About 5000 men are now in camp
at Davenport, about ], geo at Dubuque,
and the 4th cavalry rapidly filing up
at Mt. Pleasant. The uniforms and
equipments for two regiments, are at

TOO horses for the Cd cavalry regiment
are already there, and more arriving

The quota for Iowa, Of the soc, 900
troops, is 1850. When the regiments
now organized are full, Iowa will
have 81 $50 troops in the field-4 900
more than her quota. The Des Moines
Register says that two regiments al
least have gone into Nebraska, Wis.
consin, Illinois and Missouri, and be-
come identified with the troops Of
those States. Three full companies
Of Iowa boys went into the Nebraska
Regiment, and from the eastern por.
ton Of the State, whole companies
have gone off and been merged in the
Regiments Of other States--to say
nothing about individuals from nearly
every organized county who have en-
listed in Regiments out Of the State.
The 10th Missouri has three companies
of Iowans in it. The Kansas troops
are plentifully intcrmixed with Iowa
men. A Cavalry Company lately Or
gained at Fort Dodge, of which F. A.
Stratton is Captain, has gone off to
Washington. We have not taken in
to account the ;mpromptu military COM
binations formed in the Southeastern
part OF the State to cooperate with
Colonel Moore in Northeastern Mis-
souri,. In the counties bordering on
Missouri. every ablc-bodicd man may
be said to be in active service, wheth-
or he is at home or away with Reg
iment. For weeks, guerilla bands of
Seccssionists, and even rebel armies,
have been kept from systematic dep
rotations on Iowans and their proper.
ty by the activity displayed in part
by border men who belong to no reg.
ular military organization. These
men, If taken into account would
swell the number Of our soldiers to
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND.
1t is easy then to see from the above
figures, that the drafting agitation,
started at the Adjutant Generals of.
flee in Davenport, was premature.
The State has already furnished thou
sands Of troops more than the Gene
raj Government has demanded. On
the volunteer soldicry of the United
States the preservation of the Union
depends. Patriotism, and not drafting,
will save the Government.
