War Feeling In Northern Iowa.

We have just come in from trip
through the valley of the Cedar and
Sbellrock, and find the people every.
where most intensely excited on the
war question. Mitchell county, will,
we believe, be able to raise her quo.
ia for both calls in ten days. Mason
City, and Clear Lake alone will, if it
is necessary, furnish all the men ne
ccssary for Cerro Gordo County. AL
most every able bodied man in that
county is determined to have a hand
in. Hon. A. H. Miller, register of the
Land Office, is at Mason City, stirring
up the patriotic element.
There was a great war meeting at
Marble Rock, Floyd County, on the
9th, and several persons enlisted on
the occasion. All over Floyd county
the war fever is intensifying. Enlist
ments are progressing rapidly, at
GAINESVILLE, Shellrock, and New Hart
ford, Butler county. At the last place
about fifty men have enrolled their
names. Among them is Judge Con-
verse, late member of the General
Assembly.
More than three hundred men have
enlisted in Blackhawk County during
the past week. The best men in Ce-
dar Falls are among the new recruits.
A company was started there last
Wednesday, and filled in three days !;
and now a company of adopted citi-
Zcns has been started. The newly
filled company at Cedar Falls, will be
the crack company of some regiment,
and it would be an honor to be pri-
vate in it, More than hundred men
have lately been enrolled at Waterloo.
la Porte, Lester and other points, are
aIf ablaze with patriotic fire. OLD
Black Hawk will do her duty in this
crisis.
AS we came in yesterday on the
cars, we heard that the enlistment
rolls were filling up rapidly in Blu
chanan and Delaware counties. AT
Strawberry Point. in Clayton county,
about fifty men have inst enlisted.

He'll DO 1--WE find the following
significant item in one of our Ohio ex-
changes Governor Kirkwood of Iowa.
formerly of Mansfield, made a speech
at his old home last week, and is re-
ported by the Mansfield Herald to
have said "that he was going back
to help raise his quota of the new
levy, and that he had in his pocket an
order from Secretary Stanton empow-
erIng him TO arrest every scoundrel

couraged enlistments, and so help him
God he would obey his instructions
to the letter."

Another Battle.

A great battle is in progress in Nir-
ginia. A severe action was had on
the 9th inst. between the forces of
Jackson and Banks, on the Rapid Ann
river, six miles from Culpepper Court
House. Banks met more than twice
his numbers and held them at bay
from first to last. The fight began in
the morning and was continued by
moonlight till two o'clock at night.
The rebels were reinforced to 10000.
Banks was finally reinforced by Pope,
Mcdowell and Sigel. Both armies
were too much exhausted to renew
the fight next day, but they could not
long avoid renewal of the action.
The loss in killed and wounded on
each side was nearly 5000. Culpcp-
per is one vast hospital. An eye wit
ness says:
81 have witnessed many battles
during this war, but none where the
tenacious obstinacy of the American
character was so fully displayed. Our
troops fought like veterans"
1t is believed that fighting is going
on in other places in Virginia, of which
we have no particulars. A Washing
ton despatch says
Gov. Sprague was routed this
morning at daylight 10y special mes
senger and started instantly for Burn
sides army. 1t has been believed for
some time that Burnside and Pope
were in some way to cooperate in
present movements. 1t is considered
certain that there was heavy fighting
at Gordonsvillc on Saturday, perhaps
to-day"
