The following call has Just been issued: ''9-
"All of Democratic faith, who retain their re-
spect for the manhood and patriotism which an
imated the Democratic party IN the days of
jackson; who will not consent that the cher
ished name and principles of that party be dis
graced; who cannot endure the shame of seeing
their countrys flag lowered TO a ,ottering foe,
ever ready to tTample it in the dust; who deny
that the American Democracy was fairly repre-
sented at Chicago by the few, who, by threats
of Northwestern revolt forced upon the Con-
vention the degrading concession, that the war;
50 nObly fought by our brave army and navy
was failure and that justice, humanity, liber-
ty and the public welfare demand that immedi-'
ate efforts be made for cessation of hostlities,
who believe that the immediate cessation of
hestilities' should begin with southern traitors
and not with northern patriots; who believe
that we should first exhaust the rebel armies,
before we attempt 'to exhaust all the resources
Of statesmanship;' who insist that the Union
must be preserved at all hazards and are de-
termined TO preserve it whole and entire at any
sacrifice and against all attacks from whatever

Harvest, Crops, ete.-The harvest Of small

the chinch bugs the Cedar Valley, SO far as
we are informed, has been particularly bless.

from the College Farm, in Story county, re-
ports great loss to the farmers along the Mar.

He saw many ruined fields. In that region
the bug is now at work in the corn, but that
crop though il may suffer, cannot be utterly
annihilated by this pest. Oats, everywhere,
are represented to be an excellent crop Po-
tatoes, hereabouts, are being ruined by
worms. Every potato patch we have seen in
q. town is yellow with them, and they are rap
idly stripping the vines of every leaf and
shoot. Very few potatoes, from present ap-
pearances, will be harvested On the whole,
farmers here have reason 10 be thankful; but

Something about Sanitary--We had on
Tuesday the pleasure of conversation with
/ Mr.. FEEpERICK JACOBS, Of Co. B, Thirty first
Iowa, who is at home on furlough, having
been wounded at Dallas, Georgia on the eth
Of May. Mr.. JACOBS was seriously wounded
by ball entering the left corner Of his mouth
and coming out below the jaw. Reports
were for time that he would never recover
but now in all probability he will got CON-
paratively well, though we doubt his ever
again being cit for the military service, with
its attendant hard tack and tough beef He
was in hospital at Barton Iron Works, about
fifteen miles from Dallas, until July Eth,
when he procured furlough and started
homeward, arriving here on the 23d ult-
From the time he was wounded till his arri-
val home he was supported by the Sanitary
Commission, he being entirely out Of money
and wholly dependent for his subsistence
and transportation. At the hospital where
he was, he says Sanitary stores were abund,
ant, and the agent Of the Commission there,
Mrs. BicKERDYEE, was untiring in her labors
for the welfare Of the soldiers. at times
there were as many as six hundred patients,
and they all were nursed and provided for
! by the Sanitary Commission. In his jour
ney home, distance Of over fifteen hundred
miles, and occupying six days, he was trans.
ported "without money and without price"
and all his wants supplied by the Sanitary
/ Commission. His wants were even antici-
pated, and he had nothing to ask for. At
the stations south of Nashville, where The
train stopped. there were always in readiness
hot tea. and coffee, and everything that could
be required for nourshment from the simp-
lest delicacies to the most hearty and sub
stantial food. 1t was matter Of surprise to
Mr. JACOBS how these things could he always

due need OF praise to the Sanitary CommiS.
sion whenever and wherever he has occasion
to speak in reference to his experience as a
soldier. Bear in mind that he is from the
front of Gen. SHEaaAN's army, and that his
testimony of the Sanitary Commission is
taken from tic front. The Commission goes
hand in hand, says he, with the army, ad-
vancing when it advances, and cares for the
sick and wounded brave ones, even as at
home they would be cared for. How is it
that men, men protesting humanity and
christianity, can place themselves a s!umb-
! ling block in the way Of the noble work Of
the Sanitary Commission Aud how is it,
that men Of honor and mind can be deceived
in reference to it by the Vaccinations Of de
signing scamps! All there are none so
deaf as those who will not hear none so
blind as those who will not see.

New YoRK, November g.
The New Yori, 1ribune's correspondent
on the left of the Army of the Potomac, UNI

angle of mile and helf southwest that
was acquired on our left by the recent dem

Immediately pushed out to the left two OF
three miles beyond its present terlninus.-
The way this important extension of our
fortified line came to be so easily made was
by the enelny's weakening their lines CT bat
tie at this point. to intercept what they took
to be flank movement around their ex-
treme right. While they were massing
against the I'd and 9Th Corps on our. ex-
treme left, the ninth Corps showed in at this
point, and took line of their works, which
was reversed, and now forms our left
angle. Probably not during the war has
SO important an extension of fortified
line been made with so little fighting. It
is true that there was a considerable march
ing and countermarching in the operation,
but that was mere frolic for the boys, who
had been confined so long in camp.
''This, like every other movement recent

Court Square,"a beautiful park in the

the magnolia und other trees shrubs and
flowers, which flourish in southern cline.
The park is truly resort for the lovers of
beauty and pleasure. Nearly in the centre
of this park beneath the shadows of wide
spreading oak stands a marble monument
surmounted by a life-sized bust, of the same
material of Gen. Andrew jackson. This IS
inclosed by beautifully wrought iron fence
and contiguous to it on the inside is beau
tiful hedge. On one side of the monument
is this inscription, .'The Federal Union, it
must be preserved This was an utterance
of that departed patriot. Some six weeks
before the rebellion broke out, two men, one
with a malIet and cold chisel, the other
With a pistol to defend the perpetrator Of
the traitorous deed, undertook to erase that
inscription from the monument that there
might be as little as possible in that city OF
traitors, to upbraid the conscience and re-
buke treason. They were interfered with
yet they succeeded in marring, but did moi
erase the inscription. 1t still remains anc

to destroy the Union. They have succeed

tors shall be dead and forgotten or reniein

On the other side of that monument il

country's glory" When the war is over
when the Federal Union shall have becom,
safe against foul treason, what motto othe
than this, or better, will a grateful people
be more, ready to inscribe on the toomb
stones of those who have fought and died tt

words more aptly express the feelings which
the people will award to those soldiers VIII,
