" "NEUTRALITY.' y

Now that the booming of the cannon of
treason and the cry of men stricken unto
death for fidelity to our flag are borne to
us on almost every breeze it is narrowing
to the soul to be dragged into companions
ship with those who stiIl vacilate, who are
still timidly balancing chances and coldly
calculating losses andgains who still per-
sist in treating this agonized struggle for
national existence as petty question of
commerce, and deliberately take out their
scales and tceigh in our presence The beggurly
js,rels of trade against the life Of our country.
KEYTUCKIANs AND NoRTHERNERs TOGETHER
IN THE RANKS.
You will soon mingle in the ranks with
the gallant volunteers from the North and
West, and with me you will admire their
moderation, their admirable discipline, and
that deep determination, whose earnest
ness with them has no language of menace
or bluster of passion. When the men from
Bunker Hill and the men from the "dark
and bloody ground" unestraRged from
eoch other by the low arts of politicians,
shall stand side by side on the same ma
tiona battlefield, the heart of freedom
will be glad.

ATRocITY OF THE REBELLIoN.

When We look away to that scene Of
carnage, all strewn with the bodies of pa
triotic men, who courted death for them
selve that their country might live, and
then look upon the homes which their fall
has rendered desolate forever, we realize
-whatI think the popular heart in its for
bearance has never fully comprehended-
the unspeakable and hellish atrocity of this
rebellion. 1t is perfect saturnalia of de-
moniac passion From the Redeemed wa
ters of Bulls Run, and from the CORY field
Manassas, there is now going up an appeal
to God and to millions of exasperated men
against those fieuds in human shape, who,
drunk with the orgies of an Internal ambf-
ton, arc filling to its brim the cupof ma
tion's sorrows. Woe, woe, say, to these
traitors when this appeal shall be answer

MANASSAS.

The country has indeed lost battle, but
it has not lost its honor, nor its courage,
nor its hopes, nor its resolution to conquer.
This check has taught us invaluable les
sons, which we could not have learned
from victory, while the dauntless during
displayed by our volunteers is full of
promise for the future. Leonidas himself,
while surveying the Persian host, that,
like a troubled sea, swept onward to the
pass where he stood, would have been
proud of the leadership of such men. We
will rapidly recover from this discontinue,
which, after all, will serve only to nerve to
yet more extraordinary exertions the nine
teen millions of people who have sworn
that this republic shall not perish; and
perish it will not, perish it cannot, while

fortably quartered here at Keokuk in vacant

n men sworn in, and only need six more to
bring our number up to the minimum. We
have had an addition of five men from
company broken up here, and with the men
promised us from Wapelo and those we ex.
pect to get out of said broken company vet,
we have no doubt but our company will run
up to the minimum this week. We have
some ten more men than any other company
here, and expect to be the first company full,
and be letter A in the Regiment, and can
offer inducements TO our friends in Wapello
who desire to enlist, not yet offered by any
other company from our section.
We have our uniforms, and I can assure
you that they improve the appearance of our
men full so per cent. We have excellent
heavy blue frock coats and pants, good un-
dersArts, drawers, socks, shoes, shirts and
caps, and | believe this is the first Regiment
recruited in the west that las not had to
wait weeks and months for their uniforms,
and speaks volumes in praise of the energy

We are also pleased to know that j. A.

on hand before long.
The details of the battle at Belmont is
awaited for by our company with great anx.
