~ Col. Allison, az VIC correctly anticipa-
ted, refuses to be candidate for the va
cant o.. 8. Senatorship,s and the Du-
buque Times of Tuesday has the pleas
ure of remarking, alt affords us pleas
ure to say that Mr.. Aliison's name will
no longer stand in the way of harmo-
NOUS action, and that he will not be u
candidate for the position"
The mention of Representative Hub
bard's name by some papers in this
District is as unwarrantable, and as in
discreet, we might add, as was the urg-
ing of Col. Allison. Mr. Hubbard's
health is very poor, and it was with re-
luctaace that lie accepted his present
position. We are very well satisfied
that he will not consent to be candi-
date. .." ....
! No other Northern Iowa men have
been spoken of for the place, and the
most OF the papers which have mem
toned favorably these gentlemen have
also spoken highly of Mr.. Kirkwood,
giving evidence of his popularity.
There is no good reason now why any
thing should come in the way of the
harmonious action of the North part of
the State in this matter. We heretofore
have fully expressed our mind, and have
no disposition to aggravate or keep alive
a discussion which has already gone too
far. We only hope that the best man
may be successful.

on Saturday morning. He had nearly
5000 men wiped out before break fast.

he lost onetcnth of his entire force i'll
Saturdays disastrous assault on Grants
lines. The attack proved TO be bloody
and costly blunder. The rebel loss is
equal to that suffered by Grants army
last June at the battle of Coal Harbor,
and 1900 greater than that sustained at
the unfortunate assault near Petersburg,
after the explosion of the mine. The
rebels under Lee have experienced no
such loss since they got behind their
intrenchmcnts nine months ago. The
demoraIizing effect of this repulse and
slaughter will be felt all through Lees
camps. 1t will tend to deepen the per-
vading feeling of despondency, and
make the men feel still more keenly
the utter hopelessness of their cause

An fr,10rtant Exuadilion,

The Chicago Journeys Nashville cor
respondent, under date of March Goth,
says:
1.-THE troops in General Thomas de-
paftment are once more on the war
path. Ere this the forces that have
been concentrating for some time past
ut knoxviiie, in East Tennessee are in
motion to cross the mountains into
Virginia. This army, which is quite
formidable, is under command of Major
General Stanley, of the 4th Corps-a
brave, discreet and trustworthy officer.
Its exact destination is not for publica-
ton, though the Virginia and East Ten
nessee Railroad will probably be its line
OF march, and Lynchburg will proba-
bly, come in for a portion OF its respects.
The general superstition is that this is a
"sidc Issue" against Lee; or, in other
words, that it will cooperate with Grant
and Sherman, with a view of prevent
ing Lee from falling back in this direc-
ton when he leaves Richmond. The
lines of communication will be destroy
cd, a!id every possible difficulty placed
in the way to prevent the rebel army
from making q hasty retreat into the

The C0nreleracy on Its Last Legs.

The Baltimore correspondent of the
N. Y. World says:
!" In few weeks the Southern Con-
federacy will be numbered among the
things of the past, and the rebels will
have neither army, capital or Govern
nient. The news from rebeldom has
produced feelings of deeper depression
among Southern sympathizers than any
previous event OF the war; The South
orn army is 81, 900 strong. No more men
can be raised. Richmond Will be held
as long as the rebel army consists of
$1,000. One halftlie Southern army has
deserted since the fall of Wilmington
and Charleston. The ruin OF their rail-
roads renders it impossibie.for the South
TO make use of its resources, and the
closing o. their last port cuts off supplies
from England. They have few NUM-
tons of war, and limited and reduced
means of manufacturing them, and all
hope OF foreign Intervention has been
finally dispellad." t sn

The country through which we have

We have had plenty Of forage; and
plenty of night marching, .yadlng
through swamps, streams and mud,
building roads, and in fact all kinds of
labor that a soldier ever done. We have
boon out sixty-five days, and marched
over four hundred miles, an average of
eleven miles per day including stoppa-

1 have the honor to report that / oc-
cupied Goldsboro' this afternoon with
but slight opposition. General Terry's
column, from Wilmington, was at Far
sons depot last night. and should be
near this place tonight. ...
Sherman's left was engaged with the

Tho artillery firing was quite rapid dur
ing the day, and for a short time on
Monday morning. Sherman's right, the
18th corps, was near Mount Olive ON
SUNDAY night.
Tiiere has been some artillery firing
during to-day, which indicates Il gradu-
al approach OF oherman's army towards
this place. All this being strictly in
accordance with SherIaan's plans, |
have no doubt all is we'll

1T is asserted, by some hopeful Wash
lngton correspondent, that Stephens,
Fice-President of the sham Confedera-
~, and Lee, the leader OF its armies
have both expressed faith in an early
peace, and to have declared in favor of
negotiation to that desirable end on the
basis of the reconstruction of the Union
by the submission of the South. If a
majority of those who control the rc-
beilion car. be made to see their hope
less cause in the light in which these
prominent rebels are reported to see it,
and be brought thereby to as sensible a
conclusion, We see no serious obstacle in
the way of the "early peace" When
they get enough let them say SO, and
the pegging away will cease. Till
then, or till they are entirely pegged
out" let it continue. a.l

To Chicago via Cedar Raaiis.

In the proceedings of the Shippers
and Merchants Convention, held at Du-
buque March LIST and End, which have
just appeayed in pamphlet, we find the
following in regard to the extension of
the d. S. w. r. II. to Cedar Rapids:
:" Mr.. Bowen, of Sand Spring, said it
was well known that if the four miles of
railroad between Marion and Cedar Rap
ids were completed, much OF the produce
that comes to Dubuque, and indeed
much that goes from Dubuque, would
avoid the delays here, and be shipped to
Chicago via Cedar Rapids. He said the
cost of this completion would not be
more than $4,000. SID a
In view OF the Importance Of that con-
nection he offered the following:
WHEREAS, The completion of n bridge Mt Du-
buque will, ut the best, involve a considerable
delay, aud the immediate necessities of the
public are so urgently pressing, therefore
Resolred, That the business of Iowa calls
loudly for the completion OF the railroad from
Marion to Cedar Rapids, giving an imned "a to
outlet Tor shipment.
Reso!red. That a committee of three be ap-
pointed by this Convention to confer with the
proper authorities, and urge speedy coInpie
tion of that road.
The resolutions were adopted, and the
Chair, with the approval OF the Copven-
ton, appointed j. II. Fisher, of Anamo-
su; }. +. Farley, OF Dubuque, and >. Ii.
Curtis, OF Waverly, as the Committee.
Mr.. Elwell, OF Waterloo, wished the
committee of ten to be instructed to pro-
cure a through-freight tariff by the Ce-
dar Rapids route as soon as possible"
Mr.. Edward Cropsey's letter, dated
headquarters Army of the Potomac,
March 18th, II O'clock ut night, SAYS |:
" Poor thwarted Lee! Again has he
attempted to shake Off the chains the
Lieutenant General has wound around
his capital; again has he signally failed
thanks TO the valor of American sol
diers, to the skill and pluck of Ameri-
can officers, and TO the professional ex-
ceiience of American aTtiilerists. The
poor, desperate Lee is tonight still
hemmed Inside his contracted lines.
notwithstanding the attempt this morn
ing for greater freedom; but he has one
consolation: If nc has not more room
for his army, he has less army for his,
room. To-day has released him from
the care of at least 400, who were this
morning stalwart soldiers of tie rebel
lion. E#E

stitntion OF Iowa by striking out the
word white" in the article defining
the right of suffrage" We should like
10 have general expression from the
press on this important question. The

question of our State politics. We
have little doubt but the Legislature
VIII fully support the position we took
last week.
