skedaddle,' and have not been heard of
since. Some of our cavalry are in pur-
suit of them. 1t will be surprising to
you to learn that the Union sentiment is
stronger here than any county we have
passed through. Old men threw up
their hats at the sight of the old flag, and
thanked God that they were once more
free men. One man commenced dancing
when the band played Yankee Doodle.
He had been arrested once for whistling
Yankee Doodle and Hail Columbia,
where the people proclaim they are fight
ing for liberty /! What do you think of
men that are born upon the American
soil, that will refuse the right of an
American the high privilege of singing
the national songs of his country :?
Thank heaven the day of deliverence is
at hand, for the God of liberty is with
us. Men that love God and their coun-
try are once more free. think God in
his wisdom has sent us down here as
missionary society; and the good work is
going on. Every day hundreds are re-
turning TO their fathers house. Every
day brings repentant traitors home But

just announced, We are to cross the river
in one hour. All is hurly -burly. We
take ten days rations with us, and from
the movement Of things judge we have
forced march before US, probably to
Memphis by way Of Little Rock. l have

LETT us at Ozark. He felt very bad to be
left behind, but it was better STAYING
near Springfield, where he could be ia
ken care Of, than it would have been at
any other place on the road. We hope
that he is better and will be able soon TO
join US. We miss him very much. We
also sent two Of the FAIRY boys to Rolla,

the Company are well and in good spfr-

kee invent plan 10 rid us of their pres
ence The whole western division will
bow down upon their knees to thank
him, ten thousand bands will serenadt
him to the skies, twice ten thousand
voices publish the merits Of his clocks to
the world, and the General perhaps
award him with commission in the
Fifth Iowa.
Just above the camp is farm owned

doubtable secesh for FIVE days. that
length of time being considered by him
sufficient to wipe the Yankees out of the
country Unhappy man Yesterday he
was captured by a band of audacious
cavalry, and sent TO st. Louis, prisoner
of war. As he passed by his farm, he
saw the corn and cotton fields, where Of
old, trembling slaves bowed subservient
to his will, dotted over with federal
camps, while to the corner Of his house
had been fixed the telegraph wire, con.
veying its news Of federal triumphs. The
negro quarters resounded to the treadbf
soldiery, and cannon cleaned beneath
his orchard trees. What a tiavesty.
Changeful indeed are the freaks Of
fortune. The few families that are left
are to be pitied. Their crops are des-
troyed, and if they should raise them
there would be no market. Industry is
paralyzed, the children are ragged, and
stand in little gioups by the door way,
looking out at the soldiers with great
frightened eyes. In the back ground
stands the mother, pale and careworn. The
father, where is he None can tell. Per-
haps his bones are bleaching on the soil !;
or, a traitor, setting the laws of his coun
try at defiance, lie wanders in guerrilla
bands, shedding the blood Of his brothers.
Not rooster raises his clarion note in
the barn-yard-no farmhouse sounds
are there-the cows go unmilked in the
pastures. Coffee is worth 1925 per
pound. Flour is not TO be had at any
price, and the women and children are
compelled to live on corn meal, made in.
TO cakes without saleratus or salt-eyen
the hard crackers Of the soldier they
estee m great luxury, and a gift of them

them.

Appeal.
We are forcibly and painfully i'm
pressed with the fact that the sick and
wounded connected with the Iowa regi
ments have not received the care and at.
tention TO which their merits entlle
them. For patient endurance and un
flinching courage, Iowa may well be
proud of her sons and when they be-
come disabled by disease or the sword,
1t is due to them that they be well cared
for.
By the untiring efforts Of Ladies' Aid
Societies, our soldiers have been well
supplied with hospit j stores but no ad-
equate means have been provided for
Transporting the wounded from the bat
tie field, while very many valuable lives
have been sacrificed, and much needless
suffering endured, for want of surgical
attendance and proper nursing.
This want is universally felt and ac-
kno~ledyed, and spontaneous and gen
eral effort is now being made to supply
the deficiency. Individual effort can
avail nothing. "In union there is
strength" A Sanitary Commission has
been established for the State, and the
Governor will use all the means al his
disposal in connection with local contri-
buttons, to promote the desired end A
State Convention is to be held at Daven-
port, on the 28th inst, and delegates are
invited from all the different counties.
Citizens of buchanan County:-You
have freely sent your sons to join the
grand army of the Union ; and they have
won laurels of which we may we'll be
proud. Nor can we permit them TO re.
turn to us, as they have been frequently
obliged to, helplese and alone, and often
dependent upon the voluntary aid of
strangers.
The opportunity ofputting forth uni
ted and successful effort, is now present.

proclamation of Gen. HUNTER, freeing
the slaves in South Carolina, Georgia

the feeling Of the people. But we verify
believe that it will prove the only FEAST
BILE solution Of this contest, and that it
will not be great while before the peo
pie will come so to regard it. Slavery
has proven itself everywhere hostile 10
the Union and the Constitution. Its vic
inns, on the contrary, are everywhere
loyal. The climatic diseases of the South
will soon prove the necessity of taking
advantage of this loyalty. This, and the
undoubtcd fact that the quickest way to
terminate the war, and secure perma-
nent peace and harmonious country, is
to destroy the cause of the war, will soon
bring the people to acquiesce in the step
We want to see the war closed, and tht
