General Glasgow.

We clip the following article from
the Corydon Monitor, by (which it
will be seen that General Glasgow i
on the track for Congress to succeed
Gen. Dodge, from the 9Th district.
From our personal acquaintance
with the General, we can most nm
hesitatingly endorse everything
therein said Of his eminent ftness,
but then he lives SO far from Des
Moines, the sun and center Of the
political and financial system Of that
dist rict, and the entire State, that he
stands a better chance of beinr
struck BY lightning than to receive
the nomination:
At the requestof many Of General
Glasgow's friends and by his permits
sion, we announce his name a. q can
didate for Congress from this district
subject TO the decision Of the next
Republican Congressional Conven-
ton.
We have been acquainted with
Gen Glasgow for the past ton years.
and during that time we have known
him to be an able and xealous advo-
cate Of the great principles of the
Republican party.
When treason first arrayed itself
in armed force against our country.
he enlisted as q private in Co. aI- 4th
Iowa Infantry, and upon the or0ani.
zation Of the Company was elected
LIST Lieutenant, in which capacity he
faithfully served for several months
but sickness compelled him 70 resign
bnd return home.
Recovering his health, and feeling
that his services were due 20 his
country, in July 1862, he raised .
company, and entered the army a
captain Of Co. ID" 23d Iowa Infant.
~, from this position he rose TO :
Bigadier General, which 10 Z sum
Gent proof Of the fact that he was :
brave and gallant soldier.
Two years ago he presented this
County IN the Legislature in an able
and creditable manner, and was rec.
ognized as one Of the most iuAuen.
tial members of that body.
Since his return from the army Ia
has been 10 the practice Of law, and
BY his ability has gained the reputa.
ton OF being one Of the best lawyer
in the State. Gen. Glasgow's noble
record as soldier, his reputation ~

have been very much
interested in reading some Of your
correspondence, especially letters
from the Richland Farmers Club;
and the letters also from the newly
organized Clubs Of Competing and
Dahlonega townships. I feel myself
under obligations to let the numerous
readers Of the worthy CouRIER know
that Green township is not dead to
agricultural; (although it is said to
begiven overt to hardness ofheart, and
reprobacy Of mind in political affairA)
Winter wheat looks very Aattering
indeed. It has stood the winter with
out freezing ont. And ~ we have had
some beautiful warm days in this
month (Which is very uncommon)
the wheat looks very beautiful and
green, making the farmers heart re.
joice with gladness.
There was considerable spring
wheat sown in February, but It'll sup
posed to be mostly rotted in tho
ground.
Since the sound of the woodsmen's
axes has ceased to echo from the
hills and valleys Of the Railroad tic
making regions, the laborers have
turned their attention to clearing up
their brush, lands, fencing, &c.
There has been o. few meetings Of
Copperhead organizations, in tn s. e.
correr of this township. The dcmo-
cratic party seem to be rejoicing in
view of the coming Presidential cleo
ton in this township, as they know
how to meet early and vote often on
election day.

DIES MONIES, Mar. 10, '6S.


Ed. COURIER
The Senate has been
engaged all day (save two hours &C.
cupied in joint convention) in the
consideration of tho bill for . State
House. The fight has been very ex-
citing. One very noticeable feature
to spectator was that the city of
Des Moines male and female was
out in force, and endeavored to pro-
cure the passage Of the bill by every
means in their power. At times
there was such mixing up of the
Honorables and distinguished and
facinating lobby that it would have
been difficult to have determined
which class really represented the
assembled wisdom of the State in
the upper branch of the General AS
sembly.
1t would have really been an in
teresting scene to the honest yeoman-
ry Of this State to have looked in up.
on the Senate Of the State on yester-
day, and to have observed what but
ton-hole lobbying, and what fascina-
tons and Establishments of the fair
sex Of the Capital now brought to
bear to carry through the measure to
expend two millions Of the peoples
money at this point. Thanks to the
sturdy and honest hearts Of the peo-
PIES representatives in the Senate
I think the bill is killed, and the peo-
pie will have an opportunity to say
hereafter when they elect theirrepre-
seatatives whether they want aState
House, and if 20 what kind and what
shall be the cost of the same.
The Democracy in the Senate with
their entire vote, eight in number, go
solid for the State House bill, and
with fifteen Republicans they man
age to cast twenty-three votes for
the bill, while twenty-five Republi-
can members vote solid against it.
OF the Senators absent / am in
formed three will vote against the
bill and one for it, 90 that the most
that the measure can get is twenty
four votes thus far, which il one less
than the requisite number to press
the bill Let it be yell UNDERSTOOD that
a large majority Of the Republican
Senator'S are voting against the bill
Though not positive I think I can
say tho bill for the construction Of a
Capitol Building will not pass the
Twelfth General Assembly.
