| am telling you this incident because
Isaw some gentlemen Of the party make
notes of the scene in their memorandum
books, and it probably will appear in print
somewhere else, and as | stood next TO
the said imperturbable boy and heard the
conversation, looked upon myself rs a
perfectly reliable reporter. You may
rest assured that the above is no "sensa-

We left few sick at the hospital at

them. / am sorry to report that one of
the sick thus eft behind has since died
from typhoid fever. His name is Amos
Winslow, from Scotch Grove, in Jones
county, and he belonged to Capt Harp

Captain A sWOfth.

GF" The company commanded by this
excellent gentleman, in which some ti(
teen or twenty of our citizens are enlist
ed, has gone into quarters at Camp I'm
ion, Dubuque. The employees of the
Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad, old
associates OF the Captain, intend making
him present ofa fine sword, which they
are now, we believe, having prepared.
The Captain is certainly one of the best
of men, and has already secured the
greatest love Of his Go. A finer gen
,leman, or more capable officer, has not
left the State than Capt. AINswoRrH. He
has - c ompany of men worthy of
himself. The Company is not yet full,
however, and we believe that we shall be
doing a kindness to any of our citizens,
desiring to enter an infantry company,
in advising them to enlist under Capt.
AINswoRTn.
Before leaving Manchester, however,
the boys got into little difficulty,
through Indignation at the meanness of
one of the citizens of that place. The
night before they were to leave. and
while the citizens were giving them o
kind ovation, the boys wanted some
speaking, and went TO A. r. LOOMS to
procure a packing box for the orator to
stand upon. LOOMS told them with an
oath that they should not have it. This
incensed the boys, and they took it. and
afterwards treated LOOMS TO few fresh
eggs. They apologized afterwards, how
ever, and offered to pay damages, but
LOOMS was memorable, and swore out
warrants against number of them. The
boys finally LEFT for Dycrsvile about 2
O'Clock in the morning, thus depriving
their friends, hundreds OF whom came to
see them off, of the pleasure of leave-ta
king. LOOMS sent Deputy Sheriff Rob-
ERTsoN after them, on The train, who,
however, agreed that If the boys would
20 back to Manchester and start proper
", that no arrests should be made To
this they agreed and back to Manches
ter they came, while every one was loud
in denuncial;on of Looms meanness.
We presume they started on Thursday
without difficulty. We saw them ut the
station, and finer and more gentleman
~ boxing lot of fellows we have not seen
since the war began. BY universal tes-
timony they had conducted themselves
with the greatest propriety previous to
the above occurrence, and they were full
ly exonerated by the people Tor lhat. Ii
was a source Of modification, however,
to Capt. AINswoRTH, that the difficulty
occurred. LOOMS deserves to be pass
ed around
