CoMIso OgRR.-0ur exchanges are full OF
cheer from oil parts. Men who have taken no
part in the elections for years. are coming out
for Lincoln and johnson. Newspapers hereto
fore neutral or independent, are hoisiing the
banner. The following is taken from the Ian
caster (Pa) EVsnmg EIPrtss:
at is only upon extraordinary occasions that
we place ticket at the head u our editorial
columns. We regard the impending President
ial election az such an occasIon-One which de.
mands the unequivocal support " every indie

otic citizen The E1press, although entirely u-
dependent Of all party organizations, is au organ
Of the principles of the great National Union
party, whose mission is to wrest the nation
from the peril into which it was plunged by the
traitors who had secured control OF the Govern
ment under the last Democratic administration.
The men whose names appear at thB head Of this
column we have accepted and fully endorsed as
the representatives, OF these principles We
therefore nail tho National and County Union
tickets to our masthead, where they will remain
until the candidates are triumphantly elected by
a loyal and patriotic people.

There seems to be but little doubt that
the reign Of high prices inaugurAted and
kept up by spectators and Copperheads,
to weary loyal hearts, is about at an end.
At least we are confident that the worst is
past and that continued improvement in this
respect may be confidently looked for. 1t
is an easy thing to put up prices. 1t can be
done by the combination Of few specula-
tors. But there is certain law which will
in the end control the prices. viz Where
the supply is greater than the demand prices
must fall. This is inevitable. Moreover,
when high prices which have been long e1tort-
ed from the consumer, begin to come down,
they generally tumble like an avalanch.
We already see this consummation so de-
voutly to be wished for. beginning to be re-
allied. Gold has tumbled from $3.50 to
Sl.90. Hence all foreign goods are down
Tor ought to be,) to prices about one-third
less than they have been, and people should
not pay any more. Storekeepers who have
stocks of goods on hand will do we'll to get
of their surplus at anything like remunerat
ing prices, for the lowest notch in price,
will not be reached until gold reaches some
thing near the old figures. Let us look a

FLAG FOR THE TH1nD pnLAwAnE


We are pleased to learn that an effort is
being made to procure new stand of colors
Tor the gallant Third Delaware. When the
Regiment was formed Major General Henry
DUPONT, presented it with battle.aag,
which the brave men have carried through
the sanguinary conflicts of Harper's Ferry,
Va, May %, 1852; Sulphur Springs, Au-.
gust, 1852 Chantilly, Va, Sept. l, 1852 ;
Autietam, Md, Sept. II, 1852; Shady

1864; and Weldon Railroad, August 18th,
10Th, goth and 2lst, 1864. In these en-.
gagements it has becsme completely riddled
by the balls of the enemy, and torn by the
usage OF war, until now only remnant is
left of it. A short time since meeting was
held by the officers and men at which il was
resolved, that the tattersd ensign be return,
ed to the donor. In compliance with thi.
decision, Lieut.. Manuel Eyre, Jr, Adjutsnt
OF the Regiment, forwarded it to General
DUPONT. who will treasure it as a memeutC
of the noble deeds of valor performed by th,
heroic sons Of Delaware in behalf of our i'm
psrillsd country.
number of prominent gentlemen have
undertaken the patriotic labor Of providing
them with new flag, aud our citisens vii
be waited GU in few days for subscription,
for that object. We hope the Iowa
and union-loving citizens of our little com
mon"eAlth will respond promptly and liber

STRENGTH OF LEES Army.

A Confederate Captain who after three yoars
Of SERVICE left the Rebel ranks and came into
our lines, called upon us yesterday morning
He confirms the fact that the people Of the South
are utterly destitute aud most Of them heartily
sick of the Rebellion. Lees army, he says,
was, a month ago from $4,000 to 10000
strong, including the whole Of Earlys command
Lee is tho only General in whom the Southern
people now oonfle all the others they distrust
aud fear. But his army is full of dsaffeotea
men, more especially the Georgians. sinoe tho
fall Of Atlanta, who want to go home and look
after their families, now that the Union army
has penetrated to the heart Of the South. Those
men desert to our side, or skulk Oft southwark
at every opportunity Our correspondent says,
unless thore s favorable change in the Rebel
prospects, such as tho defeat OF Grant or the
election OF Mcclellan (aud the leaders count
greatly upon tho latter as sure to he followed
by peace und indepeudence), the C. 8 A. will
soon tumble to pieces, from sheer weaknOsa and
exhaustion. The hope Of the enemy ln McCle-
lans success is one.baf the strengthen Lees army.
