The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1861-09-11

Mr.. EDIroR We had the pleasure Of
spending last Saturday and Sunday in the
camp Of the LIST Cavalry Regiment of
Iowa. now rendezvoused at Burlington
We found the regiment in good condi-
tion-that is, we found them comfortably
quartered, in good health, with plenty to
eat, and at u safe distance from the muir
derous fire of the enemy. Col. Warren is
in command, and seems to be gaining the
confidence and good wilLof his men. The
regiment is under good discipline, and
order and harmony prevails throughout
the entire camp.
A week or ten days ago all of the field
officers resigned for the purpose of allow
ing new election, and an election was had,
which resulted unanimously in favor of
Warren for Colonel, Terrence for Lieut.
Colonel, and Lefingwell for Major; but
the result not being satisfactory to some
of the former incumbents, who were de-
posed thereby, they reconsidered their
designations, and desired the continuance
Of their commissions All the facts are
before the proper department, but the re-
suit is not yet known. Col Warren's po-
sition is certain, and there is no doubt but
that Capt. Terrence is well qualified for
the post Of Lieutenant Colonel, as he is
perhaps the bes. military man in camp,
and is universal favorite with the men
Of the regiment. Lcfingwell is highly
spoken Of. The men Of Capt. Terrence 8
company who are devotedly attached to
him will be very reluctant to give him up.
! But in case of his promotion, Lieut. Nc
Queen, who will take his place, stands
high in their favor, and will no doubt FIJI
the position with credit 10 himself, and to
| the entire satisfaction of bis men.
The equipage of the regiment has not
yet been obtained, except few saddles
made in Burlington; but it is expected
that the contract for saddles will be filed
in week or ten days. Two hundred are
to be made i'll Burlington, the balance are
to come from Chicago. Capt. Thompson,
sent down to St. Louis last week BY Col
Warren 70 hurry up the arrangements for

From cairo.

Gen. Grant has returned to Cairo, of
which place and Southeast Missouri he
has command. He ordered Col. Cook to
march his troops, including the I'd and
eth Iowa regiments, from Jackson to Cape
Girardeau They were to>arrive on the
eth. COL Ross and Col. Hecker's regi-
ments having come down from Cape
Girardeau on the Sth, were posted mile
below Cairo on the Kentucky shore, and
were guarded by the gun boat Conestoga,
while a large force was engaged i'll throw
ing up breastworks. The rebels disap-
peared shortly after the force arrived.
The best and latest information gives
the position Of the enemy as follows: JEFF
Thompson. with his crew of some 1000,
is opposite Columbus; 20 miles below
Hickman, KY, is fortified and occupied
by large force. Columbus is being for
tilted and is occupied by some I 900 troops
under Geus. Polk and Pillow. There is
battery of ten guns north of Columbus,
with considerable force Island No. 10
is fortified with battery and large
force.
No news from Gen. Tilghman. He is
reported within two days march of Padu-
cab, with force in all from 4 200 to 8 1000

Lord Lyons, the Hrttish Ambassa-


The Albany (N. Y.) Argus and 4ARas
(democratic) thus notices Russell's eulogy
upon the British ambassador in Washing
ton, in his last letter. 1t says:
This eulogy upon Lord Lyons will be
laughed at by every one in Washington
He has, from the beginning, not only sym
pathised, but secretly co-operated with the
Confederates The evidence has been
published also, to show that Mr.. Russell,
himself, in concert with Bouligny, sent
Prescott to negotiate with JEFF, Davis for
the acceptance by the Confedcrates Of the
Articles of the Congress of Paris, with the
exception of our privateering clause. Why
does not our vigorous Government arrest
Mr. Russell, if he is thus secretly negoti-
ating with the enemy.
