We be lieve that the swamps of the Ohiokahominy river have been the grave yard ot the Amer ican Army. The loss from fever, dysentery, and ague has'been donb'e or treble that caus ed by the enemy. It was those terrible en emies that defeated McClellan—not the com binations of Jackson and Johnston. That is, sickness had weakened his force so that he had not men enough to maintain his line ov er such an extent of country, and conse quently, when overwhelming attack from su perior numbers fell on his right wing, he could not re-enforce it. And what losses there were from camp diseases I How ma ny young men, who gathered in themselves the hopes a n d affections of large circles of friends, n en of action and of thonght, men of the noblest purposes and most heroic aspi rations, died not of wounds, but from typhus and swam p fevers. B u t the great and sol— ehin ooDsideration in this, ia that this loss m ight have been saved. A large propor tion OftheSe deaths were unnecessary. These noble yonng men were sacrificed on the al tar of American caste. The deadly swamps of the Ohiokahominy, and the sickly trench es at Corinth, are both raonnmenls of Amer- cau prejudice, and the divine punishment upon it. Halleck and McClellan have both been defeated by the same cause. Had our Eastern General, from the beginning, only acted as a m ilitary man would have acted in any other country, and invited into his camps, on promise of freedom, all negroes who would dig intrenohme 9 t 8 ,lie would have bad, by the time he reacued the Ohlckabom- iny, thoneands of mnacnlar men, used to tbe climate and to the night a ir ; good diggers and laborers, with whom he could have in trenched his army, while his soldiers were preaetvad fresh and healthy. Though en camped in tbe most malarious district n o rth of the Oarolinas, he neglected to do this.-\ A n o ther offering had to be made to the Mo- looh of slavery. Tho caste feeling of the ar my, or the ancient reverence lor the aristoc racy of s'avery, preferred to offer onr yonng men to the typhus and tbe swamp fever, rather than employ the negro, or disturb the “sacred institution”—and so the unnumber ed tbonsauds died from these terrible mias mata. Gen. Halleck, too, offered a consid erable portion of his army at the 'same shrine, and then, (still adoring the image ot the black goddess,) by driving the negro from his camps, he deprived himself of his best scouts and spies, and thus at last saw his campaign end in a miserable failure, which oven his grandiloquent telegrams ot mythical numbers ot prisoners taken, have not redeemed in the public estimation. Verily, the Almighty, as with the curses of Egypt, is showing to this people wliat is the sin of caste, and what shall be its punishment. Our bitter and uu- obristian prejudice against the negro ia re turning home to us, and is scattering p.;sti- sasnry ement the Adminiatration in a vigorons proseentiom of tho w ar for patting down rebellion, and responding to the principles and policy set \ irth in the A and Besointions adopted! ;,the meeting of the Republican and Union ambers of tho Legislatnre, held i ' \ „pril 18 tb, 1862 , are invited to ui election of three delegates from ea bly District to snob Convention.

From this it will be seen that where a man enlists in an old regiment, he has only to serve for one year, and is paid therefor a bounty of fifty dollars—half of it in cash upon joining, end the other a t the expiration of hia enlistment. The old regiments require on an average a t Ieasti400 men to fill them np to the maxinm standard.

T he S eoketakx of S tate .—Last week that semi secession concern the New York Herald, stated for the third or fourth time a that Secretary Seward intended to re- om the Oabinet, backing its state ments in thia instance by letters from Wash ington, declaring the change as a thing de cided, and giving the alleged reason for it in detail, in order to give plausibility to the affair. So far did the Herald go this time, that its statements were credited to some ex tent, and so far believed that Mr. Seward found it necessary to come ont with a reply, through the National Intelligencer, givir moat emphatic contradiction to the wl story. Tho Intelligencer states, by authori ty, that bo does not intend to retire from the Oabinet so long as his remaining in it shall be desired by the President: he does not propose to conueot himself with any oppo sition, or quasi opposition to the Govern ment of the Union; and ho reiterates hia frequently ezprossed determination never to hold anotliar ofHoa aftan he ahall have earned an honorable discharge from bis present position. In short, the Herald’s fabrication had oo ehadowof warrant in any act or thonght of Mr. S. For months efforts have been made in every imaginable way to induce a belief that the Secretary was about to retire, in tbe hope that possibly that result might follow. The enemies or the government know as well as its friends, that shonid Mr. Seward in some way get out of the Oabii the government wonid he weakened to s' a degree that the cliatces of overthrowing the rcbelp, or preventing foreign interference, would be very small. A b ove all, they un derstand that there ia nobody to take hfe place who commands half the infinence th a t he does, both at home and abroad. H aevest T ime and REonniTiNa.—While many are expressing much impatience that the reerniting of troops is notgoing on more rapidly, perhaps if they would recollect for a moment that this is tbe haryestieg season in all the northern and western states, they will see that recruiting is going on qnite as rapidly as the most sanguine could expect nnder the c-ronmatancas. Laborers are very scarce, farmers are obliged to hunt all over for them,even in the cities and villages of their neigborhood, and pay tbe highest kind of wages. In this county good hands get two dollars a day, and we suppose the same rule applies to other sections. But in two weeks from thia time the harvesting will be over and then the difficulties now encountered will be removed. It is quite as important for tbe country tc that tbe harveafe shonid be secured in tim as that other things should be done. T he S tate B ounty .—E nlistments are gt ing on so rapidly in all parts ' of tbe atsl that the Albany Evening Journal says that OoL Buss, Paymaster General, paid ont in the first three days after he opened his office, ten thousand dollars for bounties.

The old Eagles, half and quarter esL looked up in banks', were exported, or bought and used up by the manufacturers; the sil ver dollars were exported, or bought and used np as fast as coined, half dollars were seen ocoasionally, and smaller change scarce ly at all. All our change was in Spanish In the year 1882 some of onr statesmen began to argue that we might as well have onr metallic currency put in snoh a shape that it could be Used instead of remaining all but useless, and after a long disonssion tl gold bill, authorising the n§a of alloy to de base the coin at the rate of abont six per cent, was passed. The abBtraptlonists argued against it for a long time, p r^ioted evil oon- seqnenoes from debasing coin from tbe orig inal standard, and all that. Bnt,when the new coins appeared nobody yvhp could get them stooped to argue about the standard, of from and after that time geld became plenty, and as a consequence Ameri- in silver began tc- oironlate also. Again silver coins began to be bought up and exported, and used in manfaoturing to such an extent that change soon became very scarce, when a bill to add some ten per cent of alloy to coins of half a dollar and un der most effectually remedied the evil. As with the gold so with the silver, nobody iped to talk abont the relative pnrity of coin. It passed without objection and that was euongb. In onr humble opinion the evidence in the case is sufficient. Wa are again without change beoanse the silver is bought np, therefore another addition of alloy is wanted. Nobody would object, and the operations of the si>eonlators would be done at once. As in tlio Other cases, no evils bnt the imagina ry w o u ld follow.

In the first place, there is hardly a 'shadow of probability that the war will last over one year, if so long, as all who will examine the subject can see that it must terminate in that time. The soldier enlisting now, therefore, will ceive, first, his regular pay of $13 .per ontb, $100 bonnty from tbe government, $50 bonnty from the State, and $2 on enlist ing, if he enlists of bis own accord, or with out the aid tof a third party to bring him. His pay for tho entire year will then stand Regular monthly pay $166 00 Government bounty 100 00 D emocrats and S ecession —It Las already been shown a hnndred times and in various ?8, that there are « great many secession- or men sympathyzieg with seoessii in the norchern states, and these sympathizers are without exception dema- orats.

Of coarse the democrats of Iowa calonlate to act in harmony with those of other states.
