~ n private letter written Oh board the
New lronsides i'll Charleston harbor, on
Jan. 10th, says that vessel has been struck
nine hundred times, by rebel cannon shot,
but stu floats terror to the traitors. The
writer asserts that the Union Navy are
quite ready to gobble up all the rams, &C.,
the rebels can bring out, but he fails to ex-
plain why it does not ego in" and clean
out the harbor, if it cannot clean out the
forts. Those fabulous Instructions seem to
be in the way still, and nothing is done
there except what Gilmore does with his
big guns. Dahlgren don't seem to be anx-
ious to do much more than guard the en-
trance. That seems to be an admission
that he thinks himself unable.

seems that the Government has discovered
the kindness of the Canadians in furnish

at the roots. They can't get anthracite
coal except from us. If the Canadians
want it hereafter they will have to stop

A,ds- The Chicago Jo0rnal i, ve.y much
afraid that the Iowa Legislature WI. re-
sumo its grant Of lands TO the railroad com
panles on account Of their failure to per-
iorm their contracts. 1t will fail. we Judge.
In convincing any one that these con- panies
are entitled to any tender regard from the
citizens OF Iowa or its Legislature. II anv
OF them have ever adhered to thei. con-
tarcts, either with the State or other corpor-
ate. bodies, we confess we have not heard Of
it. We think it about time they were made
to toe the mark. The State and the people
have been liberal to them. In return there
has been nothing but studious efforts to
avoid all their obligations. They even re-
iuse TO pay taxes on their property. We
dont see why these corpo rations should
not fulfill their contract, or paw the forS-
lures as well as private persons.
We do not know the precise condition OF
the Land Grants, nor what is the lega! ef-
feet OF past legislation On the subject. We
would not have the State do any Of these
Corporations any injustice. But we are
quite satisfied that the only way TO treat
them is to make them live up to the let
ter OF their contracts. and to be particularly
careful in all future one, to guard securely
the interests OF the State and people. Rail
road corporations especially are without
souls, and besides they have studied how
70 make their contracts L.ad everybody
else without binding them at al. They
want watching perpetually, and we be-

EA- In slancing oyer the diary Of events
in the rebel publication styled the "F.rs,
Year OF the War for Separation we find il
stated that the Dubuque Herald was sup
pressed on the 18th of September, 1861, be-
cause Of its sympathy with the traitors!-
We also learn from it that Gen. Zol,icoffer.
who was killed near Somerset, XIV, as is
said Dy Col. Speed S. Fry, now Brgadier
General, performed an exploit not parallel
ed since the age Of Chivalry. According to
this account, Zollicotfer came upon a
Union Kentucky regiment, mistaking it
for one OF his own command. He was re-
cognized as the rebel General, and cries of.
kill him. Immediately ran along the
ranks. One of his aids promptly drew a
pistol and shot the soldier who frs; recop-
nized him dead where he stood. The Cen
eral, seeing escape impossible, thereupon
drew his sword and riding up to the Union
colonel, struck ot has lead at q single bloc,
and immediately fell dead himself pierced
with twenty bullets.
These items vii. be news to most north
ern readers, and there is lust about as
much truth IN them as in the rest q. the
statements. From this chronicle, W. learn
that whenever the rebels gained victory
they were always inferior ii numbers
Whenever we gained one, i, was because
we outnumbered them az least from three
to ten times over. For instance. in the
fight at Wilson'S Creek, Mo-, where Lyon
fell. the rebels had l,5oo men, and Lyon
600. This is a fair example OF its veracity.
What wonder that the ignorant, who were
surfeited with such mendacity. and beliey-
ed 1t all, were encouraged to persist in
their efforts. when their troops were achiey-
ing such wonders
