Lewis, tied to the rear of q baggage wagon.
After proceeding about mile it was reported
to Major Lewis that Lanahan was at large with
a loaded gun in bis hand. The Major, accom-.
panied by Assistant Surgeon W. G. Rogers, rode
towards Lanahan and ordered him to give up
the gun. Lanahan refused and while the Ma
jor was in the act Of getting off his horse to en-.
force his order, Lanahan retreated few steps,
took deliberate aim. aud shot the Major in the
back with ball and three buckshot. The lat
ter fell and expired in three minutes without ut.
tering word. Lanahan was secured, aud the
unfortunate officer was placed in d wagon aud
guarded to the camp. Lanahan is now in the
hands Of the Provost Marshal, and will be tried
by q drum-head court, probably to-day. The

CITIZENSHIP IN SECEssIoNDoN.-If any sane
man could feel a wish to go South and cast his
lot with the rebels he would find very little en-.
to do so in the reception that
would be given him there and the condition to
which he would be consigned. The act of the
insurgent Congress respecting naturalization Of
foreigners is said to be confined to those aliens
actually engaged in the military service of the
Seeded States, and that no other contribu-
ton Of service and no terms of probation can
entitle him to the rights ard franchises of citi
zenship. The taking of the oath Of allegiance
merely has no other effect, it seems, than to
avoid the penalties of the law which requires II,
and entities the subscriber to nothing more than
a friendly residence in the rebel States. Under
this state of legislation no person of sense
would be likely to seek a home in q country
where he is denied the character and qualities
of citizen except upon the single condition Of
going into the army and performing military SER
vice. This, however, be must do in emigrating
to "Secessia."-T Philadelphia Ledger.

| Our Colonel, J. G. Lauman, Of your place, ia
unanimously loved by every one in the Regiment
and his wish is command, for we are sure that he
would not have US any thing to do beyond
''duty." Our Lieutenant Colonel, Mr.. Wentz,
arrived few days ago and is getting along fine,
and fills his place well. Our Adjutant, D. T.
Bowler, commands the respect of the Regiment,
by his kind and generous conduct towards
the men. Our Sergeant Major, B. K Smith, of
Oskaloosa, fills his place to the utmost satisfac.
ton Of all, he is one of the 'boys." We are glad
of his promotion. Our Quarter Master, S. E.
Fousha, of Eddyville, is sound On the goose, >
he docs the business up right" provides for
his Regiment as well as be possibly can. No one
could have filed his place with more prompt
ness George Bennett, Of Oskaloosa, our Quar-
termaster Sergeant, is all y. K, and the selec.
ton of him for this post was well chosen. and to
the advantage of the Regiment. Our Commits
sary Sergeant T. W. Merrill, son of your well
known citizen, Stevens Merrill, docs fne as ever
and is well liked by the whole Regiment as any
to eat and coffee to drink, and hard crackers into
the bargain, and sundry little articles too nu
merous to mention, but sometimes they amt
quite so numerous. Capt. Kittridge, of Ottumwa,
company F, is keeping up fine spirits, inusing
energy and activity into every thing connected
with bis company, both officers and men. let

turned from hoIe, where he has been on leave
of absence, for few weeks, and there vas |

but Of company F, when the boys saw that Lieut.. |
Barns was coming.
It would take up too much Of your paper, to |
