Oil' to our right, and | down towards the bottom of the grassy i cove, wore two immense pumas—male and female—stealing cautiously out towards ! the unsuspicious mare; and away to the ieft, out in the center of the meadow, was a small herd of tlie tinest looking liorbust I had ever seen on Ua»o or pamptt. The animals had discovered the pumas, and were preparing for battle; while the lone mare, her attention diverted proUthly by the gambols of her foals, remained un- conclous of her dungcr. The mare was about midway between her friends and enemies, and the pair of ferocious brutes appeared to becalculuting their chances of pouncing upon and bear- ing otf the two foals before the horse b r igade could sweep down upon them. There wits something very like reason in the sagacity manifested by the horses.— The herd numbered jjerliaps a hundred animals among them some twenty mares, with foals by their aides.

There is a beautiful area of some fifty thousand square miles, east of the Missis- sippi river, that once belonged to Louisiana. Seventy-seven years ago there was not a white man within its borders. A splendid wilderness, its pra'ries undulated away, dotted with great Island groves, and spang- led with jessamines, wild roses nnd violets. The deer, the elk and turkey were "fri 0 commoners," and its rivers ran on nnfet* tered witn a single wheel. And this area was named for one of those idle streams, and they called it Iowa, meaning the "Drowsy." And Iowa was handed about the mighty sisterhood, much as an admi- rable infant about a household. Louisiana passed it to Michigan, and she took care of it three years; then Wisconsin took it, but in a year it began to "run alone" and beeatne a territory. At length about the last days in I>ccembcr, 1840, an audible knock from there away wan heard at the Federal door: Town stood upon the thresh- old, was admitted, and became a sovereign State. Well, this region, miserably mis- named the "Drowsy," had three millions of acres of grain waving within it, and six hundred and fifty thousand souls keeping magnificent step to the march of empire. But that step has changed since then, and there in the fore-front, Towa has kept time to the music of the Union. - She had forty-three thousand men, wom- en and children, all told, in 1840, and sev- enty-one soldiers in the army. She has sent seventy thousand l>oysin blue to tight the battles of the Republic; four batteries have spoken fr»r her; nine regiments of cavalry have heard the bugles ami thun- dered to the charge; forty-eight regiments of iafanlry have clos«»d up the solid front, and fifteen thousand fallen. And what he- roes they were, and how splendid the rec- ord they have made for Iowa, Liberty and God! How rich is the meaning they have lent the legend of their coat of arms: "Oru LMKKTLF.S WK PRIZK— OrK RIOIITM WK WILL MAINTAIN!"—Chicago Journal. The entire war expenses of Iowa arc $800,000. Of this amount the General Gov- ernment haw reimbursed ^i00,000, and 000 have been in«i and |uti(l from the cur- rant of arrest was th"n produced, at which Mr. Mitchel did wot seem to he at all aston- ished. He expressed his readiness to ac- company the officers, and was at once nlaeed in a carriage nnd ranidly driven off. Mitchell was perfeetlv silent for some mo- ments after the carriage commenced mo- vim.*. Tte presentlv broke the silence by saying to Captain < 'allahnn, one of the of- fi -ers accompanying liim—so goes the ru- mor of the street; "Certain, from ywir name, I take you to bo an Irishman?" Captain C.—"You are right, Sir, I am an Irishman.'" » ' Mr. Mitchel.—"Of coarse you know me to be one also; how run you find it in your heart toarreafc one of your fellow country- men?" * Captain C.—"T am now an American; von am no more my fellow countryman than any one else,; I oniv know that we JiMvy orders t Tar rest y >w." Mr. M,—"for wha'?" Captain C.—"I don't know—for treason, perhaps." , Mr. M,—"Rut I am not a traitor. The South are fairly thra-shed, and I follow the time—I am no longer a trnitoe, but a peace- ful, loyal man." Captain C., (wifli emphasis)—"M r. Mitch- el, I have no time to bandy words. You are an Irishman, I am ashamed to say.— You pretended to flee from the oppression of the Old World to the freedom of the New; yet almost your first act in your new found liberty, was to declare yourself in favor of it new species of human bondage, the meanest aud most infamous ns-orded in history. Tn that cause you toiled with brain and brawn for five years, and you now have the sublimo impudence to come here, in New York, and establish yourself at the head of the most ultra Cop|x>rliead sheet in the city. I can only say that, as a general thing, your countrymen abhor and detest you, and that my own contempt for von is so great that I can find no language to further express my feeiimrs." Mr. Mitohers face worked convulsively as he listened to thin auawer, but be said nothing more. , lie was then taken to General Dix 's of- fice and probably shipped off as above statejl. • The Knoxville Republican describe* the flood in Marion eountv as the greatest that has occurred since l^l. Many bridges, the liest in the county have been washed away, and much damage done to crops and property. • ii ; . A juryman was asked wliethw lis-IMMI been charged by the Judge, "Well," said he, "the little fellow that Kits up in the pul- pit and stares over the crowd «in us a lec- ture, but 1 don't know whether heohargea rent revenue of the State during tiie war. I anything or n-'t." I • Negro Suffrage. j The late Republican 4 'onvention has gone and done it, kicked over the bowl of gravy and stuck their foot in it, and we are called upon to sustain their action. Not contont , with freeing the niggers and having them right here among us, and dressing them up for soldiers, and giving the very front in time of danger, tliey go farther and de- clare that they shall vote, if they ure loyal, and who ever heard of a disloyal nigger. This is the strangest piece of Radicalism of all, an Insult to the honored memory.of Chjef J list ice Taney, and a violation of the Lecotnpton Constitution. Whoever heard of Negro Suffrage, save only among the Puritans of New Kngland, and down amid the barren sand-hills of North Carolinnand th« tobacco fields of old Virginia? This is indeed the last bitter cup offered to us by the insane Abolitionists, and yet we are told we must drink it down; shut our eyes and swallow it, or have our nosee held while the doctors force it down against our will. | What shall we dot Shall we argue the 'question before the people, vote for the nominees and spit upon the platform, after the mannes of Oreelv,or tiee to the Moun- tains of Hepsidem where the Copperhead hisseth and the Abolitionists howleth not? The thing is bound to carry, the nigger is a | rising man, be has shown himself capable of self defence and now is to be tried with the experiment of self government. But | then he is black and that is an unanswer- able and un-flrt-nvrrrihlr argument against his voting. A baliot cast by a black man * would pollute a thousand white ones, and leave a smell like tin; odor of a nigger in a ; heniplield in the ballot box for a thousand veurs afterwards. A ballot should be the | calm anddeiiberateexpression of an intelli- I gent mind, and how can i" be possible that ' a negro as black as Egyptian darkness can ! deliberately form an opinion upon Govern- ! mental affairs. ! This is truly an age of discovery. The Republican party have discovered that the loyal negro is a man. and even say that it has been proven to bo true on the battle- I field, and as a eonseqnence ho i« not only 'entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but isalsoentitled to pursuethat happiness and enjoy that liberty by exer- | cising that God-given right of the elective franchise. What next? Some wise acre • will some dv»y discover that a womnn is a inrtn too, and then the privilege of voting ^»nd talking politics and betting on th" election will extended to the women both 1 whito and black, andhow would that look? If the Almighty had intended the negro to be nrnHno freeman he would never have 'created him with a black skin, a jay bird heel anil a fiat nose; nature's jewels are ! never put up in such caskets, and then only think of the offended dignity and outraged insult to the refined feelings of our pal riot ic and sensitive dimmvcratic brethren, who are about to have insult added to injury in 1W .*( this nronosition which is to cut like a two-edged sword, sharpen- ed on a brickbat. Tt was not enough to declare the negro entitled to vote, but the privilege is to IK? restricted only to such | white men as are loyal, thus leaving many of our Southern brethren and their Northern allies out in the cold. We had thought that there were enough of mean white men in Towa already, who do not sufficiently prize the privilege of voting, without offering a bid for the emi- gration African race to come into Iowa and ^ reduce the wages oftlie laboring man to 2"» • cents per day. and, by doing all the labor, ! thus drive the white men out of employ- ment," besides getting into the poor-house , themselves from their own shiftless habits, nnd want of industry, (this argument is a quotation from a speech of Amos Harris, and may not, bear inspection but h"H been received as sound copperhead logic, never- theless. J Practically, tlus^proposifion of the State 'Convention is only a kind of feeler, and by I our Constitution cannot bo hastily adopted, j Under that instrument the proposition , must be carried in both houses of the Gen- | eral Assembly, and the ayes and nays re- I corded thereon, and then ifendor ed bv a ! majority, is to be referred to the Ijegisla- | ture to be chosen at the next regular elec- tion thereafter; if adopted by a majority of both branches it is then submitted to the people, aud not l>eeome a part of the < "on- stitution till thus adopted. Under all the circumstances we are in favor of the meas- ure; that is, in favor of giving the people a chancre to vote on the question ; but as one of the people we shall reserve the right to vote against its adoption, unless we shall see the proposition in a different light. It is at least necessary that something bo done to stir the bile on the stomachs of our copperhead friends, and we think this pro- position will do so effectually.

Last night a brilliant light shoue in upon iny face as I slept. 1 awoke, and on going to tlie window, I beheld a sight which I pray God I may never again witness. Tli$ city was in flames. All efforts to save it availed but littie, and at least three-fourths of the main towu now lies in ashes. The distress of the people is very great. Many are utterly ruined, and all have lost heavily. Our house is on a hill, opjxxsite the town, and across the creek, so that our loss is trilling. * • * Tlie tire was the work of incendiaries and the object plun- der. Everything was stolen and carried otf that the villains could get hold of, aud an iniinenseHnioiintof property destroyed. The otUcers are in piuxuit of these fiends in human form. I do not think many will suffer for bread, but if the waters should rise rapidly we might have a famine, as we are entirely de|HMident on foreign markets.

The New York Time* 1 Montreal eorrea-. pondent writes that a great reaction has taken place in Canada in regard to the reb- el emissaries. They are as unpopular as they once were the reverse. A terrible steamboat disaster occurred on the Red River, La., on the 9th instant.— The steamer Kentucky, loaded with paas- eugerH, on her way from Shrevejxirt to New Orleans, sunk suddenly, causing a loss of several hundred lives?

BODY Fouxn.—The body of the man drowned in the river a few days ago, -was found to-day nwar the farm of Jos. Hayne, j and not far from the spot where the l«>y was found yesterday. Decomposition had commenced and it was found necessary to put the remains at once iiiacolUn, which had been provided. Messrs. Lo\-e and Gillaspv, who have been on a visit to St. I^ouis on behalf of the North Missouri extension, returned to-day and report the prospects of early railroad connection with the central city of the con- tinent very flattering.

The Ilerald's Havana correspondent says of the escape of Breckenridge and his party, that those worthies were all near Jell". Davis when he WHS captured, but managed to escajK* tlie national troops and traveled across the Staten of Georgia nnd Florida to the eoa&t where they seeutoil a small boat and put to sea, arriving at Car- dinas on the 1 lib inst., after three days and nights passed almost without eating or sleeping. At Card in as they were serena- ded aud received marked attention from tho Spduish Governor and jieople. They expected to remain in &aviuu* for some time. The Herald's Richmond correspondent says, Monday last was tlie day named by Governor i'ierjMmt for tho assembling in Richmond of the loyal Legislature of Vir- ginia, and a numlior of tho members were present, but owing to the constitutional provision requiring ten days to elapse l»e- tween tho calling and assembling of an extra session, no business was transacted. There was no quorum, but in tho House of Delegates an organl/.ation was effected. General Gordon was relieved from com- mand at Norfolk on Monday last, and the city was restored to civil rule, hissuooes8or being instructed to act merely as military commandant of the post. There wore thirty-one petitions ft>r par- don tiled with the President to-day. Three j»>rsons were pardoned to-day. viz: Phillip Lee, of Kentucky, John R. Davis, of Ten- nnd Junes L.

The six months that we had been in the j '•rent Has in hud occupied (IS *»hk»fly alonar the courses of the Parana, PanitiHhyba, and their trlbutflriei, where there Was little j wooded eountrv, tttid, eonsefjtii-nMy, very j few of the hircrer and more formidable an- | imals with whieh all the forest regions of 1 the interior nboun'd. j

Wnt we had got fairly tli«' wild tw«ft \ and for a .Week t)r so. hud !

been lnvoae«l with a good deal more of their ! eoiupaiiion^li'p Ihan was a>j;re«*alilt>. Pu­mas, leopard.-*, timers and coiiirar« were quite as numerous as we had found the smaller animals out on the plains, and ten times more unnoying—particularly the puma, the only one of all our new neigh­bors who had no fear of tirr orld very Utile «»f our rilles, compelling us by his auda­cious bravado, generally to settle our dif­ference with the lasso and the lain*'.

The northwestern sj«»j»e of the Tuebavo rtu'ige is, jH*rhaps, one of the most singular sierra formations in the world. From its j general bnse, which is densely wooded, j juts out into the grassy plniu, long, narrow I spurs of sierra, of moderate elevation, ofi irregular lengths and distances from each j other, and all heavily timbered to their j very extremities. From n bird's *^'ye'point of view the mountain would probably ap- I pear soniethinir like a vast comb, with th« ' teeth irregularly sol or isiiine of theiu bfo* | keu out. I

Asst ri\le wv kept to the level ground, j passing around these spurs; h»H occasion'j ally, when we came to a harrier of trilling elevation and had a fancy to replenish our J stock, of game, we crossed one of the nier- j ras either directly or <li«ftonat1y, As suited ;

our purposiN j One afternoon we were crowing one of|

these ridges, .well into toward* its base, 1 when MeinloZa, our wild Paraguayan out-rider, cume driving ba' k, all exeitcinent. : shouting in. his lingntt Jr&vwt of tli« l)or-1 der: *

"Ola! ffcmors-r-ramos at vert Ten ha-; inoH dos leo erande hub^r catjtu rnuerto • iNiHh el cHrvMlfMts!"* ' ' " !

"Whafs that, Mend07*—two lions hav-j ing i\ death iiL'ht with the horses?"

"Hi, senor, lioncoinbato! Vamos 11 VW." | So we went down to see; but Mendoxa's

eagerness had slightlj'outrun the facts.— ! Tlie )utt,tle Wsis noi set yet, but it WiM in-1 evilsihfe, and near at hand. j

There would be right royul sport worth (

witnessing. So having gone down the slope of the sierra at a rattling dash, we j drew rein just within the fringe of timber,! where we had an admirable lookout; and j laying clear the jokf# of our lassos, loos-I cuing the fastening of our gtuQm-slining our ritles, we prepared tor whatev-, er emergency might arise. j

The level, grassy plain between the two : spurs, was less than half a mile in width, j and about one-third of the distance across | it, counting from one side, and directly in ! front of our position was gracing quietly a J beautiful mouse-colored mare, having a j pair oft win colts, three monthsold perhaps, j frisking about her. Oil' to our right, and | down towards the bottom of the grassy i cove, wore two immense pumas—male and female—stealing cautiously out towards ! the unsuspicious mare; and away to the ieft, out in the center of the meadow, was a small herd of tlie tinest looking liorbust I had ever seen on Ua»o or pamptt.

The animals had discovered the pumas, and were preparing for battle; while the lone mare, her attention diverted proUthly by the gambols of her foals, remained un-conclous of her dungcr.

The mare was about midway between her friends and enemies, and the pair of ferocious brutes appeared to becalculuting their chances of pouncing upon and bear­ing otf the two foals before the horse brigade could sweep down upon them.

There wits something very like reason in the sagacity manifested by the horses.— The herd numbered jjerliaps a hundred animals among them some twenty mares, with foals by their aides. After a brisk trotting to and fro for two or three minutes by half a dozen of the linest looking stall-K'n* T ever saw, as many *taid, matronly

There is a beautiful area of some fifty thousand square miles, east of the Missis­sippi river, that once belonged to Louisiana. Seventy-seven years ago there was not a white man within its borders. A splendid wilderness, its pra'ries undulated away, dotted with great Island groves, and spang­led with jessamines, wild roses nnd violets. The deer, the elk and turkey were "fri 0 commoners," and its rivers ran on nnfet* tered witn a single wheel. And this area was named for one of those idle streams, and they called it Iowa, meaning the "Drowsy." And Iowa was handed about the mighty sisterhood, much as an admi­rable infant about a household. Louisiana passed it to Michigan, and she took care of it three years; then Wisconsin took it, but in a year it began to "run alone" and beeatne a territory. At length about the last days in I>ccembcr, 1840, an audible knock from there away wan heard at the Federal door: Town stood upon the thresh­old, was admitted, and became a sovereign State. Well, this region, miserably mis­named the "Drowsy," had three millions of acres of grain waving within it, and six hundred and fifty thousand souls keeping magnificent step to the march of empire.

But that step has changed since then, and there in the fore-front, Towa has kept time to the music of the Union. - She had forty-three thousand men, wom­en and children, all told, in 1840, and sev­enty-one soldiers in the army. She has sent seventy thousand l>oysin blue to tight the battles of the Republic; four batteries have spoken fr»r her; nine regiments of cavalry have heard the bugles ami thun­dered to the charge; forty-eight regiments of iafanlry have clos«»d up the solid front, and fifteen thousand fallen. And what he­roes they were, and how splendid the rec­ord they have made for Iowa, Liberty and God! How rich is the meaning they have lent the legend of their coat of arms: "Oru LMKKTLF.S WK PRIZK— OrK RIOIITM WK WILL MAINTAIN!"—Chicago Journal.

The entire war expenses of Iowa arc $800,000. Of this amount the General Gov­ernment haw reimbursed ^i00,000, and 000 have been in«i and |uti(l from the cur­

rant of arrest was th"n produced, at which Mr. Mitchel did wot seem to he at all aston­ished. He expressed his readiness to ac­company the officers, and was at once nlaeed in a carriage nnd ranidly driven off. Mitchell was perfeetlv silent for some mo­ments after the carriage commenced mo-vim.*. Tte presentlv broke the silence by saying to Captain < 'allahnn, one of the of-fi -ers accompanying liim—so goes the ru­mor of the street;

"Certain, from ywir name, I take you to bo an Irishman?"

Captain C.—"You are right, Sir, I am an Irishman.'" » '

Mr. Mitchel.—"Of coarse you know me to be one also; how run you find it in your heart toarreafc one of your fellow country­men?" *

Captain C.—"T am now an American; von am no more my fellow countryman than any one else,; I oniv know that we JiMvy orders t Tar rest y >w."

Mr. M,—"for wha'?" Captain C.—"I don't know—for treason,

perhaps." , Mr. M,—"Rut I am not a traitor. The

South are fairly thra-shed, and I follow the time—I am no longer a trnitoe, but a peace­ful, loyal man."

Captain C., (wifli emphasis)—"M r. Mitch­el, I have no time to bandy words. You are an Irishman, I am ashamed to say.— You pretended to flee from the oppression of the Old World to the freedom of the New; yet almost your first act in your new found liberty, was to declare yourself in favor of it new species of human bondage, the meanest aud most infamous ns-orded in history. Tn that cause you toiled with brain and brawn for five years, and you now have the sublimo impudence to come here, in New York, and establish yourself at the head of the most ultra Cop|x>rliead sheet in the city. I can only say that, as a general thing, your countrymen abhor and detest you, and that my own contempt for von is so great that I can find no language to further express my feeiimrs."

I • Negro Suffrage. j The late Republican 4 'onvention has gone and done it, kicked over the bowl of gravy and stuck their foot in it, and we are called upon to sustain their action. Not contont

, with freeing the niggers and having them right here among us, and dressing them up for soldiers, and giving the very front in time of danger, tliey go farther and de-clare that they shall vote, if they ure loyal, and who ever heard of a disloyal nigger. This is the strangest piece of Radicalism of all, an Insult to the honored memory.of Chjef J list ice Taney, and a violation of the Lecotnpton Constitution. Whoever heard of Negro Suffrage, save only among the Puritans of New Kngland, and down amid the barren sand-hills of North Carolinnand th« tobacco fields of old Virginia? This is indeed the last bitter cup offered to us by the insane Abolitionists, and yet we are told we must drink it down; shut our eyes and swallow it, or have our nosee held while the doctors force it down against our will. | What shall we dot Shall we argue the 'question before the people, vote for the nominees and spit upon the platform, after the mannes of Oreelv,or tiee to the Moun­tains of Hepsidem where the Copperhead hisseth and the Abolitionists howleth not? The thing is bound to carry, the nigger is a

| rising man, be has shown himself capable of self defence and now is to be tried with the experiment of self government. But | then he is black and that is an unanswer­able and un-flrt-nvrrrihlr argument against his voting. A baliot cast by a black man

* would pollute a thousand white ones, and leave a smell like tin; odor of a nigger in a

; heniplield in the ballot box for a thousand veurs afterwards. A ballot should be the

| calm anddeiiberateexpression of an intelli-I gent mind, and how can i" be possible that ' a negro as black as Egyptian darkness can ! deliberately form an opinion upon Govern-! mental affairs. ! This is truly an age of discovery. The

Republican party have discovered that the loyal negro is a man. and even say that it has been proven to bo true on the battle-

I field, and as a eonseqnence ho i« not only 'entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but isalsoentitled to pursuethat happiness and enjoy that liberty by exer-

| cising that God-given right of the elective franchise. What next? Some wise acre

• will some dv»y discover that a womnn is a inrtn too, and then the privilege of voting ^»nd talking politics and betting on th" election will extended to the women both

1 whito and black, andhow would that look? If the Almighty had intended the negro to be nrnHno freeman he would never have

'created him with a black skin, a jay bird heel anil a fiat nose; nature's jewels are

! never put up in such caskets, and then only think of the offended dignity and outraged insult to the refined feelings of our pal riot ic and sensitive dimmvcratic brethren, who are about to have insult added to injury in 1W .*( this nronosition which is to cut like a two-edged sword, sharpen­ed on a brickbat. Tt was not enough to declare the negro entitled to vote, but the privilege is to IK? restricted only to such

| white men as are loyal, thus leaving many of our Southern brethren and their Northern allies out in the cold.

We had thought that there were enough of mean white men in Towa already, who do not sufficiently prize the privilege of voting, without offering a bid for the emi­gration African race to come into Iowa and

^ reduce the wages oftlie laboring man to 2"» • cents per day. and, by doing all the labor, ! thus drive the white men out of employ­

ment," besides getting into the poor-house , themselves from their own shiftless habits,

J Practically, tlus^proposifion of the State 'Convention is only a kind of feeler, and by I our Constitution cannot bo hastily adopted, j Under that instrument the proposition , must be carried in both houses of the Gen-| eral Assembly, and the ayes and nays re-

I corded thereon, and then ifendor ed bv a ! majority, is to be referred to the Ijegisla-| ture to be chosen at the next regular elec­tion thereafter; if adopted by a majority of both branches it is then submitted to the people, aud not l>eeome a part of the < "on-stitution till thus adopted. Under all the circumstances we are in favor of the meas­ure; that is, in favor of giving the people a chancre to vote on the question ; but as one of the people we shall reserve the right to vote against its adoption, unless we shall see the proposition in a different light. It is at least necessary that something bo done to stir the bile on the stomachs of our copperhead friends, and we think this pro­position will do so effectually. Let 'em wiggle.— Union diutrd.

Idaho City, May lPth, 13«m. Last night a brilliant light shoue in upon

iny face as I slept. 1 awoke, and on going to tlie window, I beheld a sight which I pray God I may never again witness. Tli$ city was in flames. All efforts to save it availed but littie, and at least three-fourths of the main towu now lies in ashes.

The distress of the people is very great. Many are utterly ruined, and all have lost heavily. Our house is on a hill, opjxxsite the town, and across the creek, so that our loss is trilling. * • * Tlie tire was the work of incendiaries and the object plun­der. Everything was stolen and carried otf that the villains could get hold of, aud an iniinenseHnioiintof property destroyed. The otUcers are in piuxuit of these fiends in human form.
