Interior Department-ReP Refusal

is doubtful whether Mr.. Harlan will nc

A friend writes us from Dubuque. I'M
der date Of the 18th, saying that tclc-
gram wa. received in that city stating
that it was understood in Washington
that Hon. a. w. Hubbard, Representa-
tive in Congress from this District, had
been rendered the Sccretaryship Of the
Interior. Our friend thought the name
of Hubbard was n mistake for Harlan,
but the receiver Of the dispatch thought
not. As the news of Mr.. Harlan's up
rointment was received week before,
it hardly seems probable that private
dispatch would be sent at that late day
announcing the fact. Taken in connec-
ton with the telegram in the Chicago
Tribune the report deserves the more
attention. We give these statements,
however, for what they are worth.

by John f. Watson Of the 2lst Iowa
regiment, we extract as follows:
=" We are expecting to move on Mo-
bile soon. Troops are arriving daily,
and many going TO Pensacola, Florida,
to march to the rear of the city. We
are in fine spirits and health. Oysters
are to be had in abundance also fish,
&c. Gen. n. J. Smiths Corps is report
ed on the way here. Deserters come in
most every day. Thirteen came in yes
terday from Mobile, saying they had
no idea of such large force here; and,
after little persuading, took the oath
of allegiance and went to New Orleans.
Your paper is always gladly received in
our regiment. The boys come every
halliday to see if have received one.
We all look for speedy peace. What
do you Northcrncrs think about it -
The South talks strongly of arming the

THE Dubuque Times is out strongly
for Wm. b. Allison as Mr.. Harlan 8
successor in the United States Senate
Ii intimatcs that Mr.. Allison will not
approve of the use of his name, in
which particular we are inclined to
think it is right. We understand that
Allison has expressly stated that lie
would not he a candidate in opposition
to Kirkwood, whom he favOrs together
with many of his very best friends. If
our information be correct we do not
approve the course of the Times. Mr..
Allison is good man, has proved him
self in Congress, is popular, not only in
his own District but in this, and we
shall always herald his advancement
with pleasure. His exhibition of good
sense and honorable fairness in the
present case has exalted the high esti-
nation we have always entertained of
him.

v HON Shall We Have for United States
Stnat0r?


Senator!
Senator Harlan has been confirmed
Secretary OF the Interior: and the uues-
ton now is, who shall take his place in
the senate?
In answering this question, we are
willing to lay aside all sectional preju-
dices, and say, We are for the best man
in the State of Iowa, wherever he is to
be found, whether from the North, the
South, the East, the West, or the mid
die part OF the State. That man we be-
lisve is Samuel j. kirkwOOd, of John
son county. He has age, he has experi-
ence, and he has distinguished ability.
we'll fitting him for that high position,
OF United states senator.
1t is due him for distinguished servi-
ceS rendered the State of Iowa, and the
whole country, while Governor of the
State at the outbreak of the rebellion.
When the General Government had
called for troops, when both the nation
al and the state treasures were embar-
rasssd, when great delays and priva-
tions were likely to be OccasiOned by
want OF means, then it was, that Gov
ernor kirkwood stepped forward and
from his individual means, furnished
what was necessary for the comfort and
efficiency of the Iowa soldiers. For
this, the State is under lasting debt of
gratitude to him.
so, during the entire term of his ad-
ministration, did he watch over the in
tcfests and comforts of the Iowa sol
diers, and the whole Iowa people, with
the same zeal and iervency, with which
an aitcctionate parent wOuld look ate =
the interests aud comforts OF his beloved
children. 10 Samuel }. Kirkwood, per
haps more than TO amy other one man,
are we indebted for the proud position
We to-day occupy among the States. 1t
was his industry, his encouragement,
his zeal, his burning patriotism infused
into the masses OF the people of our
state, which sent forth that noble army
OF ours to such deeds OF gailantry and
glory!
Let us not then, when an opportunity
like the present offers itself, forget to
hOnor our worthy and noble E.X-Govef-
nor, ;. J. kirswOod.

IMPORTANT TO SoLRIERs OF TIVE

IMPORTANT TO SOLRIERS OF TWO
YEARS SERVICE. The Secretary of
War has decided that soldiers who have
been in continuous scrrEce for two years
are entitled to the L. :. bounty OF 500.
1t has been heretofore the practice among
paymasters to refuse payment OF this
bounty, If the parties applying for 1t
had served in different branches or in
different organizations of the service,
even though they had served two years
successively. The decision of the Sec
rotary of War settles this point, aud
many discharged soldiers who were re-
fused the bounty because they had not
served two years in one branch of the
service, although serving for two years
i'm different branches, will now be enti-
tied to receive their bounty.
