Three thousand full suits or uni
forms, including shirts, drawers. shoes
caps and stockings, have reached Ke-
okuk and are ready for our brave
boys. The contract for these outfits
was taken by Hon. Samuel Merrill, of
Clayton county, Iowa, and every thing
supplied we understand gives entire
satisfaction to the Governor and par
ties who arc judges in these matters
The whole outfit is equal to the best
furnished by the States or by the gen
eral Government Mr.. Merrill had
the whole prepared in thirty days
from the time Of the contract, and de-
livered in kcokuk. The uniforms
were made in observation-disclosures Times.
We arc told that the State pays Mr..
Merrill $2l per man on this contract,
and he succeeded in getting it fill
led for $3.50 per man. Probably the
tax payers would have been as well
pleased had the remaining $3.50
gone to benefit the soldier instead of
the contractor.

The Comet.

The blazing star" visible in the
northwest from lusk till midnight,
and which has so suddenly made it's
appearance to us, is quite a puzzle to
the star-gazers. Some claim that it
is the celebrated comet which was
first noticed in 1864, and again in
1855, on which latter occasion Empe-
ror Charles, of Germany, was SO
frightened that he abdicated his
throne. Thomas Bassnett, of Ottawa,
ILL.,, writes as follows to the Chicago
Journal concerning this strange visi-
itor:
Last night (June Soth,) after seve-
raj cloudy evenings, the great comet
of 1864 and 1858 suddenly presented
itself shorn of none of its ancient
splcndor. Its tail is almost straight,
yet, If anything, convex to the west,
and full ninety degrees long, terminal
ing little south of the bright star
Lyra, and passing over it, The comet
is within two or three days of its peri
hclion passage, and will pursue
track eastward, favorably for exhibit
ing its magnificent proportions for two
months to come. 1t will probably not
attain its full size and briIliancy until
about the first Of August.
If Mr.. Bassnett is correct in pro-
nouncing this the comet of 1864 and
1856, it is the fifth, we believe, whose
periodic return has been verified by
observation. The interval between
it's first and second recorded appear
anccs is 292 years, and between its
second and third 9O5 years The
perihelion distance of this comet had
diminished an eighth between its first
appearance in 1864 and its second in
1856, causing great elongation in
its orbit, and Indicating probable
lengthening of its "circuit," by seve-
raj hundred millions of miles, which
is now shown to be equal to thirteen
years in its revolution around the sun.
Astronomers have predicted its return
within the years 1856 and 1861.

ron TUE LANCASTER LEDGER

mr.. t-oiroR.-ln late issue of the LED
GER there was an appeal to the Ladies' in
behalf OF the Lancaster InvncibIes," in
which their claims upon our beneyoience
were set forth. No doubt many heart re-.
sponded to that call, and only wished for
an opportunity to show their appreciation
OF and sympathy for, that noble baud OF
men, in whose praise enough cannot be said
and Tor whose comfort too much cannot be
done.
Believing that there are many persons in
the Village md country, who are not insen.
sIble to the claims and merits Of the .In.
'incibles," and who are dc,irous Of con.
tributing something for the comfort of those
who have sacrificed so much for Us. hov.
assumed tho responsibility Of soliciting aid,
and receiving contributions for their benefit,
pledging myself that as soon rs n sufficient
amount is received and prepared, it have
the articles Immediately forwarded TO the
Company, and their receipt of the same nc.
knowledged through the LEDGER.
Those who are desirous of assisting in
this matter will please send in thei, so,tri.
outions rs soon as possible, rs it is very de.
sirao'e that those tor whom they are de-
signed should receive them before cold
weather. 1t is well known that the great.
er portion Of Capt McManus' men have
been sick and will be greatly in need Of
warm clothing to protect them from the
cold OF the fast approaching winter.
The articles most needed are, flannel
shirts, drawers, woolIen socks aud blankets.
l have already received from Mr. John Ross,
OF Pleasant Valley, IL heavy blankets and
40 pair Of woolen socks, for the benefit of
the "lnviucibles." A few more such liberal
donauocs and our brave men will be pre.
pared for cold SHOWS and chilling blasts.
Some Of The ladies' in The Village have
promised to assist in making up The cloth
ing. All contributions will please b.. sent
TO the residence Of SIR. p. +. Hammond.
will give my receipt to the dsnor for every
article sent. Every donation, bo xeyer s.aa Il,
will be most thankfully received.
Surely it is unnecessary to urge upon
any one the necessity aud importance Of
this matter. Hitherto the claims Of the
"invineibles' have been entirely overlooked
in this District, but we hope Il may no lon.
ger be said that Lancaster has been neg i.
gent Of ner noble sons.

The Invaders at Cape Hatteraa.

The latest reports from Eastern North Car.
olina, state that no forward movement had
been made by the Yankee invaders In the di.
rection Of the main land. There are supposed
obe about three thousand Yankee troops at
Cape Hatteras and the vicinity. They are busy
mounting heavy siege guns and otherwise per-
fccting the defences Of the position. Il Is
thought here that they cannot, for the present,
be dislodged.
The enemies Official reports Of the engage
ment state that the forts surrendered, and s.ip-
ulation was made that the officers and men
shall receive the treatment due prisoners Of

This advertisement indicated a desire that the

did strike me that when the proof of my asscr.
tons were before the public, that the public
were perfectly competent to decide the Qucs-

we'd or not. But it seems Mr. Mublcv takes
a different view, and undertakes to instruct the
public what to think, aud also makes this the
occasion OF venting his alignity on me. This
is no reply to my card, and only notice it to
call attention to its character, nS il is well
known that will not engage in Il controversy
OF like character Especially when the real au-
thor Of the article is not known to the public)
have succeeded perfectly in arrcstimg public
opinion until the public could inquire into the
merits OF the case, and thus was all | desired to

to investigate the case, clearly proves the in
