G8>There is only one test of patriotism.
The purposes Of men, the aims offactions
are not determined by what they profess,
but by what they do. There is no other in.
teligible guide for our confidence and
trust. Professions are invariably made to
deceive and celude. There il no better ey-
idence Of . wrong intent than loud protes-
tations ola right one. Those who really
mean to do thier duty as it should be done,
never think OF making proclamation of
their virtues. Their actions speak for them.
There is no need Of other language to de-
monstrate their sincerity and fidelity

fidelity to the Union, Of love for the Union
In the last twenty years, are now to be

and set up an absolute despotism in its

So hhas been since the world began, and
so it viii be to the end. In the name Of
Liberty men are made slaves. Despots
acquire their power from those they en-
slave, and those who suffer most from the
despotism, are those who chiefly support
it. All this il because men willnot believe

1The 16sth and l7lst Ohio regiments,
(hundred day men), which were captured
by Morgan at Cynthiana, were not taken
together, or without a gallant resistance
The l6sth was breakfasting when Morgan,
with some three thousand men, drove in
their pickets. They sprung to arms at
once, and made the best defense possible,
but they were not enough. Afterwards,
the Hist came up, under General Hohson,
and this regiment, being assailed by the
whole rebel force, was also compelled to
surrender, after brief but courageous &C.
tense. Neither regiment had ever seen a
battle before, But both acquitted them
selves like men and patriots, in the face Of
overwhelming numbers. We think they
deserve honorable mention, and next time
they meet the rebels in arms, we guess they
will feel very much like veterans.

~ The Chicago Journal has dispatch
from Carlo of the 14th, which states tina,
an expidetion sent out from Memphis, by
order of General Mcpherson, consisting Of
5000 cavalry and 5000 infantry, with twelve
cannon, under command Of Brig. Gen.
Sturgis, encountered an overwhelming
rebel force, at Guntown, Miss, on the
10th inst, and was badly beaten. Sturgis
destroyed most of his artillery, large
portion of his infantry was captured, and
with the remnant he got back as far as
Collierville. Gems. Polk and Forest are
said to have commanded the rebels. Il
this report is correct there is serious blum.
der to answer for. Gen. Mcpherson made
q sad mistake when he sent out an expedi.
ton pnder Sturgis. He has done nothing
but demonstrate his inefficiency since the
war begun. Gen. Mcpherson ought to have
found it out before this.

At an adjourned meeting of the WOO,

ISOLATION Tor mutual improvement in the

solved that the proceedings Of this meet.
ing and the proceedings Of the meeting At
Mt. Pleasant, together with the constitu-
ton, be published in phamphlet form, for

lation.
DR.. J. NJ. Shaffer was then introduced

neat elaborate manner, showing clearly
the great importance Of Wool Growing

Iowa can and will be great Wool Grow
ing State. The Association would mater
ally assist in furthering its progress, and
should be encouraged by all Wool Grow

Iowa, June II. 1864, by the citizens Of a part

R-The ''secesh" down in New Orleans
are said to be extremely jolly over the
nomination of Fremont! So are some OF
the most foolish Copperheads in the North.
We wonder If that is what the "Radicai
Democracy" are striving fort Ifthey are
seeking to delight the rebels and their
friends, and have succeeded in doing it,
does that portend any good to the Union?
Are rebels and traitors apt to be pleased
when the stars 60 up and the traitors have
. prospect of going down? 1t is singular
that the Cleveland Mass Meeting of Rad
icals-for whom Lincoln is not enough a
Union man, should have the remarkable
result Of delighting men who are the ac-
enemies of the Union! But
this is queer world, filed with queer peo-
pie. Yet we confess these results of the
RADICAL Convention seem to us queer
est Of all. II delights traitors! Won't it
be we'll for tho Radicals to consider what
this means?

Gus to devise means, in concert with Eng

age in this country! Tia. meek and spot
less soul Of his is hourly bleeding tears Of
agony, no doubt, over the waste of life, the
ceaseless battles, going on in America! He
is narrowed with the deepest woeswhen he
contemplates the scene OF blood here ex-
posed to his view! What ''peace-society"
man1he is, to be sure! It was q singular
coincidence that the same dispatches which
informed Us Of his humane interest in our
affairs, also brought US an illustration OF
his hatred Of war. His soldiers are in
Mexico seeking TO set UP new govern
ment by force. They profess, like the reb-
ELS, 20 be civilized. Like the rebels, too,
they prove they are civilized by cutting the
threats Of captured unresisting men, and
other still more horrible enormities. II
was fitting that French barbarities in Mex
leo should be heralded at the same mo-
ment with the announcement Of the En-
peror's kind care for our welfare and his
hearty abomination Of the "frightful earn
age" of war. The one illustrates the ma
ture and value OF the other. 1t aptly in
forms Us Of the character OF all despots and
of their settled conviction that "blood let
ting is altogether Kingly prerogative.-
AL their wars are right. The wars Of a
Republic are necessarily wrong. France
has an indubitable RICH. to murder as
many Mexicans as she chooses to sc; up a
mockery Of an Emperor. We have no
right to subdue our own rebels. That is
trenching on the privileges Of despots!-
What an insolence the scoundrels have
VIXEN they talk Of humanity and the de-
lights Of peace. We bide our time. But
we think the day is not distant when the
whole gang will have to submit to having
it all crammed down their lying throats.- :
There will be some plain talking to them
as soon as we have leisure to attend to their
execrable impertinences.
~ Mr.. John P. Hale has now positive
leave to stay at home. His career is ended.
The public have made up their minds to
do without his valuable services hereafter.
How ungratesul are Republics! They ac-
tually repudiate an old public servant
because he has proved unworthy! Isn't It
too bad? What an object Of commiseration

lesson to those he leaves, quite a number
of whom could 60 with him without dam.

was disgrace to the Navy. She was Ia
ken by surprise, which seems to have oeen
complete. What sort of q COMMANDER ana
other officers it had-whether they were
mere idiots or something worse-we can
not decide. But this needless sacrifice OF
fine and fast vessel is an outrage on the
reputation Of our naval officers, which the
better class of them will be anxious to wipe
out. A surprise on land or water always
means incompetency. The officers who
were made prisoners by it, deserve no bet
ter fate. That is but moderate present
punishment. It should be followed up,
whenever they are exchanged, by Court
Martial and summary and disgraceful dis
missal from the service. We don't know
but that is too mild. In England, the
who should lose vessel in
that way, would be hung or shot. They
expect their officers to always do their du-
ty. Why shouldn't we look for as much?
