€l)kagcr tribune. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 21,1883. ENFORCE THE CONFISCATION ACT. The enforcement of the Confiscation Act, in all the districts subject to our arms and laws, is a necessity that the Adminis tration cannot afford to overlook. We Bay nothing of the righteousness of the penalties which that act provides for the crimes of winch the rebels are guilty, -because the people, who do not stop at the slaughter op rebels by wholesale, do iiot need to be convinced that the taking of rebel property, even to the uttermost cent is a punishment lighter than the tak ing of life; and that, if the latter is defen* able and right, the former cannot be . mong. Confiscation is the extremes! mercy that any rebel has the moral right to expect or claim, : Who shall pay? is the vital question— we of the North; and our children to the tenth generation—we who are conscious of no diaobediesjee to law, no infiddityto the spirit of our institutions, no of the authority of the Government,—we ! who have made such unexampled sacri fices of money and life daring two years of war, that the Constitution might be ' preserved and the country made free, — _ ..shall we be saddled with the great debt .that Congress has been obliged to con . tract? Or shall the man-sellers and ma lignants, who incited the rebellion in the - hope .of gain and from motives of re venge upon •us because we were more; free,, more prosperous and t - happier than they,—shall they be made to bear their part? Shall those who! dance pay the fiddler ? This Is the question that the people of the North will begin to dis cuss; and we tell the Administration that the fathers and mothers who have given „ their sons, , young men- who have given their brothers, and others who have given and lost their triends, will decide that they * have done enough, and that the. rebels : must settle the bills, or at least that the property of the leaders and organizers . shall fill up the gap! This has been a gigantic rebellion; the criminality that conceived it is monstrous; and in the conquest we fail to do justice to ourselves and those who come alter us, if we do not exact penalties proportioned to the crime that our armies overcome. The object soughts for justify the extrem ist measures that have yet been devised. To punish those who have been so wan tonly guilty of offences against God and . man, and to make of their crimes such on example that all the future will be warned * sot to ♦become their imitators, are the demands of the occasion and the situation. And behind these is another thing not less imperative; and that is to use the weapons . which the Government rightfully wields, to break the pecuniary strength of that wicked slave power, to the end. that it shall raise its arm ed hand against the Constitution and the laws no more. .HebeUion with it was as much a speculation as it was a revenge. To have, hold, whip and work new gangs of slaves; to occupy and curse new and more fertile fields, and to make itself the fat and potent arbiter of the worid*s peace, and the spring of the world’s commercc-r-these were the day-dreams of the Tombscs, Davises, tVises, Slldells and their Confederates, who, that they might be powerful and rich—nabobs and .aristo crats—brought &U this trouble upon us. They have failed; and now let them pay. We pity the ignorant men whom they have seduced from duty by the glittering pros pect of great rewards, as we pity in private life the dupes and accomplices of those who organize crime on a smaller scale; but as they hoped to gam by success,let them saf er by the miscarriage. Our pity does not extend to forgiveness and absolution. This Is a world of compensations. Let them smart! Left, as* they demand to he, in possession of their slaves, their boosts and their lands, they cannot, though foiled and beaten, but watch and wait for a new op portunity to cany out what they began. Crime that has no penalties is safely re peated. But stripped of what ages of op pression have put in their coffers, and left without slaves, they, if still become powerless. Wealth is never so conspicuously a power as in war. We urge the Administration to its whole duty. There is the law-plain, direct, positive, obligatory. There arc the rebels and their property, the latter huge if not ' ample; the former stm defiant and unsub dued. ' The people of the North, before whom the prospect of taxation looms up with fearful nearness, will be sore to de mand that the law be enforced, that the property be confiscated to pay at least a portion of the accumulating debt! IBE KEW TORE WORLD AND EMANCIPATION. An institution (Slavery) whose political power is already gone, and whose amelioration and ulti mate extinction the Sooth will see to be for its plain advantage.—,V< tc York ’World. . If the World is convinced that the ex * Unction of slavery will be for the advan tage efthe South, why does it not set forth the reasons and facts which have it to that conclusion ? No jour nal in the country has more right to claim a candid and attentive hearing from the - slaveholding section, than the JTeto York " World ; because everybody in that part of the country who knows the history of that • sheet, has had abounding proofs of its de motion to their interests and cause, and knows that its championship of the slave ■’ holding side of the controversy has been so persistent and bold, as to have even . subjected it to charges of disloyalty and treason. If slaveholders would give their cars to any teacher who insisted upon the extinction of their cherished institution, they would surely hear the World;, and if it Is, as that print would seem to assert so plainly, for the advantage of the South to put .an .end to slavery, we do not see how the World can in honor and con science, refuse or delay to set forth with its ostial force and conclosiveness, the reasons which have compelled its assent to . the .ultimate extinction of slavery. Wc - «hnll look in the World for an able and pro found exposition of the plain advantage . t and. ..manifest policy of emancipation, which cannot fail to overcome the stub . horn pride and prejudice of our Southern brethren, and bring In at once that better -of reunion, peace, and freedom, for , which the country so anxiously waits. H* The Copperhead prints are now on the 41 war path” against the Proclamation suspending the wnt of habeas corpus, in cer tain cases. They are crying cffit that the "liberties of the people are in danger.” It is a sufficient answer to this lie to refer to thc language of the Prod&mation itself, which declares that the Tiaheas cor ymsls suspended only to prevent interior, once with deserters, prisoners of war, spies, conscripts and volunteers, on the part of secession sympathizers. The Pres- i ; idcut was obliged in sell-defense to pro* ; -claim its suspension. Throughout the country, enemies of the Government were firing the vfrit of habeas corpus to take con* scripts, substitutes and enlisted soldiers out of the hands ol the military authority, and turning them loose. They were liberating 1 spies, deserters and prisoners of war; they i were trying to get,up a conflict between the State Courts and the Federal Courts, - an J a collision between State Governments, ’where they have Copperhead Governors, . anS lhe National Government. The great ~, vrrit Was not Invoked to'protect the per -..isonalrights oflnnooent men, but to screen ; the guilty, and to weaken the arm of the Government in its contest with the rehel ; s lion; Ityrashigh time'to put a' stop to ' this notations business. The liabdu mrput • nought to have been suspended in the cases mentioned months ago. Bat the Presi -1 dent walted until the people might see to whatdidoyal uses the enemies of tbe Union were putting that writ In front of our armies the Confederates employ gunpow der and bayonets to resist the national authority, ■while the Copperheads opened a flre-in-the-rear, and by means of the Jtabeat. coTpvt, turned loose conscripts, deserters, spies and prisoners of war. That gun is spiked. When peace is established and the Union saved, the publiesafety will authorize the President to withdraw the spikes. ' ANOTHER HARES’ NEST. It is rumored on the authority of a British steamer from Havana, called the Plantagcnct, that there is an insurrection mSL Domingo. The New York which is always finding mares* nests, re lates the fact with til-concealed satisfaction, and adds that it has been instigated by the United Stales Government It avers, still, on the strength of the Britisher, that the parties in this-new smash up, are chiefly negroes who have been skit there by our wicked rulers at Washington for the express purpose of doing the mischief which they have ac complished; that all of them are well* aimed, and number upwards of two thou sand; that white men have been seen with this redoubtable black army “swarm ing like locusts for-the-destruction of the Dominicans and Spaniards.” It is a very wonderful thing if It he true; and the Express, although it has some doubts about it, would very much like to lay the flattering unction to its soul that true, it is 1 It is such : a fine chance to dig into Uncle Santis ribs, that at any rate, it must give him one, hoping that time and circumstance will justify the assault Of course, Unde Sam must he shown to have a reason for such remark able conduct, and the Express charges that our said “mine.unde** designs to hdp in the annexation of the Spanish portion of the Island to Hayti; and that he will then recognize the reorganization “in accordance with the lately declared European doctrine in regard to the French intervention, and Austrian Imperial ac quisition m Mexico, for “ the procure ment of better and more stable govern ment, to such nations and peoples, as may be in need ot them.** Bs*“Let Lee drive Meade into Wash ington and the success of the Democratic peace party would be no longer doubtful,” says the Richmond Enquirer —the organ of JefL Davis. There is an intimate relationship and a warm sympathy between Northern Cop perheads and Southern Confederates. A defeat of the rebels on the battle field does nearly as much harm to (he Copperheads as to the Confederates. When therehdlion is crushed by the bullets of our soldiers the Copperhead party will he tumbled into the same grave by the ballots of the loyal citizens. In life they were united. In death let them not be divided. Blockade Running at Wilmington. The shameless manner in which the block ade is left open at Wilmington,and contraband traders allowed to pass in and ont, induces us to believe that they do so by the criminal connivance of some of the Federal Captains on that station. Some of these captains are of very doubtful character. One was former ly a camp-follower or sutler, and another a New York emigrant-runner. We should hardly expect to see one of the worthies of this school relate the offer of ten or twenty thousand dollars down, for dropping a few miles to leeward, and showing hie blind side while a fat contraband trader ran in. We suggest to the Secretary of the Navy, that he better tun his eye to Wilmington; or, at least, change a few gunboats on that station. Gen* Grant’s Testimony. Hie Copperhead journals, immediately after the £Ol ol Fort Hudson, commenced the hue and cry against Gen. Banks, attributing the fall of that stronghold to Gen. Grant’s opera tions at Vicksburg. The N. X. Serais's Wash ington coirespondent says:. Grant writes that Banks Is entitled to fall credit lor the fall of Fort Hudson. “My success at Vicksburg,” he writes, u may have expedited the surrender of Fort Hudson a day or two, but no. more. The garrison were starving, and under no cir cumstances could hold out another week. Let Banks, a noble fellow, have all that belongs to him.” The Draft In Bbode Island. The draft in Bbode Island has been com pleted with the following result: Number required from the State S£Bo Number drafted .4,321 Held for service and equipped 75 Held and detailed SO Substitutes obtained 878 Total number of men obtained. Paid commutation Total number held 1,325 Commutation money received $133,600 Exempted. 2,761 Eebel BiSEBTEKs.—The Bichmond Exam aminer of the 11th Inst., fiajs that the North era Government and public are entertained with false stories of desertions from the rebel armies, and that this. “ hideous vice ” is not so prevalent now as it has heretofore heps But It is true-it admits—that of Southern calamities- has been caused by desertions, which have been of such charac ter as to make the Southern army no army at all, but some voluntary associations kept to gether by the spirit of the few and the coax ing of tic many. The rebel calamities in the Southwest axe all attributed to this state of things, and the writer Insists that if the Gov ernment permits its continuance “fhe'mbjn gallon of the Confederacy is nearly certain,* 1 and that it is useless to enlarge the circle of conscription whin men in the prime of life are nos retained when In the army. Ten de serters have lately been shot, and the JExam iner declares that the ranks of the army will outnumber the enemy on every field “when it is ascertained that every soldier who re ' mains at home does so to dig his own grave.* 1 • pw Had there been no Copperhead, party in the North, that is to say, had the. North kept its unbroken front, the rebellion would have been prostrated long since. Had the rebellion, on the other hand, not gained its military successes, the Copperhead! party would have never had a distinct existence. Each lived and thrived in the snccessofthe other. They culminated together—the one at Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania, the other in the riots. They will decline together. Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Knox ville, Chattanooga and Charleston have been telling with the same disastrous effect upon both. The Copperheads may again endeavor to make a stand at the ballot-box, bnt it is too late. They now have no more chance than have the rebels with the cartridge-box. 'When the rebels drive our soldiers out of the field, the Copperheads may beat their loyal antagonists at the polls, and not till then. Important to Soldiers' Feiesds.—Here after certificates of pay. and bounty due de ceased soldiers will be paid only by the pay master belonging to the pay district from which the certificate emanates. When pre sented to a paymaster outside of the district from which they come, he win refer them to tie senior paymaster of the proper district for payment. The immense number of audi tor's certificates sow being riasued euder this precaution absolute! y necessary.; Chops m the Rebel States.—lt is stated that the wheat crop this season In the rebel States will foot up 59,639,500 which win be an'excess over the crop of 1860, as stated in the lastcensus, 0f28,273,600 bushels. The crops, it Is said, hare been gathered in good order. • Copperhead Veracity.—TheCopperheads, and chief among them Hr. Vallandlgham, bare been publishing the declaration that not a man, woman or chUd in the “Southern Conlederacy” desired a return to the old Union.* We see, in Gen. Burnside’s triumph al inarch to Knoxville, a singular comment upon their veracity. j * Durr or War Democrats.—Gen. Coch rane accepts the nomination of the Union Convention of the State of New Toric as can didate for Attorney General because, he says, he finds nothing in the platform with which he disagrees. He concludes his letter of ac ceptance as follows: • It is the cause of Democracy which it (the Convention) espoused—not of that nom inal Democracy that months it for the war, and sympathises with the rebels; nor of that craven Democracy which, chained by com mittees and cribbed by organizations, is pat upon its progress through our streets for the benefit or the proprietors—but of the Democracy which consists In the conflict of arms for the government of the people as sailed by arms; and, until the rebels against' the people and their Government cease from molettir g, I will unite with and aid all to compel tSemtolay down their arms Such, in my judgment, is the duty of all War Dem ocrtts. ; Official Vote or Portland. —The official vote of Portland, Me, for Governor, at the late election, was oa follows:—Cony, 2,037; Bradbury, 1,960; Union majority, 677. FROM SPRISGFIELD, The Gold In the Treaanrv—Correction “Cot. Tates at Galesburg— County Flections —The Cbnrcncs Loyal— Green county Baptists—Border Uof fi»n* and Refugees In the State. [Fiom onr Own Regular Correfpondent,] Spbikgfield Sept. 18,1553, THE GOLD IX THE TBEASUBT. The State Jicgiitcr baa been working up into a fit of very virtuous Indignation for the past few d ye about an article which appear ed in the St. Louis Democrat to the effect that the gold in the State Treasury had been disposed of for legal tender. An investiga tion was had at the request of Stame, and the gold was found to be there. Tbeßepnblican papers are denounced, &c.; Now, a precisely ' similar statement was made by the RfgUUr and Times of your city with regard to Mr. Butler,‘the former ‘Treasurer, who. asked for ah investigation. It was granted, and the chargepronounced false by a committee of the~Scnate, Tet these same papers, who' made the charge have never yet had the man liness to retract. But that is hot the point -In this case. The article In the Democrat did not so much reflect upon Mr. Starne as upon the Legislature,' which by neglecting to order the gold to he sold has caused a loss to the State of over SIOO,OOO. «The Legislature passed an act legalizing the payment of Trea sury notes for taxes, &c., thus doing away with the necessity of keeping any great' amount of gold on hand. This left $300,000 in specie in the Treasury, which they filled to order sold.' The Segister throws the blame upon the GovcrnorforprorogolngtheHouse, when the fhet is well known that they were in session for forty-two days at one time, and nine at another, and did less business than ever had been transacted for years prev iously by any similar body. By re fusing to order the gold to bo sold they virtually donated to Mr. Starne the sum ot SIOO,OOO or $120,000, because be can at any time, if he chooses, sell this gold and replace it with Treasury notes, and 1 see no way for the State to make him refund the difference. An action and Judgment against hisbail would hardly lie, as they could fall back upon the legal tender act of Congress, legalized by the Legislature, and defy the Conns. The affair has certainly a very fishy look, unless the Legislature means to plead the baby act, and say that they knew nothing of this gold, and unless Mr. Stame can show that he used due diligence in notifying the Legislature of the State ot ihe case, and praying for an act ena bling him to sell by public sale. Mr. Starne showed a great deal of diligence in the case of that $50,000 appropriation. Now, since the Legislature adjourned, he has lost more on that cold in his hands than twice that ap propriation, yet he never, so far as I can see, urged the passing of an act, by publicly c til ing the attention of the Legislature, to the case, and the necessity for its action in the premises, especially alter the legal tender act was passed. Some contend that Mr. Starne could have sold the gold by public sale with out as act, and have made a report of the net receipts to the Governor. If be had done so, no doubt the people of the State would have upheld his action. As It is, the thing remains in Uaiu quo. The gold is there, hat Is dally depredating. COBBECTION—GOV. TATES AT GALESBUBG. Tour Beporter at Galesburg made Got. Tates to say that be was in favor of raising negroes to citizenship. This is not the case He said nothing whatever on the subject, as r the ten thousand persons who heard him can testify. The report was sent by telegraph, and the operator at Galesburg, I understand, was cot in the habit ot sendiog such lengthy reports, consequently the error may have oc curred iuthat.way. I learn that a verbatim report of the speech of the Governor, which has been prepared, will be published, which will eet this matter entirely at rest COUNTY ELECTIONS. I would Impress upon our friends every where the necessity oi hard work at the com ing ccnnty elections. Union men every where should he up and doing. The enemy are active. ‘With their old tactics they are again seeking to do the devllsh work of last fall —that Ip, to divide and conquer. As an instance: The Union men of Bure&n county Lave nominated the following excellent tick et: C- J. Allen, Treasurer; C. C. Covel, School Co remise loner; F. W. Wlnship, Coun ty Sureyor. The Bureau County Ibtriot calls this a partisan ticket, and denounces the Union men for making any partisan nomina tions. Yonr readers will doubtless say this is cool, alter the partisanship of the Democ racy in the Constitutional Convention, after thdr partisan ticket last fall, and after the action of their most miserable partisan and traitorous Legislature. But the impudence of a Copperhead knows no bounds. THE CHUBCHES LOYAL—GBEENB COCNTY BAP- TISTS. The churches, which are the heart ol the world, ore loyal, thank God. Almost every where, except at the South, they give thdr testimony in favor of the Government. The Carrollon, Greene county, Baptist Association closed Us session on the 14th inst The con vention was a harmonious one, and a good degree of religious feeling was exhibited. The fcllowing resolutions, in regard to the great issues or the day, were passed by the Asso ci&tion: Whckeas, In the present civil war which Is de vastating oar land, the enemies of oar Govern ment have no Just cause for rebellion or com plaint, and are fighting to perpetuate a system of human servitude, and establish a system of aris tocracy inconsistent with dyQ and religions lib erty and the laws of Christ, and whereas religion should makccocd citizens, therefore, Rewired, That we feci it to be the duty of all Christians to give their earnest support to the Gov ernment in putting down the rebellion; to pray for our rulers, and refrain from speaking evu against them; to pray that God will give us com pute victory o?er all our enemies and a penna- throoghontthe Union. Rewired, That we acknowledge the justice of God in punishing ns as a nation for out sins, and fiel called upon to repent humble ourselves before Him who bolds onr destiny in his hand. Rewired, That we fed called upon to offer our devout thanks jiving to God for recent victories, and for tbr unexampled blessings we enjoy, even in these tronblous times, and for the Emancipa tion Proclamation, which we believe to 4>e not only a military necessity, but a righteous measure, in the right of a Just Government and the Chris tian world. These resolutions show that the cause Is whhing well, even away down in Egypt. BOEDER BCFFIANB AND BBFUGEB3 IN THE STATE. I have letters from various counties in the central and southern parts of the State, to the effect that a large number of Border Bufflans, bushwhackers, and refugees, from the Border States, are flocking into this. The Ute order of Gen.Ewing has driven a large number from Missouri. A man named Warfield from Missouri, for Instance, is in Moreau county. He is under SIO,OOO bonds for ms good be haviour. Another of these secession sympa thizers in Morgan, from Missouri, is named Dick Nclso. But the vast majority of them at e fellows who have had to fly for their lives on account cf their depredations upon Union men. Such characters do no good in this State. On the other hand, they are desperate and reckless men, and are among the leaders in all those attacks upon officers, resistance to the laws, &c., of fate so common in the State. ZD GAB COTOTYAfFAIBS. Three furloughed soldiers, one of them lame, were in a grocery, in Kansas, in the above comity, one day last week, when a man named Burton made the declaration that a soldier was no better than a nigger. Of course Burton was a Copperhead. After this assertion Burton and his brother setreated to another groceiy, into which the soldiers fol lowed them for an explanation. A row en sued which ended in the Copperheads get ting cleaned out.-More Copperheads, how ever, came to their aid, and again more Cop perheads got cleaned out. In the affray the two Burton's and two others were placed hors du eorhbat. AJame soldier on crutches did most of the fighting. For this act eight soldiers were arrested and taken before Justice Fonts at Paris. Their names were: Edward PHi ndi, John Shy, W. H. Brown, Elihu Polnell, Hemr Brown, Edward Dowden, Cyrus Stout, and lieut. P. P. Boyer. From Fonts they took a change of venue to Justice Otis Brown, who, on Saturday held them to bail before the notorious Judge Constable in the sum of SSOO each, on a charge of riot. Daring the examination of the soldiers, a large crowd of butternuts were in town watching the result, flourishing revolvers and hurrahing for Val landlngham. : They evidently seemed anxious to bring on a cclUfeion with the “ Abolition party/* as they coll the loyal people. In the afternoon, Bev. J. C. Kimber, of the Methodist Epis copal Church, was assaulted by a Copperhead Irishman named Costigon, who flung a large stone at him. This did not strike lum, but another, better aimed, did give the clergyman a severe wound on the side of the head, above the left temple. Mr. Kimber. turned and caught the man, and Mr. Wm, C. Walker and Mr. Bowen coming up, seized Costlgan, who was endeavoring to repeat the assault. Cottigan delivered himself up to Green Hawks, a butternut constable, who took him before Justice Fonts, who fined him in the sum of three dollars and costs. The next day suit was entered against Cos tifan for an assault with intent to commit great bodily harm, and he was held to bail in the snm of S3OO, to stand his trial before the Circuit Court. The bail bond was signed by Green Hanks (policeman), BUI Dell (consta ble), H. G. O’Hair (ex-sheriff), Jack Sloan (grocery keeper), Reams Keating and Dan. Morris, regular patrons of the grocer's bar. Immediately after, another salt was entered for personal damages, at $3,000, and the same parties went 'the Irishman's surety. The above will give yon an idea of the state of so ciety in Fans and vicinity. An Outrage upon a Batjxgad Train* East StTLodis. 111., » Sept. 14,1803. j Editors Chicago Tribune: As the < rain from this place over the C. A. &St L. R. H. was about leaving this morn leg, a most die graceful exhibition of (< Nigger on tbe brain 11 received a full exemplification. The 'busses hod crossed over from the city bringing the passengers for the train, the most of them having obtained, seats 'in the cars, a colored man, who had passed through the southern process of bleaching peculiar to the institution, was about entering the front coach, appropriated to gentlemen exclusive ly, when Charles Dunham, the conductor, stepped bciore him and informed him that he could not ride in aoy first class car on that train, npon which the negro exhibited his first class ticket sold him by the Agent at Bt.

The conductor thereupon opened a tirade of profane and abusive langusge, threatening by Ch-t if he dared to go to ne would knock his d—d head ofi quicker than h—U, etc., using much slang and vitupera tion/ The negro Informed Bald Dun ham that he actid npon his own resources, belngr courteous and gentlemanly ttmoughout Hie assault, eayisg at the close that be always endeavored to treat every one civilly and re x ectfully, and as a gentleman.

There were over twenty vacant Beats in the car, hut a colored man, nearly as white as the said conductor, and more gentlemanly, civil and respectful, who had paid first class fare coold not ride in a first-class car. A number ot the passengers gathered together and denounced and con* emned the Tow, abusive, profane and dishon orable conduct of the conductor, and your correspondent was unanimously requested, to sketch this outrage for publication in the Tribune, which I have herewith done, and leave comment to be substituted by reflec tion. H. IOWA STATE FAIR. Third Pay’s Proceedings, (From Our Own Reporter.] Dubuque, Sept 17,1663. The attendance has been much better to day, notwithstanding the weather was ex ceedingly. disagreeable—a cold north wind prevailing, interspersed with gusts of rain. But for the sudden change of weather, there would have doubtless been a large attend ance. The Herald of this morning says: “The Fair, os it now Is, will compare favora bly not only with any Fair ever held in lowa, bat with the usual run of Fairs inany State.” But many who are in attendance it as approximating very nearly to a failure. The County Fair, held here two years ago, is said to have been about as good la most re spects as this. There is a certain amount of bribery and corruption creeping into our State Fairs, which must be throttled, or they will soon become a. farce—a bye-word. The sooner the reform In this respect is inaugura ted, the better will it be for all State agricul tural and mechanical exhibitions. The move made by Geo. R. Chittenden, General Agent of Wheeler &iWUfion’a Sewing Machine Com pany, was a step in the right direction; mid, although the Board here had not the back bone to adopt the test questions he prepared,' and thereby secure an unbiased, disinterested Committee, that course will be adopted in regard to all classes of premiums, where there is any prospect of the Examining and Awarding Committtees being acted upon by outside influences, because decisions made by committees thus qualified, would be founded upon equity and Justice to all parties. As an nounced in my dispatch, Wheeler <& Wilson’s machines withdrew, because the Board re fused to adopt these questions for a test of qualification for the Awarding Committee. Some contend that the Wheeler & ■ Wilson machines would have borne off the first pre mium, while there are others who stated the first day that the* matter was all arranged, and another ma chine was sure to take the first premium. The following ore the questions insisted upon by Mr. Chittenden as the only fair basis of awards. It will Inaugurate a new system of impartiality of investigation In all depart- ■ meats, for sooner or later all Fairs will see it for their interest to adopt this plan. QUESTIONS. What Is your bnst&ess I . Are joa the possessor, or (If married) Is any member of yonrflunflyja possessor of a Sewing Mo chine? Have yon over had, or (if married) has any mem ber of your family ever had a Sewing Machine; if so. whose 1 » Have yon ever&scd Sewing Machines? Arc yon, or are yon not familiar with tbe opera tion of Sewing Machint a generally ? If not familiar with the operation of machines oer.erotfy.aieyon familiar with any one inpartlc nlary, and what one ? Have yon an opinion biased In favor of, or pre- Jndicea against any Sewing Machine? Are yon nearly or remotely interested in the success of any Sewing Machine on exhibition at. thisStaleFafr? Have yon any agency or any relative actin'* as agent for any Sewing Machine; if so, what Ma chine, and what relative ? Have yon advocated or expressed an opinion npon tbe merits of any machine to secure its sale, or otherwise ? Have yon had any communications with the agent or enb-agent of any Sewing Machine cither before or since yonr appointment to act upon this committee, relative to Sewing Machines on their exhibition at this State Fair? If so, from whom received, and the nature and purpoit of them ? will you giyc a full and impartial investigation of comparaiize merits of all Sewing Machines on exhibition at this State Fair, and to the best of your ability make an award to the machine or the machines you consider the most meritorious ? It should be stated that these questions were warmly seconded by Hon. George G.' Wright, President of the Fair, and Dr. T. K. Brooks, but they were overruled. It is now believed that bad the majority of the Board considered this importance, this plan wo'nld have been adopted upon first presentation, unanimously, save two or three exceptions. The whole number oi entries mode to the Fair are about 1,200. Amount received for en tiles, say SI,OOO. Tho rental of stalls and gate fees will more than treble that sum, probably. CATTLE. * The display of cattle is email, bat the stock is of a superior quality. A. H. &J. B. Day, of Van Bozen county, exhibltcd.thelr celebra ted herd of Barhams, which was greatly ad mired. They have one tWo belters —the fonhTsTr**' V?6odland Duke,” was purchased in Bourbon Co., Ky,. last De cember, and—weighs 11,300 pounds. The BroUuVtfTof Dnbnqne county exhibit a herd jSf two bulls, and twenty cows and calves. The bulls Perfection and Emperor, are thor oughbred, as, indeed, is all their stock pres ent. Perfection weighs 2,500 pounds, is 5 jears old, the other weighs 3,200. 8. F. No lan. of Derrynoiue, exhibited two 3-year old bulls, and Benedict Green, of Joue county, another Parham ball—all line stock. - Of the Devons, C. D. Bent, of lowa.- City, exhibited the largest collection, being all thoroughbreds. L.D.Randall&Co.,ofDu buque county, and Dr. Bucklln, of Jackson county, exhibits two bulls and a heifer. D.

Among the most important inventions ex hibited, and one within the reach of every farmer la u Palmer’s Excelsior Horse Pitch fork,” by the aiu of which a ton of hay can be moved from the wagon or ground to the barn, in from 3 to 5 minu'ea. The great scarcity of bands makes this all the more de- - {•liable now. No farmer who has used this and understands Us advantages, would do without it for ten times its coat, which is onlvSlfi. This fork took the first premium at the N. T. State Fair, also at this Fair and every ofher we understood where it has been shown.

Roebuck* A recent London letter says Retribution is flinty throwing its shadow over the unfortunate Mr. Roebuck. Kvca Sheffield is beginning to feel the weight of the incnbns that has so long oppressed it. A re quisition is now signing by numerous voters of that town, to Mr. J. Brown, the present Major, prajing him to allow himself to be put in nomination for the representation of that borough In Parliament at the next gene ral election. The movement Is openly avow ed to be dliected against Mr. Roebuck, and will, doubtless, be successful. The FowaSoldlen on Tattle. The following letter from a member of the 7th lowa, states the common feeling of the volunteers from lowa in relation to Gen. Tuttle, who is running os the candidate of the Copperheads: Moscow, Tenn., Sept. 13,1363, Well, It may not be out of the way to bring political news In this as our boys have com menced to take an active part in the fall elec tion. It is something they did not care much about when the war firot broke out, bat since the "fire in the rear” men have made bo much display of their power, the soldiers arc going to have a word to say and my opin ion Is they will Stone JSfr. Turtle till ne will sink into eternal infamy and disgrace, if he has not done so already. 1 know he has in the eyes of the soldiers. I suppose they (the Copperheads) thought by running a war ■man that they could deceive the soldiers and fettheir voice—but that’s “played out” oldiers keep pretty well posted in such mat ters through their friends at home and the boystfcatco home on furloughs, and voting for Gen. Tnttie or “ any other m?tn ” on that ticket is something they are not going to do —no matter what kind of a man he has been, heis killed dead, as soon 'as he consents to rnn on the Copperhead ticket, that is as far as the soldiers are concerned. Gen. Tattle ought to run well in our regiment and the 2d lowa, especially in the 2d, ma old regiment, but he will not do it. I have talked with several of the 2d boys and they say “d—n Tnttie.” We had a meeting a few evenings ago in our camp, it put me m mind of an old •fashioned Methodist class meeting—all spoke end gave their views in regard to the matter— resomtlons were passed denouncing Tuttle, makirg them as strong as we coold make them, and they passed unanimous—when the vote was taken every man yelled “aye” at the top of his voice, I have understood the Tlain Dealer has changed bands and is in for supporting the government, if such is the case I would like very much to see one loyal paper come from Fort Madison.. Hoping that it has changed, and Is “true grit,” I remain, Tours respectfully,* Dennis Morrison, 7th lowa Infantry. Departure of F. L. Olmsted for Califor nia. [From the N. T. Times, Uth inst] Mr, F. L. Olmsted sails to-day for Califor nia, where he is about to assume the position of manager for the Mining Company which has recently purchased the Mariposa estate freza Gen. Fremont. His loss will be felt keenly in the East, not only by troops of warm and admixing friends, but by the public, which, for more than seven years, he has served with a fidelity for which, in our day, it has. almost ceased to look. It is less than ten years since he wrote for this Joumal-the remarkable set of letters, which he afterwards republished in the volume known as the “ Seaboard Slave States,” and which, follow ed by the “Journey through the Back Coun try,” and the “Texas Journey,” have, perhaps, done more to influence public opinion touch ing the social and economical results of sla very. than all the rest of tbe innumerable pub lications put together, which- this absorbing controversy has, called forth. Lx fact they may be said to have settled at least the eco nomical side of the question in the eyes of all reflecting men here, as well os in England, where the bitterest enemies of the*Noith still quote Mr. Olmsted’s statements as conclusive proof. ' He was called, In 1857, to display in a wide ly different sphere, an order of talent of which his literary achievements had given ns no reason to suspect the existence. After bis appointment as Superintendent of labor in the Central Park, he became, in conjunction with Mr. Calvert Vaux, a competitor for the Srizes offered by the Commission for the best eslgn for the Pork, which was still to be made on the tract of pasture, swamp, or pig gery which defaced the centre of the Island. Be gained the first prize; his plan was adopt ed. and he was entrusted, as architect-in chid, with the pleasant task of carrying it ont. We all know and enjoy the result ia the shape of a public garden which has even now few equals in the world, in all that art and money can accomplish, and which needs bnt tbe foliage which time and nature will soon furnish, to be the fairest pleasure-ground that any city everposscsEed. De left the Park to become General Secre tary of the Sanitary Commission, at the out-' break ot the war. - How well he discharged this mission of mercy, thousands on thoas ac ds of the victims of this great struggle can test fy. Hundreds of those who were struck down, either by disease or bullets, in the cam paign on the Peninsula, owed life itself to the admirably organized ch&rlty which he, aided by a email band of volunteers, many, if not most of them, women, dispensed on the Pa munkey River before and during the terrible seven days. And over since there has not been amorch,'a bivouac or a battle field, la the-Eost. on which he has not directed the labors of the commission m bringing comfort and succor to thousands of core sufferers. Gen* Garfield and TaUandlgham* Gen. Gaifield, cf the army oi the Comber land, has written a scathing letter to the Union Central Committee oi Ohio, exposing the talsehopds and treason of Yallandlghazn. In the course of the letter the General says that il Vallandlgham had attempted to ascer tain the sentiments of its citizens, he would have found that nine out of every ten were In favor of immediate submission to the Feder al Government. The General concludes his letter thus; • When Mr. Yallandlgham states that the leaders of this rebellion nnonlmouslyexpress their willingness to discuss the question of a return to the Union, he cither entirely Jbr gets nfe converEations with rebels or reckless ly states a falsehood. In a full and frank conversation between himself and Governor Harris (rebel Governor of Tennessee) the latter, after heating Mr. Vallandlghan/s statement of his own opin ions and policy* said in the presence of many witnesses: 41 You totally misunderstand ua. We have resolved to listen to no terms short of-the total separation and absolute indepen dence of tbe South, and we wQI accept no boundary south of the line of the Ohio and the Potomac. Negotiation on other basis is utterly useless. ACopperheadßully Klckedbya lady. Thc Bocklond (Me.) Gazette tells the follow ing story In relation to tho gross brutal in sult of alady of that place by one A. P. Gould: The lady whom be insulted bad no; male friend by her side to resent the attack, but we are informed that a sister who accompanied her—a* lady who has suffered for loyalty's sake among southern rebels, and knows how to estimate northern traitors—expressed her contempt of this gentleman (!) by a few ap plications of the soles of,a pretty thick pair of boots to his person.
