ANOTHER YOUNG HERO DEAD.-Wc
understand tha. M. John CASTOR, from
lama County, in this State, belonging
to the l4th Iowa, died very suddenly in
this city on the morning Of the 2lst INST.
Mr.. CASTOR had lately been discharged
from the service at Corinth in consc.
qncnce Of permanent disability incurred
in the service. At the battle of Pitts
bnrg Landing he escaped capture with
his regiment in consequence Of being
detailed to serve AZ powder carrier on
that day. The Surgeon Of the regi.
ment, DR.. Staples, and others who were
acquainted with him, speak in the high
est terms Of him as a brave, patriotic,
and Christian young man. Although
lie died and was buried among rtrang
ers, he was surrounded in his last sick
ness, and carried to the grave, BY kind
and sympathizing hearts. Many tear
Of heartfelt sympathy was she'd at the
grave OF the departed young hero, for
hero he was il the trucst sense Of that
term. Although occupyinga very hum
bic position III the service, no one dis
charged his allotted duties with more
zeal, promptituae, energy, and fidelity
than this young man. We understand
he has brother and other relatives at
Wolf Creek in Tama County in this
State. May the green sod Of his moth
cr earth rest lightly upon the heart Of
the brave one who has gone to his last
long rest from the battle fields Of his
country. Rev. John G.. IIolbrook Of
this city kindly volunteered to attend
his burial and perform the last sad rites
that mortals can confer upon de-
parted ones, whether friend or stranger.
Thus has another Of the brave young
men Of Iowa been offered up to the ac-
cursed Molocil of this rebellion. How
long-Oh! how long shall this sacrifice
Of the young, the brave, the true con.
tinne before the country shall arise in
its might, and em:tc to the earth this
rebellion and cxtirpatc its cause. Dubu

war now in earnest. 1t will be seen
that in addition to the 100000 men
called for by the 9Th ofAugust. SOC, 900
more arc TO be Immediately drafted,
and if the first call Of 100000 arc not
filled by volunteers by the 18th inst. the
deficiency is to be Immediately supplied
by draft also.
The rebel consumption act has called
out all their men, they having no more
left to rcplcnish their ranks as they shall
become ,hinncd, and we now know
exactly what we have got to meet.
This call is intended for that very pur-
pose; to meet them with forces enough
to break their stiffcncd nccks and bow
their stubborn heads.
Let no man complain of the present
action Of the government in drafting.
It is Just what is needed to call ont a
sufficient force in time to make decisive
blows. Many have been inclined to a.
tach fault somewhere for lack Of
energy on our part in the prosecution Of
the war, but the governments is taking
hold now with an energy which must
please every true hearted patriot. We
say amen Let the good work 60 on.

GUARDING sECesaa PROPER
nv.

It will be seen by tho following cx>
tract from letter, dated the lst inst,
near Corioth, from w. w. Yarham Of
the "Tama Rifles,'' 70 his father in this
town, that the shameful practice Of
guarding secesh property is still contin-
ued.
II do not ike the way things are be-
ing worked with the Eastern army by
any means. It seems to me as though
there were traitors in the lead, or that
the army Of the Potomac was lead by
traitors; otherwise Richmond might
have been ours months ago. A vigor-
GUS war policy has always been the
cry, but still our Eastern Army has
done nothing important for the
good Of the Union. The talk is now
that the Government has begun to take
the right steps for the immediate SUBJ
jugation Of this wicked ;and unmerciful
rebellion. ! hope it is SO, but am
afraid it is the same old tune.
The army Of the West is not doing
much better than the Eastern. At
any rate there are some ungodly mean
Generals in it. Not having enough
guard duty to do for tired and wearri.

over the property Of some rabid scccsh

was the good judgment Of her mother in fur

before she will be able TO read the news for

ture the belief that she will know more with
less education, and be better qualfid to move
in refined society, than one halt the Young

character of the papers which should reach
the eyes and ears Of children; and there can
be no difficulty in this respect; for there is
an abundance from which to make choice /;
but let them have good newspapers, and when
you read to them, explain such words. or
such articles, as they do not understand. To
