CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT
At the Republican County Convention
held last Saturday, ID. j. COLEMAN, ESQ, wa
nominated by acclamation for the office Q
Clerk OF the District Court. Mr.. Coleman i
the present incumbent of the Office, and tn
manner in which he was rc-nominated is
compliment to him which speaks more in hi
favor than any words Of ours can do. Fo
the past two years he has discharged tn
duties Of his Office with such promptncss
thorough business like correctness, and, with
al, such ncver'failing urbanity, that the PEG
pie, with one accord, demanded that he b,
reinstated in the position he fills so worthily
There was not candidate in the field in op
position to him, nor was his nomination
opposed by single vote in the Convention
His election, if not quite as unanimous rs hi.
nomination, is beyond the possibility Of .
doubt. He will receive the full strength o.
the Republican party, and the votes Of those
Democrats who do not act with the Mahoncy
clique. .. ....
The Democracy held their Convention on
the same day, and nominated S. H. Packard,
local editor of the North Vest Democrat, as
their candidate for the same office. As long
as Mr.. Packard consorts with politicians o.
the stripe which put him in nomination last
small minority of the electoral votes of this
County. Mr.. P stands better chance Of
being struck by lightning than he does Of
being elected Clerk of the District Court
MORE TROOPS CALLED FOR FROM
IOWA.
Below we give the proclamation of Gov.
Kirkwood calling for five new regiments from
this State, being part of the quota of this
State under the late call for 100000 men,
Our proportion of the number called for
would be about 5000, but if we are credited
with the number we have raised already
above our proportion, six regiments will be
about what We ought to furnish. By reading
the proclamation it will be seen that regi-
ment is apportioned to each Of the Congress
ional Districts, with the exception of the 9Th
and 9th, which are to raise one jointly. This
District must furnish five hundred men, and
we are certain that it can be done easily
The Governor intimates that il it should be
found necessary drafting will be resorted to
but we have no fears of this. EnlistmentS
will perhaps be made rather slowly until har.
vest time is past, but when this work shall
have been accomplished there will be no lack
of men to fill up our quota speedily. Who
will set the ball in motion in this District g
Let there be a patriotic emulation between
the different sections, and that which first
raises its requisite number will have done
something to be proud Of Be up and doing

People of Iowa.
have this day received from the Secreta-
~ of War, telegram requesting me to raise
as soon as practicable, for the United States
service, for three years or during the war, five
regiments of volunteer infantry, being part
of the quota Of this State under the late call
Of the President for 800, 900 men. The pres.
ervation of the Union, the perpetuity of our
government, the honor of our State, demand
that this requisition should be promptly met
Our harvest is upon us and we have feared a
lack of force to secure it. But we must imi
tate our brave Iowa boys in the field, meet
new emergencies with new cxertons Our
old men and our boys, unfit for war, if need
be, our women must help to gather harvests
while those able to bear arms go forth to aid
their brave brethren in the field The nee.
essity is urgent. Our national existence is
at stake. The more promptly the President
is furnished the necdful troops the more
speedily will this unholy rebellion be crush.
ed, and the blessings of peace again visit our
land. Until then We must expect the hard.
ships and privations Of war.
The time has come when men must make
as many as have already made, sacrifice Of
ease, comfort and business for the cause oil
the country.
The enemy, by sweeping CONSUMPTION,
have forced into their ranks all men capable
OF bearing arms. Our government has as
yct IeHeu upon tne volunteer action OF OuI
citizens, but if need be, the same energies
must be exerted to preserve our government
that traitors are using to destroy 1t. To sim
plify and systematic the raising of these reg.
iments, have assigned one to each ofthe 1st,
ID, Sd, and 4th Congressional Districts, and
to the 9Th and 9th together This will pre-.
vent interference in recruiting and enable
those from the same section to go to the field
together.
Which District will have its regiment frst
in the field ? Places Of rendezvous for the
different regiments, will be designated when

regard to the new regiments can be obtained
