First, as the quickest Of execution

FROM THE 10TH IOWA.
CAMP NEAR ROLLA, !
September Is, 1869. {


EDITOR GATE Cry The 10th Iowa
left Benton Barracks on Thursday last,
with orders TO report to Gen. Heron, at
Rolla. We took up our line of march at
about o'clock A. NJ, during a slight
shower, which increased enough to make
us all soaking wet by the time We arrived
at the Pacific Railroad Depot, where we
remained till ls O'Clock, when the cars
started for Rolla. We arrived there Mt
Ii o'clock P, NJ, and Immediately pitched
our tents as well as circumstances would
permit. In the morning the Goth Wis
consin generously invited us to breakfast
with them, which, of course, we gladly
accepted. Long may they wave.
Rola IL quite place. Business seems
very brisk, and still improving The
houses are built in every shape, and of all
kinds of material, and little care has been
taken to align them. Fort Wemer is sit
uated about half mile south west of the
town, and affords ample protection. There
are some leo soldiers OF The Cd Missouri
confined in the Fort. They were sworn
into the State service only, and when or
dered to cross the Arkansas line they re-
fused to 60, whereupon they were put nm
der arrest for some time, and afterwards
to repairing bridges on the Railroads.
Some 60 days ago they concluded not to
work any longer they were arrested and
put in the Fort, and are kept on bread
and water.
Quite a number of " Butternuts /" are
doing duty with picks and shoyes, and
few arc ornamented with bali and chain
a gang OF Il are working on the Fort,
the Captain Of whom is ordered to be
shot IN few days, for violating his parole
he was taken prisoner by Union troops,
took the oath. and before the elapse of
four days he organized a company who
caught and hung four German soldiers.
Water being very scarce in Rolla, the
18TH regiment was ordered to move some
miles north-we of that place, and we
are now encamped on small farm adioin-
ing creek, which affords excellent oppor.
tunlties for washing. Several good springs
are also in the vicinity. A few more
regiments are encamped above and below
US one is the 94th Illinois, and others
Will arrive soon. These several regime It's
are to form Brigade. The 3oth Iowa is
also expected here on Tuesday, and will
probably be attached to the Brigade.
On the evening before we left Benton
Barracks, the flag presented to Go. A, by
several ladies of keokuk, was delivered to
the company After the usual ceremo-
n'es' which were ordered to be published
IN the "Gate,' our worthy Captain made
few well-timed and touching remarks on
the work before US. He also paid . lust
tribute to the patriotism Of the ladies' of
keokuk, and Lee county, and closed With
three cheers for the flag, and the ladies
that gave it.
We left few sick in the Hospital at
st. Louis, Aside from those the health
OF the men is very good.
The Brigade will probably move the

Feeding Rebels In New Orleans.
Special to Tribune.

Washington. Sept. a.
New Orleans is an expensive luxury.
The government is paying more than
$50, 900 month--considerably more
than the army of occupation cos.s--to
feed the starving rebels whom Mai. Gen.
Lowell and jeff Davis have left upon our
hands or scnd in, from day to day from
beyond our lines to be fed. The approach
of winter renders it serious question
whether the national government is call
ed on to support men who refuse to take
the oath of allegiance. Gen. Butler has
already organized one colored regiment,
the darkest of the members of which he
is reported to have said is about the
color of the late Daniel Webster" This
step has probably stimulated the Hon.
Reyerdy Johnson md others, who desire
Gen. Butler to be superseded, to renew
ed exertions, and it is said they are not
without hopes OF success in their enter
prise.

battle lasted till o'clock this afternoon,

IHerald's Correspondence

Washington, Sept H..
At o. clock this afternoon. Intelligence
! was received, that since $50 this morn
ing, the fiercest and most sanguinarv bat
tie of the war has been il progress. All
the corps DC ormee which Mcclellan had
taken with him to Frederick, were mass
ed at the point Indicated, and the engage.
| ment is believed to have been between
the whole of the two armies. There is
reason to suppose the losses on each side
very great, as acquisitions for medical
stores and arrangements for wounded
men, to be sent to Rohersville immedi-
ately, are larger than have ever been made
at any time.
Information has been received, that
Mcclellan destroyed the aqueduct at the
mouth Of Antictam Greek, and the bridge
across that creek on the road leading to
Sharpsburgh-thus cutting off the retreat
of the rebels in the direction of Shep-
ardstown.
Later reports from Hagerstown state
that this afternoon the rebels were retreat
ing in great disorder and subsequently
heavy and rapid firing was heard in the
direction OF Williamsport, which induces
the belief that Mcclellan has pursued the
retreating rebels to that poiut--trat they
made a stand there to eo.er their passage
across the Potomac.
Reconnaissance made by Col. Davies
Cavalry, who made dashing foray tow
ards Hanover Junction from Frederics-
burgh, and now under command of Heint-
zelman, show that since Friday last, the
rebels have evacuated Leesburg, and that
q force of 10000 men, with 80 pieces OF
artillery, and supply train two miles in
length, has gone In the direction Of Har-
per's Ferry.

TINES DISPATCH.

WAsHINGToN, May 20-The subject OF
lake defence and lake commerce was very
forcibly and fully presented this morning at
a meeting of the New York delegation in
Congress, by The Hon. Samuel b. Ruggles,
who appeared in behalf the State. The
principal topics discussed were the present
nndefended condition of the lakes, and the
great extent and the rapid growth of
the commerce on their waters. Also
the vital Importance of the cereal pro-
ducts of the States surrounding the lakes in
furnishing the elements of foreign COM
merce, and consequently in swelling the
amount of duties on imports to be received
in exchange.
The two cardinal measures growing out
of these discussions, and which must occupy
the attention ct Congress, will be the open
ing of adequate channels from the eastern
AID western extremiIies of The lakes, first
to be effected by enlarging the locks on the
Erie & Oswego Canal, and by enlarging the
canal from Chicago to the Illinois River
| is hoped that these two great measures
viii unite the integral portions of our bar
m"nious system, extending from the Hud
sou and the Mississippi, permitting the pas
sage throughout the line Of mail clad YES
scls sufficient for the defence CT these great
waters.

which it would be improper to State II ap :

letter and was ably.ard cherfully sustaine
by all under his command.
On our forces occupying Pensacola, the
Mayor promised that the citizens would be-
have themselves peacefully The rebels had
evacuated the place on hearing that our
steamers the day before were Goirg TO run
into the Mobile Bay and thar the squadron
and mortar boats would soon follow Com.
Porter left Ship Island on the 9TH, with
the steamer belonging to the MoIlan feet
and the Sachem for Mobile Bar, for the pur-
pose of fixing place for The mortar vesse's
TO be and TO plant bucys for the ships to run
in by when they should arrive. Great ex-
element SEEMED TO exist within the forts al

reasons to believe that Fort Gains was
evacuated and that the troops there were
leaving to reinforce Fort Morgan.
