outrage on the 1lss Regiment.

The 2lst regiment, Col. Merrill com.
handing confessedly the best regiment
which has ever left this state-broke camp
on Tuesday Of last week, and started for
Rolla, Mo-, via st. Louis. A heavy rain
prevailed during all Of their long march from
the camp to the levce. Arriving there all
soaked with rain, what was their surprise
and indignation to learn that they had got
to stow themselves upon two barges in tow
Of the Henry Clay, unsheltered, without
room to sit or lie down, or accommodations
for either posture. A gentleman who met
the boat during her first night out, says in
the midst Of the storm these men, the
choicest and bravcst fellows of northern
lowa-three companies of which were from
this county-werc COUGHING together in
vain attempts to keep warm and dry, while
the rain was pouring down in torrents up
on them. &f7Es."F IS 90
Think Of it. Cattle, SLEEP, and hogs are
provided better accomdations than that
Groceries, dry goods, and hardware, are not
allowed to be transported in condition of
exposure to the elements. And yet trans.
portation which would not be considered
decent for stock, or for merchandise, was
provided for the gallant sons of northern
Iowa, who have left home, comfort, dear
friends all to serve their country in this
hour Of their country's peril
We are informed that there were two or
three other steamboats, lying at the levce at
Dubuque, which might have been used as
well as not.
Perhaps Col. Merrill is not to blame in
this matter, but we know if we had been
Colonel Of that gallant regiment, at the risk
of being cashiercd We would not have NOV
ed it without decent accommodations for
every man. --,..... a..
The Henry Clay was not halflarge enough
to have CARRIED that regiment, nevertheless
the government will have to pay as much
per head for the transportation of these
men rs if they had been comfortably carried
on three steamboats,.
Upon this matter the Dubuque Times
comments as follows:
eve sincerely hope no Colonel from this
part OF the country will ever allow his re-
giment to leave our shores upon such mis-
cradle crampcd up old tub as that which
took the 2lst. The poor boys upon the
Henry Clay did not have even as comfor-
table accommodations as the horses upon
the boiler deck. Absolutely there was not
room enough on the boat to shelter them
all from the storm We do not know ex-
actly who was to blame in this case, but
this much is certain great profit is made
by Railroad and Steamboat Companies in
transporting troops enough in fact to af.
ford good, decent and comfortable boats
Three such boats as the Henry Clay would
be small enough for regiment Of men,
Great indignation is felt by many of our
citizens on account Of this outrage upon
the 2lst."

stage coach, or hack, was drawn from this
landing that merits notice. 1t was built
at Concord, N. H., for d. Caswell and w.
Hays, of Leroy, contractors for carrying
the mail from Deco,ah to Usage, Iowa; its
cost delivered at McGregor was $3.50, its
weight 1900 pounds. The coach is done
up in the best style Of wood and iron work
elegantly painted, nicely cushioned, and in
every way it is creditable to the makers and
the purchasers. Messrs. Caswell & Hay s
are entitled to high commentator for this
evidence of an intention to take good care
Of the mails and to provide a comfortable
conveyance for passengers. They receive
only one $1,000 for the contract.
