like of which Providence has Hot vouch-
safed since the FIRST year oft war2 One
house has been burned; two Thousand head
of cattle brought of, Maj. Gen. Tyler aud
Maj Gen. Franklin were taken prisoners,
and both permitted to escape. Maj. Gen.
Breckinridge has improved the occasion
TO display his fine feelings at old Blair's
house. These are nearly all the results to
be gathered from such accounts as we
have. Let us hope and pray aud trust
that the story still is 'left half untold"
The failure of the great chance at Lynch
burgh was bad enough, but it would be
indeed hard if tEis invasion of a country
emptied of troops should accomplish only
the burning OF house to cool the embers
of John Letcher's dwelling.
REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.
From the Examiner.
AS on previous days the invasion of
Maryland was the subject mostly enga>
ging public attention and interest on
Saturday and yesterday. Saturday even
ing Washington papers were received,
announcing that our forces had with
drawn from before Washington, and were
presumed to be retreating into Virginia
by way of Edwards Ferry, near Lees
burgh. Extracts from theses papers will
be found In another part OF this journal.
From these it will be seen that it was not
certain that our forces had retreated fur
ther than Rockville, which is IN Monts
gomery County Maryland, sixteen miles
northwest of Washington. 1t will also
be observed that the Yankees, up to the
last moment, were in state Of the most
perplexing ignorance as to the strength
Of our army ofinVasiOn.
From gentleman who left Washing
ton last Monday, we learn that the troops
mentioned by us on Saturday as going
up the. Potomac in twenty-four transports,
were Warren,s Corps, estimated at be-
tween ten and twelve thousand men.
GEN. FRANkLIN's ESCAPE
From the Baltimore american of the
evening of the 18th, received here yester-
day we are assured that Gen. Franklin
had been permitted to escape from our
forces.
The criminal carelessness of these men
has allowed to escape prize for whom
the Yankees would willingly have res
turned US Gen. Edward Johnston, or
any other OF our Generals, now expo
sed to fire at Charleston.

Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, said:

he ascribes it to taxation. deny this allie

gentlemen, I challenge the records of our

houses being built in every town and city in
the North, to prove that there never was a
season Of greater prosperity than now. Gaunt
want does stalk through the streets of our
cities. 1t il not begotten of taxation though,
but of intemperance. The hungry wife who

az The Sandusky Register thus aptly
daguerreotypes the essential articles of the
creed Of the new church about being organ
lied in Ohio by such Copperhead saints as
DR.. Odds, Sam. Medary, &C.:
l. No political preaching tolerated-except
for "Peace Democracy"
2. No agitation of the slavery question
except in favor of it.
8. No church action in favor of the war
except war against the Government.
4. No politicians admitted to the church.
except Peace Democrats.
s. 'The Gospel only to be preached-thai
is, the divinity Of slavery, the innocence OF
rebels, and the exceeding wickedness of "ab
olitionists."
6. The salvation of the world" through
faith in Christ except "niggers."
7. Christ came into the world to save sim
ners-"except niggers and abolitionists
8. "Peace and good will to men," especial
ly rebels and traitors, but slavery for mig
gers" and damnation here, and hereafter, to
Black Republicans and War Democrats.
With some amendments, the above might
do for the creed of the Copperhead Church
about to be organized in Iowa. At least one
more article should be added for the benefit
of Chorister Wallace, expungng the SD
Psalm. We commend the above to the con.
sideration of the pious individuals about es-
tablishing the Gospel of slavery and treason
this State.

A HoRRoR.-There has been q horror dis.
covered in Cornwall village poor lunatic
confined by his brother for twenty years in
a room under circumstances of appalling bar
barity. The villagers, accustomed to his
heartrending shrieks and bowls, never inter.
fered, it was none of their business.
Only stranger discovered and delivered the
miserable being, "more resembling bah.
boon than man, drawn and cramped from
long exposure and suffering, out of all form
of humanity, stark naked, and only two old
rotten rags Of a coverlet," the descrip ton of
the room in which he was confined being
loathsome beyond measure Correspondence
Tribune.
This is fact, but 1t might as we'll be an
allegory. Have we not discovered horror
in America? A slave, kept in bondage often
of appalling barbar,ty. always of startling in
Justice" more resembling babboon than a
man." so say the apologists for slavery-with
soul cramped from long suffering, the de-
scription of the system in which he is impris-
oned being loathsome beyond measure. The
parallel does not stop here. Accustomed to
his bowls, the neighbors "never interfered,"
and we actually find men in the North, who
after FANNY KEMB4E has published her
book, after Gen. BUTLER has told his story,
after the enormous crime and misery of
slavery has been published to the world

have learned that that which is horror in
England had long been commonplace in

L. L. Sweet, of this township, had two sons
join the 18th Iowa regiment, one of whom
died near Shiloh soon after the battle. Mr..

another son joined the 9Th cavalry, and now,
George, the only son left that is large enough,
has enlisted to join the 18th regiment. George
IS minor, and had to get his fathers con-
sent before enlisting. It was given in the
following words. Father and sons are now

JEFF. DAVIS AND THE PoPE.-Je6. Davis
has written letter to the Pope and the Pope
has written to jeff. Davis, and curious pair
of letters they are. Davis, in his epistle,
plays new character. On his knees with
uplifted eyes and folded hands he thanks the
most illustrious sovereign Pontiff for his kind
letters to l. John of New York and I. John
Of New Orleans, and assures him with tears
in his eyes and with peculiar JUNCTION that all
the Confederacy want, is peace, for which
they are on their marrowbones daily, and
other such maudlin stuff, with which he
thinks to bamboozle Plus TX. But Plus
knows thing or two. He answers very
curiously and significantly, and with play
full touch of satire assures "the most illustri-
Gus and honorable President that he is real
~ delighted to hear that he wants peace, and
hopes he will get it, but suggests no road to
that event, or any encouragement whatever.
Plus further hopes that the Lord will stop the
great evils which afaict "all the people Of
America" What! stop the great evils which
afhict the negroes, for we suppose they are
= part of the people of America Stop Amer
lean slavery Why, that is the great hinge
upon which the whole trouble turns. Stevens
declares that these negroes are the corner
stone of the Confederacy, and the North pro-
poses by knocking out this corner stone to
topple down the whole rotten concern, and
Plus in his all.embracing benediction, hopes
the Lord will help on the work. 1t is well
prepared dose, and although there was much
sugar round the pill, it must have been bitter
to Davis stomach.

Brief History Of the 9TH Iowa.
The Fl. Madison Plaindsalsr gives the fol-
lowing brief history of the 7th Iowa Infantry,
which will be of interest to the numerous
friends Of that gallant veteran regiment:
The 7th Iowa was mustered into the United
States service at Burlington, on the 25th of
July, 1861; Col. (now GEN. j. G. Lauman
commander. From Burlington the 9TH went

participated in the sanguinary conflict there.
Out Of 4l2 men who went into the engage.
ment 22s fell, either into the rebels hands,
wounded upon the field or sealed their devo-
ton to their country with their life's blood
The Lieutenant Colonel (Wentz) was killed

d. was wounded, and Capt Gale (the pres
ent Captain Of Co. d, then I'd Lieutenant, }

and returned to Corinth after an absence Of
two months. Remained at Corinth, doing
garrison duty about two months. From Cor.
NTH it went to Moscow, Tenn, LAGRANGE
