The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1864-04-02

- A Newspaper correspondent says he
has met with . very intelligent amnesty
oath-taker down in ''Dixie." This fellow
was firm in the belief that Confederate
notes" were cousideEahly above par-in
England. He also knew that the ''Confsd.
eracy" could bring into the field eight hum
dred thousand men this Spring. He also
informed the correspondent, very confden-
italy, that the people Of the North wire in
. starving condition and quite ready to
give up the contest. That il . fair iNustra-
ton Of Southern intelligence. II proves
pretty distinctly what means are made uss
Of by the leaders to instruct the people. and
fire the Southern heart" And these wise
fellows talk Of the ignorance Of the poor
negroes! PAhl ~.

Many Of our readers will be sstonished
to learn that there are now in this city
four hundred paroled Yankee prisoners,
who for causes known to themselves, have
deserted the "Stsrs and Stripes, "renounced
Lincoln's rule, and taken the oath Of allie
glance to the Confederate Government.
Four hundred men, Prims fsoie alien enc
mics because natives Of the land Of wooden
nutmegs and red onions, turned loose in
the very capital Of the Couthern Confede-
racy, and that, too, upon the mere pledge
Of their word Of honor" that they will
not take upsFms against US, or give infor-
nation to our enemies. Some Of them may
be sincere sympsthiEers of the South; but
is 1t not short-sighted policy in the Gov
ernment to take the chance Of having q
Yankee army thus created in our midst
and by our own consent to aid in thus
striking down our csuseH Most Of these
men declare that they fed their country
to escape the Lincoln draft. What are
they TO do here? Are they to be conscript-
ed; and if oonscripted, will they not de-
sert our srmy2- Surely, the man that de-
serts the service Of his own country will
not prove more faithful to that Of his sdop-
ton. If they are L OF to go into the army,
what are they to doR Fill clerkships and
positions Of artisans, and thus be placed in
possession Of all the secrets of the Govern
ment? Surely not.
II the enrolled Yankees now persmbu-
lating the streets Of Richmond were to or
ganiEe for the purpose, they could seize
President Davis, on any night agreed up
on, and before resistance could be made,
esprit him off into the Yankee lines.

The Chronicle tells Congress and the
country what our capital wants:
We should have one, two, five, aye ten
lines Of railroad for the new era which has
dawned en- Washington. The city now In
an especial msnhsr belongs to the nation,
and the people Of every State, of every
town, Of every hamlet, demand Of their
legislative representatives easy, certain
and frequent ability Of egress and ingress
to the capital Of their country. Necessity
has no respect for corporations. We want
su airline railroad to the commercial EN-.
poriun Of the country, New York city, and
tapping Of the Northern Central railroad
Of PennsylVanis at Rockville, Maryland.
When this takes place, peace and plenty
will abound here for the many who make
it their home, and to every one who visits
here. We want q break-water in the Po-
tonac between the Eastern Branch and
the Long Bridge that will give required
depth Of water, ct an outlay Of one hun
dred thousand dollars. One Of the wise
men Of the East, Senator Sumner, has
spoken recently on this subject, and be
RahHhHs '6f seIE IEfnterested parties operate
with him. SO much we want from the
legislative department OF our Government.
And now Of the corporation, with fifty
thousand new residents added to the city,
with increased revenue from local taxa
tion, with new energies and increased cap
itsl, we want new market houses and 8
new drainage system for the entire city

we want q system Of street cleaning daily,
in winter and summer (orgsnized contra-

pose, and will De ohserfully arranged by
the proper su'horihss); we want eel

CsIIfornIs ouieksIIrer Mines.

The title to the Quicksilver mines Of
California, now claimed by the Quicksilver
Mining Company, will be argued in few
days before the Supreme Court Of the
United States. 1t will be remembered
thai ct the last term Of the Court the title
Of the Almsden Mining Company, involv-
ing similar points as 10 the surveys, was
decided in favor Of the United States.
Under this decision the Government took
possession of the property last summer,
and in order to have the mines worked,
rented the same to the Quicksilver Minin 2
Company for 9 Royalty-s portion, per-
haps one-third-of the net profits. By an
arrangement made between the Almsden
and Quicksilver Mining Companies, the
latter was not q competitor for the rent.
ing Of the property. The stock Of the
Quicksilver Mining Company has recently
been increased from So, 600, 900 to SIC, 600,
900. There has been erroneous impress
sions that the Government had given pos
session Of the mines to the Quicksilver
Mining Company.

Grant that its csperings are now as joVial
a. those Of the wild sss. It is in very
hilarious glee with itself, and imsgines it
has turned the political universe upside
down. 1t gives en- inventory Of its con-
quests since 1t went of on this braying ex-
eursicn after Grant
Ths most substantial proof of Its achieve
ments Is seen Ia the way in which 1t
takes its pummelling by what it is pleased,
In glorious self exsltstiOn, to style the
rural press. Il affects to receive the praise
Of General Grants military abilities as an
evidence that the country wants him for
President. Il recites the names of few
notOriOusly COpperhead papers that are
glad to be led about by the Old Satanic.
The truth is the New York Herald is stir
ring an ocean to drown Ay. As the ev-
licences Of Its insbility any longer to give
direction to public sentiment In g. Presi-
Dental campaign increase, it grows more
and more assinias In its brsyiDgs. It is
very indignant with the LEADER becauseit
won't see the exalted virtues and rare
military endowments Of the Grave-dig-
ger Of the Chiokahominy." It is also e1-
essdingly dOnkeyfed because we affirm
that General Grant can't become the can
didSte Of the Copperheads The impudence
Of the Herald is unparalleled and its stu
pidity malicious. The LEADER has not
abandoned Mr.. Lincoln. The extracts
published by It from the columns Of the
Old Satanic were simply to show how
grossly Inconsistent the csurss Of the New
York Herald has been, now for Banks, then
for Mcclellan, then for Lincoln and
last for Grant Let 1t be understood that
General Grant is in favor of the abolition
Of slavery throughout the United States.
II he is made President it will not be due
70 the Heralds caressings and purrings
for what the old bear hugs he kills. It
viii be in spite Of the endesrments Of this
chief Of sinners.

Tbe News on Isuoranos In Ohio.

TIE News on Ignorance In Ohio.
The New York News makes great
many foolish as we'll as reasonable state
msEts. Il has recently attacked the Trib-
une for Masking the statement that more
ignorance prevailed in the slave than in
The free States. We are more particularly
eoueerned with Its attempt to parry the
effect Of the recent overwhelming Union
msiority in the State Of Ohio. 1t says
HThe State Of Ohio, where AbolitiOnism
boasled Of its one hundred thousand ma
jority at the last election, the Census tables
shoW had more Of its white population IN
able to write their names or to read than
had the Southern States Of Arkansas,
Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Mis-
slssippi, combined"
We have been st the trouble Of exsmin-
ing the statistics bearing upon this state
msrt- The white population Of Ohio, &C
cording to the census Of 1850, the one on
WHOM the sbovs Is based, was ,e55,050
The white population Of the rebel States
Of Arkansas, Florida, Texas, South Caro-
lima and Mississippi combined is 9Ss. 7O7
The number Of whites unable to read OF
write, in Ohio, was 6l,OaO. The number
Of whites unable to read or write in these
i've rebel States is 6O,292.
These facts establish positive misstste-
nsnt Of the case.
But the news is very careful to conceal
the fact that the white population Of Ohio
was more than twice as great as in all
those States. So that even on The bssis Of
white population, there are two unable TO
read in the i've States selected by the News
70 one in the loyal State Of Ohio. More
over, this prepOnderatig ignorance Of the
South is chiefly native bOrni it Is in fsmi-
lies Of mean whites whose ancestors were
like them. Our Northern ignorance is
almost wholly imported from EurOpei very
few children Of immigrants can read or
write. Throw aside this imported igno-
rance and there are ten native Americans
In Ohio who read and write, to one in The
States Of Arkansas, South Carolina, Flor
ida, Texas and Mississippi.
The OOpperhead apOlOgist for Southern
ignorance also omits to tell US how many
Of the $50, $50 slaves in these States read
or write. These are legally doomed to
ignoranee-it being crime to teach them
the art Of reading or writing. This cum
ming but atrOcious generalization of facts
by the News is neither manly nor cOnYinc-
ing.
Another fact is this: In the State Of
Ohio, the party which affects TO be Dems-
cratic, received four-hfths Of all the votes
cast by men unable to rssd or write. In
those districts the mOst notOriously igno-
rant, there Vallandigbam got his heaviest
vote. Ths Reserve, whose intelligence
and general education averages as high as
any equal population, gave half Of the
States majority for BrOugh.
When the Woods organ attempts another
plea for barbarism in the South and defeat
at home, letitbe little more honest and
candid in its statements.

It is the intention Of the War Department
to conscript all able bodied persons, with

appraised Of a coming invasion by friends

sympathizers receiving letters advising
them to sell all except real estate, and
hold themselves il readiness to Join the
army Of liberation.
In rebel caucus Of the members Of
Congress, it was determined to give up all
coast defence rather than Kentucky and
Tennessee.
"If they prove able to drive Grant from
his stronghold, it will, they believe, pro-

North, give them strength in Europe and
cause depression throughout the land.
We do not anticipate this result, but give
