Congressional Convention*
On the Grst page of this pap^1
be found a call for a convention of the
Union men of the Sd Congressional
District, to be held at West Union on
the 24th proximo, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for Represen
tative to Congress. There is no doubt
that Col. Allison, the present incum
bent, will be nominated for reflection,
by acclamation. So far as we have
learned, there will be no other candi
date before tho Convention. It ap
pears to bo the settled determination
of the people ef Iowa to return our
present Representatives to Congress,
and we regard this as the true policy.
Iowa has a Congressional delega
tion of which any Stato might well
be proud. They arc tried and true
men—each zealous to subserve
the
terests of his constituents—and it
would be the height of folly
to
legislation.

not be understood to
say that occasional changes may not
bo desirable and proper but the idea
we wish
to
convey is, that legislation
is a trade which needs to be learned
before oue can become a proficient and
influential legifilator and having once
acquired this knowledge it 16 better
for all concerned that such person
should not bo set aside
for new and in
experienced aspirants.
Col. Allison has
been
very faithful
and atteutivc to the interests of his
constituents, and has already done
more to actually benefit his District
than was ever beforo done for it, in
Congress, since Iowa became a State
in the Union. We therefore regard it
not only just to hiiu bat due to our
selves that be be elected for a second

FIBS.—On Tuesday afternoon onr
citizens were startled by the cry of
fire. The fire was found to proceed
from a drying house or kiln which Mr.
Lehmkuhl had extemporized for sea
soning the lumber for finishing his new
store. The flames were shortly sub
dued, but not till one or two hundred
dollars worth of lumber had been de
stroyed.

Oar Iowa readers will recollect tbe
exceedingly smoky stats of tho at
mosphere some days since. It now
appears that this smoke was caused
by fires in tho pineries of Northern
Wisconsin. It is stated that the dam
age will amount to more than $150,
000. In many instances whole vil
lages were destroyed, and with such
haste and fury that tho inhabitants
had to flee for shelter under the bluifs
of the lake, leaving their cattle and
horses in their retreat, which in many
cases were devoured by the flames.
A large amount of tau-bark, lumber
and cord wood was destroyed.
Our farmers are now briskly engag.
ed with their wbeat harvest. The
chinch-bug has committed some dep
redations in certain fields, but tbe
damage is not extensive, and it is be
lieved the preseut wheat crop of Floyd
county will fully equal the average of
former yeara. Harvest hands are
charging from $2,50 to $3,00 per day.

cently informed some of his prisoners
that during the week previous he had
captured and burned ten vessels. He
said his stay on the coast would be
short, but that ho would make a call
again shortly, when least expected.
The second gunner on board the Flori

tho Revenue Cutter from Portland

her crew attacked the American con

Hunter's army being far away, and
any present tronble from that quarter
out of the question, the rebels—say
15,000 to 20,000—pushed across into
Maryland, and after threatening Penn
sylvania from Ilagerstown, turned
short to the right, and captured Fred
erick, driving thence a hastily collect
ed Union force under Gen. Lew. Wal
lace, who on Saturday, July 9th,
fought them nearly all day at tho
crossing of the Monocacy river, near
Frederick, but was ultimately defeat
ed with heavy loss and driven back
on tho road toward Baltimore—but
not into that city, as some of the pan
ic-makers tried to mako out. We
have the following account of the
BATTLE AT MONOCACY, MB.
The Federal troops formed in line
of battlo on the left of tho railroad
and on the east side of the river. On
the right two Ohio regiments wore
thrown out as skirmishers. The lat
ter were attacked at 7^ in tho morn
ing by cavalry from the Hagerstown
pike, when they fell back across the
river in good older and with slight
loss fightiugall the way. After cross
ing, they succeeded in checking the
advance of the enemy and held him
here a long time. About 10 a. m., a
desperate attack was made by dis
mounted cavalry, which was repnlsed,
and notwithstanding they repeatedly
tried to dislodge our men from the po
sition, they could not succeed. Their
loss hero wa« very heavy, our men
having the advantage of using rides,
while they had only carbincs. After
fighting until 3 p. m.,a heavy body of
the enemy—four regiments—were dis
covered to be moving upon our left
flank, having crossed the river some
distance below, aud, in consequence,
onr troops had to abandon their posi
tion and full back. Tho enemy fol
lowed for about three miles, but with
out inflicting much damage. Our loss
in the actiou is said to be about 1,600
in killed, wounded and prisoners.

levied
a tax on Middle-
town of $20,000. The women, it is
reported, were insulted, their clothes
were stolen, and
nnmerooa outrages
were committed.
The couduct of Gen. Wallace was
highly creditable to that gallant offi
cer. Collecting what force could be
bad at the ntomcut, he marched rapid
ly and resolutely to find the enemy,
marched till he found him, when he
found him fought him all day long,
and retreated only when be was over
powered by numbers. Rut he succeed
ed in discovering the force and some
thing of tho intentions of the rebels,
and with bis hastily organized band
so much retarded their march that
tbey did uot venture to follow liisn.
The rebels had at least two com
pact and veteran divisions, nnmbering,
independently of their other forces,
not less than 14,000 men. Gen. Wal
lace's command was scarcely organ
ized at all, and consisted mainly of
troops comparatively inexperienced.

that a rebel division under Ewell, de
tached from I^ee's army, reached
Lynchburg jnst before our forces did,
repulsing Hunter's attack, and render
ing tho capture of Lynchburg hope
less. Hunter now retreated westward
into tho vullry of the K unawha, in
stead of northward into that of the
Shenandoah, and left the triumphant
rebels free to move into aud ^own the
latter valley unopposed. They did
so, apparently unobserved on our part,
and, strangely enough, were never
even heard of until they were close
upon Gen. Sigel at Martinsburg on
the Potomao, compelling him to re
treat hastily, 1liming

Gen. Franklin subsequently made
his escape and arrived safely in Balti

The chief disgrace of. the whole
thing is that attaching to a patty of
Baltimore female rebels who disgusted
all present, and debased fomalo virtue
by their aflectionato familiarities with
rebel officers. One of them who
claims to be, and hereafter will be no
toriously known as Kate Leo, went so
far as to divide with her own hands

A despatch dated at Lockawoxen,

July 15th, says a train with 850
rebel prisoners, on the way to Camp
Elmira, collided with tho Pennsylva

thero and Shohola, that afternoon, kil

reported at 100. Brief as was the

10,000 head of cattle and horses, be
sides droves of sheep and hogs, which
they got across the Potomac while
threatening Washington. A portion
of Moseby's command, 200 strong,
passed near Leesburg at an early hour
on Tuesday night. Each rider led a
horse, and they were driving before
them nearly 10,000 head of cattle.
When last heard from they were mak
ing for Ashby's Gap as fast as possi

cavalry would be looking over this
property in a day or two, and it was
doubtful whether the raiders would be
able to
escape
with their ill-gotten
rebel raid into Maryland un­
doubtedly had two objects—to draw
off a portion of Grant's forces for the
protection of Washington, aud to
steal fresh supplies of horses, cattle,
See. It failed of the first, but was
partially successful in the last object,
because of the shameful lack of mili
tia organization in Maryland and
Pennsylvania. Enough able-bodied
men ran away from Western Mary
land and Southern Pennsylvania to
have captured and caged every rebel
who bad crossed the Potomac. Mary
laud, with not less than 100,000 men
able to do military duty, has not ten
thousand whites in the Union armies,
and had not one thousand militia
in
the battle at Monocacy. We trust
that her metropolis will erect auother
monument to Maryland valor after the
war is over but tho deeds of hero
ism that are to
glorify it
are
yet in
tho future.
As to Pennsylvania, one would sup
pose that a largo and powerful com
monwealth, exposed as Pennsylvania
has been to rebel invasions, would
have furnished at least her quota of
100-dav militia, at the same time that
Ohio and the western States promptly
filled theirs but
it
seems that she
had to wait until actually alarmed by
the near presence of the enemy. Had
Pennsylvania furnished twenty thou

Tho State of New York has been
equally remiss. With

of organized, disciplined and drilled
militia at his coutrol, Gov. Seymour
sent not a man to Washington or the
front. So far as those two imperial
Statos

Hnimmi:—After
a
storm, there is
on
the wharf.
Skirmishing had been constantly
going on, and our troops had acted
strictly on the defensive, nntil Tues
day evening, 12th inst., when the reb
el sharpshooters becoming annoying,
it was determined to dislodge them
from the front of Fort Stevens, 5 miles
north of Washington. This was ef
fectually accomplished amid the
shouts of applause of thoso who wit
nessed the action. The rebels retired
in hot haste, leaving at the house of
F. P. Blair, at Silver Springs, 100 of
their wounded, including 11 officers,
and they left their dead upon the field.
The President and the Secretary of
War were present, encouraging the
troops. Reconuoisanccs showed that
tbe rebels disappeared during the
night from in front of our fortifications,
after firing
a
terrible
thundering of cannon, ringing of bells
and a general waste of gunpowder,
the Fourth has passed, and as, af

calm, as though people wero com
pletely exhausted, their appetite for
noise and tumult, their love of bun

the whole nation desires a
nap.

polkas and waltzes, or the highland

you ever see a girl, that could dance,
who didn't like to waltz? I admit
that I cannot dance I never tried
I don't admire it. Two places I nev

Perhaps some of your lady readers
may think I am a boorish sort of a

I rather guess." Bnt still I am not
mnch on waltzing.
I like Fourth of July.

near Swan Lake, about tho 1st of .In

regard to the country through which
the expedition is marching. On the
day of the fatal occurrence, the Cap
tain obtained permission to go some
distance iu advance of the column. He
had proceeded a mile or so when he
was fired on by five Indians. A ball
passed through his abdomen, causing
death iu a short time. His comrades
came up in time to receive a parting
wrd from him, when he immediately
expired. Tlie Indians were pursued,
three of thom killed, and their heads
were carried iu camp on tho ends of
