Last Saturday night the Gate City
Club, which meets nightly in our Sane
tum, found itself in bad way. The
causes of unhappiness were summed up
feelingly by member as follows: 1.-The
telegraph down, the ferry boats gone, the
Western road broke, no mails from the
east, and the rebels driving piles in the
Mississippi to stop our fleet" On mo-
ton, the Club adjourned till better times.
We intended in our last TO say tina,
Mr.. }. K. Copelin was appointed Sutler to
the 18th regiment, and that would have
been correct.
The brldge two and a half miles
this side Of Ottumwa was not passable by
the cars on Saturday, and mails and pas
sengers were taken on by wagon. Both
thus and the bridge beyond Ottumwa will
be repaired by Monday.
