- Lines respectfully inscribed to Captain Drips
Company, Goth Regiment Iowa Volunteers,
by MAGGIE ). BOYD.
Brave volunteers God bless you all, We bade you ali
good-by
With aching heart and quvcring lips, and too, with
glistenins eye,
you all 60 willingly, with hearts so truly brave
To take up arms against the foe your countrys fame
to save.
The honor of our beauteous land it once was dear 70
all,
But traorous hearts would glory in its ruin and
DOWNFALL
Rebelions storm is fierce and dark, and
to view,
But tho the Coon is lowering, We see light peering
With thousands Of such loyal hearts, - yours our
volunteers,
Gone forth to battle for the right, what cause have
we for fear,
For right is might, and heaven will smile upoa the
side Of right,
And feeling this, that God is just Well glory in your
might.
Wien treason spread her witherius blight first DER
our glorious land,
We felt her influence far and wide, yet scorred the
murderous hand
We knew not fear for fearless hearts eat Icy ally and
Who would resist ruthless foe, and treachery sub
secessious reign will be oer it will not cannot
last;
With things that were twill soon be named an era O,
the past;
Its emblem flag will no more, the hated stars
and bars,
But all will foat in peace our own bright Stripes
The standard colors Of the free, the old Red White
and Blue
Will be disgraced, weea when borne by hearts
SO true
Ye'd rather die than it's folds lie trampled in the
dust,
The Union flag SHALL be preserved! Do you not say
MUST,
The parting from loved friends at home, ah , none
may ever tell
The anguish given to many hearts by that one word
Farewell
And yet they would not bid you stay, tho tears in
silence flow,
For patriot hres ilume their breasts-they cheerfuy
say, GO!
Fond prayers will eer attend you all wherever You
may roam,
The fervent offerings OF those hea in each beloved
home
mother, wife, or dear friend whose every tho
will be
of him who's battling for the right, for home ani
liberty.
Heaven guard you all, brave volunteers, God bles.
you all OF &c more,
May every one come back again, when this dark str

Well welcome you with glad deli ght, truessons from

Encrowned with glory, honor TRUTH and flushed will

w- The Madison Patriot narrates the
circumstances Of the death of a Mrs.
Conlin, Of Dane county, from the bite of a
rattlesnake. She was urged to drink CO.
piously Of whisky which was offered as a
sure preventative of the fatality Of the bite,
but refused on the ground that twenty
years before she had pledged herself in a
teetotal society not to drink any spiritu
Gus liquors. She died the next day.

Iowa SoLDIERs.-As usual, the Chicago
papers claimed the glory of the late fight
ing at the battle of Iuka to the Illinois
troops, alleging that one regiment was sl-
most annihlated, etc. The full list OF
casualties which they subsequently, publish,
show that ten Iowans were killed or ound-
ed where one Illinoisan was harmed.
Thus it has ever been. Chicago papers
grab for the honors for the Illinois regiments
in every engagement. Facts Of losses sus-
tanned, tell y no were under fire attest
conclusvely who had the posts Of danger
and the posts Of honor. Render unto Iowa,
the fame that is Iowa's.

SEVERE. E.-Ths-Albany Evening Journal,
has the following language with reference
to the Chicago Tribune:
1--WE have long regarded the Chicago
Tribune as Jacobinical and revolutionary !;
but its Washington correspondent makes a
stride in advance of its usual recklessness,
when he deprecates great victory by Gen
Mcclellan as Setting the seal Of perman.
ence to the reign Of West Point" Have
all reason and humanity, as we'll as dccen-
cy, departed out of that print?'

fathers.

A fine collection Of 400 geological speci.

Of which were furnished by Masters Mac
Gregor, Fox and Durham. We invite to
an inspection of ou, Cabinet, citizens and
others interested. Some attention has been
paid to Drawing though the onerous duties

60 Tribune Of Saturday states the position
of President Lincoln's Cabinet, on the
matter of his late emancipation proclama.
ton, to be as follows: Sec'y Chase has
warmly urged it; Scc'y Welles favored it
Sec'y Stanton was not opposed to it Post
master General Blair bitterly fought it ;
Sec'y Seward not less determinedly, but
more cautiously opposed it; Sec'y Smith,
and Attorney Gen. Bates also warmly con-
tended against the proposition.
1t will be thus perceived that the judg-
ment Of the ablest men of the Cabinet op.
posed the step, and that therefore, so far
as the intia! step is concerned, there is no
party issue raised on the question.
Seward and Bates, since the death of
Webster and Clay-are confesscdly the
best authorities upon the Constitution, and
the fact that they are very strenuous in
their opposition to this measure, both up
on grounds Of law and expediency, renders
the step recently taken by the President
open to the freest criticism.
We do not feel competent to determine
the question, "when the Doctors dispute"
and are compelled to content ourselves with
facts as they exist. Certainly if it results
in cutting off the head of the rebellion
without cutting the body Of the Constitu-
ton in the twain: more will rejoice more
than we.

LITERARY QUERY.-In lecture deliver
ed here last winter by the Hon. Edward Ev.
erett it was noticeable that that distinguished
and learned gentleman adopted the local pro-
nunciation of the name of somewhat notori-
GUS district of South Carolina, calling it Bew-
FORT after the custom of its not over educated
inhabitants, rather than Bogfort, as we should
naturally expect to hear from the lips of an
accomplished scholar. But, though we dare
not call in question such high authority,
still the Carolinian pronunciation of Beaufort
CRATES harshly on the ear,-worse even, in
deed, than the Franco-Canadan coarse
ness with which our westerners speak
the name, Chicago, as if spelt She-kaugh-go.
1t would seem that there must be some limit
to this rule of conforming to local usage. For
example, what literary gentleman of New
England would venture to speak of the stir
ring scenes now being enacted upon the
''eems' riverY And yet every planter and
poor white and niger dwelling on the sacred
shores OF that rebellous stream has alwavs
anu without exception, SO pronounced its
name from the scalping times of Powbatton,s

FREMoNT's MARCHEs.-The complaint of
military men within two hundred miles of the
capital, for the last two weeks, has been of
the weather. 1t is considered almost miracu-
lous that Fremont has been able, in spite of
burned and flooded bridges, to make such a
capital pursuit of the enemy, and compel him
to give battle. Military critics say that the
march Of his troops from Strasburg to Harri-
sonburg is without precedent in this war
1t was made in better time than Jackson's
march upon Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry,
and the battle fought is considered to be as
desperate as the one fought by Banks and
Shields at Winchester last spring News
from Fremont is anxiously expected at the
war department Reinforcements and sup
plies were rapidly following him. but his adj
vance was so speedy that it is very difficult
for any army wagons to follow him up.-
