Aid 10 Volunteers.

Petitions are being circulated in
this county requesting the Supervisors
to hold a special session for the pnr-
pose Of making some arrangement for
encouraging men to volunteer for the
war. 1t is thought that, under the
call for ono regiment from this Con-
grcssional District, the number of
men apportioncd to Floyd cotiuty will
be about forty. In many parts of the
country from $75 to $l00 arc paid as
a bounty to each volunteer, and it is
thought that the least which Floyd
county should do would be to offer
$50 tc each volunteer having a fami-
~, and $25 to those without family.
This will require an appropriation by
the Supervisors of from 81 500 to
$1,000 small matter when divided
up among all the property owners oil
the county. Judging from the well
known patriotism and liberalty o,
the Board, VIC cannot doubt that they
will readily appropriate the sun
named, and perhaps more. What il
4 done should be done quickly.

COMPANY X, 81 Iowa INFANTRY,
FoRr PICKERING, MEMPHIS, July D, 1862. I
FRIEND HILpRErH We had made
up our minds to spend the summer
months in some small town on the
railroad, when orders came for the Di-
vision to move at once to Memphis.
The Division Immediately moved for
ward, first destroying all the bridges
and culvcrts in or near town. AS we
marched along, every able bodied ne
gro, who wished to so, was told to
drop the hoe and come along. The
weather was extremely warm and the
army suffered from thirst. Some
were overcome by heat, and died and
were buried along the road
After three days marching, We ar
rived at Memphis, and were at once
ordered to camp at Fort Pickering
1t was supposed the enemy was about
to strike blow for the possession of
the city Memphis, one of the most
rampant of the cities of the so called
Confedcracy, is not as fine or large a
city as | had supposed. 1t is, like the
hand Of Providence, spread all over
creation. There are only two hand.
some buildings in the city one, the
Courthouse, the other, the Gayoso
House. There is q good levec, now
piled with cotton, sugar, &C.. Sher
man brought into the city sevcnty-five
wagons loaded with cotton.
In the public square is fine mon
umcnt to Gen. Jackson. One side
had inscribed upon it his memorable
words, 1.-The Federal Union it must
and shall be preserved and some
chivalrous son of the South has dc
faced it with a hatchct, running the
monument entirely. There arc now
40, 900 troops in the city, commanded
10y Gen. Sherman. Lew Wallace.
Division has gone to Helena, Arkan

| Anchored abreast Of the city arr
the gun.boats and mortar fleets. Tn,
gun-boats look very saucy with thu
black muzzlcs of their guns pointc,
on the city. One volley Of she'll
from the fleet would destroy the place
\ strong provost guard is constant,
Ipatrolling the streets, and all citizen

was lately found guilty of holding col
respondcncc with the enemy, and al
she had listened to little cxccllcn
advice from the Provost Marshal, sh
was conveyed outside the Fedora
lines and politely told her presence i
the city could be dispensed with.
