From Our Own Corrcspondeat.l
BURLINGTON, Iowa, October 13, 1865.
The rebel sheet published in your city |
seems to think as the heather chap did
about the flood, and old Noah and his ark,
that it Isn't much Of Union shower after
nil. When The Insertion Is made that Sin
noue of the few States where elections have
occurred, is the result victory for the
Radicals" It reads very much like a first
class lie. As far as Iowa is concerned, her
| people arc getting more <'sot'' In Radical
ism every year, aud the gains are not only
| perceptiblc, but enormous. In but one couu-
ty Dubuque, always d nest Of secession,
mud the home Of the "inartyr' Mahoncy,)
| have the rebels got majority. Even Lee
| County, in the extreme southeast corner Of
the Statc, always rebel, Inns at last got
ashamed Of keeping such company, and
though conceded to the rebels By 600 lna-
jority, has. to our great surprise, gone
Union 200 majority, md elected the entire
comfy as we'll as State md Congressional
Union ticket. Not Congressman will have
less than s, GOO majority, and but for the fraud
prActiced upon Mr.. Hubbard, BY which some
Ct the rcGcls have made themselves cauli-
dates for free berths in the penttentiary for
an indefinite number Of year., which you have
duly exposed, the majorIties would be some
thousands greater. Your rebel sheet Is hard
to please if Iowa don't suit him. Tie fellow
would Gtowl if he was going to be hung.
Perhaps Ae likes Prairie Precinct, In the
township Of the same name, in keokuk
County, which cast seyenty-1ve Union votes,
and nnry rebel. Our boys hare all got home
from the army. and vote exactly rs they
sllout; and rebels generally, candidates AMI
l all, know that Is pretty stfaight. Some OF
nIrH1 n II
, latin. themselves that this year they would
be out Of their misery soon and have no
id attcrclap,'' In the shape Of big army
vote coming alon. month after the elcc-
tien, re-s4uelchinS them : second time. This
, year they have the dose nil at once, and for
| their 50 kc, out of regard for the feelings ol
i aniinals, il Is to be hoped it suits them bet,
! ter. 1t ccrtuin1y relieves them Of all chance
| for suspense or future hope.
Su1lc lEecr things have been developed IN
this campaign. Five Of the six rebel candi
: dates for Congress were old Wings, showing
I not only how largely the reacti1nary party
has been reinforced with ancient lossils wnc
: nsye: know any:'ing, never learn any;hinS
= Bousbons But how completely such .
t meagrc party has been depleted OF its health,

5 come, that they do net care any longer to b.
set VI, in rebel pissogy rs rebel candidate
for Offices, and targets for Union rotten cry
aud other un*ayory missiles. They prefe
putting that dirty job on their old Viii!
recruits. The renegade Radical who ha
Lc made his bed in such filthy company ough
i. not only to be compelled to kecpif hereafter

ambitious man would seek in Iowa for cithe
reputation or social or official position. A
