The war upon this paper . . .

. . . by which the news is kept back, whether it is done by cutting the telegraph wires or in other modes equally creditable to the enterprise of competing Journals, is a much greater outrage and injury to the people of Iowa than to us. Our interest is small compared to that of the people at large who have sons and brothers in Iowa Regiments and who are awaiting news with breathless anxiety.
