THE WAR MEETING LAST N1GuT.-A ire
mendous crowd assembled at the corner OF
Second street and Iowa avenue Monday evening
to listen to our eloquent fellow townsman,
Henry O'Connor, Esq. Mr.. O'Connor' did
full justice to the reputation he has long en-
joyed as being one of the best speakers in
Iowa, and the frequent and vociferous cheer
ing gave ample evidence Of the appreciation
by the audience both of the address and the
great cause he advocated. The speaker made
but little bones over his honest senti-
ments and handled the "Constitution-
as-it-is-and- the Union-as-it-was" men without
gloves. He said no man, no matter how
intense an abolitionist, had any fault to find
with the Constitution as it is interpreted by
those who made it. But the Union as it was
Floyd in the Cabinet, Davis, Breckenridge
and Toombs in the Senate (and he might
have added Buchanan at the head) was no
the Union that could be wished for at the ter
mination of the war.
Immediately after the speaking Capt. Hill
opened his rolls and in the course OF few
minutes enlisted eight or ten men.

ENL1srMENrs.-All the talk on our streets
now is who's going to war. Recruiting IS
progressing finely, but more men are needed
and it is doubtless useless for us to inform
our readers again that they must and will be
had Those who think that drafting will not
be resorted to to fill up the five regiments
called for are mistaken, for it most certainly
will, unless they are filled by voluntary en-
listments. Gov. Kirkwood is not the man to
allow a Presidential order for troops to 60 by
without being met.

q total Of 13, ,G3 killed, wounded and miss
inc, as follows killed, 1875; wounded,
1889: missing, (prisoners} 1856. This to-
Isl singularly agrees with the first rough
estimate Of . loss Of from II 600 10 Ia; ;ooe.'
Subsequently, it was undertaken to write
down our loss, and some authorities {ofh-
cial or othcrwise) got it as low Us
$500. 1t was also estimated al
first that the rebels had lost
from 10000 to $4,000. They, TOO, have
since undertaken to write it down, and the
Memphis papers nov put ii at 1000. Bu1
.al accounts agree that the rebel Allet
and wounded sircwed tho grounc

Of Federal loss holds good we must be

be by the railroad. This accomplished, the
entire force WIS thrown across the country
about a mile and put on the road leading from
Stevenson to Bridgeport.
The middle column now advanced at . rap

enemy and forced them from the Bridgeport
