Scarcely week has passed in the last

these favors we have always cheerfully
extended to them gratis. We have felt it

all the worthy institutions and public en-

FRIEND DANIELS: Amid strange and
exciting scenes on this pleasant Sabbath
afternoon, I have chosen little corne,
in the upper story of our ore story quar-.
tiers, for few moments, to have . pleas
ant chat with you, and throught the col.
umns of the Adgertier, our many dear
friends in "Old Cedar" As the Upton
Brass Band, and number of the citizens
of Upton accompanied US to camp, aud
have Of course reported the incidents of
our trip, need not detail them to you
Suffice it to say that as Wilton (although
20 previous arrangements had been made
the citizens, with a generosity truly graf.
flying to US, made abundant provisions
for our comfort and, also, at Muscatine,
where we we're honored with quite fat
teriog reception, and that material aid
and comfort which our physical natures
required. We got into camp yesterday
morning at 5 o'clock, which is located on
the old fair ground, about l J miles from
the city. The day was spent in fitting
up our quarters Each company has
large board tent, about 65 feet long, with
sleeping hunks at each side and through
the centre.
The Commissary Department is locat
ed in large building near the center of
the camp, where our provisions are pre-
pared for US, and tables set sufficient to
accommodate the whole encamp ment at
once.
We have now in camp, believe, 81
FIVE of which arrived this
Afternoon, end 8 more to arrive, making
three regiments. The 9Th Regiment, to
which We are attacked is now full. I
have the pleasure and take pride in say.
ing to the citizens of Cedar county that,
no company in camp can compete with
the Upton Guards in equipments, and
as for drill and general appearance, /
leave others to bear witness, but from
the testimony of those who have volun.
teered their opinions, think we need
not fear the ordeal through which we
will be required to pass.
Yesterday evening at the close Of our
drill, the Testaments, which the ladies'
of Upton so kindly furnished the Guards,
were distributed. and il would have been
gratifying to the donors to have seen
the spirit with which they were received,
and also the very large proportion of the
Guards who have spent more or less of
this day in reading their sacred pages.
Tomorrow wewill be regularly mustered
into the service, when the duties of the
camp will be entered on in earnest.
But more again.
Yours truly, GUARD.

We venture TO say, is the best company
IN every respect that Iowa has yet sent

are all young, hearty, and strong men,
who are able and willing to give good
account of themselves. Large numbers
OF our people accompanied them to Will

They left Muscatine at 10 o'clock Friday
night, landed at Burlington Saturday.
and marched directly to the camp ground,
where rough board buildings had been
erected for their use. We have made
