Treason I'm Iowa.

Nonser Sc the thing is impossible and any re.
ports to the contrary are absurd A miserable
creature here and there, too cowardly to risk
anything for country, and so prcjudiced as to be
impervious to truth, does not amount to treason.
1t should be remembered that there is nothing
SO good and pure, but is corrupted by some evil.
Such creatures should not cause an honest ci.i-
zen thought, much more an expression of in.
dignatio The only fit treatment for such is
not disc sion, newspaper notice or anything
else that Ill tickle their vanity and help them to
publicity, but a good shake beginning at the
coat collir, and ending at the toes, with almost
force enough to jerk the nails off, and summary
election from the cOmpanionship Of men.

We trust she will treat the volunteers well. We
see from the Gate City that no reception was
given the three companies from Davenport and
Dubuque, and that they lad to stand in the
streets from five in the morning till eight before
they could be attended to-the excuse was their
early arrival. The same could not be said OF
the companies that went from this city. They
arrived in the afternoon at Keokuk, and yet the
same complaints of inattention have been made.
This ought not to be. We parted with them
reluctantly, and shall be jealous of their comfort
and honor
