:. Confederate Cause i'm the Northwest

"Confederate Cause I'm the Northwest
Under the above head the Atlanta Ap-
peal copies from the Mobile advertiser
ter from a lady in Dubuque to her bro
ther in the rebel army. The Mobile
editor says he "takes pleasure in
making it public" So do we. In mer-
cy to its misguided authoress, however,
we suppress her name:
lsts DUBUQUE, Iowa, April a. 1854.
MY DEAR BROTHER oh, how long for the
day to arrive when hOstilities will cease, and
the Southern Confederacy will be crowned with
the glorious wreath of victory, having achieved
their Independence and secured themselves
from the Yankee tyrants! pray fervently that
for God is with them and they must succeed:
If were in the south, would make clothing
for the soldiers. wish l were near you, for
know could aid in making you comfortable
1t is needless for me to say to you to be cheerful
| amid all the privat ions and hardships you have
to undergo; for a knowledge OF. the holiness Of
the cause in which you are engaged Is sufficient
! to silence the cry of complaint or dissatisfac-
ton.
The South's all is at stake! Never-never give
up to be slaves to the Northern despots. My
heart throbs in anxious expectations Of the
happy results of this springs campaign. VictO-
ry must be yours! The noble soldiers of the
south cannot be permitted by an almighty. mer-
ciful, and just God to spill their blood much
longer, fighting with the worthless scum of the
North.
How many hearts the hateful abolitonist
have made to bleed! cannot bear to look at
one of them. much less to speak to them
a call was made through the papers for the
Catholic ladies to meet at one of the public
| school houses to adopt measures to collect means
and take tables at the Sanitary Fair; but, thank
God only seven Catholic ladies in D atten-
ded it. Three cheers for the Catholic ladies OF
D! true to principle, to justice and the
Constitution framed by the wisest and best OF
men. If the ladies of D. could WELD the
governing scepter, peace would soon smile upon
| the land now desolated by the most unhOly
war.
do love to hear you speak so hopefully, and
sangu1ne OF success-but why should any one
feel or speak otherwise? feel so, too, and ii I
were a man would be at your side, battling for
| the homes, the firesidos and the affairs of the
lSouth-abOve all, for DEAR sacred liberty.
YOUR SISTER.
We copy the foregoing from the Du-
buque Times of the 22d. The letter is
by no means remarkable. We publish it
only to show our readers that the rebels
have some contemplate friends in Iowa.
Well wager hat that the male rela-
tives of the lady (?) who wrote that let
ter all vote the Democratic ticket
Wouldn't it be a pious notion to give
her an early opportunity to goand make
clothing for the soldiers ? Nice female,
that. We wonder if she ever writes
poetry for the Herald?

being intimated to him that lady of

A new paper has been started at Salt
Lake City called the Daily Telegraph.
It is business sheet, but goes for "Old
Abe."o 1t says Of Fremont: "It is not
doubtful that should Fremont by any
freak of fortune attain the object of his
ambition, he will make things or break
them, one or the other, and we have
learned nothing of his character in life
to assure us that the chances do not
greatly preponderate to the latter"

BeAe McROberts, a private in the 10th
Iowa veteran regiment, who, without
justification, shot a negro in Des MOines,
some three weeks since, has been re-
manded by Judge Cole, Of the Supreme
Court, back to the custody of the Sheriff
of Polk county. Major Lusby had sued
out a writ Of habe0s corpus on the ground
that McRoberts, being in the military
service, was properly triable by court
martial. Judge Cole remanded the pris-
oner to the Sheriff's custody on the
ground that he was not under the i'm
mediate jurisdiction and control OF the
military authorities of the United States
at the time of the murder.
This will undoubtedly settle the case
of member of the same regiment who
shot Mr.. Watrous, at Blairstown, few
days since. Let these men have fair
trial and their comrades in arms be Civ.
en- to understand that the people of the
North have not lost their estimate of the
value of human life. Our laws must be
indicated. Shooting is justifiable only
in self-defense, and must not be carried
on with that freedom that characterizes
the battlefield. We regret that any of
the brave defenders of our flag should
have become so regardless of our laws
and so reckless of human life as to lead
them into trouble. May the past be
beacon-lights for the future, and let our
soldier friends avoid the breakers.

be- Those who are accustomed to re-
gard President Lincoln as wanting in
pluck and devoid of purpose, except
scheming for another four years term,
will do well to reflect upon his proclaim
alton, just issued, calling for soldiers,
and prescribing draft forgetting them.
A drafts not a popular idea, and Pres
idential canvass is the exact time when
its unpopularity can be put to use. None
but brrve man-none but a morally
brave man-would have uttered such a
proclamation now. That he knew and
felt that it would diminish the chances
of his election, and might even put it in
hazard, is we'll known. But now is the
time to call for soldiers, and the Presi-
lent did his duty. Yet how many ex-
cuses could he have found for postpon-
ing It; and how many Qualifications,
such as are common, for the postpone
ment. This act of his ought not to be
overlooked.
