R The Dubuque Times has passed
into the hands ola Joint Stock Company,
and will hereafter be conducted and
edited by CHARLES ALDRIcH and w. S.
PETERSON. Mr.. ALDRIcH is well. known
TO the Press throughout the State as one
of the spicest, keenes! writer's connect
ed herewith. He is also an able politi.
cal writer, and perfectly conversant with
the public men and public matters Of
this State, having been for two terms
Chief Clerk Of the House Of Representa-
tives. This, with native energy and
industry, will well fit him for the posi-
ton he has assumed at the head of the
Times. Mr.. PETERSON has had consid-
cradle editorial experience and is good
writer, and we shall be much mistaken
if the Times, under the joint control of
these two gentlemen will not prove il
self eminently worthy of the esteem and
patronage Of the Union men of Northern
Iowa, and potent in sustaining and ad.
vancing the material interests OF Dubu.
que, and of this section of the State.
1t is manifest the interest Of the
people of Northern Iowa to sustain the
Times in preference to Chicago journal.
because all the influence that Chicago
journal can use will be given to Illinois
and Chicago, while all the power that
the Times will WELD, will be used for
the benefit OF Dubuque and this section
Of the State. and the good that an inhu
entail journal can do in such connection
is not small. We trust. therefore, that
our people will discriminate in favor of
the Times. Itshould, and no doubt will.
under the new management. give later
news than can be got through the Chica-
90 papers. and will give quite as rclisble
4 resume Of the markets, while its atten-
ion to State matters will make il much
more valuable 10 an Iowa reader than
my paper published on, Of The State.

A New Era for Maryland.

REyERDY JOHNSON writes as follows to
the editor Of the Baltimore american, on
the day after the recent Emancipation
victory in Maryland. What man who
appreciates what Slavery is-who loves
his country and loves humanity, can fail
to rejoice with the Maryland Senator,
and not find yelling up within him tie
same high hopes for our country's fu-
ture ?
" Delighted to hear the result of Yesterdays
election. a new era is now dawning on onr
State, Slavery ended, and it will be as Wash
ington said it would be in that event, the
garden spot" of the United States. He said
so in letter to st. John Sinclair, IN 90
If it is done also in the whole countrv-as
think it will be--great as our prosperity has
been in the past, and high as has been our
name with the nations of the world, both will
be immeasurably, almost, enhanced And
God grant that it may be SO.
Yours, truly,
REyERDY JoaNsoH.

ORDERLY.

The majority of Sherman Cooper
for Mayor of Chicago, last year, was
157. An examination of the poll-lisls
and the records Of the Provost Marshal
office, reveals the fact that no less than
488 of Sherman votes came from men
who subsequently, claimed to be subjects
of Great Britain and demanded British
protection from the draft Deducting
these from Sherman's vote, defeats him
by 33l majority. II is a significant fact,
that so far as known, every vote thus
cast by British subjects was given to the
Peace party, and against the defense Of
the Union.

w In the House Of Representatives,
on the Goth, Hon. WIN. B. ALLISON, Of
this District, reported, from the commit
tee on Public Lands, bill granting al
ternate sections of lands for Railroads in
Iowa and Minnesota, which was passed
This is probably the bill which had al
ready passed the Senate, granting lands
for the construction Of Railroad from
McGregor to the Missouri River, also to
assist the construction OF the Cedar Val
ley Railroad to St. Paul. Mr.. ALLISON
has labored earnestly, and, we are glad
to say, successfully, TO secure these
grants, SO just and essential to the inter-
ests of the North part of the State. We
trust that the building of the McGregor-
or Western Railroad will be secured by
this act beyond peradventure.
Mr.. ALLISON, on the same day. also
reported bill TO modify and change the
location of Railroads in the State, under
the land grant act OF 1856. The bill pas
