Cluuife in ike JOUMI! fke Stale of lowi Konoinf the Machine I! We loam from the mlutatory of the trew editor of the Journal, J. Tracy, li»triof Attorney, that he has taken possession of the concern and is running it in the name and for the benefit and behoof of the State of Iowa. But that we may give our read ers the entire force of the eloquent saluta tory of the State's editor we quote On my arrival here Saturday morning, I found the Journal office had changed hands, and had at the head of it« columns the Mason, Mahoucy & Co., seeeasiou tick et, with the name of Jairus E. Neal as candidate for member of Congress thereto attached. Believing the time had not yet arrived for the State of Iowa to furnish a newspaper to advoeate the election to of fice of sympathizers with the rebellion which now threatens the destruction of the i jvernment of our Fathers, in behalf of the State, I concluded to take possession of the Journal offu e at onoe, and now have the same in my possession. A Iaily and Weekly paper will be issu ed from the Journal office as heretofore, advocating the cau«e of the Union, the hanging ot traitors, and opposing seces sioni-m both South and North. It is be hoped that the loyal and I nion loving cisiiens of this county and State will promptly render all nec^sary aid which may be required to estabii.*h the Journal upon a firm basis, thereby assistinir the Administration in crushing out r*be31iuu, and the State of Iowa in realizing the amount of the School Fund claims. J. TllACV, Dirt Att'y, Now, whether the State of Iowa is moved more by patriotism or profit to go into the newtpaper buaiuesa, does not clearly appear. The people are exhorted to rally to the support of the State's press for the double purpose of assisting the Administration to carry on the war and the State to collect a bad old debt. What delightful union of patriotism and profit, not to mention the glory of the enterprise, —the patriotism for the Federal Govern Bieat, the profit for the State, and the glory to the aatute District Attori.ey editor. Quirk, Gammon and Snap in tbeir were regarded as sharp lawyers and close eollee^s, In,* 4*«irli? Oatatnee and Snap sink iuto obscurity compared with the ris ing District Attorney of Burlington Quirk,Gammon and Snap were well enough in their way and in ordinary case?, but it required the Napoleonic genius of a Tracy to meet the present emergency. He alone is equal to the occasion. He comprehend? the desperate character of the debt, and the imminent peril of the country, and re solves to kill two birds——* half dozen for all we know—with one stone. lie takes the press out of the hands of traitors and save* the country, but not satisfied with that he take* possession himself and saves thai three thousand dollar School Fund debt. To be sure the debt is not saved yet but then, thank heaven, the country is, and accepting the salvation of their country at the hand of Mr. Tracy with grateful hearts, the people will soon patronize the Suite's paper with sufficient liberality to enable the District Attorney to realize three thousand dollars out of the concern. In court* time they will V I Now it atrikes tw that the State of fowji is running it pretty sharp on us in this transaction. It claims by the District At torney to have saved the country from traitors, and appeals to the citizeus by their regard for their own interests as in volved in the prosperity of the State to patronize the State paper, that the State may "get her money back.*' We might under ordinary circumstances be able to run our establishment against that of the State, but this direct appeal to both pa triotism and profit^rather gets us down.— And, therefore, as a matter both of fair ness and propriety we suggest to the Dis trict Attorney editor, that he move the establishment up to Fort Madison where the State has already located her manu facturing interests and has her machin ery in operation, and where he will find a field better adapted to his peculiar genius. For if the State has a right to run newspaper office in Keokuk, we don't, bw whv no# a #w»ner altim a hlsieW- k smith or shoe shop, or even go into the dry-goods or grocery trade, or the butch ering business, or rent a vegetable market stall to sell green squashes rained on some of the State's mortgaged lands.

EDITOR :—As none of the newspa per correspondents have taken notice of the "Home Regiment,*' whieh waa organ ized at Primrose on the fth inst., I deem it propor to inform the public with regard A Thefce was good attendance of the various independent companies from (he country round about. When the compa nies—twelve in number, though not all full,—were mustered into rank, Captain Hutch craft's "Marion Blues" of Clay Grove were given the first plaoe, because, I suppose, of their superior discipline and military drill. The candidates for the office of Colonel were Captain Richard Emerson, of Salem, and Gen. E. A. M. Swasey, of Fariuing ton. Mr. Emerson was the successful candidate. This is a good selection. As to his military experienceand ability there can be no doubt. He is an energetic offi cer, a worthy man and a brave soldier. Captain K. W. Hutchcraft, of Clay Grove, and Captain Tuttle, of Farming ton, were the candidates for Lieutenant Colonel. Capt. Tuttle was elected. Capt. Tullus, of West Point, and Capt. Bay lex, of Ililisboro, we*e the candidates for the office of Major. Mr. Tullus was elected, and so far his election gives gen eral satisfaction. The object of the "Home Regiment" is h** protection, to drill often enough to acquire skill and confident*, so as to be able to repel invasion and to afford pro tection to our homes on the border, while our volunteer soldiers are absent fighting our battles for the Cniou and the Consti tution. The first grand regimental drill will take place at Clay Grove, on Friday, the 21st instant. Captain Hutchcraft is now raising a company for the regular service under Col. Moore. Some of the returned volun tecrs have joined his company. There is yet room, and if any wish to join a moral company under a Christian officer now is the time. By the way, as there is a new regiment forming it would not be amiss to suggest Capt. Hutchcraft for the office pf Colonel. He would make a splendid and an efficient officer. He once, 1 believe, held the office of Colonel as aid to the Governor of Ken tucky. UNION. tor VtlasiMtt, EDITOR GATE CITY :—I feci it an im perative duty devolving on me to put cer tain persons in mind of pledges made to volunteers. Our company, as you are aware, was the first one raised in Keokuk to volunteer for the war and as you arc also aware it was with the greatest diffi culty that the company was started, every one appearing loth to enlist, and as an in ducement our patriotic citizens held sever al meetings and liberally subscribed a sum for the support of those that had families who would come forward aud volunteer to light the battles of their country. Uuder the sacred and binding promise of many of the best and wealthiest citizens of the place, that their families would be taken care of, these brave and true men enlisted to serve their country for three long years. Men who are good mechanics, and who made for their families a living aud some thing over to school their children, gave up all for the paltry pay of a soldier, be lieving aud trusting in the honor of these men who had so sacredly pledged them selves. Judge, now, the feeling of these men, bound, as it were, haud and foot for three long years, on receiving letter* from home, from mothers and sisters, stating their wants, aud that the small amount which had been reluctantly doled out to them for a few weeks was entirely cut-off, leaving them helpless and in want of the actual necessaries of life, and at the same time Government has failed to pay the small amount coming from that quarter, or nearly so, as the soldiers of this regi ment have received but ©10 in the last three months. Can nothing bo done? What has be come of that large fund so praise worthily and liberally subscribed? It cannot all be used up so soon. We have but very few in our company who have drawn on it. Or can it be possible that people have reconsidered what perhaps they did in haste, and now refuse that pitiful sum which is nothing to them but everything to those who cannot live without it. T. I.

The Nora Hcotnm reached Londonder ry on the evening of the 4th. Political news by the Anglo Saxon is unimportant. Great Britaifi.—-The'L^ndon Times says the impression seemed be rerv treueral at Liverpool, that passengers to or fmm ihe nited St ttes are required to be cau tious at the preseut juncture against any expression of opinion on the civil war.— The policy of working on short time pre cautionary against the cotton supply, and of the glutted state of a distanf market tor manufactured goods, continued to make pro grtss in Lancashire. The London Times in an editorial on the present aspect of American affairs, argues that euough has transpired to sho» that the subjujration of the South is next to iuqtossible, and submission in the high est degree improbable, all the events of the war thus far having beeu favorable to the South. It says the establishment of passports, the suspension of the habeas corpus, and ot ler kindred measures, all of which are unavoidable, make travelere find themselves more at liberty in Vienna than in New York. The Times doubts much whether the Americans, after the war is ended, will retain the old form of tvernnient. It thinks there must be two governments, that they will be loss democratic, and that the North bears a resemblance to the lost republie. It was reported that Austria and Spain had addressed n note expressing their in tention, iu the event of the French tr«K»ps icing withdrawn from Rome to each place regiments at the disposal of the Pupal Government. The French rteam frigate which was at Halifax, received orders on the 18th of Aug., to proceed to Vera Cruz. rJ he Patrie says this measure is attrib utable to the difficulties which have re cently arisen between the French repre sentatives and the Mexican confedera tion.

The Wheeling Intelligencer makes an expose of this, in connection with the Pittsburgh Gazette, whose correspondent at Clarks burg writes: "The Quartermaster of this post is Leib, of Chicago. Most of the talk I have heard here in army matters consists in denun ciations of this gentleman, both loud and deep.
