RIB8L DRRss PARADR.-A correspondents Of
the New York Times, who vent to Leesburg
with Gag Of truce, few days since, gives the
following aocount Of dress parade which he
witnessed:
About twenty rode frsm the town-house,
there was 4 Nisnssippi regiment, commanded,
believe, by Col. A. H. Brown, formerly Of the
Jackson Democrat. To view its 'dtess parade
the party were invited and gladly accepting the
invitation, went to the camp ground. The tents,
most Of which seemed new, were conical, like
the Sibley tent, but much smaller. The camp
was very neat, and the grounds exceedingly
clean. It was evident it had been used for it's
present purpose long time, as the parade and
street grounds were very hard and smooth
From the pole in front of the colonels tent
hung the 'secesh rag, and similar smaller ones
were seen in different parts of the encampment
The line being formed, the band, which played
exceedingly we'll, saluted, a. usual with us, and
the customary manual was put through. The
officers we're all Americans; all wore long boards
and moustaches, and all dressed we'll The men,
however, were for the most part Irish, with here
and there German They are rough looking
set; their hats are Of all kinds their coats are
faded, and their trowsers seemed sort of a
cross between Turkish bag.pant and regula-
ton suit. The buttons on the officers colts
were tine United States pattern, but those on the
uniforms Of the enlisted men were to great
extent plain brass The guns looked like the
Springfield pattern of 1850 altered, and think
they we're. The swords were mostly such as are
worn BY non-commissioned officers in our army,
and not at all such as have been taken hereto
fore from confederate prisoners. The most
noticeable feature was the poory-clad feet Of
the men. At least twenty of them had no shoes
ct all, and very many Of them wore holey ones,
while others had on top boots large enough for
s division general. The regiment had nine
companies on parade, numbering about 72O men,
to which could probably be added another com.
pany Of 80, which was on picQ.et duty along the
river, as the men performing that duty were uni
formed like those oa parade. After the parade
was fnished-a parade which would have done
no discredit to some Of the best in our army
the band marched slowly towards the headquar-
ters Of the poet, aud there remained for at least
half an hour, play ing continually, greatly to the
enjoyment Of the crowd of citizens and negroes,
who gathered in the adjacent equare.

DIVORCE II 1owA.-One of the subjects that
should engage the attention and receive the con.
sideration Of tie General Assembly of Iowa at
Its approaching session, IL that of Divorce II
70 an outrage upon the marriage contract t:at a
lecheross fellow can leave his vie in another
State and be divorced from here withou. having
acquired residence in this State, or being
brought within its Jurisdiction in any way
1here have been several cases Of this kind in
Dubuque alone, and there have been many 9th
err, doubtless, throughout the State. lows
should not be converted into retreat for these
scoundrels Who abandon their wives in other
States for the purpose of marrying other wives
here, and il is reproach AMI disgrace to this
State that It gives countensnce and encourage
ment BY Law to such shameful conduct.
Divorce ought not to be given on slight caus-
Is under any circumstances, much less should
the courts be permitted to grant divorce be-
tween parties In cases where one of them may
not b q resident of the State
Both parties to the action should be citizens
Of the State at least before its courts should be
permitted to dissolve or annul the marriage con-
tract between them.
We commend this matter to the serious con.
eideration Of the General Assembly, with the
hope that they will not permit this State to be
much longer disgraced BY giving runaway hus-
bands an asylum, and the legal means to aban-
don and become separated forever from their
lawful wivea Dubuque Herald.
