marriage. Now we ar. in favor of nei-
ther; but if either must be, we prefer
miscegenatiop, as it would save the blacks
from further degradation, and We have no
fear that it would result in as many mu-
lattoes as can now be found as the result
Of amalgamation. Would the case be
any worse than it is, if Vallandigham' $
Muscatine relative was married to Lis
black paramour?
Lest the results Of amalganation may
be forgotten we publish the following
statistics as We find them in the Chicago
Journal, prepared expressly for the Cop
aperheads. The figures are from the
census Of 1860:
There were All, 6l3 mulatto slaves il
the South in 1860. of whom GO, $40 wer.
in Virginia, 43,2Sl in Kentucky, ane
$4,000 in Georgia. These numbers ar
considerably beyond the Legitimate pro-
portion Of those States. There were ais

States in 1860, of whom 1O6,7 belong

An enumeration Of the wrongs they
have suffered, and the acts Of unprece.
denied crdelsy which they have been
subjected to, would make page in the
worlds history darker and more damua-
bic than the record Of former times can
produce.
The catalogue Of crime has been aug
meoted more BY Jefferson Davis and his
associates during the three years last past
than il had been BY the despotisms of
the East combined for half century
previous to the Inauguration of the re-
belliou. Untold, unheard aud upshought
Of dcveltries, atrocities and outrsges have
been committed BY them, and - day after
day has passed they have kept going
from bad to worse until il is now diff
cult to conjecture to what depths Of infa-
my they will not descend. Utterly lost
to all that ennobles humanity they are
not worthy to be called men. Fiends,
would more correctly designate their
true character; and We are not sure that
they would pot blush with shame at a
recital of the actions of these confederate
criminals. Treason, murder, rapine,
theft, and oil the crimes known to the
laws Of the civilized world are daily com
mitted BY these outlaws with the most
uublushiDg efrortery. They glory in
eDacting scenes from which barbarians
would shrink with horror. OF course it
could not be expected that continuation
of such acts would be permitted where
no power prevailed other than the behcsts
of civil rulers. The people would arise
in their might, and amid the terrible ma
jesty Of retribu.ion, the tyrant rulers
would 6ll uutiuely and dishonored graves.
But in the South, as in oil other despo-
tisms, the sword stands between the PEG
pie and their rights. The epsiuery Of a
mighty army brushes the aspirations aud
hopes Of the people. They dare not act
for they have no means Of defense, no
shield wherewith to protect themselves
against the retribution which tho militia
~ authorities would iudict upon them
Hence no concerted, opposition is, or can
be made to the power, which having
crushed and overthrow the liberties of
the people now seeks their property and
lives.
Many suppose that the non action of
the people Of the coufederacy against the
Richmond oficiary argues willing sub
mission to the new order Of things, and a
deep and eradicable hatred towards the
old government, and from this suppose
tion they conclude that the people of the
States in rebellion never will consent to
reunion. But the supposition is falla-
cious and the conclusion also When the
military power of the rebellion is crushed
s"c cun'ea~rr@, -" ~~,,.pse, and tn,
States will resume their former position
in the Union, purified by the fiery ordeal
through which they have passed. The
South will then have regained its rights,
and its people resting secure in the uu
disturbed enjoyment of their liberties will
regard the people Of the North as their
deliverers from a bondage worse than
death.

The Rebels at TIaserstown.

HARRISBURG, Aug. 6.-There are numer-
GUS rumors afloat regarding the rebel in
vasion, but very few can be traced to any
trustworthy source. We still have COM
munication with Greencastle, and dis
patches from there indicate no excitement
and refer to no forces of rebels in such close
proximity as rumors place them to that
town. 1t is still certain, however, that the
rebels hold Hagerstown. Yesterday they
advanced small force to Middleburg. a
point north of the State line, and between
which and Hagerstown their foraging par
ties are reported to have conducted them
selves with great brutality. From rumors
this morning, it is evident this force has
been withdrawn from Middleburg and once
more posted at Hagerstown, where the reb-
els evidently pause for reinforcements.
The fact that they were signalling by rock
cts last night at Hagerstown is an indica-
tion that there is either a force in close
proximity to that place, or that those in
possession Of the toWn desire to advise ap-
preaching parties OF their whereabouts.
There is no doubt that rebels are on our
border.
