| EDITOR ADVERTISERS:
We are here again, having returned
from short scout on the Usage, where
we were called to repel an apprehended
attack on the railroad bridge We were
called up at twelve o'clock at night, or
dered to "fall in" and march to the rail,
road depot, where train was awaiting
US here was part Of the Irish Brigade,
some Home Guards, and two companies
of the Iowa 5th-in all near 400 men,
We got to the bridge about o'clock in
the morning, and so silent was our move
ments that we occupied the town with
out awakening a single inhabitant. In
the morning they were very much sur
prised and alarmed to see the town occu-
pied by troops, as they supposed we were
secesh. A large number of Unionists had
assembled here for protection, and their
JOY may be imagined when they found
that we were Federalists. They told
some awful tales about the atrocities
committed by the rebels.
here saw the smelling furnace that
jackson fortified with railroad iron when
he burnt the bridge in the spring. They
built wall of railroad iron around it,
with port holes to shoot through, making
the lower story completely ball proof.
In order to fortify the upper story, they
hit upon a novel and barbarous plan, but
in perfect keeping with their character.
1t was to fill the upper story with the
best union men in the country, whom
they seized and held as prisoners for that
purpose. The UuioDists could not shell
the place nor fire through the roof without
killing their own friends. But day Of
retribution is at hand when all such acts
! will be fearfully avenged. After remain

weird and deviIish place fer q man to

which nature abhors, following every
line Of the mould, aud fulfilling every
condition of the artizan. He knccks
away the auxiliary, and finds solid that

keep until subjected again to the fierce

modation about it now. There it stands
as it has been made, the proof and critic
of the workman. In the foYpderies by

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

The people of Cedar county, in con-
ncction with the other counties of the
State, will soon be called upon to choose
County Superintendent. To the friends
of education, aud especially to teachers,
the question, who shall it be is all i'm.
portant. When we consider that upon
the discretion of the Superintendent is
to depend the standard of qualification
for teachers to supply the schools Of the
county, the Importance of this question,
to parents aud tax payers, is manifest.
The examination Of teachers is a matter
that cannot, with safety, be entrusted to
every one who has the requisite mental
qualifications; it requires experience in
seaching. The person to IL. this Office
should be an actual teacher.
1t is required of teachers to come once
in four, six, or eight months, or once a
year at the longest, and be examined as
to their qualification for their business.
This is required in no other profession.
Is it not matter of Importance, then,
before whom we pass the trial? As
teachers we chcerfulIy submit to 1t,
knowing that it is for the advancement of
the good cause in which we labor; but
but we do protest We are particular by
whom it is done. Teachers and friends,
let us look to this in the coming election.
We notice that county conventions are
being calied-there will be the place for
action. This should not be made party
matter; but that it will be, is a forgont
conclusion. To teachers, as to party, i
matters little, perhaps, only give US
good man-a friend of education, frieut
to the teacher R.D.p.

Correspondence of the Upton Advertiser.

NASHlNGTON ~. u, August ~, 1901.
FRIEND DANIELS:
! Since | last wrote you national affairs,
to the view of outsiders, have remained
in apparent stdtu quo. But l happen
to know that there is a continued in
crease in men and matera! to the Union
army in and about this city. have
seen more artillery, guns, and fixtures
belonging thereto, quietly arriving in
night trains and as quietly conveyed
through the city to points where the coa-
trolling military authority-Gen. McClel
lau-required them. Among them were
a dozen of those terrible 80 pound Parrot
guns, rihed-like unto the one we lost
in the Bull Run affair. Several Ga pound
crs have also been transferred to points
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
These monsters are drawn by eight hors-
es and throw shell that produces a
young earthquake when they explode.
A great many Of the soldiers, wounded
in the Bull Run fight, are we'll enough
to resume duty. Some Of these had a
narrow chance for their lives. | met
one yesterday who had received a wound
in the thigh, from piece of shell, large
enough to thrust an ordinary sized hand
into. After he had passed. a comrade of
his remarked, "Thcrc goes fellow that
said his prayers once-I don't know
whether he is grateful now or not. -
a belief in a special Providence is com
mon among these rough men although
one would not suspect it from their eve
ry.day life.
Last week one hundred regiments re-
ceived their mail matter through the
city postot1ice and this force is being in
creased nightly. Most of the military
movements arc made in the night now,
and the newspapers are ominously y silent
as to the changes in position of troops or
other matters pertaining to the army y
Yesterday the New York papers did net
arrive. This morning we learn that
! Government had a hand in their detcn-
tion-thcy were stopped, and all the
packages overhauled, to suppress, that
traitor sheet, the "Ncw York News"
For the past week we have had very
comfortable weather, plenty of rain. But
before that we had a hot spell for three
, weeks. Oh it was hot, 50 hot that the
blood seem to stag onatc-even water
could not run down hill, it had to stop
and evaporate. You may guess p!en:i
GUS showers and cooling breezes were
gratefully received by citizen and sol
dier, in these latitudcs.
The action of your Iowa regiment,
prior to the battle of Wilson's creek, is
pleasant contrast to the action of
Pennsylvania regiment, under similar
circumstances, before the battle of Bull
Run.
There is a great pressure Of business
in the War and Navy Departments here
There is a crowd thronging these De
partments daily. 1t is whispered that
Mr. Cameron willIetire, and Hon Joseph
Holt, Of Kentucky, will assume the du-
ties of Secretary of War.
There have been over four hundred
removals from the Interior Department
already and Sec. Smith will continue the
wedding process.
Secessionists are being looked after
more sharply rot only in camps, but in
city and country. You cannot be too
strict with the rascas. LoRzO.

SOLDIERS RATIONS.
OFFICE tuM. GENERAL SUBSISTENCE
Washington, Aug. 10th, 1861.

Washington, Aug. 10th, ls6k
From the numerous letters which have
been referred to this office, complaining
Of the rant Of fool and the bad quality
Of that furnished by the commissariat to
the volunteers, am led to believe that
brief statement Of the truth may give
satisfaction to the public mind
Before the action of the last Congress,
the ration (used by the army for many
years. furnished to the volunteers, was
as follows:
pound Of pork or bacon, or II pound
OF fresh or salt beef.
Is ounces of bread or flour, or ~ ounces
Of pilot bread, or IT pounds Of corn
Squarts Of beans or peas, or 10 pounds
of rice, l4O ounces of dessicated po-
tatoes, or 50 ounces of dessicated mis-
ed vegetables, to 100 rations.
10 pounds Of coffee to 100 ratons.
- pounds of sugar to 100 rations.
4quarts Of vinegar to 100 rations.
Ia pounds of adamantine candles to 700
ratioDs.
ipounds of soap to 100 rations; and
2quarts Of salt to 100 rations.
This ration has been found, BY lone
experience in the regular army, to be
ample.
Congress- by an act Of the last session.
increased this ration, until it is now ~
follows
pound Of pork or bacon, or II pounds
of fresh or salt beef
% ounces Of bread or flour, or pound
of pilot bread
s quarts Of beans, 10 pounds of rice or
hommony, and 100 pounds Of potatoes
three times a week, or a substitute
therefor to 100 rations
10 pounds Of coffee to 100 ratnns.
IS pounds of sugar to 100 rations.
4 quarts Of vinegar to 100 rations.
! pounds Of adamantine candles to 100
ratlous
pounds Of soap to 100 rations.
: pounds of salt to 100 rations
Extra issues of moasses are OCCASION
ally made.
This ration, if cared for and properly
cooked, is more than can b, eaten, and
this ration tie youernmeat is ready to fur.
nish
The cthod Of procuring it for the
regiments is simple. Each captain Of .
company makes to his colonel a return,
stating the number of men in his COM
pany, and the number of days drawn for,
signed by him. These company returns
are consolidated by the regimental quar-.
termaster, and signed by the colonel
This return is an order on the depot o.
brigade commissary for that quantity Of
stores and it is the duty Of the regi.
mental quartermaster to see that he re-
ceivcs the full amount, and that it is all
of good quality.
When the stores reach the regiment,
it is the duty Of each captain to see that
bis company receives their due as drawn
for by him on his return, and that the
quality is good.
If the regimental quartermaster and
captains attend to their duty the me.
must receive their full allowance as set
forth in the ration above; and not an a.
ticlc but of good quality.
The government has on hand ample
supplies of the very best quality, and IL
des~rous of doing fall Justice to tho vol
unteers If the volunteers do not re-
ccive it, the fault is that of their own
officers.

The Inaugural Address.

On the Fourth of March, in the pres
ence of an immense and enthusiastic assem-
bIage, with the customary ceremonies, the
oath of Office was administered to ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN, and he was inducted
into the office of the Chief Magistrate of
this Nation. We have no space for the
details of the ceremonies of this important
and interesting occasion but everything
was done amidst peace and good order, and
without violence or accident.
We give the Inaugural Address in full,
and we are sure our readers will be graft
fed with its sentiments. 1t meets the mo-
mentous questions fairly and squarely. 1t
repeats the oft-declared purpose of the Re-
publican party not to interfere with the
rights of the Southern states and ack-
nowledges the Constitutional obligation to
return fugitive slaves. The Union "must
and shall be preserved and the 1naugu-
raj takes mild, forbearing, yet firm ground
for the enforcement of the laws. Finally,
Mr.. LINCOLN appeals earnestly for the
Union.
Those who have looked to Mr.. LINCOLN
to humiliate the Republican. party, have
little comfort from the present indications
of his policy. Our faith in him is confirm
ed-that his prudence, sagacity and firm
ness combined, make him the man for the
times.

net has been tremendous. The following
is probably the programme
