Some three or four weeks ago a
sharp article appeared in the New
York Herald, on the subject of repu-
diation, in the State Of Iowa. The ar
tclc was well written, and richly de-
served.
Iowa is now in the market for q loan
Of four hundred thousand dollars, for
the war. The bonds will, doubtless,
be very beautifully engraved. with
coupons attached-but what will they
be worth? Nothing more is required
to perfect the dirty work of rcpudia-
ton, achere The judiciary is elected By tie
people, and rascality is popular, than
to get an injunction, and bring the
question, for decision, before maSis-
tratcs, who are popular aunkeys, and
nothing else.
About fourteen months ago, we
paid eight thousand dollars for eight
bonds, a part of which were issued
by the county of Iowa, and part by
the county of Powesheik, both in the
State of lowa-interest payable at
the Corn Exchange Bank, city of New
York. The bonds were beautifully
'executcd-vcry- but the beauty seems
to have been superficial. The coupons,
for the first six months, We're sent on
and paid. All interest falling due
since, remains unpaid and these two
counties of Iowa and Powesheik are
playing over again the Mississippi
game of repudiation-their bonds
their solemn obligations have been re-
ceived here at the North, under the
simple belief that the promisors were
honest men-thcy had every dollar Of
the consideration--and there it is, IN
their railroad propcrty-and now they
refuse to recognize their duty as men
of honor, or common honesty. In
these counties, are there not worthy
citizens enough to starye out this
brand of foul play and trcachery !?
Until this is done, for the sake of de-
ccncy, let us hear no more of Iowa
bonds, for the war or anyrther object,

For the 81. Charles City Intelligenccr
A MOTHERS RESPONSE,

Mr.. EDIroR: : Please accept the following
mes as Mothers Response to tho I" Young
Farewell -:
Yes, my darling son, I'll meet thee
In thy little chamber, where,
In the days of peaceful childhood,
We oft knelt for evening prayer;
To my heart I'll press thee closely.
While thy tear drops fall like rain,
But, my child, Tomorrow sunrise
Must descry no trace Of pain.
Though thine heart is breaking sadly.
And 'twould " do thee good to weep"
Natures ties must yield To duty
Let no weakness Ger thee creep.
Think of all thy country's perils
Think of 'Sumpter, Ellsworth, AYE,
Think of untold woes and wailings,
Were our foes to gain full sway!
At our iiresdc e'er taught thee
FearlcSsly each right to do;
Now thy country veal demands thee
Forth from home endearmcntS go.
War, feel, is truly fearful,
Bnt snpineness, fearful more;
Shall we crouch To Southern traitors
Shall We yield to Southern power!
IL, indeed, you fall in battle,
And thy spirit takes its flight,
Better. far, than our loved country
Sink in dark oblivion night
Let no thought of home or mother
Blind thee in stern duty's path;
Hadst thou even one hale brother,
He should follow thee forthwith.
Next my God, my country ever
Stands 'mong objects dear to me;
Next His word, our flag, or banner,
Severed never may it be
But I'll bless thee" freely ''blcss thee, -
Timely aid from God implore,
He shall nerve thee, shield and guide thee,
Safely till the war is DER
But, though off by early sunrise;''
Darling, deem not me - asleep -
BE assured that, at that moment,
prayerful vigil keep!
Bid thy heart be strong and buoyant,
While lave thy throbbng brow;
Hush my child, It's nearly daylight
Past the time for weeping now.
Evermore, at " early sunrise,'
Evermore, As day declines,
Shall fervent benediction
Flow from out this ~ soul" of mine.
For each true and loyal hearted,
For each noble volunteer,
For each heart from loved ones parted
GOD himself is quick to hear"
PA IL. D.

Having again opened this well known Ho-
tel, the proprietor takes this means to inform
the Travelling public and the rest of mankind
that he intends to make it worthy the pat
ronagc of travellers, and If attention to the
wants OF guests, good fare and low prices are
any inducements, he hopes to have his share
of business.
In connection with the Hotel is the largest
Barn in town, which is under the charge of an
experienced Ostler, and teamsters can depend
upon having their teams well cared for. This
house being the Stage Office, Railroad Ticket
Office, American Express and General Freight
Office, presents more advantages than any
other can show in the city. and all Iask of
my friends, is to try me once, and if not salts
fled, will not ask them to come again.

we followed mile and half, when
they made another attack. There
were 1900 of them against 400 of US
and we had to retreat back to Monroe,
where we took possession of the Fe-
male Seminary. We threw up an
cmbankmcnt that night and the next
morning, about sunrise, we could see
the rebels gathering. At about eight
o'clock they had surrounded us. There
were $500 of them. Our men num-
bered just 347. At nine o'clock the
rebels came up within a mile and a
half, and commenced firing at us with
tlcld-piccc. They fired thirty-one
balls at us, hitting the building but
three times, and dropping only two
balls inside Of our embankmcnts. They
never hit one of our men in all the
fight. We fired four charges of chains
and spikes, and afterwards found killed
five men and three horses. We were
out of ammunition and out of provis-
ions but we all made up our minds
to die there in our trenches Or whip
them.
At about o'clock in the afternoon
there came two hundred of the Hanni-
bal Home Guard. As soon as they
came the enemy began to move off.
The same evening five or six hundred
more troops came in from the West,
and the next morning we could not
see rebel any where, although they
were near by.
A man in one of our companies let
his gun go off accidentally, and shot
himself so he died that night. That
is the only man lost since we went
into camp.
During the day three hundred
cavalry and two companies of flying
artillery came up from Quincy. The
enemy were quickly dispersed, and
we started back for this place. On
the return we stopped over night at
Macon City, and in the morning, while
eating our breakfast, the little girl
of the house, about seven or eight
years old, ran in and said the rail
road bridge was on fire. Scventy-five G
or eighty rebels were at the bridge
trying to burn it, and there were only
fourteen of our boys to guard it. The
boys seized their guns and rushed out
after them. Two went to carrying
water in their hats to put out the fire,
while the remaining twelve did the
| fighting, and soon put the enemy to
| flight. One wounded man was hid in
the grass, who begged for his life,
but the boys blowed out his brains in
no time. The rebels have burned
three large bridges on this road but
they have got through now, for the
bridges are all guarded. We are all
well, and in first rate spirits since
having little fight.
We took about fifty prisoners, and
have got thirty horses that we have
taken. have one shot gun and one
watch as my part of the booty. | will
write again soon and give you the rest
of the news. l should have written
before, but we have been on the march

Delbert, and tell him about me.
