| ne Charles Mason, who is pretty wei
known in this latitude, chairman OF the
resident Democratic Committee at Wash
ington, whose Copperhead Examinations
during the campaign greatly helped thu
Republican cause, has issued closing ad'
dress, in which he impudently assumes
that the Democrats have right to under
take Northern revolution, but exhorti
them to polite forbearance. He says
ssThere has been no honest decision against
us-none to which we could be justly re.
quired to submit were not the consequen'
ces Of resistance 20 momentous. But de-
termined opposition on our part would IN.
volve the lighting up of civil war in our
very midst, with the odds most fearfully
against us. Let US show our allegiance tc
the laws by quiet submission to their au-
thority, though satisfied that their sover-
eign command has been extorted by fear OF
obtained by fraud. It is better to suffer too
long than to exercise resistance too soon.
Mr.. Mason can Exercise resistance as
soon as he pleases, but nothing can be more
problematical than his longevity. as Ma
cawber says, if he, in conjunction with his
coaJreres in treason, atternpts.by force to
violate the laws and makes war upon the
legitimate authorities of the country. He
will not be troubled if he behaves himself,
ifhe does not he will pay the penalty OF his
criminality and folly.
SOLDIERS FAIR IN CHIcAGo.-We OBJ

western Sanitary Commission Of Chicago,

sires it for the benefit of the Fair. II church.
ss, aid societies, communities or individu-
ais, prefer working at home, giving con-
certs, dinners, tableaux, festivals, &C., for
the benefit Of the Fair. they shall be res
pectively credited with the amounts thus
donated. As long as the war continues it
will be necessary for the friends of the
cause at home 10 do all they can 10 mitigate
he sufierings of our sick and wounded SOL
Tiers, and to this end enterprises like this
must be encouraged and upheld. Iowa has
never yet been backward in her duty, and
we presume this fresh call upon her iber-
Atty will be generously responded to. All
articles intended for the Fair should be

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE.

Va Hoods rebel army was at last advf-
ces on the move eastward from Florence
Ala. Our forces evacuated Pulaski and
Huntsville, and were concentrating at CO.
lumbia and Nashville. 1t is supposed that
Hood is moving for East Tennessee to form
q junction with Breckenridge, but the more
probable object is to march into Georgia,
in accordance with Beauregard's promise
in his dispatch to the people of that State
to come to their help against Sherman
Generals Thomas aud A. J. Smith have
troops enough to keep the rebels in check
in Middle Tennessee, and perhaps to en-
gage and defeat Hood.

ual will be drawn. 1t is the personal in
terest of every enrolled man that the quota
in which lie is concerned shall. not be made
too large, and that his own chances for
draft shall not be unjustly increased; both
These objects will be attained, ii all parties
will aid in striking out the wrong names
and putting in the right ones. Especially
Is this the interest of those drafted men
who by putting in substitutes themselves
liable to draft have secured exemption
which by the terms of the law holds good
only until the present enrolment Is ex-
hausted In their sub-districts. Men who
are over Is years OF age, and in consequence
excused by law from the performance Of
duty in the field, owe 1t to the cause and to
the country, to take Jealous and active
part In the correction of the enrolment
lists, military service of the first imE o.
tance.
Thelaw requires that quotas shall be as
signed in proportion to the enrolment,
and the fairness and justice Of this mode
OF determining the amount of military SER
vice due from each and every section of the
country cannot be doubted it the enroll
ment Is made as nearly perfect as it is
practicable to make it. The amount of SER
vice due to the nation from every town or
county is thus laid fairly and plainly be-
fore the citizens, and / am sure that
higher motive than selfish interest will
prompt all to do their share In perfecting
the enrolment and securing just and
efficient execution Of the laws for raising
troops whenever it becomes necessary to
supply them. The subject should receive
the attention of town, precinct and ward
meetings, and committees.
The citizens of the State are particularly
requested to notify and furnish evidence to
the A. A. Provost Marshal General Of this
State. and all District Provost Marsha!s,
and all special officers employed under
them and all boards of enrolment Of all
information relative to death, changes Of
residences, enlistment, or other causes
which affect the enrolment.

Adiutarlt General OF Iowa.

over q. 900, while a large number had been
held over from Saturday and Sunday; 80
there could not have been less than sc. 900
hogs In the pens uasold yesterday. This,
taken In connection with tight money
market, and the warm weather it made a
sorry time Of it for drovers, and naturally
enough prices declined. The falling Of

Edgar, arrived this morning from City Point,
with the mails and passengers. She reports
that affairs are unchanged at the front, the
several corps occupying their usual positions.
There is some little cannonading at times, inter.
spersed with an occasional discharge Of mus.
kerry. The soldiers generally think that some
thing will turn up speedily, ana are confident
that the "Cockade City" and Richmond, one or
both, will s'go UNDER on the occasion Of the
next move.
The Morgan brought up batch OF thirty
rebel deserters who have come within our
lines during the past week. They represent
the same state OF things In the Oonfederacy
as has heretofore been reported-soarcity and
high prices Of provisions, dissatisfaction among
the soldiers, &c. They say also that the Con.
federate soldiers who are daily coming into
our lines are not the only ones deserving the
cause; that many are leaving the army and
going back to their homes, they being satisfied
that the rebel leaders are 80 closely occupied
around Richmond in Georgia and other places,
that they cannot SPAR men to look up stray
gJers and daserters. These deserters were in
