Soldiers look to Your Record,


The Copperheads Of Van Buren, county
can't find a soldier that will consent to
run on their ticket. They nominated full
ticket, but ell declined, and now they are re-
peating the joke, and the following communi-
cation to the Republican will show with what
success:
BRArros's GROVE, V. B. Co., Iowa,
October Sd, 1865.
En-. REpuBIIcAN-Dear Sir IL desire to
say to the public through your paper, that |
was very much surprised to-day on picking up
the Bugtel to see there my name as n candi-
date for the Legislature. shall say plainly.
that it was unsolicited upon my par-that l
did not directly or indirectly authorize any
person to make use of my name to fll the va
cancy occasioned by the withdrawal of Capt.
Picket. therefore positively decline to &C
cept of the same. Yours truly,
WILLIAM A. BrtHER.
Late 14th Iowa lnft.
Soldiers-Having been yeur conrade in
arms for three long years, let me say to you,
beware of strategy here at home, as you ever
were in thetarmy, If we differ about the ne
gro, don t let US disagree about the salvation
of the nation, for if the negro question comes
before US three years hence, every man can
vote for or against, as he pleases. Think
how closely we are connected with the destiny
and glory of this great nation. Remember
that onr deeds of valor are written in history.
Now, that the rebellion is over and we are at
home, let US, as soldiers, stand united, and
endeavor to keep our record clear, and not
suffer ourselves to be snatched as bait, to be
used 10y a clique that have not the courage to
rally under their own colors.
In haste, remain yours in peace,

Just at this present time the copperheads
are manifesting good deal of admiration for
Senator DooL1TTLE of Wisconsin. They as
sert that Senator DooLIrrLE stands firmly by
President JoHSsoS's policy, and they assume
that he understands what that policy is.
Well, at Milwaukee Senator DooLITrIE said
in his speech the other day, that in recent
conversation President JOHNSON declared to
him his wish that the right of suffrage might
be extended to such colored citizens of the
South as have performed military service,
and to such as have for long time been
heads of families and supported them by
their own industry, and who have demon
stra.ed clearly their intellectual fitness to ex-
ercise this right
Do the copperheads really endorse the
Presidents policy, or are they trying to hmm

-
Recent discoveries of British documents
by the authorities Of our Government bring
10 light that there was regular organization
IN Great Britain to give aid aud comfort to
the Southern rebels, and 70 secure the indie
pendence of the Confederacy. The names of
several prominen, members of Parliament
and OF the leading Banking Houses and com.
merciaf firms of the Realm, were included in
the association.
1t is more than probable that these develt
opments may lead to some action on the par
OF our Government; at least, the facts as de-
veloped will have decided bearing on our
relations to the Fenian movements IN this
country.
Now, We have no doubt that Col BENTON
and his soldier friends in Iowa will express
great indignation at the conduct of these Eng
lishmen, notwithstanding the fact that they
have entered into league of friendship with
the Northern copperheads, whose conduct
during the war was infinitely more infamous.
Dress I'm Soldier Globes.
We learn that the scheme of the cooper
head leaders, which the extra police
force have in special charge to put into ope
ration, is, to dress up the stay y-at-home cop
perheads and the butternuts from Missouri in
soldier clothes, and make tremen dous dem
onstration of the soldier element at the
polls.
This is in character, and will constitute
about all the soldier element they will have
to support their ticket.
Let our ''boy in blue, who have worn SOL
der clothes while fighting the friends of the
copperheads down South, look out for this
raid of stay lat home butternuts in soldier
clothes.
We are not talking at random. but have the
word of one who heard the scheme discussed.

One Of the most astonishing instances
OF success in newspaper enterprise, pre-
sented in these days, we find illustrated
in that which has attended the New Or
leans Times. The paper is now before
us, in triple sheet, larger than the New
York papers by one third, filed with
advertising, and an immense amount of
original literary and political matter.
1t seems to have a large corps of the best
writer's and contributors, male and fe-
male, in the South. 1t is now only in
its second year, and Mr.. Hoe, the great
press builder, telegraphs the proprietors
from New York, that he has shipped
their new sic cylinder press, which is the
best ever made by him. The Times is a
conservative" Union paper, but de-
votes itself principally to literature.
principal proprietor, w. Fl. c. King,
Esq, was formerly foreman in the old
Crescent, and is most enterprising and
public spirited man, and his success
proves how well-direeted energy COM
mapds success. He is warm friend of
literature and the drama, and besides
conducting his journal has for the last
two years been the manager of the Va
rietes Theatre. We wish him still fur
tber success, and hope the day is not
distant when the patronage of the peo-
pie of Norfolk, hitherto so literally ex-
tended, will enable us to order six
cylinder press, and present our readers
with as much reading matter as the
Times can afford. Speaking of presses,
the six cylinder of the Times will be the
largest one in the South. The Picay,.,ae
has for about ten years boosted one of
four cylinders. Several Northern
papers have presses of ten cylinders, but
the majority of the large dailies are
printed upon single or double cylinders
like the one in cur Office.

THE CONGRESS.

All that remains of the good old shir
Congress arrived off our city yesterday
morning, and her appearance was hailed
with undisguised delight by the people
She looks sufficiently dilapidated, worn
and ancient, to satisfy the taste of the
most devoted and Anticipated antiquary.
There Is but little of her left above the
water, but that little is interesting
enough-for there is many holy recol-
lection lingering in our minds of her
past glories, and much of sorrow in our
hearts for her fate and the relics will
long be held sacred. Like the famous
Mississippi, which went down so nobly
amid fire and flame in the night attack
on Port Hudson, the Congress has bril-
liant history, that will be sung in he
roic rhymes of epic grandeur. A full
account of her birth, deeds, and unfortu-
nate death, will no doubt be published:
till then we must refer our readers to the
graphic account furnished by our report
er this morning.

I The paragraph below We take from
the Savannah Republican. If the indi-
vidual alluded to was Joe Howell, so
well known about the drinking saloons
of New Orleans for long years before the
war, why we can only say that the Cap
tain had to do with most insolent, de-
graded and desperate character. A fell
low six feet tall, who is noted duellist,
and has had more rencounters in peace
and war than any other man in the
South. 1t is due to JEFF. Davis to say,
that he never recognized this vagrant
brother of his wife's, and Mrs. Davis has
long discarded him. While Mr.. Davis
was Secretary of War, he never gave Joe
any employment, though from the fact
of this relationship he was appointed
to clerkship in the post office. While
there, however, he became so offensive
by challenging everybody to fight duel
that went to the Office on business, that
he was turned out. In the gunboat fight
off Memphis, he commanded boat of
the Montgomery fleet. His vessel was
sunk and he escaped by swimming
ashore. Since which time, he has been
lettering around Mobile, where the last
we heard of him he had difficulty in
bar room with one of the former editors
of the New Orleans Crescent, with whom
he had previously had duel in New Or
leans. JEFF. Davis never could be ac-
cused of doing much for his relatives,
and he is certainly not responsible for
the conduct of any of the Howells. If
this paragraph alludes to the other Howell
who san officer on the Alabama under
Semmes, we are not surprised at his be-
ing whipped, for vainer nimcompoop
never breathed and hewas as insulting
as he was irresponsible. He, too, for a
time enjoyed petty Office in the postal
department of New Orleans, but was
principally known and detested as a fast |
young man, living on the reputation of
Jeff Davis, and getting his acquaint-
ances into difficulty on his account. |
Whatever the sins of jeff. are let him |
stand upon his own bottom-for the |
faults of his wife's relatives are not faults
VI ms. He never recognized nor encour-
