" Arbitrary Arrests.

The copperhead press has at length
become the advocate of arbitrary ar
rests" of which we heard so much
when loyal men were endeavoring to
save the country. Witness the follow
ing from one of the Presidents most
enthusiastic supporters, The Chicago
Times
ave do not hesitate to declare that
it is the solemn duty of the President
to follow his words by deeds. We do
not hesitate to declare that it is the
solemn duty of the President to COM
mand the arrest of Thaddeus Stevens,
Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, and
their contederates in Congress and all
over the country, for the crime of trea-
son. In no other way can this North.
ern rebellion be promptly quelled, and
the public quiet restored And if the
rump Congress shall not speedily aban-
don its seditious, revolutionary, and
lawless practices-if it shall persist in
excluding the representatives of eleven
States from their rightful seats, and in
exercising the powers of the Congress
of the United States-we do not hest
tate to declare that it will become the
solemn duty of President Johnson to
constitute himself the Cromwell of the
time, and dissolve the rump by military
power"
There is more of the same sort, but
that will serve for a specimen.

During a recent revival of religion
in Powesheik county, a man named
Andrews-who had formerly been a
professor, but who had backslidden-
was re-converted, and became very
jealous in the cause. The excitement
consequent upon his conviction and
conversion had the effect to render him
partially insane at times, and in one OF
these moods he conceived the idea that
if couple of his neighbors, who lived
two or three miles from him, were not
Immediately baptized they would be
eternally lost. So he resolved to add
minister the ordinance himself, and &C.
cordingly, one Of the coolest nights of
the winter, he arose from his bed, and
bare-footed. bare-headed. and almost
naked, he started to perform his duty.
His family did not miss him for some
time after his departure. and immedi-
ately started in pursuit. but it was too
late He was found about midway be.
tween his house and that of his neigh
hor. with his head, feet, and hands fro,

New Mail Route.

In the Government advertisements
of mail routes, they invite bids for
daily service from Calmar via Fort At
kinson, Jacksonville, New Hampton
and Chickasaw to Charles City. This
route is not only of great Importance
to the towns through which it passes,
but also to this place. 1t will afford
us direct passenger, express and
mail communication with McGregor
and Milwaukee. With but compare
lively small expense the road can be
made as fair a stage road as the ma
jority of roads in the State, while
there is every reason to believe that
the number Of passengers carried per
mile would exceed that Of any Other
route in the State. An examination oi
this route shows that, with the excep
ton of one or two weeks in the spring
and fall, it will save twenty-foul
hours in time and five dollars in fare
between this place and Chicago.
We hope some Of our emterprisans
stage men will occupy this route, AM
we have no hesitation in assuring then
that this route well stocked and rul
regularly will repay with usury the in
yeStmcnt

Unionism at the South.

The Chicago Tribune gives the fol-
lowing sample of the spirit wherein
the restored" rebels are now evin-
cling their Unionism in loyal Kentucky:
Reuben Harris was the slave of
Isaac Rucker, who lived in Lyon coun-
ty, between the Cumberland and Ten
nessee rivers. About year ago, Reu-
ben directed the Union armies to where
two companies of the 25th Kentucky
rebel regiment were hid in the wilder
ness. Two of the sons of Isaac Ru *
er were officers in Company + OF said
regiment. They were taken prisoners
by our army. Isaac, through fear, fled.
The slaves, by the advice of our sol
diers, still abode on the plantation and
worked it. On the 18th day of Janu-
airy, Rucker and his two sons returned
to the plantation. Upon inquiry, they
found that Reuben had reported on
them, by which means they were ia
ken.
Isaac Rucker then took Reuben, his
former slave, stripped him, and tied
him up by his wrists to pole, between
two trees, just so that his toes could
touch the ground He then, with his
own hands, whipped him, and contin-
ued to whip for hours, frequently say
ing that he would cut him in two His
wife and family were present, moaning
in agony at the spectacle. The wretch
turned and struck his wife ten blows,
and told her to go off and mind her
own business. One of the black mans
sons he made bring him (the rebel

Horrible,

Recently we have had many cases
Of drunkenness to report, often follow
ed by the most revolving consequent
ces, but we never remember to have
met with case so horrible as the one
related in late ST. Louis paper, A
wretched woman, in n state of beastly
intoxication, was placed in the " dun
geon" of the calaboose in that city, a
dark, filthy apartment, into which
consumptive rats were accustomed to
retire to "givc up the ghost" A rae.
coon, formerly used for fighting dogs,
which had been placed in the same
apartment by the turnkey, for safe
keeping, made an attack upon her.
Springing upon her face, he fastened
his teeth on her nose and tore away a
large portion Of that organ. The wo-
man. thinking the leading spirit of the
internal regions had assaulted her,
screamed murder and called for help
at the top of her voice, but no help
came. The coon, after biting off the
woman's nose, seized hold of her arm
aud manglcd it in shocking manner.
Finding that no one came to her assis-
lance, the woman became desperate,
and seizing the devil "by the throat.
held on with determined grip. Under
the pressure the coon was strangled,
and the woman threw his dead body
at her feet, and it was seized upon
and half devoured by the rats.
Instead Of being sent Immediately
to the hospital, she was kept in the
calaboose for several hours afterwards
the most pitiable object that human
eye could look upon.

Gen. John G. Fremont.

An important case is now pending
before the United States Court oil
Claims, at Washington, in which the
whole point turns on the power or au.
thority Of General Fremont, by virtue
Of his position as commander OF de-
partment, and the binding force of his
contracts with third parties. Among
the witnesses examined is Hon. Simon
Cameron, Secretary Of war at the time
that Fremont was in command in Mis-
souri,, and Thomas A. Scott, Assistant
Secretary of War at the same time.
The former testified that Fremont had
unlimited power in regard to his ex-
petitions. As a commander of his de-
partment General Fremont had full
power to make contracts and do any.
thing to secure success. In my
view, "testifies Gen. Cameron, :" lie had
authority to make contracts. and ap-
prove them when made by others un
der his direction" Thomas A. Scott de.
clafed that Gen. Fremont was invest
cd with all the powers which to him
might seem needful. This evidence,
which is only small portion in the
same direction would seem to establish
the fact that Gen. Fremont was in
trusted with proconsulate powers
and, like a king or emperor. his word
was the law in all things in bis de-
partmeDt. 1t may be that the admin
istration found that they had placed 10
his hands the weapons to make him.

Our Common Schools.

Where else can we lay out money
so advantageously as for the support
of our common schools wherein all the
children may be educated !! We
should also bear in mind that when
we get teacher, good or bad, our du-
ty is not done. We must visit the
school, and get the neighbors to do it.
We must see that the teacher does his
duty. If we hire man to work fol
us, we will watch his work daily, tc
see that he is doing what is right. But
we hire teacher, and for whole
year never go near his school to see
whether our children are in competent
hands or not. We would not trust a
COW. a horse, or even a mule in aEoth-
er's hands this length of time without
seeing what care was being bestowed
upon it. But our children can be pla-
ced under teachers care forever, and
it is all right. We think less of the
treatment they receive, than we
would of the brute belonging to us.
1t greatly encourages children and
teacher to manifest an in terest in the
school. Children will strive to learn
more, and teacher to impart more
where the school is frequently visited
by patrons. And not only fathers, but
mothers should visit the District
Schools. The influences of such visits
are highly beneficial, and cannot be
too strongly encouraged.

The Legislature will probably adj

vast amount of unfinished business
on its hands. There are too many
long speeches made here for the public
good, and you know from observation
that those who make the most and the
loudest have the least influence. A
large proportion of the Bills have orr
ginated south of Masons and Dixons
line and many Of them are of a local
character. There are several "McGre-
