Goshen the Banner Township.
A Republican meeting in this Township
was held at Atalissa, on Thursday evening,
Oct. End 1862, according, to notice. D. G..
Barkalow, Esq, was called to the chair.
The audience listened to enthusiastic speech
es from 2. Washburn and John w. Jayne
Esqrs., discussing the issues Of the day, and
advocating vigorous war policy, and the
necessity of giving the national Administra-
ton an unwavering support in this hour of
its severest trial, to maintsln the best, the
freest, the greatest and heretofore most happy
government ever instituted among men, and
in crushing out utterly and forever, the most
uncalled for and accursed Rebellion the world
has ever seen.
After the conclusion, the utmost harmony
prevailing, the following Resolution was unan-
imously adopted
Resolved, That we heartily approve Of the
late emancipation proclamation of the Presi-
dent Of the United States and yield our will
ing, and unreserved support.

mentary mention in Gen. Rosencrans. report
of the battle of Iuka Ii the same report is
some pretty severe censure on the 18th Iowa
regiment for their shameful flight from the
battle field. Why is it that the hitherto fair
name Of our state and Of as gallant AID brave
a regiment as ever marched forth from orr
midst is allowed to be disg-aced by incompe-
tent or cowardly officers? The General states
in his general order that there are some as
brave officers aud men in the regiment as
ever went forth to brittle, whose cheek must
tingle with shame at the dishonorabls retreat,
and calls on them to see that it is never re-
psated and to use all exer.ions to bring the
name Of the esimen. again into repute.

parent, who is compelled to surrender his son
to the hardships of the camp and the perils of
the battle, and in favor of rebel masters per-
mitted to retain their slaves. 1t would be
final decision, alike against humanity, Justice,
the rights and dignity of the Government, and
against sound and wise natural policy.
The decision Of the President to strike at
the root of the rebellion will lend new vigor
to the efforts and new life and hope to the
hearts of the people. Cordially rendering to
the President our respectful assurances Of
personal and official confidence, we trust and
believe that the policy now inauguratod will
be crowned with success and will give us
speedy and triumphant victories over our en-
emies, and secure the Nation and people the
blessing of Almighty God. We believe that
the blood of the heroes who have already fall
len and those who may yet give up their lives
to their country, will not have been shed in
vain. The valor of our soldiers, their patient
endurance, their manly patriotism and their
devotion to duty demands from us and from
all their countrymen the homage of the sim
cerest gratitude and the pledge Of our constant
reinforcement and support. A just regard to
these brave men whom we have contributed
! to place in the field, and for the importance Of
the duties which may lawfully pertain to us
hereafter, has called us into friendly confer
ence, and now presenting to our own Nationa
Chief Magistrate this conclusion of our delib
erations, we devote ourselves to our country's
service, and we will surround the Presiden
in our constant support, trusting the fidelity
and zeal of the loyal States and people will
always assure him that he will be constantly
sustained in pursuing, with vigor, this wa
for the preservation of the national life ant
the hopes Of humanity.

in succession the several army corps. As the

gave vent in continuous rounds Of cheers and
applause to their feelings. The general and

The war has many sad aspects, but none
more so than the cases of our young men
coming back from the battle-fields and hos
pitfalls crippled for life. Several of our Low
ell boys have suffered thus for their country :
but we have met with no case more painful
than that of a young man who was here yes
terday, who shared in the terrible experience
of the New York Goth, at the first battle of
Bull Run. This young man had lost his right
arm and right leg, also part of his teeth and
lip. This soldier is provided for under the
laws for the relief of inyalids, but patriot
emotions only can reconcile one to such disa-
bilities as this cruel war imposes. -LoweH

of change in the command of the army of
the Potomac, are pronounced by those who
have means OF knowing, without foundation.
1t is ascertained that the assignment of

that any other general will take the position
are not well founded. This at least is the
