EXTRACT from private letter from Wash
ington: 1.-The Democrats are anxious to
postpone their National Convention to await
the result of Gen. Grants advance against
Lee. If Grant is successful, they are deter
mined to put him up for President, and Gen.
Dix Of New York for Vice President, wi,hou,
any platform. and to run them as candidates
Of the people, without reference to patty
nominations. 1t is said the Fremont element
will acquiesce in the movement"
The above we find in the Chicago jour
nal. But we do not believe that any such
game can be made to work. Generals Grant
and Dix, and tho Union War democrats Of
the country generally, would not acquiesce
in any such arrangement, accept nomina,

Correspondence Of the Gazette
FOR FRIENDS AT HOME.

CEDAR FALLS, Nay 2Sth.-5.30 A. NJ. found
me .astir. An unusual hour for rising, espec.
tally when the night before has been expended
in endeavor to reciprocate the good words
and cheer Of fifty pleasant people. But there
was no avoiding it. When one undertakes a
roundabout journey of fifteen hundred miles,
he must get up in the morning. Ate my
breakfast and was ready for the omnibus be.
fore the omnibus was ready for me, for which
| have the grateful regard of the driver no
doubt. At o'clock the train started for
Dubuque, sndI was on the way to see my
earliest friend, my mother, and to dire my
hardest foe, the east winds of tho Atlantic
seaboard. Met -, who is always ready to
talk of public men and affairs. Speaking of
our men in the lower house Of Congress he
said that - was strong man, that -
was money-loving, that ---- was courtly,
that - lacked judgment, and that -
was hard drinker unless he had reformed.
Arrived in Dubuque, went to the fremont
House. Went there for two reasons. First,
| like the house. Second, i never pay money
for the name Of it. Beside am not a big
man and do not need big hotel IN. B.
am not deadhead at the Tremont) Visited
the editorial room Of the Ne,cs. Litter, the
Congregational monthly paper of Iowa.
Found the broad shouIdcret, big souled cdi
tor in the printing room engaged in the
delightful work Of directing the arrangement
of the form.
29th.-Went to the Congregational church.
Heard the Rev. Lyman Whitney, of Proy-
dence, R. I. About forty FIVE years of age,
8 #. 8 in. in height, brown hair, black
whiskers beginning to gray. Light built.
White cravat, not very prominent for the
whskers relieve it. As preacher Mr..
Whitney is clear. positive, strong. As a
speaker, he is quick, ready, energetic, nerve
full. He reads we'll and accompanies the
scripture reading with explanatory observa.
tons, making tina. part of the service kind
Of exegetical sermon. After the second HYMN
eleven children were brought for baptism.
Some parents brought two. The ages were
from few months up to six or seven years.
One fair, faxen ringleted boy seemed too
beautiful to be compelled to grow into the
changes that time must bring One seemed
TO be asleep, his head resting quietly upon
his fathers shoulder, a picture of perfect
confidence. Some in red, some in white,
and some in blue, surely they were patri-
otto little band. AS the water was applied
to one Of the youngest he turned his face and
looked up toward the organ and the choir as
expecting music then.
In the afternoon I heard the Rev. Mr..
Cooper, an Episcopal clergyman, in the Con
gregational church. He is in the service of
the Freedmon's Commission, He made a
strong appeal for the freedmen. Yet it was
not speech to move many beside the very
christian people. ain sorry to think that
it was too true and too good to be popular.
In the evening, again heard Mr. Whitney.
This discourse confirmed the impression of
the morning, and am sure that if he is rs
wise out Of the pulpit as he is in it, the
church in Dubuque will be greatly blessed
under his pastoral care. 3.
