THIRD REGIMENT.

The teuth company has not been designs-
ted, but will most likely be taken from either
Upton, Oskaloosa, or Cedar Falls. These
regiments will be ordered to Keokuk in a
very few days.
Considerable amusement was created in
the House, to-day, by resolution offered by
Claggett, of Lee, declaring that, in time Of
war, no citizen should be exempt from mil
itary duty on account of conscientious scru-
Piles. The Quakers came in for some sharp
hits, but were defended hy Shipman, of
Musoatine, McIntire, of Hardin, and others.
The resolution was voted down.
The committee on Ways and Means re-
ported bill providing for the issue and sale
of State Bonds to procure loan, which
authorizes the issue of bonds to the amount
Of Eight Hundred thousand Dollars, the
principle to be reimbursed at the expira-
ton of twenty years, and the interest to be
paid emi-annually, at the rate of seven per
cent. per annum, made payable in the city
of New York. This bill will meet with very
strong opposition, in respect, particularly,
to the amount.
The Militia Bill, introduced by Baker, Of
Clinton county, passed the House, unani
mously. cannot predict its fate in the Sen
ate. l enclose a copy.
The Sena te moves slowly no business Of
Importance having, as yet, been transacted
IN that body. j. w. L.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.

HEAD QUARTERS 1sr Iowa REGIMENT, !
KEoKUK, May 10, 1861. )
To-day two thousand stand of arms and
the camp equipage for the regiment arrived
We will probably be in camp tomorrow.
Private Winning is very sick, and not ex'
pected to live; disease being fever. All the
rest Of the company are in good health and
spirits.
We have had a great time on lunches for
the last three days, on the remains of the
grand feast sent US ny the ladies Of Musca-
tine. This fattering compliment has set us
up nightly in Keokuk. The daily papers
gave glorious account of the supper. Ser
geant Fessler had box of delicacies sent
him by some generous friend. We had oul
special friends, the officers of the Burling
ton Zouaves, in quarters, and shared with
them some of the aforesaid Injuries. This
company is very gallant and fine looking
body of men-geutlemen and soldiers.
In great haste, II. G.

consideration, compels every able bodied
citizen, between the ages of eighteen and

of the Governor or Legislature is to be tried

No better illustration of the weapons to

the closing of the pablo schools, the sch DOL

poses. Secessionists know that ignorance
is a most effectual ally in such cause.

DEAR JOURNAL - Being nearly dead with
ennui and having nothing else to do l shall
relieve the tedium by writing to you. d.
not imagine: even for on instant, that ON
about to be so green as to bore you with {
long letter, as shall do no such thing.
You have published, perceive, the state
ment that a secession flag is waving at Alex
a1dria, Missouri, point few miles below
here. This is hoax. No such flag ha
been there since our occupation Of Keokuk
report to the effect that a flag Of this de
scription had been flung to the breeze a
that point, created a big muss among thu
companies rendezvoused here-from two tt
three hundred men volunt eered to 90 an'
tear it down, and would have done 81, hat
the report been true.
We boys here have great times over tn
provisions sent down by the Muscatine ladies'
than whom, by-the.way, there are nom
handsomer, more charming or more patriotic
AS long as the provision lasts, we are t.
have lunch every day. At the presen
time, l have big chunk of cake on tn e
table beside me, ard l write line and tax,
bite alternately.
ATTENDED ladies' fair and festival, nigh
before last, and had splendid time. A larg'
number of our ''boys" where there. TIL
Rev. F. W. Evans, Of our city, was presen
a.,
ladies', he formerly having been pastor o.
the church which gave the soree. 1t is need
less to say, we all cut an extensive { ash ant
would, if he hadn't been preacher, declared
him to be perfect 'bri ck.''
The regiment has adopted Hardees tactic,
for drill, which is universally liked by thu
boys, particularly the I'd oub!e quick time,
or, in other words, the dog trot." We arr
exceedingly delighted when Lieut. "Ben,
whose legs appear to be made Of cast iror
gives rs the order for this maneouvre. With
little more practice, we think we shall be
able to make our mile minute. We can,
run much more than three quarters of mile
in that time, just now, on account Of the hot
weather.
The boys are all well except q few of us
who have had our heels barked by the clum,
~ feet of the men behind, in ''doub!e quick
time" Sergeant VIM. Fessler, Esq, of the
pony squad, grows fatter and fatter day after
day, and can do the double quick time -
on a hot day in the handsomest style possible.
We were astonished and de'i4hted to day
by the advent Of our friend King of the
Review. who, we are glad to see looks as
hearty as buck.
I have been writing this letter as it will
probably show for itself on "double quick
time," and as my cake has run out 1 will
stop writing and 90 out and practice double
quick time" We drill altogether now in
double qnick time,'' it BEING so pleasant
these hot days. U.
P. s. Our dog, Union, is all right, and
can beat any other man in the company on
double quick time"
