There are ten cavalry regiments here-the
lst, I'd AMI Sd Iowa, LIST and Cd Michigan
I'd Illinois, one Nebraska, one Missouri and
one Independent.
The LIST Iowa leaves to-day They are well
drilled, and go through their evolutions with
ease and precision. u
There are in St. Louis and vicinity about
10000 troops-all ready, eager and anxious
for the fray. All seem to think things movo
too slow but suppose ais for the best.
The weather is most delightful. No one
would suppose, from the weather, that we
were in the midst of December. 1t is like
May-clesr, beautiful days-mild, calm and
sp,ing like cloudless nights, with the full
moon riding majes.icaly through her starry
courts, and pouring down her food of mel.

Tcommuuica.ed.1

Mr.. Editor Il have been somewhat sur
prised, as we'll as amused, at the story of Mrs.
Heroine Phelps. That Mrs Phelps is Justly
entitled to the title of heroine, ana patriot
wife and mother, readily concede She has
proved herself to be noble woman, whose
many virtues will not be allowed to pass into
obscurity when the history of this rebellion
shall be written. But this does not depend
upon the "cock and bull' story in your pa
per.
The facts, according to my recollection,
are that, after the battle, flag of truce was
sent out, and the body Of Gen. Lyon was
brought into Springfield before, or at about
the same time, that the Federal troops COM
menced the evacuation. This being the case,
destroys the "watchful vigilance of Mrs
Phelps over the body Of the great chief, in
Prices camp. Neither was her husband on
duty, as Colonel-my recollection being that
he was filling his seat in Congress.

A Coop HIT.-A volunteer and
some citizens were talking about the
war, az Elmirs, a few days since, when,
q difference having arisen, some per-
son proposed to settle it by taking q
drink. "No, no !" said the volunteer,
"that is not the way to talk. You,
and all other men who can possibly
leave home, should at once agree to
enlist. This war should be fought out
AID settled with all possible despatch.
Drinking won't settle it; for if it
would, our officers s0ould haze SET
tied ii long ago !"

BsrrER!-- They had good days business
up in Davenport recently, which so elated the
citizens of that quiet town that one of them
enthusiastically counted the country teams
standing on the streets, and reported the
number to the Gazette. We are not sur

there was scarcely enough going on to sup

BUYING CAvALY HORSES
contractors are through the country buying
up horses Quite brisk trade is going on
and horses are almost constantly passing
through town on their way to Mount Pleasant,
where Col. Porter is purchasing horses for
his regiment. The contract price for each
horse is $40 and $95. If the agent buys
horse for S65 he sells him to government for
$50 or sos, according to his bid, and makes
a handsome little sum; but if, in lot of fif.
teen or twenty horses, two or three should
be rejected, as has been the case, his profits
are very snail, and particularly so if the
agent pays S75 each for his horses. We I'M
derstand that Col. Porter inspects the horses
himself, and we are confident there will not
be many bad horses in the 4th regiment Of
Iowa cavalry.-Fairfeld Ledger.

The New Jersey State arsenal, at Trenton
has been fitted up for riding the old smooth
bore musketS.
Out Of 90, 900 troops at Benton Barracks,
| there were "a few days since, 1890 on the
sick list. The deaths range from so to 70
q week; or total Of 242 in four weeks
the barracks are called good, but they are
badly ventilated. Fatal sickness is the legit.
innate consequence.
The Boston 2rareler is informed that Gen.
Phelps, the hero Of the Ship Island proclama-
ton has been in former years subject to &C.
casional fits of insanity. The fit seems to
be on him now.
Our stock Of satpetre on hand is quite
small, and as the supply from England and
India is cut off, prices have advanced from
&c to 20c pound. Mcssrs. Dupont & Co.,
OF Wilmington, who have large contract
for furnishing the Government with powder,
recently purchased an immense quantity of
saltpetre in England, but will not be premit
ted, under the recent act of the Queen, to i'm
port it.
The mammoth steamer Constitution, that
bore Gen. Phelps division of Buffers expedi-
ton to Ship Island, has arrived at Boston,
ready to take the balance of the troops and
Gen. Butler himself to command the whole.
Gen. Butler was expected to return from
Washington (wherc he had gone for final in
structlons) on Monday, when the embarka-
ton of the troops would begin at oace.
Attorney General of Ohio decides that it
makes no difference in what State citizen
en,ists INTO the service Of the United States,
so far as concerns the claim of his family (if
he has one) for the relief from the State. all
other States disown such of their citizens as
have gone elsewhere to enlist, and the Adiu-
tant GenerHl of Massachusetts has made suit
in the courts against recruiting officer from
New \ ork, to test the question as between
tn Sc two States.
How THE BOYS KEEP WARM AT RoMNEY-
A letter from member of the First Virginia
regiment, now at Romney, who says he holds
the rank of private in the rear rank, describes
how the boys keep warm in the absence of
winter quarters. They first dig trenches I'M
der and through the tents, and then carry
and plane stones over the top. The cracks
are filed up with clay mortar. At one end
of this covered trench OF fue, outside of the
tent a flour-barrel is placed for chimney
The fue is fed with fuel from the opposite
end, also outside of the tent. In this way
the tents are kept warmer than they could
be by stove.

JoHN S. LovE--John II. Jewett, E.q. who
is advocating the election of the Union
county ticket) said something about Mr.
Love, at Long Bar, on Saturday evening.
which was We learn, TO the following effect =:
That late Grand Jury recommended that
the Board Of Supervisors cause the books Of
the county officers to be examined. The
Board appointed a Commission for the pur-
pose, viz: Supervisors Lowery and Carpen-
ter. and John "A. Paxton, E-q. The exami-
nation was made, and the report has been
filed with the Clerk of the Board That re-
port we expect to publish, and it will show
whether matters have gone on regularly or
not at the Court House. No public officer
will Object 10 having the affairs of his office
shown to the people who are his employers.
Mr. Jewett told the Long Bar meeting that
the report would show that the Tax Collect
ol's books had not been kept scientifically ,
and that in some cases settlements were not
made at the times required by law. He eX
pressy declared thai he made no charges ol
detalcatiou, nor did he believe any defacation
had been IN de but he said he was satisfied
that the report would expose irregularities in
making settlements, and a want of system in
keeping the books of the office. We will
publish the report Of the Investigating Com
mission as soon as we can obtain II copy.
