the war, had left her by him a note for
about FIVE thousand dollars secured by mort

legal tender law she is obliged 10 take
greenbacks Tor what is due her in New

guns, that will throw hollow shot Of ITO

are not likely to know where to find an

the new Alabama is not myth, it can't be-
gin to get through the water At that rate we
may be well assured. Ifthere is new Al

will fall in the way of the Niagara, which

~ There was = Copperhead peace
meeting ct Springfield, Ill, on the 18th
inst. The only thing We note concerning
it for the benefit Of our Iowa readers IL,
that among the able and distinguished mon
present, and laboring with Singleton, the
chief Of tho Illinois gang, were Henry
Clay Dean, General Augustus Cesar
Dodge and Geo. w. Jones, Of Iowa. The
character and tone Of the assembly may
b inferred from the fact that Dean made
. speech, and, according to the correspon-
dent Of the Chicago Tribune, proved him-
self the best blackguard Of the batch. We
havn't any doubts Of the correctness Of that
statement. A parson turned Copperhead,
naturally gets down deeper into miro and
filth than any other mortal possibly cam
The meeting endorsed the Peoria resolu-
tons, and resolved to support tho nomi-
nes of the Chicago Convention ''if he was
in favor Of peace! It was rich affair
throughout. But Singleton and his traitor
faction had it all their own way. Nc

THIS detail Of the interview with Davis

toward what they call "peacev The sole
difference between the two is, that Davis
insists that such dissolution shall be fnal.

The SEvEN-THIRTY LoAN.-we have
often recommended the Government loans,
Of various kinds, to the people. The Gov
eminent is bidding high for the small
savings Of the people. The inducements
offered are such as ought to draw every
dollar from the people that can be spared.
And the fact is that no man can anywhere
do 50 well as by lending his savings to the
Government which protects his person and
his property. On the other hand the war
can only be carried on and the nation saved
by these voluntary contributions Of the
people. Save your money and loan it to
the Government, thus laying the founda-
ton for future wealth or competence and
preserving the Union, without which even
title deeds, bonds and mortgages are Of no
value.

was the fact that not single prominent

address it. mot one Of the s'distinauished

convenient to attend! And Hiram Ketch-
um, Janior, declares that most Of the res
ponses received from these eminent and
patriotic personages, were either marked
''private," or accompanied by . request
not to publish! All of which seems to in
dictate that they were not disposed to tie
themselves to the tail of that kite, at least
until they know whether or not it viii con-

should be particularly satisfactory to the
Major General who win not fight but still
neglects to reaign. II he can't see what this

has not been very complimentary since we
