The telegraph brings us the news Of the
death of one of Iowa best citizens and ablest
soldiers. The name of Gen. NJ. NJ. CRocKER
has become household word throughout the
State, and our people have recognized in him
an officer and a hero to whom could safely be
confded the maintenance of the fair fame of
the Hawkeye State in battle Gen. CRocKER
was thoroughly soldier, and lost his life at a
time when he was seeking, although in frail
health, again actively to take the field wherein
he found his highest pleasure. The Chicago
Tribunes dispatch from Washington the 26th
inst, says:
Gen. Crocker died this morning at half

stopped.

NE" IoRK, Aug, 2S.
The Heralds Washington special says the
statement OF the New 7 ork Erening Post that
the naval authorities have made no adequate
preparation to resist or capture the Shenan-
doah in the Pacific, is without foundation in
fact. When the naval officer at San Fran
cisco first heard of the pirate in that direc-
hon, he telegraphed to the Admiral com
manding In that quarter, and the Suwanee
and one other iron-clad were dispatched from
Acapulco some time in July.
The sale of government horses and mules
has been stopped at different military posts,
for the purpose of ascertainng the magnitude
of the Indian depredations in the western
States and Territories The total destruction
by Indians of over five miles of the t. s. tel
egraph line in Utah, at a single point, and
the hostile attitude of the savages in that re-
gion, make it important to dispatch an addi-
tional mounted force to learn how formidable
they are beyond
