idea was ever hatched for the purpose Of aid
ing the construction Of such bridge. 1t is
intended to forever defeat it-and such will
be its inevitable consequence. Adopt this
amendment and Northern Iowa will never
have an outlet to Milwaukee ly Dubuque
Put this power into the hands of that city,
and it will become bl'shting curse to the
prosperity, wealth and development Of all the
vast region that naturally seeks an outlet by
that city. B. - would it be for us, il
that city was "in the deep ocean buried" or
all its inhabitants sent to Dixie, where the
sympathy Of its Senators naturally tend.
Already the extortion, unnecessary delay
and stealing propensities Of the trans ship.
pers at Dubuque, are driving large portion
of trade out Of its natural channel, at great
expense to the producer. The Senator from
Floyd, the other day, on another question be
fore the Senate, remarked that two thirds Of
the produce shipped from Cedar Falls came
down the Cedar Valley. This is not from
the fact that larger proportion Of produce
is raised in that region. But the enormous
charges at Dubuque have driven large por.
ton Of the trade from that Road to the Cedar
Rapids Road Most Of the wheat from Har,
din, Franklin, Wright, Hamilton, Webster
&C., now goes to the Southern Road, at grea,
expense, to avoid Dubuque. Hf.. .
This fact, says the Senator, is evidence
conclusive, that they must have a bridge
Far from it. Dubuque is now smarting un
der heavy judgment against her in favo,
of bonds she gave to the Railroad. And the
increase to the business Of tho Road, will bs
but poor comfort to her, if all the benefit she
receives is to hear the scream Of the locomo
tive whistle, as it glides rapidly by their city
Chicago loses nothing by driving trade to an
other Road, as that, too, leads to that city,
But so soon as an attempt is made to build 8
bridge for road, that leads to another city
then all Of its mighty energies (Which, am
proud to say, has heretofore been directed
for good) will be brought to bear agains, any
enterprise of that kind. And how poten,
will be her appliances, let the groans and
degradation Of Northern Iowa answer in af
ter years. .... .-....-
Then if you adopt the amendment pro-
posed by the gentleman from Dubuque, you
forever throw an obstruction across any at
tempt, to open new market, which is the
nearest, and under the circumstances alto
gether the best, for my constituents, and for
one third of the State of Iowa.

HmservSew between the PresSaeRs
amd George ThOmpson.

WAsHrEoros. April 10, Is64.--George
Thompson had an interview with President
Lincoln on Saturday, which was satisfactory
to both parties. In the course Of CONVERSE
ton the President said, in reference to the
Emancipation Proclamation, that the para
mount idea of the Consultation was the pres
ertation of the Republic. and that he had
never for moment doubted the right and
power of the Executive to issue such proc
lamation, whenever it was manifest that, like
a patients diseased limb, life could be saved
only by amputation."
Public sentiment had advanced slowly but
surely, and be had moved just az fast as it
seemed to him he could move and be sustain
ed. He could not have felt justified in the
emancipation issue until all other means of
restoring or preserving the Republic had
failed, and he had no consciousness of hay
ing transcribed his powers. 81 do not see"
said he, "how any man standing in my shoes
could have done otherwise than have DONE"
AT the close of the interview he invited the
party into the State Dining Room, to see the
painting COMMUNICATING the FIRST reading of
the Proclamation to the Cabinet, now execu-
ting by Mr. Carpenter, Of New York.

A Fight at GreenviIle.

WAsEINGTos, N. G., March 29.-I have 20
record another brilliant affair mado by the
irrcprossiblo Graham aDd his band Of Bluffs
On the 10th inst, Capt. Graham, at tha head
Of squad Of his men, made a reconnaissance
towards Greenvillc, with tie intention of
learning tho whereabouts Of cur almost uhi
quitars (maJ hay iniquitous) enemies, andthc
laudable object Of picking up a few If their
transporting yideites, if he happened 10 meet
with any. About ns,n, having esp;cd three
rebel viaeites, Capt. Graham took ten men
ard made a fearful charge upon them. The
vidrttcs had just time cnough TO show three
clean pair Of heels, when Graham came up
with them. This happened about one mlo
from Black Jack Church. The rebels led
our fellows pretty close race, xntil they
brought the Bluffs "smack" into the rebel re-
serve, consisting of some twenty cavalry, un-
der change of Lieut. Kinney. Nothing daunt'
ed, however, Graham continued his charge,
and made a gallant fight, lasting Hbaut five
minutes. lie sucsce&ed in killing eight of
the enemy, among whom was Lieut.. inzey,
and woundng seven. About half mile
farther on, down very straight road, Capt.
Graham saw the enemy drawn up in line Of
battle, with vastly superior numbers, and,
deeHingit nothing short of madness to con-
tinue the fight, after releasing the wounded
prisoners, and giving three cheers for the
suh-distriet of the Ramiico and three for the
old flag, he returned to Washington, bring
ing with him five horses and two prisoners.
He also destroyed some twenty stand of arms.
The road between Black Jack and Grcsn-
villeis very strongly picketed by four COM
panies of Colonel Ksnnedy's battalion of
rebel cavalry, with the object, it is said, of
protecting their weak spots abcut KinstGa.
