Shsfman ceases his negotiations
relies only upon the advantages Of hi,
military position, and the result is tha,
Johnston surrenders and the last army Of
the rebellion is gone. This is fitting
close to the brilliant campaign or series
OF campaigns inaugurated by 6hsrman's
gallant army last summer at Chattanooga,
and which after the most remarkable
triumphal march in history, has had the
glory Of closing the rebellion. The strife
Is now virtually ended. The most gigau.
tic rebellion of any age or Sation. has
Tailed. The heroism of the national SOL
dIery, the genius of the Union Chiefs,
the wisdom of our rulers. the patriotism
ofthe people, have saved the Government.
Truth, justice, and freedom have tri-
umphed. God be praised for this result.
May peacscome lnow speedily, and prog
perity heal the wounds of war. May the
red battle flag never again have to be un. |
furled in our land nor sacrifice Of Lu-
man HE be ever sgain necessary for the
Preservation OF the Union and of our free
institutions.

~ The Pella Blade says that per-
son who had laid down to sleep on the
railroad track near Ouumwa, the other
day, was suddenly awakened by being
run into by the train and thrown several
feet down an embankment. Train stop
ped and engineer went back. Found the
man who wasn't hurt much but was con-
cerned greatly about the back and skirt of
his coat which had entirely disappeared.
He will doubtless conclude henceforth to
find other resting places when he is sleepy.
Mapping on railroad track isn't bad in
itself, but to be walked up in tha, manner
is decidedly disagreeable.

GE The Hswkeye says that in rural
Church not far from Burlington the pas

Cop stood it as long as he could, and
then started to leave. AS he neared the
door The preacher called out to him ::

PURITANISM.

The Mainelawites in Massachusetts are
progressing. They now have law prohb-
ising shaving on Sunday, or the selling of
cigars at the drug stores, or the opening of
eating houses &c. &c. A letter from Boston,
dated Nov. 4th says:
Last Sunday was exciting day in Boston,
particularly in the shaving, eating and medicine
line The new state constables are going around
closing up ali and every kind of shop where shaw
ing may be performed, where a man may get a
good square meal of vctuals, and where medi-
cines anu cigars ought to be had when properly
called for. The commotion over the stringent
enforcement of this new law was last Sunday
great in the extreme. As much cursing is cal.
culated TO have oeen done on any other Sun
day, Men went hungry, unshorn and unshaven,
and suffering for boluses and 81 CARS Most peo-
pie think this sort of business pretty small pota-
toes and most people will keep right along vo-
ting tor the same sort of doings, as if there was
no other way, and couldn't be any other. We
expect q repetition of the same scenes to morrow.
When men crowd to station-houses toward night
on Sunday, with money in their pockets, too,
and comp plain bitterly of hunger because the
places are closed where their means or associa-
tons have hitherto compelled them to satisfy
then appetites, things are at curious pass
enough, aud look a. II they required rec ,sting.
PuritanIsm Is running rampant in this respect,
performing some of the sane STYLES of antics
practiSed 200 years ago.

WHAT'S w RONGf

The UaOs is greatly exercised over q cir
oular issued by the democratic central COM
mittee urging democrats to be active and
yieilaot f,x their ticket and showing reasons
why thew should be So If there is anything
wrong or dishonorable In the circular we
cannot discover it, nor do we think any one
else can. We are rather grati6ed to see it
in the Union, because it sends home to the
readers of that paper few facts they other
wise might not learn. 10 fact it is a good
deal better reading matter than is usually
found in that paper, and, We hope, VIII Dc
the means of enlightening some OF the oe-
nighted people who read nothing but the o"-
ION. If the democrats of each town had ac-
ted promptly aud efficiently, upon the sug-
eestions made by the cIunty com nIttee, the
result of the election would have been quite
different from what it now Is. 1t is not the
fault of the committee that they did not do
80.
No circular was issued which "purported to
be signed by a republican, nor was any
letter written by any member of the COM
mittee, signed republican" or purporting to
COme lrOu EcpuOltcau, ma "OAS "Ay N~
cts printed at this office besides the regular
democratic ticket unless they were printed
at the request of republicans, aud tor rspub.
licans, and sent only TO republicans.
The Uaioa takes much credit to itself, as
follows:
''We might have published column upon col
umn of the history of some of their candidates
which would not have been very complimentary
to them, but we did not do 90"
Yes YOU did-and after the personal abuse
of the men on the democratic ticket, and the
shameful insinuations in regard to their pri-
vate characters, which appeared 10 the In
ion. the Phsrisaical airs assumed in the
above extract, are quite laughabie.
The ARGUs carried on the campaign upon
principle, with clear and well defined
platform, publishing full record of the
positions assumed by the democratic party,
both in the nation, the state, and the county,
and making no warfare upon any candidate
on personal grounds, no attacks upon their
private characters, but dealing with them
Only in public capacity.
The UaioH hal no platform, no principles,
nor ats candidates either, and its columns
tesmed with the most shameless falsehOods,
misrep presentations and personal abuse.
The record of the campaign will be pre4er
we'd. and we have no desire TO conceal or re-
cal any act of ours in connection with it.

the steam generated passes instantly into
the steam chest of the engine, does its work,
and exhausts itself in the outer atmosphere.
Ordinary locomotive boilers are usually
subjected to a pressure of los pounds to the
square inch, haying a thermometrical heat of
33l degrees, Farenheit. The thickness of the
iron globe in this invention, all other things

little or much, it was in proportion to his
financial ability. Capital was the basis of
taxation. Now the case is reversed. You
see some men of wealth whose incomes are

taxes at all, while the man of smaller means
pays twice OF thrice the sum that was FORM

gold, if you will take the public burdens

shoulders of labor. In brief, | will grant

| In evil hour the government yielded to the
hard and traitorous demand. 1t told the ca
