ASTOUNDING RoBBBay.--Yes terday morn
ing telegraplic dispatch was received m
town that the safe in the Treasurers office
at Independence. Buchanan county, had been
robbed of $4,000, in greenbacks and gold
The key hole of the safe had been knocked
in, so as to make the opening larger. after
which powder was placed in the aperture
and the lock blown open. The manner in
which the robbery was executed, showed
that it was done by some one that had'ths
tools for such purposes, and who also had an
intimate knowledge Of the position and can.
dtion of things about the Office. No clue
has been obtained to the psrpetrator. A re-
ward OF $1,000 has been offered, and every
exer;ion is being made to detect the robbers

The New Call for Two Hundred Thou
sand Soldiers.
The President has issued call for two
hundred thousand more troops, to be enforced
by draft on the 10th Of April, if not sooner
filled by voluntary enlistments. This call 10
rot entirely unexpected. 1t may not be gen.
orally known, but it is nevertheless strictly
true, that under the last call for two hundred
thousand additional men in February. the
Government has actually recsived . far less
number Of men than il called for, though
most Of the States have filled their quotas
The reason is plain. 1t was announced that
the last call was for the purpose Of squaring
up accounts, and thereupon an extensive sys.
TEN of research and figuring was begun in
every State; all loose accounts of Provost.
Marshals and state authorities were balanced
up; old credits not before allowed, were
brought forward and allowed on tho new quo
ia scattering men, who had enlisted and
never been credited, were counted for the
first time; enlistments in the naval service
have been credited as recently allowed by
law; the veteran enlistments. which came in
largely, were credited, and aided many locali-
ties to escape the draft; every exertion, and
many systems offguring, some Of which we
fear were not as straightforward as they
ought to have been, were used until many o!
the States have announced that their quotas
were full under all calls, with surplus. We
have in memory at present New Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut. 1ndi-
ana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Kansas,
and many parts of Michigan, New York and
all Of which have filed their
quotas under all calls, and most of them have
a surplus left, which is being constantly in
creased by veteran and volunteer eniistments
not heretofore credited. The army has, not
been largely and gratifyingly
augmented, but not, by any means, to the
extent Of the last call. That call, as we
have said, has been largely exhausted by the
credits forold enlistments, never before count
ed. Hence, this new call, though succeeding
SO rapidly to that of February, can and will
bs promptly met in most Of the States, with
out any hardship whatever. Many localities
have q surplus already to be credited on the
new quota, while the necessities Of the naval
service, including the marine corps, offer a
anger field than heretofore for the choice Of
the volunteer. Only in those localities
which have been hnbitually behind in every
quota, will the new cali be considered as
hardship. This quota filed promptly and
and the army will be so strengthen.
ID that all future calls can he dispensed with.

GEN. GRANTS MovEAESTs.--A special dis.
patch TO the Chicago Journal from Nashville,
2lst, says:
General Grant left this city Saturday NOR,
ming for Washington. He has closed his hu
siness here, in connection with his late com
mand, and transferred the command to Gen.
Sherman, who met him here. 1t is under
stood that the plans for the future campaign
are now agreed upon. 1t is not expected
that there will be much activity in this De-
partment until certain important operations
under General Grant. in Virginia, shall have
been carried out. He will proceed on to
Washington without the least delay, and, as
soon as he arrives there, will immediately
leave for the front and place himself at the
head Of the Army OF the Potomac, which
needs recognizing. Il. will not remain long
idle sitter he reaches its headquarters.

FROM THE CAPITOL.
Dgs MONIES, Iowa, March 18th, !

D1S HpISbs, Ao"S, haICB iEtHi loUS
Mr.. DIroR:-This has been rather an
eventful week at the Capitol Of Iowa. On
Monday, the city election was held, which
resulted in the choice Of "Dogberry" Morris
as Mayor, By Eve majority. On Tuesday
morning it was rumored that Mr. Burrhis,
the Legislative Post Master, had voted ille-
gally, and voted for the copperhead candi-
date for Mayor. He was living at Marshall
town. and went out from there with the mem
bers Of the Legislature, and arrived at Des
Moines on Saturday the 9th day Of January.
The election was on the 7th day OF March,
yet he voted by swearing in his vote, while
he lacked two days of sixty in the County.
And four weeks previous to tho election he
claimed that Marshall County was his home.
A joint resolution was introduced appoint.
ing committee to investigate the matter -
The committee found the facts, and recon-.
mended his expulsion, which was adopted
by both branches, and Mr.. Burrhis and his
$500 ceased. If justice would overtake ev-
cry one that violates law, thus suddenly laws
would soon be respected. But Mr.. Burrhis
came here and passed himself of as good
Republican, and was elected on that ground
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
! The bill for tho CONNIE ncement Of this
building, passed the Senate on Friday, grant,
ing $4,000, for the purpose Of putting up
the walls, and inclosing the building by Oct.
10Th, 1865, relying on the next Legislature
for further appropriations to finish it. The
bill was originally $50, 900 for finishing, but
in view Of the demands on the State Treasu.
~, and the unsettled state of the country,
the friends of the College thought it best to
accept the bill rs it came from the committee
on Ways and Means. This appropriation,
with other means the Trustees will have at
their command, will enable them to enclose
the building, which the law says shall not
cost exceeding $4,000. And this donation
is given, with the understanding at the time,
that they are to have further legislative aid
at the next Session.
ADJOURNMENT
Both branches have agreed by resolution
to adjourn on the 29th inst. And they have
passed resolutions prohibiting the introduce
ton Of any new subject of legislation, cxcep.
by unanimous consent So the end draweth
nigh. There is yet much to do, but most all
subjects have been :natured. SO that things
will pass of rapidly.

PECULIAR CHARACTERISTICS.
A spectator would be idle indeed, If he did
not observe some peculiar characteristics, in
three months contact with the members Of
the General Assembly. The trouble il, to
give them honestly, without offending in
, some cases.
Senator Cuts Of Poweshiek County is ia man
Of decided character. One would be almost
tempted TO suppose he obtained his name at:
ter he arrived at his majority. Independent
-ssrcastic-bitter, he is Of the John Ran.
dolph school of orators. All are fearful Of
his Cuts, which are pungent, unmerciful,
scathing. OF fine talents, copious in Ian
guage, his efforts in debate are Of decided
character, the reporter never installing the
side of the question he is on. Save us from
the Cuts of the Senator from Poweshiek.
Senator StuJ5s Of jefferson, must have
been named in burlcsque. He is the tallest
man in either Branch of the Legislature
And as tall as he is, the geniality Of his good
humor and gsntemanly bearing, extends the
whole length. He takes the place in the Sen
ate Of J. +. Wilson, from Jefferson county,
and although he may not be equal to his pre-
decessor in oratory, he is equally useful to
the State and his constituents.
Senator Ross Of Pottawattomie, is the next
IN stature. Were it not for the roof of the
Senate chamber, there would be nothing be-
tween him and Heaven, and it might be said
of him. Us some bad boys said Of good man
of old. He is good man, aud were it not
that he owns 4 cst-tal swamp in the South
west part of the State. would make an excel.
lent Senator. Upon all other subjects he is
sane, re.sopahl.- sea, clear ana seccvmc.

The foreign news is highly important. Den
mark has rejected the ultina0ttna of Austria
and Prussia The Ambassadors of those
powers have left Copenhagen. An army of
&c, 900 Austrians is ready to march at once
for schleswig. Prussia is also making pre-
parations for vigorous measures. Altogether
the aspect is decidedly warlike
Those versed in European affairs, however,
doubt the earnestness of the soyereigns of
Austria and Prussia. The Schleswig- Holstein
question is one that enlists the warmest feel
ings of German nationality. The masses of
the people are thoroughly aroused on the sub
ject The popular excitement is too wide
spread and intense to be safely disregarded.
Such course would lead to revolution. 1t
is believed by many, therefore, that while the
Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia,
from motives of policy will make extensive
demonstrations, that they have no serious in
tention of proceeding to extremities; that
they care little as to the disposition made of
the provinces in dispute and are only acting
with view to their own safety. By putting
themselves at the head of the German forces
they will be able to control them; and to ex-
haust their present enthusiasm and spirit in a
profitless and indecisive campaign. We shall
