: Friend Daniels-D Dear Sir: PROM the
macy expressions vf kindness shown US
by the friends Of the Louden Company,
we doubt not but they will be interested
to know how we fare in camp. S,occ We
have been here our boys have been quite
healthy The sick report, until within
the last few days, has been the smallest
Of any company in the regiment. A.t
present we have one in Lospital-Ca,cio
hler, a..I nix IA barracks that are not
we'll, though none dangerously i'll,
Last Thursday We were pleasantly sur
prised by the loyal, noble hearted ladies
Of Muscs'ine, with delicious dinner
After eating heartily, our worthy Major,
in his accustomed humorcu. and eloquent
style, briefly addressed us, representing
US (and truthfalIy too noble company
Of yound men, and worthy the con fdeuce
Of the Iadie., if We are net good looking;
The last remark Of the Major Was proba
bly, IN jest; i: really in earnest, We do not
consider him judge Of beauty.
We were again, on Saturday evening,
furnished With bountifu supper pro-
vided By the good people Ct South prai-
rie. With such uuspariug literalty did
they bring in tie richest lu uxuries Of earth,
that, notwithstanding the unusual effort
made by tn; boys to cause the chickens,
pies, cakes, &c, to disappear, We had
plenty LEFT Sunday morning for breakfast
and dinner. Tie trouble aud labor of
providing such rcpas, by so few, mus.
necessarily be great; but did the kind
fri, uds bu, know how it nerves and stn,.
ulstcs the soldier to endure the hardships
and privations to which they are exposed
they you'd feel amply rewarded fer their
labor. Long will the soldiers remember
the ladies for that visit.
Yesterday we received our twenty Eve
dollars bounty and two dollars premium.
The thirteen dollars, or months pay ip
advance, We received some time ago, We
expect our uniform this week We are
badly in want Of clothing; many of the
boys are dressed in summer clothing,
and these cold nights and frosty mornings
adj rapidly to our sick list. SOLDIER.

THE OCEAN AND THE FALLOF RAIN

The OCEAN AND THE FALLoF RAIN
The Atlantic Ocean includes an area
Of -, ,OoO, 900 square miles. Suppose an
inch Of rail to fall upon onl j one fifth o.:
this vast expanse, it would weigh 36o. =
600, 600 tous aud the salt which, as wa
ter, is held in solution in the sea. and d
which, when the water was taken up rs
vapor, was left behind to disturb the
equilibrium, weighed l6,OOO,O 900 more
TONS, or nearly twice as much ss all the
ships in the world could carry st cargo
each. It might fail in a day but occupy
what time it mi gh. in falling, this rain is
calculated to exert so much force which
is incoDceivably sreat-in disturbing the
equilibrium of the ocean If all the wa.
ter discharged by the Mississippi river
during the year were taken up in one
mighty measure, and cast into the ocean
at Gu effort, it would not make greater
disturbance in the equilibrium Of the
sea than the fall Of rain supposed. And
yet so gentle are the operations Of nature
that movements so vast are unperceived.

NscRiplD TO TIE COLOR Gu ARD or THE SIN IOWA
Twas on that soft September day,
We gaily marched ut mornings sun-
But ere the noontide swept away,
We heard the foeman's signal gun.
The red vines pressed beneath our feet,
The joyous birds sang forth;
And WED in sweetest song to greet
The rcapers Of the North.
luka's field looms up before
And well it see MS o field Of death,
Still on we prvss--ws share the gore,
And feel the very caunon's breath.
And now Though valley. copse and glen,
We meet and fight them hand TO hand;
And stepping stones sre made Of men,
On which to dsh. for fatherland.
But see. there, in the battles smoke
Our banner bows before the blast;
And mid the shot and sabre stroke,
Are comrades f.llin; thick and fast
But quick as lightning speeds tho sky.
4 hundred freemen gather round
And while our banner floats on high.
A hundred foemen kiss the ground.
With sickles dyed in purple gore
The field 10 reaped-a human flood:
Tho valleys mock the cannon's roar,
And flowers grow pale in human blood.
The darkest hour is Just at day;
The pine swings. 20 the palm
Oh, may we weep, aud watch aid prsy
That soon may come our day OF calm.

MORGAN, THE GUBRRILLA.-Col. Morgan's
force embraces men from Texas, Mississippi,
Georgia and Kentucky, Of desperate character,
but obedient to his WILL as the lion is to its
ter. A few Of them are gentlemanly, but the ma
joTity would 2 soon cut mans throat as ia ke
a chew of tobacco.
Col Morgan himself is courteous and polite ,
He stands about six feet In height, 10 slightly
round shouldered, and his dress Is distinguished
by nothing except a silver crescent, which holds
up one side Of his wide brmmed, low-crowned,
black felt hat His T. e Is rather dark complex
ioned, with features sharp. He wears NOUS
tache, with whiskers on his chin, and never al
lows himself to be overcome by anger. He is
idOized by his men, who think he Is Kentucky's
Messiah. He married an estimable lady, some
years since, but she died eight 3n months ago,
Of grief, over the crimes Of her husband. For
two or three years she was an utterly broken
heart ID woman, and fnelly 81 nix into the grave,
about six weeks before Morgan took the last step
in the direction Of infamy, Dy j0ining the South
ern Confederacy The guerrilla chief formerly
had an interest in faro bank In Cincinnati. He
was engaged In picking up" seeds" as verdant
people who accompanied him TO the gambling
houses were familiarly called.

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY or THE PoToNAc, July
90 DIR Williams. who hiss been a prisoner at
Salisbury, N. G for several months, and who
arrived here on Satu urday, having been uneon-
ditionally released, states that during ten days
after the battles In front of Richmond 1s 30 rebel
troops passed through that town on their way to
Richmond, and that more Were on their way.
The Doctors window overlooked the railroad
depot, giving him good opportunity OF a-:er-
timing what was going on. These troops came
from James Island. : C and Eastern Georgia
Among other fac.I the doctor ascertained tn .
there were IL ,0C0 troops at Charlottesville, walt
ing transportation to Richmond. That 3O,OOO
conscripts had been raised in each Of the states
OF Tennessee and Georgia since the 9th of July,
and a p.ooortionate number in other extreme
Southern States. He heard the adjutant Of Colo
mel Goodwin, who commands the post at Sails
bury, and who had just come from Richmond,
state that the adjutant of General Hill told him
that the rebels had ITO CO troops engaged In the
battles Of the seven days He was accompanied
by DR.. stone, who was taken prisoner at Bull
Run, and who corroborates the statement so far
as rela' q TO the movement Of troops.
On heir wey up to Richmond they passed long
trains OF empty cars on their way South. IL thest
statements are uue-and there is every reason tC
believe they are-it shows that the rebels are
stalking their all on this S'1te, by concentrating
within its borders an overwhelming force.
General Mcclellan spent the entire day yester
day In visiting the different hospi.-ls, speaking
words Of encOurag ement to the sick and wounded
and seeing that their wantJ Were properly admin
istered to.
The boat1 to-day brought down 495 wounded
Om Richmond, leaving about 200 yet to come.

FROM FORrR Ess MONROE.

correspondence OF the Associated Preta
FORTRESS MONROE, July 2S.-Some days ago,
al was reported in this correspondence, informa-
tion was obtained that there was a large rebel
force being concentrated in the neighboInood of
Petersburg and along the banks Of the James
river, between the junction of the Appomattox
and James rivers and Richmond.
On Friday, the 25th inst, when the Union
prisoners were being conveyed from Richmond
to City Point, at every side track and turnout they
passed trains Of cars loaded with rebel troops,
headed towards Richmond and some rebel OH !.
GERS offered as an opology for bringing down our
prisoners In freight cars that they using all
their passengers "ars In moving troops 10 REIN
force Jackson. 1t Is more than possible that this
was all merely movement to disguiSs the fact
the rebels are now In strong force between Rich
mond and the Appomattox river, that they are
still collecting forces In that direction.
What strengthens this view 10 the evident pains
taken to inform prisoners and officers In charge
that the movement Of troops was to reinforce
Stonewan jackson.
The mail steamer from Harrison's Landing

An amusing incident is told In connection with
Gen. McClellan's interview with the returned
Union prisoners on board the State of Maine at
Harrison's Landing last Saturday. Passing by

Ata meeting lately held by some abolitionists
in Boston, several Of the speaker boldly avowed
their hostility TO the Union resolved that ough
10 be destroyed, pronounced II folly for young
men to enlist, and abused the President In un-
measured terms. Among them, Mr.. Pills6ury
spoke az follows:
"Half a million Of the sons Of the North have
gone to that worse than Ganges crocodile that In
habia the rivers Of the South, and now 30O, 900
more are demanded. why did not voice go up
from the united North that not another soldier
should 90 until the war was turned against sla-
very? (Great applause Abraham Lincoln, for
mefly called the slave hound Of Illinois, hiss in
creased and enlarged his former tendency"
Mr. Stephen II. Foster held the following Ian
n e would nght under the banner Of the South
IL Jefferson Davis should proclaim emanci patti on,
from his love OF fresdom everywhere, a0d his
desire TO Cooperate with all who sincerely aimed
at frG edom. There is no need TO compare Davis
and Lincoln any more than any other two slave
holders III there w re, the uniform past record
Of the abolitionis's would place Davis above Lin
coln for II slave-catching Is worre (as we have
declared it) than slavehOlding, the later is a
greater slave-catcher than the former. He (Mr.
Foster) would rather take his chances with JEFF
ferson Davis, at the last judgment, than with the
President
It must be quite unnecessary to dilate on the
dsloyalty couched in such utterances while their
tendency to " disturb and hinder the progress OF

The MANUFACIURE OF GOVERNMENT Arms
The armOry in Springfield Massachusetts, makes
IL 900 stands Of arms a month la a short time
that establishment, with the fve private shops in
operation there, will be able TO manufacture
35 900 guns per month The armores at PrOvi-
dence Hartford, Trenton, Bridesburgb, Ver-
ment, Ilion, and one two other places, will
each be able to furnish the Government with 300
guns per day. In a few months we shall be
making hTst-rate arms, better than the best
Europe can afford, at the rate Of 100000 per an
mum. Ii is universally conceded by those who
are competent to form a correct judgment, that
there is nothing on the other side Of the Atlantic
that can compare with the American arms.
