fB-We publish on the first page of this
paper, very, readable letter from our cor
respondent Dick" in the Sd Iowa regi-
mcnt. The murder of the wounded rebel
behind the log, which he narrates was an
atrocious act, IN our estimation, and sub
jccts the office, to severe censure. An ap.
peal for mercy .coupedl with a surrender OF
person should be respected. We are glad

f~-The McGregor Press of Satur,

TThe McGregor Press of Saturday
morning, manifested contempt for the
amenities aud courtesies which usually
characterize gentlemen Of the press by an
unproyoked, wanton attack upon the new
regime of this paper. 1t would have given
us pleasure to maintain relations Of comfy
with all the world Of newspaperdom, and
especially tn contemporaries Of our own

gor Press have built up wall between US
and them, they have failed to provoke US
to loss of our self respect. We shall

The Union Party.

1t gives us pleasure to notice that such
influential journals as the Chicago Tribune,
and Chicago Journal, have thrown the
weight of their influence for tho consolida-
ton of all the conservative Union sentiment
into one party, to be deno,ninated the Uni
on Party. Concerning this movement the
Journal pithily remarks, "Ihe party Of the
Union, tho Constitution, and the Govern
,acnt, is the only one that we can rccog.
nizc during this war. There is one other,
we know, and tina. is tuo party Of the OPP
position''---opposition to tue Union, the
Constitution, and the Government"
These are times that try the ,nc:al Of
men, and test the patriotism Of politicians,
and we apprcl,cnd there arc not many of
those who can say, as did the lamentcd
Douglas, .Thert is no persona! or party
sacrifice, / would net make for my coun.
try." Neither the Republican, or the De-
mocratic party can sustain and prosecute
the heavy war in which we are now engag-
ed, and if the people suffer either oil them
to attempt the responsibility and expense
Of it. the party will break down under the
load, and the power Of the government viii

Depart ure Of the Union Rangers.

On Thursday evening of last week, the
CanaGa-the same boat which carried off
the Clayton County boys-camc down to
our lcvee and expressed her willingness to
take the Rangers aboard. Then there was
hurrying to and fro, mounting in hot
haste, gathering up Of personal traps, ex-
changing farcwells, and an embarkation.-
One by one the brave fellows came down
through the gathering crowd, and attended
their horses on board. Captain Freeman
was in his clement-cheerful, vivacious,
omnipresent; his pet rangers, after much
embarrassments, and delay, were now to
make start for the war. a shrill blast
from the brass piece above the Texas soon an
| nounced that it was nearly time to be off.
By common consent the boys scambled off
to exchange farewclls; Capt. r. spent mo-
! ment in the sad yet pleasant leave taking OF
his interesting family. 1t was an impress
| siyc moment and trial for brave hearts
no tears were shed; indeed, there seemed to
he Spartan checrfulness in the sacrifice
which Mrs F. made for her country.
| When they had all got on board few
appropriate words Of farewell were address
ed them by Messrs. Hammer, and Noble
the big brass whistle shrieked its impa-
tience-the bell was tapped AGAR, 1.-THE pom.
dcrous wheels commenced their revolution,
land the boys were off amid the cheers Of
the great crowd which lined the levee. In
the silence which ensued as The boat swung
down the stream occasionally would be
heard the last sentiment Of some brave
heart in loud farewell, McGregor.' ~

where they will go immediately into thu
camp Of instruction and fit rapidly for &C
