IAhe iowa Second In Trouble.
A special to the Chicago Tribune, da-
ted St. Louis. Feb, 10, says:
There is a big excitement this evening
among the I'd Iowa regiment, occasioned
by the issuance of the following extraor-
binary order:
The General Commanding the District
had occasion yesterday to commend the
conduct Of the I'd Iowa regiment. To-
day he is under the painful necessity Of
saying that some miscreants in the regi-
ment have been guilty of an act Of wanton
vandalism in the robbery and destruction
ofthe museum attached to the Mcdowell
College. As this was carefully boarded
up, and strict orders given to sentinels
that no one should be admitted, the dis
grace attaches to the whole regiment
They will march to the place of embarka-
ton, to day, with eolors furled, and with
out music, and copy Of this order will
be sent to the Governor of Iowa.
lSigned, SCHUYLER HAMILTON,
Z, j. I. PRICE. A. A. General.
The facts appear to be that cabinet
containing stuffed birds and specimens
was lately robbed by some unknown per-
sons. A hole large enough for man 8
hand was made through the partition
back Of the cabinet and it could have
been removed by boys attached to school
on the same block as easily as by any OF
the soldiers, The order wns carried out,
and the men went to the leyee without
music and with furled colors. The men
are very indignant that the whole regiment
should be disgraced by a few black sheep.
An effort is to be made to have Gen. Hal
ieck take notice of the matter, and order
an investigation to be made The regi-
ment Is expected to leave for Cairo mo.
mentarily, It has been generally praised
and this unfortunate affair will take the
public Of St. Louis by surprise.
Schuyler Hamilton may be very prop
er man, but his action in this case doe.
not prove it, The attempt to disgrace
whole regiment on account Of the mis-
conduct OF ''some miscfeants,'' probably
very few. and quite possibly not one 0
them members Of the regiment, does no
rebound to his credit. And unless b,
furnishes to Gov. Kirkwood some tangi
BILE evidence that members Of the regi
ment were guilty, We hope Gov. Kirk
wood will give him such scathing as b
will remember to the day of his death.
