The 1sbels' Opinion Of Gen. Mcclellan.

mics. subordinate only to Gen. Scott.
We DO not regret this change 80 far as
the fame of Beauregard is concerned;
on the contrary, we rejoice that it has
been made, because we know there
could be little credit in scattering such
troops as have heretofore met our hero
ic men in battle, led by the Pattersons
and Buffers. and such like political
trash. Mcclellan is worthy of Beaurc-
CARDS attention, and while We have not
for a moment doubt of the result of
their first measurement of arms in the
field, nor Of any later conflict, so far as
the reputation of Louisianas great SOL
dier is involved, we hope when they
are face to face arrayed against each
other, no great disparity Of force nor
deficiency of material will be allowed to
cripple our side on the eventful occa-
sion. In presence Of an officer so thor
ouyhy soldier as McCAilan, it moulH

Negligent on outpost duty IN contempt Of
the foe ; he will, if any one can, make
something of the sons of the Pilgrims,
the descendants of the Mdy F2oWer's
passengers, and, therefore, our complete
satisfaction that one whom it will be
really great honor to defeat is now to
be put at the head of the Lincoln army
Of subjugation.

A CHALLENGE AND A RErLY-9eofEc
d. Prentice, ESQ.,, the editor Of the

editorial published in his paper, cent to
Hanson the the following reply:

Military.

Military.
Eg"The military fever is raging to a
great extent throughout our county. In
this village thirty names we're procured
in one day for the organization of a com
pany, and it is expected that the full num-
Der will be secured this week and officers
elected. We believe it is the intention
of the Company to uniform themselves.
AS soon as the officers are elected, the
services of the company are to be ten
dered to the Governor and efforts made
to procure call to active service. The
roll is now open, and an invitation is ex-
tended to all good, earnest men in the
county, who are DESTROYS OF serving their
country, to come forward and Join the
company. The list comprises the names
of some Of our most worthy citizens,
men who we know will not shrink from
duty when the call comes. Let the
ranks of the company be filled out i'm
mediately, and the Governor notified OF
its readiness to march.
At Littletop, also, strong effort is be-
ing made to get up company, and with
much show of success. The roll already,
we believe, numbers some forty or fifty
men. This company will also be offered
to the Governor.
At Quasqueton, some thirty or forty
names have been procured for Home
Guard, and there is no doubt that full
company will be formed. Should their
services be needed there is no doubt that
its members would heartily respond to a
call to active duty. We hope soon to
record the fact that Buchanan county
has three hundred men enrolled, ready
to march at the command of the Govern
or to the pos: of duty and danger.

to see our Legislature follow the example
of those of some of the New Eng land
States, which voted all necessary supplies
of men and money for the war, and then
adjourned, sitting only three or four
days. There are some matters Of gem
eral legislation, however, to be attended
to by our legislature, which will proba-
bly, compel greater consumption of
time.

ORNAMENTAL to Head Stone, and are worth
twice the amount charged, for an Ornament
More than Fifteen Thousand Cases have been
sold. This fact alone shows conclusively that
they are fast coming into general use.
The adjoining of the Sepulchers of removed
ones alleylates our grief, and sooths the wound
ed heart. 1t also cheers the bereaved to know
that an additional embellishments of the grave
presents stronger attractions to arrest the atten
ton of the stranger, and causes him to pause
and learn the name and gaze ON the likeness of
one who has shared so largely in the love of
others. To n refined and cultivated mind
there IS not a more mournful spectacle on earth
than desecrated grave, or neglected and ov-
ergrown graveyard. Those in whose memories
the departed live, will come to strew flowers on
their graves and drop the tear of affection
They will plant there the Rose, the Lily, and
the Evergreen, as emblems of fra grant and
beautiful Immortality, which they assign them
in the Paradise of God. Above all we would
deplore the loss of those HkeacSSeS Of dear de-
parted ones, which are so distinctly engraven
upon the tablets of our memory. Although
months and years may have elapsed since mex.
orable Death made US surrender the bodies oil
cherished ones to the grave, and their spirits to

beautiful and lite-like.

pressed their devotion to the Union
Their remarks were listened to with at

patriotic spirit Of the women of '76 was
not yet extinct. THAYER's Band, from

the spirit stirring fife and drum, as they
struck up Hail Columbia, Yankee Doodle
or the Star Spangled Banner, aroused
the patriotism of the people to fever heat.
Offers of money for the support of the
families of those volunteering were free
y made. About 80 have enrolled them
selves, and there is no doubt that full
company will be raised. Another meet
ing will be held next Saturday evening,

entire county, is a unit for the Govern
ment, aud will furnish her quota of men

bitter end, no one will for a moment
question.

Dyspepsia.

This is a very distressing complaint and
gives the patient more su tiering than almost any
other disease; in fact, it is a combination OF
many complaints in one. The symptoms are
numerous and are of the nature of almost all
other complaints combined. From this fact
arise the very many eases where this disease is
mistaken for some other, and so improperly
treated. The first mptoms-indigestion flat
uleney, loss of appetite, headache, etc, if ne
elected, almost always awaken some dormant
disease, and send the poor sufferer to q prema-
ture grave. What YOU must first do is cleanse
the blood and regulate the bowels do this with
the Mountain Herb Pills, and you can bid de-
hance to dyspepsia.

Weather..

ES- The weather, during the whole
Spring, has been cold, clustering and
disagreeable For the past week we have
experienced the strongest winds, which
has whirled the dust into every crack
and crevice, and into the eyes, mouth,
nostrils and ears of all things animated
hereabouts. On Sunday the rain pour
ed down violently all day, while the tenn
perature was by no means of torrid
character. The water was needed, how
ever, and did much good. The grass
springs up but slowly, ard the leaf buds
on our trees open but very gradually, SO
that we have hardly yet begun to appre
ciate that it is spring. Wheat, however,
profits by the cool weather. and is doing
finely. A great breadth Of land has been
sown this spring, and should there be a
favorable growth and harvest. this county
will give greatly increased crop
