HARRY OCoNNoR. This distinguished
gentleman, who served as a private in compa-

battle Of Springfield, and escaped unhurt.
We learn from one of his fellow soldiers that
his gun "kicked" furiously every time he
fired it. The rebound would turn him com
plately about face, when he would load up
and fire again. OConnor has proved himself
every inch soldier. We expect him home
soon to receive the congratulations of his
friends.

REGULAR DR1LL.-We urge upon all oul
young men the Importance of being connected
with some organized drill company under a
competent master, where they can familiarize
themselves with the manual of arms. Under
the existing state of affairs no one knows how
soon such knowledge may be of vast benefit
to the possessor. We should follow the ex-
ample Of the secessionists in this matter They
are continually drilling, and some Of them
arc reported to be perfectly familiar with
everything pertaining to the handling Of arms.
AS an exercise there is nothing equals it. Let
us see all the young men of this vicinity i'm
mediately taking steps in this movement.

sides, the matter was explained and there

The POSTAGE STAMPs.-The orders issued
by the Department forbid the recognition of
the old Postage Stamp at the Post Office in
this city, after tomorrow. Let all our readers
exchange the old style stamps in their possess
ion either to-day or Tomorrow
In reply to inquiries from the country We
will state that according to instructions from
the P. o. Department the old envelopes are
good in this State until October 1st, and the
old stamps until October 10Th, except at Of
fees which are supplied with the new prior
to those dates. Muscatine is one of the few
5ffices in the State which has been supplied
new issues of envelopes and stamps-the for
mer being now valucless at this Office, and
the latter becoming so after tomorrow.
As many persons have inquired of us the
reason for this change, we deem it proper to
state that it is done to prevent the rebel States
from specializing in stamps, as vast amounts
were boarded up in those States just before
postal communication was discontinued For
similar reason the Department is about to
introduce new system of locks and keys.

so many of our young men are enlisting in

services will soon be needed as teachers in our
public schools throughout the West. And let
us whisper.in your ear that the schools and
colleges of our country constitute really the
'true standing army" of free people. And
in this army ladies as well as gentlemen can

Two BROTHERS IN OPPOSING ARMIES
Charles Deming, member of company A, in
the LIST Iowa regiment, fought at the battle Of
Springfield against his own brother, H. j.
Deming, who was with the rebel army. The
latter will be remembered by many of our Cit
:zens as partner of the firm of Deming, Smith
& Co., in the stove trade in this place some
years ago. He removed to St. Joseph, where
he enlisted under the C. S. A. banner. W.
understand that the brothers did not see each
other, but that Charles Deming learned of hi:
brothers presence through rebel prisoners.

EXCURSION Down THE RIVER AND SINKING
OF THE G. II. WnsoN-Sunday afternoon the
steamer G.. H. Wilson took down a large
number of people to meet the boys of compa-
MES A and g. The boat ran down as far as
New Boston at about 10 o'clock P NJ Here
the party waited patiently till about II o'clock,
when the ng-looked for boat, the Metropoli-
tan, hove in sight. In the meantime the
crowd on the Wilson amused themselves in
various ways. When the boat got opposite
they fired the cannon, blew the whistle,
rang the bells, &C., and ran out and lashed to
her, and in less time than it takes to tell it,
the boys were shaking hands and congratu-
lating each other Such scene as occurred
in the cabin was seldom witnessed. Our boys
from the boat and the returning volunteers
were minglng together and the whole cabin
was in an uproar The two boats had gone
up some ways when the Wilson let CO. She
kept up pretty we'll for some time, but it was
found that she was in a sinking condition.
She was run ashore and the Metropolitan
took off the passengers. The Wilson sunk to
her guards in four feet water. The cause of
her sinking was that she had been laying out
of the water so long that seams had opened in
her hulk. She belongs to Spring & Blair of
this city, who had her raised and brought up
to the landing Tuesday.

500 TROOPS FROM CAMP McCLELLAN.-Yes-
terday afternoon, the steamer Jennie Whipple
arrived from Davenport with 500 troops which
had been ordered suddenly from Camp Nc
'Clellan to reinforce Col. Moore, who is threat
'ened by the secessionists of Northeastern
Missouri. The companies composing this
body of men are Capt Bells of Washington,
Capt. Clevelands of Davenport, one company
from Clinton county, one from Benton and ono
from Knoxville, Marion county. They ex-
pect to return in few days, but we think il
will be found expedient to keep them nearer
the Missouri border.
The above troops, being all the available
force of the 9th regiment, are under command
If Col. Hoffman, of Davenport. They wer
accompanied down the river by Gov. Kirk
