a Draft ill Iowa.

Gov. Stone received dispatch from
the War Department last evening, say
ing that draft would be ordered imme-
diately for this State, in all the sub
districts which are deficient under the
three years calls, unless he should object
to such course. The Governor replied
that until other States should fill their
quotas, he could not favor a draft in this
State for three years men, and did not
think it would be just, unless we should
fail to furnish our full number of hun
dred day men. In case of failure, then
he should favor draft.
It will be seen from this that we are
not yet out of danger of compulsory
measures to raise troops, and as the Gov
ernor has presented the only terms upon
which we can escape the necessity, let
us go to work promptly, and fill the
hundred days quota.-Desnoines Reg,

quarters the first thing was to offer you
something TO drink. 1t was thought you
did not treat him with proper respect if
you did not. I fell into the habit. I
drank whisky and offered it to others.
When was stationed at Florida I once
offered whisky to an officer and he de-
clined. [ urged him to drink and he
drank. A short time after I attended
him in the horrors of delirium tremens,

wicked, and that never would do it
again and have not. ] do not keep it

p@ A correspondent in Grants army
says that about :, 900 rebel prisoners Were
marched past a portion of the negro
troops of Burnside's corps. 1t was
amusing to hear the negroes inquire,
jestingly, "How is you, boss ? Mighty
good ting we didn't cotch. you; we
would never tuck We pris'ners." The
prisoners became infuriated, and begged
to have their will of the negroes five
minutes. Remember Fort Pillow"
the negroes would urge. '.We'u cut
your black throats," was the threat of
the others. Thus the two races reviled
each other. The master was prisoner
the bondman free, and soldier.

FLED FROM THE CITY.-The Daven-
port Democrat says man named Cart
wright, of Brighton, Iowa, made affida-
Wit before a Davenport magistrate, few
days since, that he was robbed of $175
in cash on the streets of that city. Two
men were arrested on the charge, but in
the meantime Cartwright fled for his
home, having been told that his life was
in danger in that modern Sodom. An
officer brought him back, in order to
prosecute the trial. The result has not
yet been announced. The Democrat
hints. that Cartwright has got himself
into scrape. Quite likely.
nay In the Methodist General Confer
ence at Philadelphia, on the 9th instant,
the question regarding the extension of
the time of pastoral service for a longer
period than two years was tested by a
vote on a motion which was made to re-
fer the subject to Committee for con-
sideration, which was laid upon the
table by a vote of 1873 to 40. Subsequent
ly, motion to refer the consideration of
the propriety of the Bishop appointing
pastor to the same church for three
years, with the concurrence of the An
nual Conference, was referred. So the
question is not finally disposed of. rs

reinforced from the South, even if he had

One of the officers in HUNTERS command
\ in the late Lynchburg expedition, Colonel
CATHcART, publishes a card excusing Gen.
HUNTERS burglarious removal Of the statue
of GEORGE WASHINGTON, and places 1t on
the ground that the statue ''was In the
hands of degenerate sons of worthy sires'
who had no business with it," A bad ex-
cuse is better than none, it is said, but upon
the same ground that the theft OF this statue
is justified, General HUNTER might be ex-
cused for digging into the Virginia grave
yards, stealing the bones of WASHINGTON
or JEFFERSON and retailing them by piece
meaLas curiosities. The.one enterprise is
fully as noble and laudable as the other.
Gen. HUNTER suppressed several papers in
Virginia for publishing the fact that he pill
fered the statue of WASHINGTON, but he is
mistaken if he expects by that means, or
by means of published excuses, to ward of
from himself the scorn and contempt, which
through all time will be fixed unmovingly
upon him.

Ponce and Union.

The editor of The Crisis prints few SEN
tences of the speech of Hon. SAMUEL 5. Cox,
delivered at the meeting on Saturday night
from which his readers can gain but an i'm
perfect idea of the points made. Mr.. Cox
argued that it was not necessary to have an
armistice to Open negotiations. Is not that
true? 1t may be desirable to have an ar
mistice and preserve firm military posi-
ton while it lasts; but Illustrations are nu-
merous of peace attained while war was
fragrant. MEDARY intimates that Mr.. Cox
would not favor National Convention,
while the truth islhe has always favored
il, having spoken and voted for it, as the
only means permanently to reconcile the
States. Negotiations should have such
a Convention in view. The war, since
the proclamation of emancipation, and
especially since the Niagara develop
ments, is indefensible; but to yield the
Union, is equally indefensible. IfPeaee and
Union can be attained, why not strive for
both? Does MEDARY favor Peace and Dis
union?
Let Democrats stand by the Union while
there is any Hope whatever-for thus they
can obtain the control of the Government
and conclude Union Peace. But to that
end, it is not necessary to yield up the mil7
itary position-for that would bring peace
perhaps, but with it, Disunion. military
advantages" already attained, ''physical
strength" already displayed-are indispen-
sable to securing us against Disunion. To
yield those, would be to give up the Union.
Democrats who love the Government-not
Government in the shoddy sense-and its
old associations, cannot consent to that.
The unity of our great party is not so
hard to be secured, if Democrats will not
persist in misrepresenting one another.

GrumbIing.

Grumblers have suddenly increased in
number, since the call for Five Hundred
Thousand more men. Some grumble at
the form of the Proclamation-asser
that it is frigid, business-like document;
others at its spirit-that it has no heart, no
sympathy, no feeling for the suffering peo-
pie. Another class of grumblers accuse
the Government of deception-that, where
as, at the beginning of the war, it was given
out from high places, that the rebellion
would be crushed in ninety days, we are
now in its fourth year. and the end not yet
in sight.-CleUeldnd Herald.
The Herald states the case clearly and for
chilly, and we submit that all the grumblers
above enumerated, have better cause for
grumbling than ever grumblers had before.
We are being metamorphosed into nation
of grumblers. The only policy the Ad-
ministration has, seems to be sy stem Of
petty annoyances, trifing prosecutions, pro-
voking orders and aggravating expressions,
which serve to make the nation restless, i'm
patient and grumbling. ''The Govern
ment," as we have come to understand it
under this Administration, is the exercise
of great power for petty purpose, giants
strength united to q musquito's object, the
thunders of Joye levelled to crush hospi-
= tai, the great name of Liberty conscripted
into the service of Despotism, remarkable
only for its subserviency to the strong and
its merciless cruelty to the weak. Serum
bling" Is soft and milky term by which tc
designate the universal impatience, the
widespread disaffection, and the popular
contempt elected by the frenzied and fanati
cal stupidity and misrule Of The Govern
ment.

full than HUNTER, and no man is better quail
