A reliable gentleman, who believes (be Democratic party as at present organi- zed is honest and loyal—who is in favor of a magnanimous peace-opposed to confis- cation, emancipation, arming negroes, captur- ing rebel strongholds, and to the draft—to act as a candidate for Governor of Iowa. No person need apply who thinks he would be a "d—d fool" to stand upon the platform we of- fer. In consideration of the services of such a man, we pledge a Governor's salary—provi- ded the soldiers' vote is constitutional, and he gets a majority of votes. No person need ap- ply unless he will stick by the party, right or wrong. Sealed proposals will be received by Ncse-Tweaked Byington until the October election. An Advocate of* Secession. We have a very distinct recollection, that at about the time " ten-cent Jimmy " went out of the White House at Washington, followed by the prayers of Floyd and Wig- fall, a number of distinguished gentlemen rep- resenting chivalrous constituencies ; n the Sunny South said to the Sumners, Wades, Shermans and Lovejoys of the North: "Gen- tlemen, back square down from your Chicago platform, abandon your puritanical notions concerning our colored population, or we, as representatives of the land of chivalry and negro concubines, bloodhounds and bowie knives, will leave these halls of legislation, and thereupon the sovereign States we here represent will leave the Union and de- lare the partnership existing for more than eighty years dissolved." The "puritanical fanatics" aforesa d, having examined the Chicago plat- form, found it a very elevated one, and to back down from it would be a very dangerous undertaking, and therefore very wisely con- concluded not to back down, but to stand upon it until time should demonstrate its weakness and unfitness. Accustomed to ready obedience at home on their plantations, the chivalry smelled the battle of the irrepressible conflict from a short distance, unless they recalled their im- perious demands. Their education had been, that when a nigger was commanded, he must obey—that his master's wish was law, and never having been defied by their property, really thought themselves monarchs of all they surveyed. They couldn't back down— no, not they! So they carried their threat* into execution and dissolved partneship with the " mud-sills," greasy mechanics ar.d poor white trash of the North. The white men of the N^rth for once proved themselves supe- rior to the black men. Threats would not in- timidate them or cause them to deviate from the path of duty. Well, as we said before, they went out like unclean spirits, and if they had only possess ed the good sense or devilish spirit of some Biblical swine, and gone down into the sea, the world would have been better off, provid- ed the sea was deep enough. Their going out was called secession, and that is very legal treason. After they went out, they must of course stay out, or have their pro- gramme fail. To stay out would necessarily involve fighting, and this would be the overt act. Secession we say is treason. With this preface, we approach oar sub- ject, for an introduction of which into re- spectable society we beg pardon of our in- ' -^rfgenT^-riiacier^ -Tkf^object is the loyalty of the Muscatine Courier. The text is taken, from last Saturday's paper, in the following words: " If, when Congress meets next December, it sh 11 be fou-d that the Administration has succeed d in obtain-ng a majoity of Abo i tionists in the House of Representatives, through the instrumentality of such orders as were issued in Kentucky, we boldly declare that we bt lieve God and the country will for- ever smile upon the Democratic party, if Dem ocratic members leave the House, break up a quorum, and prevent abolition legislation." From a careful reading of the context, we it, that this great aposile of South Caro lina Democracy in Iowa, means this: That on the fifth day of August, by virtue of law, a State election came off in Kentucky—that it contains a very numerous body o! traitors iiM tb*, V«d«xml authority or Constitu ion; that not a month has pasted I since May, 1861, that armed bodies of rebels! have not invested the State; that in the lat- ter days of July, a force of near ten thousand rebels were moving through Kentucky to re- inforce Morgan, ostensibly, but really to pre- vent the election. Louisville was threatened, and the city was all excitement. Gen. Burn- side proclaimed the State again under mar- tial law, and declared that the laws of Ken- tucky relating to voting must and should be enforced. The laws of Kentucky require that judges and clerks of elections shall be UNCONDITIONAL UNION MEN, and that NO DISDOTAL FXBSON sha'l exercise the right of suffrage. No person there is allowed to vote who will not sub- scribe an oath that he " has never entered the service of the Confederate States, has not been engaged in the service of the so-called Provisional Government ot Kentucky, either in a civil or military capacity, and has never directly or indirectly aided ia the rebellion against the United States, or State of Ken- tucky." The military orders were that no one should be allowed to vote unless known to be loyal to the State and Federal Govern- ment and in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war for the suppression of the rebellion. The Courier finds fault, and declares that for a man to be unconditionally in favor of the Union and a vigorous prosecution of the war is to be an abolitionist. That is the meaning his language conveys. The military orders were simple reiterations of the Ken- tucky laws prohibiting a disloyal man from voting, and thereupon the Courier cries " barbarous." Had every traitor in Kentucky, including the invaders armed to the teeth, to prevent a fair election of Union men, been permitted to vote, the Courier would have cried "glorious." But as disloyal men could not vote, the Cour- iers friends were robbed of the elective fran- chise. The only question to consider was, whether it was better for Burnside to secure the election of only Union men under the operations of martial law; or whether only disloyal men should be elected under the di- rection of armed rebels. We, for one, prefer the former course, and if all the unconditional Union men in Kentucky are abolitionists, we prefer them to traitors—that's all. But if unconditional Unionism prevails in Kentucky and loyal men only are returned to the next Congress, then says the Courier editor, "we boldly declare that we believe God and the country will forever smile upon the Democratic party, if Democrats leave the House, break up a quorum and prevent abo- lition (loyal) legislation." 'Twas treason for the South to secede. To secede from the halls of Congress is revolu- l ion—to declare yourself no longer a part of the Government. The proceedings advocated by the Courier man is treason to this Gov- ernment. We have uniformly advised our readers to obey the laws, and under no circumstances to resist the execution of any of them.'' But we are free to say that the time has passed when the public mind should be permitted to be poisoned by the fool, treasonable breath of the editor of the Courier, and a repetition of the offense would demand the author's exit from our midst, if martyrdom was not of his own seeking. But there is a point where forbearance ceases to be a virtue. The loyal citizens of Muscatine, having contended so long against nullification and secession, are not prepared to tolerate the dangerous here- sies at their own doors. If this be advoca- ting mobs, then make the most of it. Sup- pressing treason is a duty of loyal citizens, And we believe that Mr. Thayer has no more right to advocate secession in Iowa than Yancey had in Alabama. He may cunning'y conceal his violation of law, but in these days of popular excitement and Copperhead vio- lence, the safety of the State may require a recognition of the law of necessity. Having sent 50,000 brave men from our fire- sides to fight the very heresy now advocated by the pitiful tool of treason in this city, the people of Iowa WILL NOT tolerate it at home. Because the people of Kentucky choose to send unconditional Unionists to Congress may be a good reason for a traitor, in the stolen cloak of Democracy, to secede from the Federal Union. But because a vile tool of Jeff. Davis has been tolerated to publish his treason for six months past unmolested, is no reason why he should be permitted to do so for six months to come. And this THING of an editor proclaims himself a friend of law and order! A very cheap ticket should be fur- nished him to migrate among his friend- 1 .— His contemptible insignificance is his armor of safety. Let him wear it. •BrIff. den. Roberts. Hie Davenport Democrat , referring to our strictures on Gen. Roberts for refusing to take any action when called upon by Mr. Sanders for aid to put down the Copperhead rebellion 'Keokuk county, says: The moment the Governor called on Gen. Roberts and represented the magnitude of the riot and expressed fears that befor.- he could collect a sufficient militia force to disperse the rioters, that serious collisions would take place, and that lives and property were in danger, the General at the Governor's request, halted the Seventh Cavalry on its march to Missouri, until a telegram of the Governor's could reach Washing'on,and the orders of the Secretary of War could be had. In Tact, as we understand this case, Gen. Roberts did all that a ini'itary officer cosld or should do. The Seventh Cavalry were en route to another De partment by tne order of the Secretary ol War, and although within the military dis trict of Iowa, their control had passed to Gen. Schofield, to whom they had been ordered to report. We are pleased to learn that Gen. Roberts did take action in this matter, as far as he felt authorized to do so. Our information was that he refused the Governor also, when applied to for aid by him. It was upon this information that we condemned his conduct. We have no disposition to do him injustice, and therefore cheerfully make the amende honorable. Is Gen. Tattle an "Abolitionist?" The Dubuque Herald wishes to know whether "on the occasion of a visit of Adju- tant General Thomas to Gen. Tut tie's com- mand, the latter officer advocated the arming of negroes to aid in prosecuting the war against the South ?" For the benefit of the Herald, we will state th*t Gen. Tuttle's com mand, while at Duck Port, Lou siana, we be- lieve was drawn in line, or square, and ad- dressed by Gen. Thomas, who made known the policy of the Government in relation to arming negroes. He was fallowed by Gen. Tuttle, Democratic candidate for Governor of Iowa, who approved the policy indicated by Thomas. Gen. Tuttle was followed by Maj r Henry O'Connor of the S5th Iowa, and it was temarked at the time by one present not in the service, " that Tuttle was more of an ab- olitionist than O'Connor." These facts were written us by our correspondent at the time and have since been vouched for by Mr. O'Connor in a personal interview. As to the second inquiry, " Did Gen. Tut- tle, or not, send fugitive slaves up from Cairo to Chicago and other places in Illinois, &c.?" we will state what is well known here, espe' dally by those who obtained from Gen. Tut- tle's department the persons and services of "reliable contrabands," that no fugitive slaves were sent off by Gen. Tuttle, but that the •property of fugitive masters were. Sev eral articles of property belonging to Gideon J. Pillow, a fugitive rebel, found their way here, bonds for the faithful keeping of which were given Gen. Tuttle. During Gen. Tut tie's reign at Cairo, no contrabands were sent North except under his supervision. For one, we don't think any the less of Gen. Tuttle for these things, but only wonder at his being found in company with such poli'i cal confederates as the editor of the Herald. Gen. Tuttle did endorse the policy of arming negroes to aid in prosecuting the waragamst the South, and he is responsible for the ne- groes sent from Cairo into Illinois and Iowa, while in command at this point, as we can fully prove,—all of which is respectfully sub mitted to the Herald without money and without price. At Berrien, Michigan, a barrel of sorghum syrup was stored away some fiVe years ago, and it was recently tapped, when the contents were found to be white sugar. Letter from, the 3Sth Regiment. CSMPON BLACK RIVEB, [ IN BEAR OF VicikSBUKO, Aug. 2d.) At last the campaign isended, and the army of the Tennessee, worn out by the hardships it has undergone, is encamping on the banks of the Big Black preparatory to taking a rest of a couple of months. It is needless for me to recapitulate the results of this campaign, as the readers of the JOURNAL are fully alive to their importance. Mississippi is conquer- ed, and the rebe lion in this locality, at least, is finished. From all I can learn there is a strong disposition on the part of the n tion to return to its allegiance, and again " keep step to the music of the Union." Not that they view the Government with any more affection than formerly—they are yet bitter secessionists—but, (so they express it) " whipped, and what is the use of fighting when a man has got both of your thumbs in his mouth!" THE THIRTY-FIFTH. Nothing has transpired in the Regiment since we came into camp. The boys divide their time between cooking, eating and sleep- ing, and make full hands at either. Ripe fruit in abundance abounds in this neighbor- hood and as it cost nothing but the gathering it is superfluous to add that the boys have all they wish. '1 he health of the Regiment is improving rapidly in fact there are but few dangerously sick, the most of those "off duty" being men that have not yet recovered from the march. MAJOB KEELER'S DIFFICULTY. As many rumors have made their way home by this time in regard to this lamenta- ble affair, it may not be out of place to give a full explanation of the matter. The facts are simply these : A cotton gin on the road side was found to be on fire, and Gen Sher- mai., investigating the matter, " fastened" on to the Thirty-Fifth. The Regiment was drawn up in line, and Orderly Blank, of Co. A. was arrested. As soon as Major Keeler as- certained the cause of Blank's arrest, he rode up and informed the General that he alone was responsible. He was immediately arrested and his shoulder straps and sword taken away from him. A court martial was ordered the next day, which, it is understood fully and honorably acquitted him of all blame. The "sword and the torch" was under stood to be the principle we were working upor., and the fact that the first arrests for arson should bo made at this late day is cer- tainly astonishing. Gen. Sherman in his re- marks to the regime^, however, said that he had long been endeavoring to ascertain the names of those who were firing buildings along our line of march, but until that time h id been unsuccessful. He has not yet, I think, d'scovered those mostly engaged at the business, as this cotton gin is certainly the first building ever fired by any one connected with the 35th. The matter occasioned considerable talk, not only in our regiment, b t in the whole brigade. The honorable acquittal of Major Keeler by the court gives general sat- slaction to all—particilarly in our regiment, wh -re he is regarded as an excellent officer and a gentleman—two qualities that men in authority, in this part oi the country, do not always enjoy. GOING HOME. Quite a number of the boys start home this evening on furloughs. Five per cent, of the army will be allowed thir y days in which to visit the'r friends in the North. Not wish- ing to f'ijhten anybody, I will conclude this letter by advising those gentlemen in the North who bave stigmatized us as 4 Linroln hirelings," &c., to think a moment before they tell the I'oys this to their faces. The late irafting riots have not s eetened the temper of the soldiers to any great extent, and it i< barely possible, that, recollecting the hard- ships they have endured, while those abus- ing them have been at home enjoying the comforts of life, they might give their tradu- cers a pra ticil illustration of the way their "southern brethren" are handled. In fact make them see _ * * * IOWA NEKS. -Never since Iowa has been settled by the white man have prairie chickens been as num- erous a4 at the present season. In Buchanan and Blackhawk counties, they can be killed with stones and clubs. KILLED BT LIOHTSINB,—A girl named Amanda Janetta Rutherford, aged 12 years, was killed by lightning in Camp township, Polk county, on the 3d inst., while pitching sheaf oats from a wagon. Her two brothers who were w : th her at the time were struck down insen-ible. HOMICIDE.—J. C. Vance, of Union town- ship, Desmoines county, Bhot and killed a young man named Henry Haynes, in his melon patch, on the 7ih inst. The evidence shows that Vance committed the deed delib- erately, while conoealed only a short distance from Haynes, his gun being loaded with slugs, and the charge taking effect in the head. He was committed to jail in default of giving $5,000 bonds. The Burlington Hatolceye says there is intense excitement in the neighbor- hood in regard to the affair. SEDCCT-ON AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—At Keokuk, on Monday, I. H. Calvert shot W. H. Austin for seducing his wife. The ball struck the breast bone and glanced off with out doing fatal injury. Calvert waB arrested and held to btil in the sum of $1000. EIGHTH CAVALRY FULL.—The Davenport Gazette states that eleven companies have already been reported for the 8th cavalry, be- sides seve al squads, and there is reason to believe that enough men have now been re- cruited for the regiment. Only one com any has as yet gone into quarters at Camp Mc Clellan. There are two reasons given by the anti-draft men why the draft should not be made. One is that it is impo sible to put down the rebellion by force of arms, and, theref re, that the war should at once be stopped. The other is that the rebellion is so far subdued th it no more soldiers are nec- essary. Both strong—if they were true. A NEGRO REGIMENT IN IOWA.—We learn from good authority that Gov.

By the following note from a trustworthy source, it will be seen that Gen. Tuttle is not at all flattered by the Copperhead nom- ination, and that he utterly refuses to be used for ihe base purposes contemplated by the conspirators: OTTUJIWA, Aug. 10, 1863. EDITOR HAWKEYE :—Gen. Tuttle passed through Keokuk and up on the railroad home- lie says be will not run on the Copperhead ticket for Governor, or anything else He says he would rather run a ticket nom- inated by Southern rebels in arms, as they are all more honorable men than Le Grand Byington, Ac., &c. He speaks of Copper- heads in worse ttrms than you or I can find words to express. B. The Keokuk County War. The Washington Press, of yesterday, gives a detailed and interesting statement of the late troubles in Keokuk county. Wo glean a few facts which have not appeared in our col- umns: Syp. Talley, as he was generally known among his friends, was a man of about twenty- five years of age. He was a minister in what is known as the Missionary or Union Baptist denomination, and lived on a firm near Ioka, in the Southern part of Keokuk county, where a wife and two or three small children still survive him. It has been but a few months since he became the most prominent speaker for the Copp rhead portion of the Democratic party in this county; and latterly has been aim"st cot stantly engaged in traveling about making speeches th ee and four hours in length, and of the most inllatuatory and treasonable character. He advocated peace by the immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of the Uni n army. He dwelt long on the corruption of the "Abolition Ad ministration," making it out worse than Jeff. Davis'. He would show the bravery and en- durance of the rebels, and the impossibility of their being conquered. He was quite a ready and fluent sp. aker, but his speeches consisted almost entirely of mere declamation. Whin he hid concluded his speech at South English, just before the fatal encounter, he flourished his revolver in the air, calling out, "Now boys, l<;t us go back into town and drive the devils out and burn the d—n t o w n . " * * * * * * * The following are the names of the Union men arrested at South English and held to bail in the sum of $2,000 tachfor ki ling Talley: Henry S. Downs, Thos. Morgan, Page Morgan, D. M. Phelps, Frank Adams, D. A. Gow, Norman Sloan, Amos Fluckey, r. J. MOOT man, Ed. Cabler, Geo. G. Kouk- wright, James Moorman. They are among the best men in the county—two of them, Thomas Morgan and T. J Moorman, are old and respected citizens—the most unlikely men in the world to engage in a riot. The part taken by the younger Moorman was cer- tainly a very bold, and all will acknowledge, a\ery injudicious one; but there are few loyal men that wll blame him when they re- member that he was incited to the daring deed by seeing on the breasts of men in Tilley's crowd, the treasonable emblems of the enemies of the Govern went—enemies that had uiade him a cripple for life perhaps.— The rebels of the South were long ago called " Butternuts," from the color of their clothes, and of course a man in the North who wears a butternut breastpin plainly shows his sym- pathy with the butternut rebels of the South, so, at least, it is understood by a great many p rsons If Democrats are loyal, they will discourage the wtaring of these butternut bretistpins. There is no doubt that the number of men engnged in the mob was largely exaggerated Probably this was done for intimidation From reliable sources it is ascertained that the numb. r was never larger than one thousand. Mr Sanders, county clerk at S gourney, esti- mated it at 850. They were organized in pquads and companies and were encamped along the creek b xtoms, where their friends supplied them with provisions and whisky. They were armed with shot guns, rifles, re- vo'vt rs, Ccrn cutters, &c., and were composed of the lowest, most ignorant and vcious c'ass of the community, some of them being bare- f ot and bareheaded. Bill Jordan of Rich- land, is reported to have said of them, that af er robbing a widow of all her bee hives, and c ickens, they commenced to organize by adopting the rule, that the man who could count fioe was entitled to a corporal's position, and he who counted 100 was to be Brigadier Ge ieral 1 Although this is a "joke," it fairly repr sents the character of the mob. Warrants have been is«ued for the arrest of 25 or 30 of the most prominent leaders of the mob, and up to Monday night some eight or nine of them were brought in. Among them were : Bill Small, (said to be Comman- der-in-Chief,) Russel Iliggins, D. N. Hender- son, John Cochran, F. A. Dorr and Sant. Leathers Henderson demanded an imme- diate trial, and "ccordinglv he h id a hearing before Judge ^Rogers (County Judge) on Monday afternoon. He was held to appear at the next term of the District Court in the sum of $1,000. The others gave bail in a like sum. Late Monday night three others were arrested for appropriating their neigh- bor's shi ep for the subsistence of the m"b.— So that to the crime of conspiracy, is added that of sheep s'e ding. The whole thing wiil be legally investigated and the guilty punished Thus ends this atone time formidable in- surrection, and " all is quiet on the Skunk." VICKSBUBG, July 31, 1863.

X. py The English secession sympathizing journals argue, like the Copperhead press in this country, that the late Union victories do not amount to much after all. The Army and Navy Gazette (Russe l's paper), however, does not see matters in that light. It regards the situation as looking extremely gloomy for the rebel cause. Charleston it considers in great danger, and if Ciiarle ton falls, Savan- n th must follow. This, in common with other London journals, sees our chief dangtr in * failure to increase our army by means of a draft, l ow thoroughly the Copperheads a^ee with our enemies abroad in this respect; hence the opposition of the Secession sympa- thizers in the North to the draft. fy We are glad to see so many of our soldiers, officers and enlisted men, returning to the State on short leave of absence from Grant's army. The officers get 20 days fur- lough and the men 30. They have fairly earned the privilege of visiting their homes and friends and we rejoice that they have been permitted to do so. $9 A Union Mass Convention for the State of Illinois is lo be held at Springfield on the 3d of September Some of the most eloquent speaker* the country present.

Senator Trumbull has removed his resi- dence from Alton to Chicago Illinois. Gen. Schenck has issued an order forbid- ding army officers to stop at Barnum's hotel, the reputed secesh headquarters in Baltimore. The Richmond Enquirer quotes watermel- ons at ten dollars a piece, pears 25 to 50 oentg each, and blackberries plentiful at ten dollars per bushel. A sale of U. S. "Five-twenties" was made at the New York Stock Exchange on the 5th inst., at $1 Olf. If they are already above par what may we expect them to be when the war doses ? A grand International Wheat Show is to be held at Rochester, September 8th, Oth and 10th, 1863. Competiiion is open to the world, and premiums are offered amounting to $540. The l*te Lydia J. Kotch, of Boston, left $15,000 in trust to T. Parsons and others, for ihe benefit of the general convention of the believers of the doctrines of the New Jerusalem church in the United States. At New Orleans, on the 4th, General Emery issued a call for three or four regi- ments of men to serve for sixty days in de- fense of the city. In just three days four full negro regiments were raised, organised, clothed, armed and equipped. Capt. Perley, of the 6th Missouri infantry, fell from a fourth story window of the Gayoio Hcuse, in Memphis, on the night of the Sth inst., and was instantly killed. It is supposed that he fell asleep while sitting in the window to enjoy the cool breeze. His home was nt Litchfield, III., whither he was going at the time of his death. The War Department has recently decided, in the case of Sergt. Quin'on, of the Sth Ohio regiment, that discharged soldiers are entitled to the $100 bounty. Ht-retofore decisions of the officers connected with the Paymaster's department have been against the allowance of thit bounty to discharged soldiers. The decision of the War Department, however, is eminentlyjust, and is important to every sol- dier who has been or may be honorably dis- charged for any reason, and furnishes further evidence of the liberality of the government towards its noble defenders. Iowa Democrats Again Called To Arms. Le Grand Byington, the valiant Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, has issued another manifesto to the "faith- ful," in which after giving a list of appoint- ments to be filled by "distinguished speakers," he says: '•As the work of killing Democratic speak- ers has already commenced, the Democracy of these counties are entreated to turn oat to a man to these meetings, determined to pro- tect their spokesman." This appeal to violence and riot is issued "by order of the Democratic Central Commit- tee." Why could not these "peace" Demo- crats advise a recourse to "law" for protection instead of calling their followers to arms f Why do they thus invite strife and bloodshed in Iowa t—bmenport Gazette. HOBBIBLE TBAOKDY.—A horrible tragedy occurred in San Francisco on the 2d inst. Dr. George W. Beers with his wife and child, a little girl ten years of age, were found lying dead at their rooms. It would appear that the parents, having resolved upon the suicide, had administered strychnine to their child, and the mother took a similar dose. It was also apparent that the father, to end the suf- ferings of his child, or stifle her cries, had taken an iron weight and fractured her skull; that the same instrument had been used in putting an end to the wife's sufferings, there being similar marks about her head, and the pillow being saturated with blood. The husband and father then disposing himself upon the bed with his wife, having previously arranged a bucket at the bedside, with an instrument from his pocket surgical case, severed the artery at the wrist of his right arm, and holding it over the vecsel placed at the bedside, literally bled to death, the orainary sized bucket being nearly filled. A letter addressed to Mrs Julia C. Doug- lass, Brooklyn, N. Y., was found as follows: "My Dear Wife's Mother—I take your daughter with me, rather than see her die by inches, as her father did, before my eye*. Pardon the act, for we have suffered much for each other's sake. Gio. W. BUBS." It is said that mortification at his ill-success in three lectures which he had advertised, combined with evident want and destitution, was the exciting cause of this horrible act jyA letter to the New York Times says of Gen. Farnsworth, who was killed at Get- tysburg: Gen. Farnsworth's body was pierced by five balls—one in each leg, one through the shoulder, one through the stomach, and the last one just above the heart. When found his face was as calm and plea«ant as when in life. The last shot must have killed him in- stantly. His remains were interred at Gettys- burg.

TH03. F. WltHROW. Ch'm Repub. State Central Com.

Wanted! A reliable gentleman, who believes (be

Democratic party as at present organi­zed is honest and loyal—who is in favor of a magnanimous peace-opposed to confis­cation, emancipation, arming negroes, captur­ing rebel strongholds, and to the draft—to act as a candidate for Governor of Iowa. No person need apply who thinks he would be a "d—d fool" to stand upon the platform we of­fer. In consideration of the services of such a man, we pledge a Governor's salary—provi­ded the soldiers' vote is constitutional, and he gets a majority of votes. No person need ap­ply unless he will stick by the party, right or wrong. Sealed proposals will be received by Ncse-Tweaked Byington until the October election.

An Advocate of* Secession. We have a very distinct recollection, that

at about the time " ten-cent Jimmy " went out of the White House at Washington, followed by the prayers of Floyd and Wig-fall, a number of distinguished gentlemen rep­resenting chivalrous constituencies ;n the Sunny South said to the Sumners, Wades, Shermans and Lovejoys of the North: "Gen­tlemen, back square down from your Chicago platform, abandon your puritanical notions concerning our colored population, or we, as representatives of the land of chivalry and negro concubines, bloodhounds and bowie knives, will leave these halls of legislation, and thereupon the sovereign States we here represent will leave the Union and de- lare the partnership existing for more than eighty years dissolved." The "puritanical fanatics" aforesa d, having examined the Chicago plat­form, found it a very elevated one, and to back down from it would be a very dangerous undertaking, and therefore very wisely con-concluded not to back down, but to stand upon it until time should demonstrate its weakness and unfitness.

Accustomed to ready obedience at home on their plantations, the chivalry smelled the battle of the irrepressible conflict from a short distance, unless they recalled their im­perious demands. Their education had been, that when a nigger was commanded, he must obey—that his master's wish was law, and never having been defied by their property, really thought themselves monarchs of all they surveyed. They couldn't back down— no, not they! So they carried their threat* into execution and dissolved partneship with the " mud-sills," greasy mechanics ar.d poor white trash of the North. The white men of the N^rth for once proved themselves supe­rior to the black men. Threats would not in­timidate them or cause them to deviate from the path of duty.

Well, as we said before, they went out like unclean spirits, and if they had only possess ed the good sense or devilish spirit of some Biblical swine, and gone down into the sea, the world would have been better off, provid­ed the sea was deep enough. Their going out was called secession, and that is very legal treason. After they went out, they must of course stay out, or have their pro­gramme fail. To stay out would necessarily involve fighting, and this would be the overt act. Secession we say is treason.

With this preface, we approach oar sub­ject, for an introduction of which into re­spectable society we beg pardon of our in-

' -^rfgenT^-riiacier^ -Tkf^object is the loyalty of the Muscatine Courier. The text is taken, from last Saturday's paper, in the following words: " If, when Congress meets next December,

it sh 11 be fou-d that the Administration has succeed d in obtain-ng a majoity of Abo i tionists in the House of Representatives, through the instrumentality of such orders as were issued in Kentucky, we boldly declare that we bt lieve God and the country will for­ever smile upon the Democratic party, if Dem ocratic members leave the House, break up a quorum, and prevent abolition legislation."

From a careful reading of the context, we it, that this great aposile of South Caro

lina Democracy in Iowa, means this: That on the fifth day of August, by virtue of law, a State election came off in Kentucky—that it contains a very numerous body o! traitors

iiM tb*, V«d«xml authority

or Constitu ion; that not a month has pasted I since May, 1861, that armed bodies of rebels! have not invested the State; that in the lat­ter days of July, a force of near ten thousand rebels were moving through Kentucky to re­inforce Morgan, ostensibly, but really to pre­vent the election. Louisville was threatened, and the city was all excitement. Gen. Burn-side proclaimed the State again under mar­tial law, and declared that the laws of Ken­tucky relating to voting must and should be enforced. The laws of Kentucky require that judges and clerks of elections shall be UNCONDITIONAL UNION MEN, and that NO DISDOTAL FXBSON sha'l exercise the right of suffrage. No person there is allowed to vote who will not sub­scribe an oath that he " has never entered the service of the Confederate States, has not been engaged in the service of the so-called Provisional Government ot Kentucky, either in a civil or military capacity, and has never directly or indirectly aided ia the rebellion against the United States, or State of Ken­tucky." The military orders were that no one should be allowed to vote unless known to be loyal to the State and Federal Govern­ment and in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war for the suppression of the rebellion.

The Courier finds fault, and declares that for a man to be unconditionally in favor of the Union and a vigorous prosecution of the war is to be an abolitionist. That is the meaning his language conveys. The military orders were simple reiterations of the Ken­tucky laws prohibiting a disloyal man from voting, and thereupon the Courier cries " barbarous."

Had every traitor in Kentucky, including the invaders armed to the teeth, to prevent a fair election of Union men, been permitted to vote, the Courier would have cried "glorious." But as disloyal men could not vote, the Cour­iers friends were robbed of the elective fran­chise. The only question to consider was, whether it was better for Burnside to secure the election of only Union men under the operations of martial law; or whether only disloyal men should be elected under the di­rection of armed rebels. We, for one, prefer the former course, and if all the unconditional Union men in Kentucky are abolitionists, we prefer them to traitors—that's all.

But if unconditional Unionism prevails in Kentucky and loyal men only are returned to the next Congress, then says the Courier editor, "we boldly declare that we believe God and the country will forever smile upon the Democratic party, if Democrats leave the House, break up a quorum and prevent abo­lition (loyal) legislation."

'Twas treason for the South to secede. To secede from the halls of Congress is revolu-lion—to declare yourself no longer a part of the Government. The proceedings advocated by the Courier man is treason to this Gov­ernment.

We have uniformly advised our readers to obey the laws, and under no circumstances to resist the execution of any of them.'' But we are free to say that the time has passed when the public mind should be permitted to be poisoned by the fool, treasonable breath of the editor of the Courier, and a repetition of the offense would demand the author's exit from our midst, if martyrdom was not of his own seeking. But there is a point where forbearance ceases to be a virtue. The loyal citizens of Muscatine, having contended so long against nullification and secession, are not prepared to tolerate the dangerous here­sies at their own doors. If this be advoca­ting mobs, then make the most of it. Sup­pressing treason is a duty of loyal citizens, And we believe that Mr. Thayer has no more right to advocate secession in Iowa than Yancey had in Alabama. He may cunning'y conceal his violation of law, but in these days of popular excitement and Copperhead vio­lence, the safety of the State may require a recognition of the law of necessity.

Having sent 50,000 brave men from our fire­sides to fight the very heresy now advocated by the pitiful tool of treason in this city, the people of Iowa WILL NOT tolerate it at home. Because the people of Kentucky choose to send unconditional Unionists to Congress may be a good reason for a traitor, in the stolen cloak of Democracy, to secede from the Federal Union. But because a vile tool of Jeff. Davis has been tolerated to publish his treason for six months past unmolested, is no reason why he should be permitted to do so for six months to come. And this THING of an editor proclaims himself a friend of law and order! A very cheap ticket should be fur­nished him to migrate among his friend-1.— His contemptible insignificance is his armor of safety. Let him wear it.

•BrIff. den. Roberts. Hie Davenport Democrat, referring to our

strictures on Gen. Roberts for refusing to take any action when called upon by Mr. Sanders for aid to put down the Copperhead rebellion

'Keokuk county, says: The moment the Governor called on Gen.

Roberts and represented the magnitude of the riot and expressed fears that befor.- he could collect a sufficient militia force to disperse the rioters, that serious collisions would take place, and that lives and property were in danger, the General at the Governor's request, halted the Seventh Cavalry on its march to Missouri, until a telegram of the Governor's could reach Washing'on,and the orders of the Secretary of War could be had. In Tact, as we understand this case, Gen. Roberts did all that a ini'itary officer cosld or should do. The Seventh Cavalry were en route to another De partment by tne order of the Secretary ol War, and although within the military dis trict of Iowa, their control had passed to Gen. Schofield, to whom they had been ordered to report.

We are pleased to learn that Gen. Roberts did take action in this matter, as far as he felt authorized to do so. Our information was that he refused the Governor also, when applied to for aid by him. It was upon this information that we condemned his conduct. We have no disposition to do him injustice, and therefore cheerfully make the amende honorable.

Is Gen. Tattle an "Abolitionist?" The Dubuque Herald wishes to know

whether "on the occasion of a visit of Adju­tant General Thomas to Gen. Tut tie's com­mand, the latter officer advocated the arming of negroes to aid in prosecuting the war against the South ?" For the benefit of the Herald, we will state th*t Gen. Tuttle's com mand, while at Duck Port, Lou siana, we be­lieve was drawn in line, or square, and ad­dressed by Gen. Thomas, who made known the policy of the Government in relation to arming negroes. He was fallowed by Gen. Tuttle, Democratic candidate for Governor of Iowa, who approved the policy indicated by Thomas. Gen. Tuttle was followed by Maj r Henry O'Connor of the S5th Iowa, and it was temarked at the time by one present not in the service, " that Tuttle was more of an ab­olitionist than O'Connor." These facts were written us by our correspondent at the time and have since been vouched for by Mr. O'Connor in a personal interview.

As to the second inquiry, " Did Gen. Tut­tle, or not, send fugitive slaves up from Cairo to Chicago and other places in Illinois, &c.?" we will state what is well known here, espe' dally by those who obtained from Gen. Tut­tle's department the persons and services of "reliable contrabands," that no fugitive slaves were sent off by Gen. Tuttle, but that the •property of fugitive masters were. Sev eral articles of property belonging to Gideon J. Pillow, a fugitive rebel, found their way here, bonds for the faithful keeping of which were given Gen. Tuttle. During Gen. Tut tie's reign at Cairo, no contrabands were sent North except under his supervision.

For one, we don't think any the less of Gen. Tuttle for these things, but only wonder at his being found in company with such poli'i cal confederates as the editor of the Herald. Gen. Tuttle did endorse the policy of arming negroes to aid in prosecuting the waragamst the South, and he is responsible for the ne­groes sent from Cairo into Illinois and Iowa, while in command at this point, as we can fully prove,—all of which is respectfully sub mitted to the Herald without money and without price.

At Berrien, Michigan, a barrel of sorghum syrup was stored away some fiVe years ago, and it was recently tapped, when the contents were found to be white sugar.

Letter from, the 3Sth Regiment. CSMPON BLACK RIVEB, [

IN BEAR OF VicikSBUKO, Aug. 2d.) At last the campaign isended, and the army

of the Tennessee, worn out by the hardships it has undergone, is encamping on the banks of the Big Black preparatory to taking a rest of a couple of months. It is needless for me to recapitulate the results of this campaign, as the readers of the JOURNAL are fully alive to their importance. Mississippi is conquer­ed, and the rebe lion in this locality, at least, is finished. From all I can learn there is a strong disposition on the part of the n tion to return to its allegiance, and again " keep step to the music of the Union." Not that they view the Government with any more affection than formerly—they are yet bitter secessionists—but, (so they express it) " whipped, and what is the use of fighting when a man has got both of your thumbs in his mouth!"

THE THIRTY-FIFTH. Nothing has transpired in the Regiment

since we came into camp. The boys divide their time between cooking, eating and sleep­ing, and make full hands at either. Ripe fruit in abundance abounds in this neighbor­hood and as it cost nothing but the gathering it is superfluous to add that the boys have all they wish.

'1 he health of the Regiment is improving rapidly in fact there are but few dangerously sick, the most of those "off duty" being men that have not yet recovered from the march.

MAJOB KEELER'S DIFFICULTY. As many rumors have made their way

home by this time in regard to this lamenta­ble affair, it may not be out of place to give a full explanation of the matter. The facts are simply these : A cotton gin on the road side was found to be on fire, and Gen Sher-mai., investigating the matter, " fastened" on to the Thirty-Fifth. The Regiment was drawn up in line, and Orderly Blank, of Co. A. was arrested. As soon as Major Keeler as­certained the cause of Blank's arrest, he rode up and informed the General that he alone was responsible. He was immediately arrested and his shoulder straps and sword taken away from him. A court martial was ordered the next day, which, it is understood fully and honorably acquitted him of all blame.

The "sword and the torch" was under stood to be the principle we were working upor., and the fact that the first arrests for arson should bo made at this late day is cer­tainly astonishing. Gen. Sherman in his re­marks to the regime^, however, said that he had long been endeavoring to ascertain the names of those who were firing buildings along our line of march, but until that time h id been unsuccessful. He has not yet, I think, d'scovered those mostly engaged at the business, as this cotton gin is certainly the first building ever fired by any one connected with the 35th.

The matter occasioned considerable talk, not only in our regiment, b t in the whole brigade. The honorable acquittal of Major Keeler by the court gives general sat-slaction to all—particilarly in our regiment, wh -re he is regarded as an excellent officer and a gentleman—two qualities that men in authority, in this part oi the country, do not always enjoy.

GOING HOME. Quite a number of the boys start home

this evening on furloughs. Five per cent, of the army will be allowed thir y days in which to visit the'r friends in the North. Not wish­ing to f'ijhten anybody, I will conclude this letter by advising those gentlemen in the North who bave stigmatized us as 4 Linroln hirelings," &c., to think a moment before they tell the I'oys this to their faces. The late irafting riots have not s eetened the temper

of the soldiers to any great extent, and it i< barely possible, that, recollecting the hard­ships they have endured, while those abus­ing them have been at home enjoying the comforts of life, they might give their tradu-cers a pra ticil illustration of the way their "southern brethren" are handled. In fact make them see _ * * *

IOWA NEKS.

-Never since Iowa has been settled by the white man have prairie chickens been as num­erous a4 at the present season. In Buchanan and Blackhawk counties, they can be killed with stones and clubs.

KILLED BT LIOHTSINB,—A girl named Amanda Janetta Rutherford, aged 12 years, was killed by lightning in Camp township, Polk county, on the 3d inst., while pitching sheaf oats from a wagon. Her two brothers who were w:th her at the time were struck down insen-ible.

HOMICIDE.—J. C. Vance, of Union town­ship, Desmoines county, Bhot and killed a young man named Henry Haynes, in his melon patch, on the 7ih inst. The evidence shows that Vance committed the deed delib­erately, while conoealed only a short distance from Haynes, his gun being loaded with slugs, and the charge taking effect in the head. He was committed to jail in default of giving $5,000 bonds. The Burlington Hatolceye says there is intense excitement in the neighbor­hood in regard to the affair.

SEDCCT-ON AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—At Keokuk, on Monday, I. H. Calvert shot W. H. Austin for seducing his wife. The ball struck the breast bone and glanced off with out doing fatal injury. Calvert waB arrested and held to btil in the sum of $1000.

EIGHTH CAVALRY FULL.—The Davenport Gazette states that eleven companies have already been reported for the 8th cavalry, be­sides seve al squads, and there is reason to believe that enough men have now been re­cruited for the regiment. Only one com any has as yet gone into quarters at Camp Mc Clellan.

There are two reasons given by the anti-draft men why the draft should not be made. One is that it is impo sible to put down the rebellion by force of arms, and, theref re, that the war should at once be stopped. The other is that the rebellion is so far subdued th it no more soldiers are nec­essary. Both strong—if they were true.

Rpams the Copperheads—" The, Mew York Soulier" Gone up-More Business tor a "Reliable l>emocrat." By the following note from a trustworthy

source, it will be seen that Gen. Tuttle is not at all flattered by the Copperhead nom­ination, and that he utterly refuses to be used for ihe base purposes contemplated by the conspirators:

OTTUJIWA, Aug. 10, 1863. EDITOR HAWKEYE :—Gen. Tuttle passed

lie says be will not run on the Copperhead ticket for Governor, or anything else

He says he would rather run a ticket nom­inated by Southern rebels in arms, as they are all more honorable men than Le Grand Byington, Ac., &c. He speaks of Copper­heads in worse ttrms than you or I can find words to express. B.

The Keokuk County War. The Washington Press, of yesterday, gives

a detailed and interesting statement of the late troubles in Keokuk county. Wo glean a few facts which have not appeared in our col­umns:

Syp. Talley, as he was generally known among his friends, was a man of about twenty-five years of age. He was a minister in what is known as the Missionary or Union Baptist denomination, and lived on a firm near Ioka, in the Southern part of Keokuk county, where a wife and two or three small children still survive him. It has been but a few months since he became the most prominent speaker for the Copp rhead portion of the Democratic party in this county; and latterly has been aim"st cot stantly engaged in traveling about making speeches th ee and four hours in length, and of the most inllatuatory and treasonable character. He advocated peace by the immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of the Uni n army. He dwelt long on the corruption of the "Abolition Ad ministration," making it out worse than Jeff. Davis'. He would show the bravery and en­durance of the rebels, and the impossibility of their being conquered. He was quite a ready and fluent sp. aker, but his speeches consisted almost entirely of mere declamation. Whin he hid concluded his speech at South English, just before the fatal encounter, he flourished his revolver in the air, calling out, "Now boys, l<;t us go back into town and drive the devils out and burn the d—n t o w n . " * * * * * * *

The following are the names of the Union men arrested at South English and held to bail in the sum of $2,000 tachfor ki ling Talley: Henry S. Downs, Thos. Morgan, Page Morgan, D. M. Phelps, Frank Adams, D. A. Gow, Norman Sloan, Amos Fluckey, r. J. MOOT man, Ed. Cabler, Geo. G. Kouk-wright, James Moorman. They are among the best men in the county—two of them, Thomas Morgan and T. J Moorman, are old and respected citizens—the most unlikely men in the world to engage in a riot. The part taken by the younger Moorman was cer­tainly a very bold, and all will acknowledge, a\ery injudicious one; but there are few loyal men that wll blame him when they re­member that he was incited to the daring deed by seeing on the breasts of men in Tilley's crowd, the treasonable emblems of the enemies of the Govern went—enemies that had uiade him a cripple for life perhaps.— The rebels of the South were long ago called " Butternuts," from the color of their clothes, and of course a man in the North who wears a butternut breastpin plainly shows his sym­pathy with the butternut rebels of the South, so, at least, it is understood by a great many p rsons If Democrats are loyal, they will discourage the wtaring of these butternut bretistpins.

There is no doubt that the number of men engnged in the mob was largely exaggerated Probably this was done for intimidation — From reliable sources it is ascertained that the numb. r was never larger than one thousand. Mr Sanders, county clerk at S gourney, esti­mated it at 850. They were organized in pquads and companies and were encamped along the creek b xtoms, where their friends supplied them with provisions and whisky. They were armed with shot guns, rifles, re-vo'vt rs, Ccrn cutters, &c., and were composed of the lowest, most ignorant and vcious c'ass of the community, some of them being bare-f ot and bareheaded. Bill Jordan of Rich­land, is reported to have said of them, that af er robbing a widow of all her bee hives, and c ickens, they commenced to organize by adopting the rule, that the man who could count fioe was entitled to a corporal's position, and he who counted 100 was to be Brigadier Ge ieral 1 Although this is a "joke," it fairly repr sents the character of the mob.

Warrants have been is«ued for the arrest of 25 or 30 of the most prominent leaders of the mob, and up to Monday night some eight or nine of them were brought in. Among them were : Bill Small, (said to be Comman-der-in-Chief,) Russel Iliggins, D. N. Hender­son, John Cochran, F. A. Dorr and Sant. Leathers Henderson demanded an imme­diate trial, and "ccordinglv he h id a hearing before Judge ^Rogers (County Judge) on Monday afternoon. He was held to appear at the next term of the District Court in the sum of $1,000. The others gave bail in a like sum. Late Monday night three others were arrested for appropriating their neigh­bor's shi ep for the subsistence of the m"b.— So that to the crime of conspiracy, is added that of sheep s'e ding. The whole thing wiil be legally investigated and the guilty punished

Thus ends this atone time formidable in­surrection, and " all is quiet on the Skunk."

py The English secession sympathizing journals argue, like the Copperhead press in this country, that the late Union victories do not amount to much after all. The Army and Navy Gazette (Russe l's paper), however, does not see matters in that light. It regards the situation as looking extremely gloomy for the rebel cause. Charleston it considers in great danger, and if Ciiarle ton falls, Savan-n th must follow. This, in common with other London journals, sees our chief dangtr in * failure to increase our army by means of a draft, l ow thoroughly the Copperheads a^ee with our enemies abroad in this respect; hence the opposition of the Secession sympa­thizers in the North to the draft.

fy We are glad to see so many of our soldiers, officers and enlisted men, returning to the State on short leave of absence from Grant's army. The officers get 20 days fur­lough and the men 30. They have fairly earned the privilege of visiting their homes and friends and we rejoice that they have been permitted to do so.

Mews Paragraphs.

Senator Trumbull has removed his resi-dence from Alton to Chicago Illinois.

Gen. Schenck has issued an order forbid-ding army officers to stop at Barnum's hotel, the reputed secesh headquarters in Baltimore.

The Richmond Enquirer quotes watermel­ons at ten dollars a piece, pears 25 to 50 oentg each, and blackberries plentiful at ten dollars per bushel.

A sale of U. S. "Five-twenties" was made at the New York Stock Exchange on the 5th inst., at $1 Olf. If they are already above par what may we expect them to be when the war doses ?

A grand International Wheat Show is to be held at Rochester, September 8th, Oth and 10th, 1863. Competiiion is open to the world, and premiums are offered amounting to $540.

The l*te Lydia J. Kotch, of Boston, left $15,000 in trust to T. Parsons and others, for ihe benefit of the general convention of the believers of the doctrines of the New Jerusalem church in the United States.

At New Orleans, on the 4th, General Emery issued a call for three or four regi­ments of men to serve for sixty days in de­fense of the city. In just three days four full negro regiments were raised, organised, clothed, armed and equipped.

Capt. Perley, of the 6th Missouri infantry, fell from a fourth story window of the Gayoio Hcuse, in Memphis, on the night of the Sth inst., and was instantly killed. It is supposed that he fell asleep while sitting in the window to enjoy the cool breeze. His home was nt Litchfield, III., whither he was going at the time of his death.

The War Department has recently decided, in the case of Sergt. Quin'on, of the Sth Ohio regiment, that discharged soldiers are entitled to the $100 bounty. Ht-retofore decisions of the officers connected with the Paymaster's department have been against the allowance of thit bounty to discharged soldiers. The decision of the War Department, however, is eminentlyjust, and is important to every sol­dier who has been or may be honorably dis­charged for any reason, and furnishes further evidence of the liberality of the government towards its noble defenders.

Iowa Democrats Again Called To Arms.

Le Grand Byington, the valiant Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, has issued another manifesto to the "faith­ful," in which after giving a list of appoint­ments to be filled by "distinguished speakers," he says:

'•As the work of killing Democratic speak­ers has already commenced, the Democracy of these counties are entreated to turn oat to a man to these meetings, determined to pro­tect their spokesman."

This appeal to violence and riot is issued "by order of the Democratic Central Commit­tee." Why could not these "peace" Demo­crats advise a recourse to "law" for protection instead of calling their followers to arms f Why do they thus invite strife and bloodshed in Iowa t—bmenport Gazette.

HOBBIBLE TBAOKDY.—A horrible tragedy occurred in San Francisco on the 2d inst. Dr. George W. Beers with his wife and child, a little girl ten years of age, were found lying dead at their rooms. It would appear that the parents, having resolved upon the suicide, had administered strychnine to their child, and the mother took a similar dose. It was also apparent that the father, to end the suf­ferings of his child, or stifle her cries, had taken an iron weight and fractured her skull; that the same instrument had been used in putting an end to the wife's sufferings, there being similar marks about her head, and the pillow being saturated with blood.

The husband and father then disposing himself upon the bed with his wife, having previously arranged a bucket at the bedside, with an instrument from his pocket surgical case, severed the artery at the wrist of his right arm, and holding it over the vecsel placed at the bedside, literally bled to death, the orainary sized bucket being nearly filled.

A letter addressed to Mrs Julia C. Doug­lass, Brooklyn, N. Y., was found as follows:

"My Dear Wife's Mother—I take your daughter with me, rather than see her die by inches, as her father did, before my eye*. Pardon the act, for we have suffered much for each other's sake.

Gio. W. BUBS." It is said that mortification at his ill-success

in three lectures which he had advertised, combined with evident want and destitution, was the exciting cause of this horrible act

jyA letter to the New York Times says of Gen. Farnsworth, who was killed at Get­tysburg:

Gen. Farnsworth's body was pierced by five balls—one in each leg, one through the shoulder, one through the stomach, and the last one just above the heart. When found his face was as calm and plea«ant as when in life. The last shot must have killed him in­stantly. His remains were interred at Gettys­burg.
