The Reason Why.

If any man desires to know v.-liy the Union party failed to succeed at the Into election in this Stale, we refer them to the following votes of Iowa soldiers, which we copy from the Iowa Gate City/ Those, it will bo remembered, are the laic levies troops in camps of instruction,, who have never vet seen the actual beauties of secession in its own country'.

In the voto taken in the hospitals, which our space doe3 not allow us to insert, tho Democracy did not get one vote in seven! ...

Can any one now doubt which way the soldier will vote? When they return, there will be such a rattling among the dry bones of the sham Democracy as has never yet been seen in this or anj- other country: VOTE OP THE 33D REGIMENT. OSKALOOSA.

Another Letter from the flospitals at New Albany.

JSTEW ALBANY, Oct. 14th, 18G2

To the Ladies of the Soldiers Aid Socie-

I conversed with the Steward of Hospital 2so. and he told- rac they were great need of supplies. I told him of the kindness of the Ladies of Montgomery county—said he had heard how much they had done for the hospitals. He requested me to write and see if you could not assist them. No. 6 is not fully established yet and has no stores to draw upon. Their rooms are crowded with patients. There aro at this time some fourteen hundred sick and wounded in our hospitals.

They need at No. G, shirts, drawers, socks, dressing gowns and slippers.— I met the steward at the Sanitary rooms to-day. Some few ladies were there making pillows. They had a number of feather and moss pads, more than sufficient to meet tho demand but as they needed pillows very much we took the -pads as substitutes. While there I had an'opportunity to see what the Sanitary' had on hand. They llave no canned fruits nor,fellies, "& no cloth ing with the exception of some few bed clothes. The rooms did not look like they, had sorneieight months sinco. am pained at this slacking off when the war i,s at o^r0%Vii doors, and our brave men are:-endufing and suffering, so much to keep it off. ..!•..

But I do not complain 'of yon ladies who have dbnvj'so much. How many poor solcfiei's $111 carrv to their homos or their graves. efriembranees of the kindness of the Ladies of Montgomery county, for they are told where their luxuries come from.

Drafted Men in Indianapolis. The State Journal of Friday the 17th inst., says: "About four thousand of the drafted men had arrived up to last evening. Many of them were not drafted but come hero as substitutes. A large proportion of the men will enlist as volunteers in the old regiments, and some have already done so. Those who do not volunteer will be organized into companies and regiments and placed under command of officers to be appointed by the Governor, who Avill instruct them in all the arts of war as speedily as possible.

The prices for substitutes rule high. We saw a gentloman yesterday offering $500 for a substitute for a friend who has been drafted. The person who drew the number was the administrator of an estate still unsettled, and the heirs being in good circumstances, contributed the money to pa}' his substitute, that they might retain his services as administrator."

Time Extended. INDIANAPOLIS, October 17th.

The following general order has been issued: The furloughs granted to parolled men captured at Munfordsville, Ky., have been extended till Monday the 27th inst., to give tin:o to pi'epare quarters for their accommodation.— Railroad ticket agents, postmasters, and all other persons aro requested to give publicity to this order.

By order of the Governor, LAZ. NOBLE, Adj. Gen.

Wttiat Will They Do With St. The Democrats have got the victory. It is not a very big one, and they know it can't be permanent. Thereturn of our soldiers, of whom at least 70.000 ar.e Union Democrats and Republicans, will turn tho tables effectually. Nobody understands this better than they, and what thev mean to do they will have to do quickly. What that will be can bo easily foretold.— They can do nothing in Congress for a year and more, even if they had a majority. Their work must therefore be confined to derange and ^cripple the State's military power. Every obstacle thai can will be thrown in the way of efficient action. Tho promptness and energy that have characterized and made famous the State's conduct in. tho war will bo, as far as possible destroyed. It is their purpose to tire the war out, and slackness, indifference and inefficiency will bo forced upon the State. To this end, the Governor's power will be crippled. As long as he retains his present power, no embarrassment that the}* can create will prevent tho uaual vigor from being sho*vn in all that he can control. To take this power from him, or tic his hands, is not merely an essential but indespensiblestep towards wearing out the popular patience with the war. Another thing will be attempted. The initiatory measures of a severenco of the Northwest from tho Union will be blockcd out, if not executed. This evcrvbody knows is the pet scheme of Hendricks, and wo know of no prominent Democrat of his school who oppose it.] ?That an effort will be made looking to the detachment of Indiana from the Union, we regard as certain. It will fail, of Course but it will have its influence in weakening the Government, and discouraging the war.— Many, probably a majority, of the party will give no Countenance to the effort, but we have learned by dear experienMithat the masses of that party don't control it. Whdt the leaders will tho masses aro driven by party dicipline to support. These leaders know that the State cannot be held by them long, if it remains in the Union, and to take, it out is the only path they see to the x-etanation bf power. The same influence that made the slave States rebel, is at vVOrk among these men.— Thoy'waht power, and "the nation, the "Oover'ninent, patriotism self respect, are nothing to them beside the power they so eagerly covet.—Indianapolis

HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX.—There-was some doubt for awhile about the re-elec-tion of this sterling patriot and talented, useful memberof congress, but the Ind. Journal of Monday- feels cofident now. that'ho has been successful.

A dispatch from South Bend on Saturday night to the editor of this paper, states positively that Colfax is elected, by .262 majority. The'returns are all official except that fromPulaski county, which, however, cannotpossibly be varied, by this favorable result. Colfax is undoubtedly el.ect.ed, and his success, under the circumstances, is really most creditable .to him of Sjll h,o. has ever achieved. Ho has had to fight again?I the'absence, of4,000 of his friends, and against the almost entire supply of that deficicncy by votes manufactured to

Thomas and Buell.

^'Agate," tho very reliable correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from Louisville under date of Oct. 15th, gives the following explanation of the reason why General Thomas far fore-d the reinstatement of General Buell:

By tho way, some facts with regard to Buell's unexplained reinstatement aro just beginning to come out. It seems that at Bowling Green. Major General Thomas lost all patience at Buell's failure to attack Bragg, He urgeti on Buell the necessity of attack, and when refused, at least it is said, went so far as to declare that failure to attack under such circumstances was sheer cowardice. Similar views having occurred to the gentlemen at the War Office. Buell was displaced.— Of courso the Kentucky Generals, Crittenden, Wood, and tho rest, at once set about efforts to have him reinstated— for the very siniplo reason so frankly stated by the Kentucky Legislature, 'his political views on the war were just right. Displacing Buell put Thomas" in command. That gallant officer remembered the ccnsure Hunter had incurred for having favored Fremont's removal 'because,' as the people thought, 'that he,would succeed to the throne and he resolved not to put himself in a similar position.— Finally, in his anexiety to avoid seeming to wish Buell removed for the sake of his own advancement, he united with the policy of the Kentucky Generals, and agreed to ask for Buell's restoration. Of course that settled the matter.

Release of Gen. Jeff". C. Davis.' LOUISVILLE, Oct. 20."( .,i 11:30, P. M. General Jeff. C. Davis, who killed Gen. Nelson, has been released from arrest and ordered to report for duty at Cincinnati. He left here this evening.

Gen. Dumont passed through hei-e this evening for Indianapolis. fmtr One hundred and fifty rebel prisoners, from Frankfort and Lexington, and three hundred paroled federal prisoners from Cox's Creek, arrived here. They left there at 3 o'clock on Monday morning, and up to 2 o'clock this morninghad nothing to eat—Morgan having destroyed all the captured provisions that he could not carry away.

Morgan's men changed clothing with many of our prisoners, and his band are said now to bo clothed in federal uniforms.

Doubtful rumor say (hat the bridges over Rolling Fork and Bacon Creek have been destroyed by the rebels.

Eight commissiohers sent by the Chicago Sanitary Commission, who were captured near Cox's Creek, have arrived here. Morgan's men took all their supplies.

On Monday the rebels crossed Cox's Creek and captured the Postmaster of Wood's division with all his mails containing several thousand letters, from which1the rebels took the money and then destroyed all the letters.

European Peace Address—Appeal of the Men of Science to Mr. Lincoln, [From the London Times, Oct. 1st.]

The subjoined addressed to His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of tho United States of America, has been signed at Russels by eminent men of almost every nation in Europe, in the hope, perhapse too sanguine, that it might have some infiucnce in terminating the terrible war now raging in Amei'ica. We much fear that the.philanthropic object, which those you

ed by disappointment. The following is the document: SIR: A number of the mombers the Association for the Promotion Science, now assembled in Brussels. and representing most of the European Slates, venture to address tho President of that great peopie in the Western world, in whoso progress & prosperity they cannot but feel the greatest interest. .''

The melancholy strife which is now raging and devastating so large a portion of the North American continent, has in it irresistablo proofs ofthe energy and excitement with which tho opposing sections have contended for the opinions and principals which each has advocated. Now, we fairly doubt the sincerity of both but it is not the purpose of this friendly communication to wound the susccptabiiitios of either. Blood enough has been shed, treasures enough have been poured out, and it is in tho hope that the prayer, hitherto but too faintly uttered, but which, nevertheless, represents the almost unanimous sentiment of your European brethren—tlie hope that the prayer for truce—for peace, may find a concurring response in the Western world, that wo venture to breathe it from tliis side of the Atlantic.

We dare not propose to a people so self-supported, so advanced in civilization, whose feelings, however strongly excited, cannot be uninfluenced by the course of events and the teachings of experience—we dare not propose any particular modus proeedendi by which the grave question and difference may be peacefully solved but if a suspension of hostilities could be obtained as a preliminary measure, time might be given to consider by what instrumentality the present disastrous conflict migh be brought to an end. If the will exists—which we would not for a moment doubt--tho means may be found more practicable than may first appear. The whole civalizcd world would rejoice in so happy a consummation, and if we can in any way contribute toward it, we shall indeed not have appealed in vain to patriots and Christians.

Here follows the signatures, which. are numerous.

Steamers Fired Into. -r,, CAIRO, Oct. 19. The steamers Dicky and Continental were fired into near Island No. 21 last Wednesday by a rebel battery of twelve-pounders which they saw planted on shore. The Dickey was struck three limes but no one was injured.— The Continental was struck twice, once just above the water line. The gunboat Pittsburg came up from fort Pillow and shelled the woods at several suspicious places, bu.t tho rebels did not reply.

Tho federal forces stationed on the Tennessee shore opposite Island No. 20, attacked 400 rebels under Faulkner, but owing to the darkness the rebels fired into each other, throwing them into confusion and causing them to retire followed by our cavalry. Eight rebels were killed and 10 wounded. "We captured 30 horses and several muskets. Faulkner, three captains and twelve privates were taken prisoners and brought to Columbus last night. Our loss was three killed and twelve wounded. .•

Nothing of interest from Helena except daily skirmishing. An attack from the rebels is not anticipated ,at 'present.

Great Britian—The London Times says the emancipation proclamation of President Lincoln is a political concussion to the abolition wing ofthe republican party. When the Union existed the Constitution gave no right either to the President or tho President and Congress combined, to abolish slavery. Emancipation was the thunderbolt placed in President Lincoln's hands to destroy the whole social organization of the south.at a blow. It is a thunderbolt which he (Lincoln) has assumed the right to launch, but he is without the power to launch his decree. The north must conaucr every squaro mile of the south before it can make the proclamation of more effect than mere waste paper.

A refugee who came.into Gen. Sigel's headquarters, at Ainesvillo. Culpepper: county, Va., reports that there is the greatest consternation immagineahle among the whites in that county, in consequence of an apprehended negro revolt. Seventeen negroes, most of them free, had been hung, copies of northern newspapers containing President Lincoln's proclamation, to liberate the slaves being found on them.

The terror of the whites is reported to be beyond description. It is said that the negroes of different counties around Culpepper are engaged in a conspiracy for a general insurrection.

Heavy Ordnancc.

Capt. Dahlgren is personally superintend ing-the tests of the gigantic fifteen inch gun just received from the foundry at Pittsburg.

figg-The Kentucky jorrespondent of the Cincinnati Times relates the following slightly donbtal story:

The darkies of seossion ma^era still continue to flock ir.ocamp. There is in camp here areguht witty darkio, who former!}* belonged to a Mr. Duncan, now in the rebel arrty. This negro can read and writt in fact is a very well educated ma*. Yesterday some Kentuckians who hd lost several slaves had posted around the encampment "One hundsd dollars reward. Ran away from te subscriber, my man Bob," &c.

Jim Duncan—as the bos call him— soon after issued the flowing 'ind placed it besido the other'advy." "50 CENTS REWARD." "Ran away from dis ch!o, and lef him all alone to take can of hisself, after I done worked tweny-six years faithful for him, "MY MASSA 'BILL DUCAN.' "Massa Bill is supposed have done gone off wid the secesher for to hunt for his rights, and I spec.10 done got lost. Any person 'turn'Mm to me, so dat he can take care of ne—as he allers said 'Nigga' eouldn take care of hisself—will be much bliged to dis chile. "N. B.—Person huitin for him please look in all de ias diches,' as I often heerd him talk abat going into the dicbirt business. ,. JIM."

The "poster" created" tgreat deal of merriment in camp, whle the Kentucky residents who cano across it thought Jim a mighty "aissy nigger."

TransplantingTrees.

As soon as the foliage has dropped, transplant ornamental, siade, or fruit trees. There will bo a saving of ono year's growth between those planted now arid those in the Spring. In taking up trees great care sipuld be taken not to mutilate the root^ for every fiber of tho root, lost, tho jrowth of tho tree will bo retarded so much and its life endangered. Wienever it is absolutely necessary to ?art with any of the roots, take off tho top in proportion. Let the holes be Ia*gerthan tho roots, and never bend or 2i*amp a root into a small hole. Where the root is rhutilated, make a clean cut with a sharp knife, and new rootlets will show themselves, pushing out between tho bark and wood. If. the soil is pooi, fill the bole with rich earth from the woods or swamps. But in no case use stable man ore in planting out trees in this climate. Top dress the ground among your trees with leached ashes, lime,, or any decomposing vegetable matter. If rabbits aro troublesome in barking your truit trees, apply soft country soap to the trunks two or threo times in the year.—Scientific American.
