Muse TINE, IOWA FRIDAY SEPTEMBER s. 1862

We know your friends are dear to you and
that you are 10th to part with them. But we,
too, have friends-"loved ones at home''-
whose hearts throb as fondly and tenderly for
us as yours does for your friends, friends
whose prayers continually echo around God s
great throne, imploring that we may return
safe; but we mus have help or we perish
Then let your friends go; encourage them to
go; and we can wind up this great rebellion
so thoroughly within the next six months that
it will never again enter into the heart of man
to rebel against the authority of as good
Government as we live under-a country of
which Howell Cobb, before his heart became
seasoned with rebellion, said, in 1851, in his
inaugural address to the people of Georgia
Ambition seeks no higher and nobler object
than the transmission to posterity of this in
estimable legacy: Aunion of sovereign States,
by a Constitution dispensing equal
ity and justice to all it's members-a Consti-
tuition conceived by the wisdom of the great
and good men of Revolutionary memory,-a
Union whose flag floats on every sea, is known
in every land, and is regarded throughout the
world as the emblem of Constitutional free
lom" For that Union forever

on hand, either in material or means, will, if
properly directed, form an adequate amount
for the use Of our friends and cause their

OF the soldier, and the diseases incident to ap.I

swThe result of the Illinois enlistments
is stated, in general order issued by Gov.
Yates on the 23d. On the 18th Of July nine
regiments were called for, and their organiza
tons Immediately commenced. On the 9Th
inst. the Secretary of War announced the to-
tai quota under both calls, after crediting the
State with what she had heretofore furnished
in excess of her proportion, to be $500.
This number was to be filled by the 9Th inst.
On the 10th 10000 were enrolled. On the
14th the Secretary of War announced that
"a, 719 men in addit on would be required to
fill the old regiments. An extension ofseven
days having been granted, upward of $4,000
more have been added. making on the 22d a
grand total of at least $4,000 volunteers in
thirty EIGHT days. There now only remains
fraction of the quota for the old regiments.
If the deficiency is not supplied by the 1st a
draft may be required.

Hrs PLACE IS WITH HIS PApER.-Mr.
Rich, Editor of the Buchanan county
Guardian, made a proposition not long since
to certain Democrats up North to 60 to war.
His proposition was not accepted. In the
meantime, hundred citizens of the Town
ship in which Mr. Rich resides, sent to him
the appended communication, in which they
established the fact that the proper place for
Mr. Rich is with his paper. His place can be
supplied in the army; it car not in the chair
editorial in Buchanan county:
To Rich, Editor of Buc hanau County Guardian
DEAR SIR Learning that the patriotic
and manly proposition made by you to j. b.
THOMAS and O.H.P. .RoszELL has not been ac-
cepted, and learning also that Independently
of that proposition, you contemplate the aban-
donment of your present position as editor oi
the Qua dam, we earnestly desire you to re-
consider your purpose We believe the con-
tinued publication of the Guardian in this
county to be all-important, ,as well for the pros
perity and. good of our citizens at home, as
for the brave and loyal souls who have taken
up arms for the preservation of our govern
ment and our liberties now menaced ard i'm
periled by traitors in rebellion. Ne neee
| the G1urdGtn here as an exponent of Repub
lican loyalty, as the vigo, Gus defender of the
war measures of the administration, as th'
friend and organ of our chivalrous volunteers
as the supporter of the principles of freedom
in our country, in Judicial and in our Con
gressional Districts. and as the uncompromis
| ing opponent of rebellion, treason, secession
and slavery in all their various disguises AM
forms. The discontinuance of the paper
would be public calamity for our county,
and we hope you will not leave press we s
much need. "Peace has her victories as we
as war" and there must be those who shov
their devotion to their country at home a
well as in "the tented field.' Pardon us
therefore, if we respectfully remind you thai
in our opinion, your duty, at present, lies il
remaining at the laborious, responsible, an
too often thankless post of conducting an
publishing. the paper you have so abl
and efficiently edited. We sincerely an
strongly urge you to do so.

We have at last cornered the Democrat,
candidate for Congress. He and his 60
C-s" of correspondent have been extreme
ly anxious that the editor-in-chef of the Jour
nal should volunteer. Our assistant and ter

the ranks of our brave volunteers, while the
Courier had only furnished one recruit, who
turned out to be a pinch-beck article, that
''rua an rashing" But this did not satisfy
the Courier. The Pos, Office aad Journal

for commendable desire to encourage enlist
ments and strengthen the hands of the PreS
dent We did not wish to be out-done by the
Courifr; so we offered to enlist, give up the
Post Office and Journal to the widows" and
'old folks at home" if the Judge 'oouA enlist
rith as.
There was fine prospect for tco more
volunteers, and probably the whole force of
the Courier would follow. The town breathed
freer. draft would be avoided. Captains
Fry and Patten had all the trouble of enroll
ing their companies for nothing. DR.. Hershe
for twelve hours was not troubled by the army
of ''exempts." Lieut.. White saw in fancy
the thinned ranks of 'the bloody Seventh" ;"
''the bully Eleventh, and the gallant Sec
ond," filled to the maximum number
But all these hopes were dashed, yesterday
morning, by the Courier, and the town put on
broad grin when they read the full length
excuses of the Judge and found that it was
not patriotism that actuated him, but the
"stomach TOOTH that troubled him. His
anxiety was not to fill our depleted regiments,
but to stop the issue Of the Jour al and va
cate the Post Office, for the crippled. He
knows full well he will be sent to the hospital
the second Tuesday of October.
The Courier badgered us to enlist. We
promised to do so, if the editor of the Courier !
would volunteer with us and share in COM
mon with us the dangers and tolls of 4 sold
ier's life and sacrifice of business. He de-
clines through whole column, because we
made the offer "to Kill eff our adoersary,"
the Courier.
We have 3;nmosked his mock patriotism
and here we will drop the subject.

Gen. Rosecrans left Corinth on the 21st, with
some $4,000 to 40, 900 men, in the direction
of Linetown, where there are some $4,000
rebels under Armstrong. Sterling Price is at
Tupelo with $4,000 men, and it is considered
probable that he will unite with Armstrong
and give Rosecrans battle.
