This latter testimony convicted her. At 10 o'clock Wednesday sight she was sentenced to be hung.

We did not learn the time for her execution. As she is aged and infirm, and has become, siaoe her arrest, powerless for another deed of death, her sentence will doubtless be oommuted to imprisonment by the Wm. H.

Wo understand from various sources, all of them reliable, that the discusston between Hon. J. B. Grinnell, and Mr. Mitchell, is having great effect on the people.

By this arrangement Mr. Grinnell is enablea to speak to a crowd of copprrheads, and since the Poweshiek oounty murders, more honest members of that party are lsaving the rattlesnake standard in squads. There is no man in the country better able to show up their intanows reoord than Grinnell, and it is said he eoores Mitchell without mercy.

AN ABORIGINAL CAVALRY During the height of the excitement yesterday in this city, when the militiamen were congregating for drill, and the streets were crowded with emigrants and a throng ofother strangers, a cavalcade a mile or less long made its appearance fresh from the Musquaka country, on its way to the West on grand fall hunt.

Very evidently these aboriginal braves were not on the "war path." for every particular pony was loaded to the quarter deck with a mixed cargo of squaw, pappoosea, blankets, cooking ntsnsils. ana other household gods such ssthese nomads delight to worship.

Grinnell and Mitchell, rival candidates for Congress in this district, came off at this place wis afternoon. The meeting was in the City Hall, and was attended by as many as could get into the room. I will not occupy your space with a detailed account of the discussion. Suffice it to say that Mr. Grinnell more than fulfilled the expectations of his He makes an earnest, patriotic and elo- Ste uent argument in favor of the Union and vigorous prosecution of the war until every rebel lays down his arms and acknowledges the authority of the Government.

Mitchell is pointless, witless, and disgusts: even his friends with his weak Se neralizations. He is going through District like a whipped At a meeting a few days since he declared the war a failure, when the wife of a Boldier, who was listening to the discussion, rose in her place, ana with indescribable indignation and scorn Ee renounced hltn a him that deserved hanging, and that she would like to help pull the rope! At the discussion in Newton several women in the audience were unable to restrain their anger, and actually ahook their fists at him and called him a traitor to his face.

With the triumph or defeat ofthe latter the Republic will be either saved or lost. In this great emergency, irrespective of all estimates of personal capacity, irrespective of any opinion respecting the oonductor temper ot the (indi vidual to be charged for the time being with the executive functions, the fpeat truth confronts us, that if George B.

McClellan is elected. Yallandigham and his party will control him, and If Mr. Lincoln is elected, Benj. Wade and the men that stands with him, are the Presidents and rulers of the Republic. That is my opinion of this con test and of its ultimate results." Here this afternoon, a man who has a son in the army, and who is himself a Southerner by birth, was so incensed at Mitchell's talk that he told him right the midst of his speech that he was a ym-i tor to his country.

Mitchell seems toexpect these insults, and cowers before thedi in a manner that shows an utter want or manly feeling. He hasn't the spirit or the spunk of a kitten two weeics old. The universal feeling among Union men here is that he was the worst used-up man that ever attempted a public debate, Mr. Grinnell handled the fellow without gloves. He showed up his disloyal record, and charged home upon him the treasonable resolutions which Mitchell wrote for the Democratic State Convention, with such vigor and effect that he winced with every blow, and looked as though he would gladly MNe himself from the gaze of the people.

These discussions are doing great good, and opening the eyes of the people It is only to be regretted thai they aannot be heard by every voter in the District. But I am occupying more time than I intended. You may rely upon it that "Proud Mahaska'" is sound, and that on the 8th day of November she will make a record worthy of the fifteen hundred brave aaec she has sent to the bloody field, and Whom she ss determined to stand by to the last. Yours i'or Lincoln and Johnson, Grinnell and the boys in blue." W. REBEL rebel Generals have canted througnout the conflicts as lustily as Northern copperheads.

From Beaure- fefore ard's "Booty and Beauty" proclamation the first Bull Run battle, down to Hood's charge of "studied and ungenerous cruelty," there has been a steady stream Of cant from the mouths ofthe rebel civil cfaiefo and military leaders, as well as from all of their friends at the North and in Europe. The war has been described as "fratricidal," "sanguinary," "inhuman," "terrible." Of course it is. All war is. And how fearful, therefore, is their responsibility who begin it. The copperhead orators very fond ol this strain.

If Sheridan wins a victory, or Sherman, or Farragut, or Grant, these people fall to Sheading tears and bemoaning the families made wretched. Tears enough must be shed, hearts broken, and homes desolated, so long as the war lasts. Why, then, do not these canting may worms entreat their friends, the public enemies, to lay down their arms and give us peace? If the copperhead heart is so wrung with the misery of wounded soldiers and wretched families, let it urge the deluded men who are resisting the Uevernment which never harmed them, to submit to the laws which they, themselves helped to make. When the haughty leaders of the rebels threatened the country before the attack on Sumter, when they declared that -ithey could not have their own way thtV would overthrow the Uovernment and dissolve the did not these plaintive Copperheads hiss them and re- THE PEACE THE MUSKET WILL Gen.

That Is the contemptible which crops out in the Chicago Platlorm, and in all the harangues and papers of the Chica go party. The war is shocking, they say and ought to stop, Certainly it ought, and when those who began it cboose to stop fighting, it will stop. Meanwhile the American people will fight fight as Sheridan is reported to spell it, "J-i-g-h-t, they choose to stop.

General Sherman says to the Mayor oi' Atlanta what every, true hetut in the land oonf rms and approves: "War Is cruelty and you cannot reline it, and those who brought war on our country deserve all the curses and uiaiedtctions a people can pour out. You might as well appeal against the thunder stortr. as against these terrible hardships of w.ir.

We are camped east of town on a nice, elevated ridge, on which stands Fort Granger. Franklin is as nice a little town as I have seen since I crossed the Ohio river, and the most beautiful country surrounding I ever saw. Harpeth river runs between camp and town, and is a nice little stream, but too small for boats.

The principal part of our regiment has gone in pursuit of Forrest, and have been out for some time, and their whereabouts is unknown to us. They took with them about five days' rations and expected to be absent five days I understood. If they meet the old fiend Forest, they will give him a warm reception, for all of our brigade has gone, which is composed of the 1st East Tennessee cavalry, 2d Michigan cavalry, 4th Kentucky mounted infantry, and all gone that were able and e-iaipped.

EDITOH I am a stranger to you, but claim the Hawk-Eye State ior my home, and I to let the people of that State know my and not only my sentiments, but the st-utiments of the majority of the Potomac army. As the papers for some time past have been flooded with campaign dc.imeuts, PO we have been led to look on both sides atu come to theoonolusion that the party which thrives upon our defeat will cot do to tie to. We think that if Old Abe can put down the rebellion (and it looks very much like it now. there is no use in changing the Administration, and if be does put it down and restore peace to our country, he deserves another term for doing it and, more than that, we are going to give it to him. As as I can learn, Lincoln's majority in the army will be so overwhelming that the Copperheads will forever curse the day that the soldiers a vote, nr.d still more bitterly condemn the measure which they from tne first so bitterly opptsKl.

"The Union must be preserved at all hazards," mouths McClellan. Pendleton boldly declares, "If these Southern States cannot be reconciled, I would bid them farewell so tenderly that they would forever be. touched by the recollection of it." Ohio has bid Pendleton farewell so tenderly that we think, unless be has got the hide of a rhinoceros, he will forever toe touched by the reoollection of it. COPPERHEAD MURDER IN Captain Eli McCarty, an otil cer engaged In notifying drafted men in Davies County, Indiana, was brutally murdered by a party of Copperhead rumaas. They shot him Ued astone to his body, and sunk it in White River.

Seven of the men implicated in the murder have been arrested and sent to prison. One of the gang has made a full confession. There were sixteen in the gang of assassins. Captain McCarty was a brave upright man, and had been discnarged from service on account of wounds. Good progress is making by the Post Office authorities charged with putting into effect the railway postal system.

-r-V i IRS lllli meeting held in Dayton, uu other day, tne McClellan men a speech of Mr. Jacobs, pelting him with rotten oftbe opposition was was the best they had i if- aad Fifty years after the rebellion has been conclusively crushed, never, if we make a wise peace, to be revived, we may suppose that its causes and character will begin to be just a 1 ittle comprehended abroad. We shall not then findhe Paris Oonstitutiowul printing such blind and bewidered nonsense as the following: "Tho American war, we repeat, is but a war for independence on the part of the South, a war for domination on the part of the North. We would only be perpetuating an error and an illusion to aswign to this war any other character." Now, we should not think these Parisian blunders worthy of serious notice, were not this the species of sophistication which the Copperheads, who cannot plead ignorance, as the French writer might, are continually employing. These soft-beaded philanthropists cannot bear to hear of "domination." Their gorge rises at news of a victory over their "brethren." They trembled at the notion of "conquest." Successes which put everybody else in the most elevated spirits, only make them sick at the stomach.

Perhaps a few grains of truth, a medicine which they like little enougb, may improve their condition. 1. Domination. We admit, to begin with, that this is an ugly word. In tbis country, which all creation knows is free and enlightened, it is particularly unwelcome to the popular ear.

But it is well to remember that it may be used in two senses. The "domination" in a Republic is that of to which all have assented law. like that of the Constitution first, and the statute laws enacted by tne representatives ofthe whole people. Kvery child can be made to understand, without birching, that "domination" like this is absolutely essential under any form of government worthy of that name. The "domination" which holds men to the specific performance of solemn contracts, to a due observance of IP WS fairly enacted, to an acquiescence in the decisions of the popular voioe, is all which stands between any people and thoroughly unbridled anarchy.

But the rebels added gross dishonesty to their disloyalty. They went into a Presidential voted for whom they took tneir chances of continuing their It is strange that foreign writers will persist in the use of a sophistry, in discussing American affairs. they would scout as insulting if applied to own. It, for instance, some department of the French Empire tired oftbe "domination" of Paris, should ntake a desperate grasp at independence," It would be quite easy to say fine things of them, and apply to their revolt the same attenuated excuses which the Oonstitutionnel coins for our slaveholders. But such considerations would hardly prevent His Imperial Majesty from over-running the disaffected districts with infantry, artillery and cavalry, or from slicing off the heads of the leaders of the revolt.

What it seems impossible to get into the skulls of our foreign critics is that we have a government to which every inhabitant owes allegiancf. Because it is a mild we did not deem it necessary to Support it by immense standing armies and by rigidly restrictive fine, because it is a free government, it does not follow that any body of our inhabitants have a right to defy" it, and discarcfits jurisdiction. We have never pretended tbat oars was a government without laws. We have never, since our establishment as a nation, done otherwise sought to reconcile the largest liber ty necessary to human happiness, with tne most perfect order. This may be incomprehensible to a Frehchman, but that no jftuit of Triinmm.

THE WAR IN GEORGIA. NASHVILLE, Oct. army has destroyed the railroad for 25miles towards Resaca, and also Little Shanty and Altoona. The rebel commander demanded the surrender of Resaca, threatening death to every man if the demrnd was not complied with. The commander, Col.

Weaver, of the 8th Ohio, refused to surrender. After some brisk skirmishing the rebel forces Withdrew. The enemy then advanced on Dal ton, which was surrendered without firing a shot, being defended by Col. Johnson, 4th United States, who could hare easily held the town if so disposed. The tunnel at Tunnel Hill was unmolested, though the cars and buildings at that station were destroyed.

From this point Hood went On the road he was confronted by the 4th corps, under Gen. Stanley, at Snake Creek Gap. Severe fighting ensued, result not ascertained. Beauregard is reported as commander-in chief of the army ofthe Mississippi, Hood being only commander of this department. Sherman is watching every move of his antagonist, and important operations are expected soon from that quarter.

Dispatches this morning report Hood at Somersville. No reinforcements have reashed him and his militia have nearly all deserted him. Prominent military men believe move will result disastrously to them. A small rebel force is reported at Cedar Hiil near Springfield, under Holmes, a guerrilla, and have opened a reoruitme camp there Miss Major Pauline Cushznan Is WTw in Philadelphia relating her startling adventures as a scout and spy in the Army of the land, "domination." and when they failed, refused to abide by the result of the canvass. It was the ok! jocose game of "Heads I you lose" over again.

To our eyes, which may be any eyes which have brains behind them, this seems to be pure and simple. When the subject is properly considered, we find that it is the rebels who are seeking to "dominate" over the Constitution, the laws, the ballot-box, the President, the Congress, and a large majority of the States. But this is not They sought to abscond, without giving ns the ghost of a reason, because they had not the ghost of a reason to give. They quite forgot the illustrious precedent of the Declaration of Independence. They did not exhibit "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind." They did not "declare the causes which impelled them to the separation." And finally, they seized territory purchased with the money ol Uie republic, and property belonging equally to all the State, and no less sacred because it was undivided and common.

If an observer sees no attempt at "domination" in ail this, it must be because he does not wish to see it. 2. Independence. This is another charming word for Copperheads to COD jure withall lor it is also a worn extremely dear to our people. Here the disloyalists make a blunder as great as the tirst.

In this world there are certain things of which we can, and certain other things of which we cannot, be equitably independent. The mob wcich for some hoursmadethe streets of New York like the highways of hell, was unquestionably a most "independent body, until it was subjected to cruel "domination" by the soldiery. The rebels in the same way, seek to be "independent," in spite of law, order, honor, oaths and contracts. No man, no community, is worthy of praise, simply for restiveness under self-imposed restraint. It is not customary, we believe, at least in moral circles, to compliment Satan for defying the "domination" of the Almighty, ana for setting up an "independent" kingdom in the heated districts.

He did it at the risk of his reputation, and be is nowhere lauded for his perhaps, in France. as What the Bchal Papm Say. NEW YORK, Oct. Richmond Whig oftbe 15th says: The PetersburgExpress of yesterday says our army is calmly awaiting the advance pf the enemy on the right, fully prepared to receive him when such a move is attempted. Though no dispesition is manifested to attack our position there since the late reoonnoissanoe, yet it is believed that the silenco of tie last few days is but the quiet that precedes an outbreak.

It is not unlikely that an attempt will be made to flank our works, the enemy are satisfied of the futility of all attempts to take them by assanlt. At tne present moment, says the Express, attention is called to the north side of tho James river, where a heavy engagement seems not atall unlikely. It is known that Grant has largely reinforced the forces already there within the last two or three nights, and it is not improbable that when the fighting commences we shall have it at both ends of the line. The Whig, referring to the destruction of rebel property ia the Shenandoah Valley, says: The fell work is going on, by order of Gen. Grant, to destroy everything thai will sustain life in the valley.

There is one effectual way and the only one that can be used arrest and prevent this and every other sort of atrocity, and that is to burn one of the chief cities of the enemy, say Boston, Philadelphia or Cincinnati and let its fate bang over the others as a warning of what may be done and will be done to them if the present system of war on the part of the enemy is continued. If vfe are asked how such a thing can be done our answer is, nothing would be easier. A million dollars would lay the proudest city of the enemy in ashes. The men to execute the work are already there. There would be no difficulty in finding them here or in Canada.

Reliable persons could take charge of the enterprise, arrange details of 20 men with plan's all pre-conoocted and means provided, selecting some dry windy night fire Boston in a hundred places and wrap it in flames from centre to suburbs. They might retaliate on Richmond let them ao so if they dare, it is a game at which we can beat New York is worth 20 Richmonds they have a dozen towns to our one, and in their towns Is centered nearly all their wealth.

Bull in gold has broken down, and prices have fallen rapidly.

Prioes opened at 15, sold as low as $2 06j, and went again to $2 09. WORLD CHINA LINK. lines have been contemplated and are in course of construction for a complete telegraph around the world. One is to reach from San Frahcisco across Behring's Straits, thence to the Amoor, and by the Russian line to St. Petersburg and Another leaps from Cape Race to Valencia on the coast of Ireland while a third passes from Labrador, by way of Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands, to the ooast of Scotland.

Of these lines, one or more is likely to be soon completed and meanwhile the English papers announce tbat a line from England Mross the European continent, through Turkey and along the Persian Gulf te Bombay, is nearly ready to be opened. This and the last above-mentioned Oceanic line, or the line by Behring's Straits to San Francisco, will establish complete telegraphic communication around the world, with the exception of a break from Calcutta across the empire of China to Pekin, which is the point for connection with the Russian line to St. Petersburg, and the American line to San Francisco. It is this break, or a large part of it, which "The East India Telegraph Company," a corporation chartered this year by the Legislature of New York, proposes to fill up. The line from Calcutta to Canton is already undertaken by an English company, with due authority from the British Government.

From Canten to Pekin is the route which the New York company will take, and which, onoe traversed by the wires, will complete the girdling of the globe. This Company has organized undej its New York charter in such a way as to be well entitled to public confidence, its capitalists and managers being merchants honorably known in the Eastern trade, many of them long residents of China, and familiar with the commercial needs of that Empire. Its enterprise is based upon two considerations the immense importance of completing the world line, and the local advantages which the telegraph from Canton to 1'ekin will possess, independently of its relation to other lines. The wires of this company are first lo be ut up from Canton to Macao and Hong a distance of 140 having a population of one million, Hofg Kong ol two hundred thousand, and the trade of both cities world-famous. Lying 245 miles north Is Amoy, with 250,000 inhabitants, and 120 miles further in the same direction is Foochow, a city with a population of 1,250,000, and within 70 miles of the black tea district, with a large commerce, and.with numerous manufactures of great value.

Beyond it 245 miles is Ningpo, with 300,000 people, and thriving manufactures of silks. Eighty miles north is Hhanghae, a city of not less than 2,000,000 inhabitants, and possessing a larger inland or native trade than any city in China. Yet between these great marts there is no telegraphic communication whatever, nor is there any line in any part of the whole Chinese Empire. The company proposes, therefore, to connect these great oommercial cities, and haying done tbat, to carry on its line to Nankin, with its 400,000 inhabitants, and thence to Pskin, which has a population of 2.000,000, and is the capital of an empire spread over an area of 5,000,000 square miles, and containing more than 420,000,000 souls, who pay to the Government an annual revenue of $120,000,000. It may well be understood that for governmental purposes alone, a line of telegraph thus extending between the chief cities of China will prove of incalculable value, alike in its use and in its profits to those who build it and receive Its income.

The enterprise is a great one, but its rewards will be great. Its progress seems to be well assured, and New York may presently expect to claim the honor of first giving to the oldest of existing empires the benificent invention which the newest of nations created, and at the same time of taking the final step for the completion of the one great line which is to put all the countries of the earth in instant York Tribune M.
