The ex-Hon. Geo. W. Jones, having been released from Fort Lafayette, by a recent decision affecting that class of rebels, is expected home at Dubuque this week. There are enough rebels in that city to turn out and give him a warm reception for the distinguished part he has recently played in behalf of rebeldom. Whether they will be permitted to make any open demonstration of their sympathy with the secession proclivities of the gentleman who has cast a stain upon the fair name of Iowa, remains to be seen; but we hope there is enough Union sentiment in Dubuque to forbid the public manifestation of any such feeling.
