G That eminently pious sheet the
Memphis Avalanche, while shedding an
avalanche Of tears over the recent rebel
defeats, enters upon lugubrious homily
upon the sweets of adversely" 1t de-
clares that prosperity, long continued, is
dangerous from the overweening conf
dence which it is liable to engender''; and
that "defeats as an instrument in the
hands Of a kind and benefcent Providence,
who watches the fall Of every sparrow,
may be made the pregnant source of an
untold amount Of future good" There is
nothing more true in philosophy or morals
than this. Providence is doing the reb-
els an immense amount Of good by scourg-
ing them with defeat. If adversely is
6 sweet" in its "uses," the Avalanche
and its co-rebels will have surfeit Of
it in the few coming months. Their
boastful and overweening confidence"
will be pretty much taken out of them by
the time our armies lock their arms across
from the Carolina coast to the Mississippi.
We are glad to see that they are gradu-
ally coming to realizing sense of their
unworthiness," and that they are justly by
their sins the proper subjects of the Di-
vine punishment. When they betake
themselves from Boosting to prayer, in
imitation of the Avalanche, the dawn OF
reason will have commenced.

toms noblest young men, and one Of the first
to spring to arms on the alarm being sound

the first one raised in the patriotic county in
which he lived, as private, from which
position he has by his bravery IN the field,
and real sterling merit, rose to the position
which he held at the time of his untimely
death.
He was the correspondent of the Washing
ton Press, and had already gained reputa-
ton as ready writer, and was highly respect
ed by all who knew him, and would, had he
been spared, been an ornament to his country.

~ We have been requested by.Samuel
Holmes. Hospital Steward at Camp Strong,
to make an appeal to the friends Of the SOL
diers in the country for delicacies for the sick.
Almost any thing will be acceptable. Many
little delicacies, Of which Iowa ladies have the
reputation of being excellent manufacturers,
will come in play, and will not be missed by
the donors. We know there is no necessity
for lengthy appeal for such articles in
Muscatine county; all that is necessary is to
acquaint the generous citizens with the fact
that such things are wanted, and we will in
q few days have such an answer as will assure
our brave boys that their efforts tor the pres
ervation of our Union are appreciated.
Bring on your spare jellies, cakes and pre-
serves. Chickens will also be very accepta-
ble. either alive or dead, as there are now
places provided for the safe keeping Of fowls.
They are excellent for making soup, the prin-
cipal diet of convalescent patients.
We hope this appeal may be responded to
and our brave volunteers not allowed to suffer
f,r the common pecessaries of the sick room,
while our country is so bountifully provided.

On DRAFr1NG.-It will probably be as well
for our citizens to remember that in order to
fill up the old regiments there must yet be
six thousand men raised. If not done by
volunteering, there must be draft resorted
to; and there is no lodging it. The Govern
or is obliged to see that our quota is made up,
and if it is not done by volunteering, he must
resort to the only plan left him, however dis
agreeable it may be.
We hope the fair name of our State may
be saved the disgrace of this measure. Some
of the States are already up to the mark, and
we would be sorry to acknowledge that Iowa
was behind them in patriotism. Therefore
let our citizens second the efforts of the re-
cruiting officers all in their power, and if pos
sible all up the quota. It can and should be
done. M

er half would vote to send commissioners to
Richmond or welcome propositions from the
rebels for winding up the struggle rather than
drag through another winters campaign in
the swamps of the Chickahominy, or in any
other part of Virginia; but give them the word
forward, and with the needful leader and re-

energies employed and their minds easy.
The same correspondent states that the
rebels made their appearance in small force
opposite this place for the evident purpose of
showing themselves. They were mounted,
and numbered 90 or more and seemed anx.
ious to attract attention. A section of Par
rott battery was brought to bear and few
shells sent after them across the river, and. of
course, they made tracks.
The best information that can be received
from Virginia confirms the idea that the
body of the rebel army, which fingered for
a time on the South bank of the Potomac, re-
treated up the valley in the direction of Mar
tinsburg. For over a week, however, they
succeeded in keeping up the semblance of
force along the Potomac, for their own pur-

Notwithstanding the apparent inaction,
believe peremptOry orders have been received

movements of the war. Preparations are
rapidly progressing, and within the next
week or ten days the country will doubtless
be gladdened with intelligence more grateful
than ancient record of all quiet in the army
of the Potomac.

Latest official accounts state that the rebels
have escaped. They crossed the Potomac
near the mouth of the river, marching ninety

Pleasanton's forces arrived at the crossing
just as the rebels finished, and engaged their
artillery, but the result is unknown. Pleas

Yesterday there was general movement of
our troops towards Dam No. 5, where it is
thought they would attempt to recross.
In the woods, on the Virginia side, opposite
the town, there were indications of rebel
force of at least 5000 men. The smoke of
numerous camp fires were visable among the
trees for two or three hours on Friday, and a
full regiment of men was seen drawn up in
