probably be attached TO the regiment two
companies of cavalry, and undoubtedly,
in every respect, il will be the most com
plete and best appointed regiment that
has left the State. Col. VANDEvER has
been indefatigable in procuring the best
that could be procurea from the govern
ment, as well for the comfort of the men,
as to promote the efficiency of the regi-
ment. When they get down among the
Missouri secessionists, the boys of the
9th regiment will be able to clean out
five times their number Of traitors.
The officers Of the regiment, with the
exception Of the Colonel, have not yet
been commissioned. Lieut.. ScoTr, of
this place, is acting as Adjutant, and is
making most excellent and popular Of
ficer. He will most probably receive the
appointment TO that post. Lieut.. BULL
is also strongly recommended for Major,
and, it is thought, will receive the COM
mission. The company choice for Lieut..
Colonel is Capt. DRrps, of Maquoketa.
The appointments will be made by the
Governor this week.
One of Capt. HoRD's company, named
GREEN. from Benton County, is under
arrest for getting drunk, and disorderly
behavior, and for leaving the Camp with
out permission. He will be tried by
Court Martial in day or two.
Every one seemed we'll satisfied with
their visit to the Camp, and we think
the excursion remarkably pleasant one
There was no accident ofany kind, and
at half past nine we Of Independence were
at home, thankful to the railroad Com
pany for the pleasure enjoyed, and heart
lily grateful to Conductor CAwLEY for the
care he manifested in the conduct of the
train, and for his uniform courtesy and
kindness. A more careful or compe-
tent Conductor cannot be met with than
Mr.. Cawley. He is ever watchful of the
tram, ever prompt, ever up to time,
quick to assist his men, ever willing TO
give information, ever pleasant and oblig-
ing to passengers. He deserves the good
opinion accorded to him by all who trav-
ell oyer the road

and marched at their head into town.
This courtesy and attention is acknowl.
edged with feeling by all.

Iptal Matters.
indie pendence Ahead!

Ey At the great National horse
sshow at Ottawa, Illinois, last week, the
,sorrel colt, owned by Messrs. Rich and
CLARKE. of this place, completely
whipped out the whole field. lie took
Hhe purse for green horses, beating his
first competitor in $50, and afterwards
beating the other two victors in 2:44.-
The best trotting made during the show,
by any other horse, was $50, according
to the Chicago Times. The reporter Of
that paper pronounces Mr.. CLARK, his
driver, rather green, for showing such an
amount Of unnecessary speed, because
it prevented him from obtaining any
other matches during the show, thus
proving that he had scared all the
f" fancy"

More Sheep.

Ls- Another drove OF sheep passed
through here last week on their way &c
some western county. This makes some
400 head that have passed through this
place within the last three weeks. We
are glad to record the fact that oul
farmers are awakening to the importance
and profit of this business of sheep rails
ing and wool growing.

The Excursion.

ES- We have only time briefly to no.
tlce the excursion OF yesterday. 1t was
a grand success, considering the charac
ter of the weather. During most of the
morning the weather was showery, and
about train time here the rain came down
in torrents. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, about $50 persons went aboard the
train at this place, and we found some
six large cars pretty well filed. AtWin
lhrop, Manchester, Earlville, Dyersville
and other stations, numbers came aboard
until there was hardly standing room left
on the long train, consisting of six pas
senger and three platform cars. By the
time we reached DverSyille the sun came
out bright, the air was warm and pleas
ant, and the day, thence on, was very
pleasant. Conductor CAwLEy took us in
TO Dubuque on time, and the 700 pass
cngers were soon moving up Main Street,
in long column. in pursuit Of dinner and
business and pleasure. Taking coach
we made our way directly to Camp I'm
ion, where, with some friends, we par
took of an excellent dinner. The Camp
was looking very clean and pleasant, and
getting peep at the commissary de-
partment, we found the most liberal sup.
ply of nice beef, fresh and salt. fish, DO.
tatoes, coffee, excellent bread, and other
edibles. The men are well supplied with
blankets, and the barracks are dry and
comfortable, the hunks being filled with
good fresh straw. Indeed the boys have
a right to be, as they are, remar kably
well satisfied. AS one of them remark
ed to us. they have splendid soldiers
fare.
Col. VANDEvER was upon the ground,
courteous and affable to all his visitors,
Major BRoDrDEcK, the admirable and
popular drill master, was putting the
boys through battalion drill, and we
marked with pleasure the great improve
ment IN tie precision of their movements.
BY the instruction of tho Col. the boys
were soon dismissed to enjoy the visit of
their friends, which they did highly.
AT o'clock the regiment had dress
parade, the usual hour being anticipated
for the benefit Of the visitors. The regi-
ment looked well, Notwithstanding but
few of the companies are uniformed. We
heard but one opinion. and that was that
the Independence Company took the
palm so FAR as appearance went.
Col. VAsDEyER informed us that he
had between eight and nine hundred men,
and expects the regiment to be entirely
full the present week. The tents aud en-
tire camp equipage of the regiment have
arrived together with their knapsacks,
haversacks, &c. Their arms, the Col.
thinks. have already been shipped, and
will probably be Enfield or Mimic rifles
for the flank companies. and the improv-
&c u. S. musket for the other companies.
The ordinance department has also made
a requsilion in the Coils favor for bat
terry Of six 6-pounders, three Of them
James rilled cannon. and the other three
smooth bores. Gen. MEIGs has also Civ
en- requisition for the clothing of the
regiment, including every thing, even to
overcoats and drawers, and the men will
undoubtedly be uniformed before they
leave Camp Union There will also

this regiment. The DR.. will receive

Board of Supervisors.

Ess- The Board of Supervisors adj.
journed OH Thursday last, after passing
upon considerable amount of business.
We regret to learn that they refused TO
vote TO more fully uniform Capt. IIoRD's
company of volunteers. The Board, we
know, were good deal pestcred with all
kinds Of bills respecting the military,
and we hardly wonder at their determin-
alton to shut the doors of the treasury
against them. But we think it would
have been well to have made a distinc-
ton. Here are company of noble fell
lows-brothers, sons, friends, neighbors
gone out from among us to fight in our
cause-for our rights and our interests
for our liberty and our property 1t is
our duty to see that they go well clothed
and provided for. Private subscription
has been exhausted, and an appeal to it
would be vain. The only way in which
the boys can sc, the necessary articles for
their comfort is by the literally OF the
county. Raised uniformly from every
property-holder in the county. Ito
amount which each person would have
to pay in the fitting out of the company
would be very small indeed, and no man
with grain Of patriotic feeling, would
object to pay it. Raised by subscription
the sum necessary would come out Of
few who have thus far been drawn upon
to the full extent of their capacity. Our
government is sorely pressed for means.
II is in life and death struggle, strug-
gle which must end in our national and
material veal or woe. Is il too much to
ask Buchanan County, with her full
treasury, to come forward and aid The
government to the small extent of giving
her own soldiers sufficient clothing for
present protection sufficient to conduce
to the health, and protect from exposure,
those who have SO nobly gone forth from
her soil =? Capt HoRD's men, many of
them, are thinly clad. The have but one
uniform shirt apiece, and their panta.
looms, in many instances, are too thin to
be protection in the cool weather which
we are even now experiencing. With
out additional clothing they must become
ragged and dirty, a condition very de.
pressing TO the spirits of any body of
men. Government will not provide for
them for some time, and unless the peo-
pie Of Buchanan County will do some.
thing in the matter, she must expect to
see her soldiers dirty. ragged and dis
satisfied. They have sent up an earnest
request for this clothing, and the ques-
tion is, shall they have it We believe
that with an expression Of the people in
favor of giving il to them, our Supervi
sors would gladly respond. We know
they are as patriotic as any of US. but we
believe they msinterpret the wishes of
The people of the county. We believe
that nlne-tenths OF the tax payers of the
county would sign petition favoring an
appropriation for clothing our soldiers.
Let such petitions be circulated immedi
aiely. Let them be fully signed. Let
those who have relatives in the company
interest themselves in procuring sigma
lures. and then by special session, We
think an appropriation. sufficient for pro-
'iding pants and another shirt, for the |
boys Will be gladly voted by the Board.

SEEKING REDRESS UNDER DIFFICULTIES
|-Bollmeyer, editor Of the Dayton (O.)
Empire. the month-piece of Vallandig.
ham. knows nobody nor nothing in the
political world, except as received through
the inspiration of the traitor Misrrpresen-
tative. Vsllandigham is his Alpha and
his Omegs-his Lord and Shepherd.
His thoughts by day AMI his dreams by
night arc of vallandigham. He strives
to touch the hem of vall.ndigham's gar
ment in the crowd, to smell Vallsnilig-
hams breath after drinking cider. to
sneeze when Vallaudigham takes snuff
and alaoays calculates "oucb! r. when
vsllandighsm's corns are trodden upon.
His one great idea is. "valIsndigham is
great. and l am his Prophet" In short,
to sum the matter up in little. Vallandig-
ham and Bollmeyer eject their saline
through the same quill. In view of the
foregoing facts. the eiitor has received
the nickname of "Vallandigmeyer"-
and by many persons is known by no
other.
One day the editor was walking the
street, when . little archin running by,
sang out: How are you, Vallandig-
meyer ?" The young man could stand
it no longer. but vowed to put stop to
such familiarity. Determining to have
the boys father correct him. he hssteued
to the psternal residence, and rang the
bell. A female darkie came to the door,
and said that the master was not in.
With much feeling. the injured young
man then stated that the boy had grossly
insulted him that he would stand it no
longer; and that he wanted the u.chin's
father to punish him 70. it. The dsrkie
promised to make his grievances known
at headquarters /; and as the editor turn
ed to depart. she happened to think that
it might help the case to have something
more definite to report, whereupon she
called out to him:
"What shall I tell him de boy said to
you. Mr.. Nalland;gmeyer :"
The young man incontinently sloped
without another word. no doubt feeling
that there was no relief for him this side
Of Purgstory!

SALrISc THE MusH.-A friend of ours,
who emigrated to the Missouri Bottom
at an early day. when the principal food
was corn bread and mush and milk,

Of his courting anecdotes. One of bis

the boys usually STATED on these e1pedi-
tions early in the afternoon, they enjoyed
the pleasure Of supping on the inevitable
mush and milk. On one occasion. our
friend was accompanied BY q wild. ha-
rnm-scarum fellow. who preferred devil
ment to "grub." any day. As supper
time approached, the familiar mush-pot
was hung over the FIRE in the room where
the boys were sitting. while the table was
being set in an apartment adjoining. The
old woman mixed the meal and water.
stirred in liberal allowance of salt. and
then went ont to assist the girls. Pres
emily in came Poll. and evidently taking
it for granted that the batch was yet to
be seasoned, took handful of salt from
q large wooden bowl on the "dresser."
and stirred it into the pot. Directly
Nance entered, and wondering half aloud
whether man sailed this mush," with
out testing it to find out, transferred ano-
ther dose Of salt from the bowl to the pot.
"Now, by hokey!" exclaimed our friends

satisfied that when the people. in Con.
