President calling out 100000 additional
troops is now pronounced hoax. So also is]
that foolish rumor that he had pledged to North
Western Governors that no peace should take
place till the Flag Of our Union should float
over every foot Of Southern soil. The Presi-

natures mobiles. model man, No. ! officer,
with heart as kind as woman's. We hope
he will reach a high position in the Iowa divis.
