How. A. C. DODGE: .s
SR:-The proposition you make above does
not strike me as remarkably fair one, and
doubt whether It will so strike the public
Nevertheless let the public decide. There is
no equality in the circumstances. You have
been public man since you came into the ter
ritory of Iowa. You have received honors and
Office at the hands Of the people Of this State
ever since you were old enough to exercise the
elective franchise. You have been delegate in
Congress, Senator for many years, and rep
resented our Government alta Foreign Court.
Thus honored by the people you have acquired
q competency in the public service. Having
the confidence, and being the leader of the
Democratic party, with the undoubted ability
to raise Regiment, command it, and thus rem.
der important service in the hour of the coun-
try's utmost need, it seems to me and probably
to the public, that you ought not to stand back
now, especially to carp against those who are
doing something to save the country. You are
in the meridian Of life, full of strength and Wig.
or, not engaged in any business or calling and
can leave q family well provided for, even if
you fall in the service of your country.
Now, sir, it is quite different with me. I
have never served the people Of Iowa in any
public capacity. have earned in the humble
capacity Of publisher of newspaper what has
been merely sufficient for the necessary support
Of me and mine. am known only as an edi-
tor and publisher through my paper, and with.

fair to presume will not in the future. have
neither houses, nor lands, nor money at inter-
est that my family can fall back upon-nothing
to leave them in case fall, nothing but bust
ness which they cannot manage. have no
military experience or knowledgeand what my
health lie General Dodge and the citizens of
Burlington know very well. ~ GO !
These are the differences in our circum.
stances fairly stated. Now propose to accept
your proposition, General. I will use all the |
influence can bring to bear to get you the
colonelcy Of the Regiment to be formed in this
District if you will help recruit it, and place it
in the field and lead it, as you can do. will
not only do this, but will enlist as . private
and share the hardships and privations and
dangers Of the field without any share in the

am concerned, and will to-day, enrol my name

Beg Gen. Buckner, while the boat upon
which he was being conveyed prisoner to
Jeffersonville was laying cut our wharf was
visited by number of his old acquaintan-
ces of this city. He met them cordially,
and conversed freely and unreservedly Of
his disaster at Fort Donelson.. He stated
that had it not been for Floyd and Pillows
cowardly desertion of him, he would have
been able to cut his way through the Fed
eral lines, and escape with the greater
portion of his army. He freely denounced
the cowardIy conduct of the "Great Thief"
and the "Ditch ID gger," as the cause Of
his present misfortunes He even stated
that these men had made a proposition that
the officers should escape from the Fort, and
leave the privates to their fate---to be killed
or taken prisoners, as the fortunes of the
succeeding day might result He sparned
the base proposition, and determined to re-
main and share the fate of his men. He
spoke in high terms of the daring valor of
the Federal troops, and the soldierIy aual-
tiles of their officers. He intimated that
the rebellion had received a check from
which it could never recover
Accompanying Gen. Bnckner, there were
twenty seven commissioned rebel officers,
INCLUDING four Majors, and one hundred

They were all taken to Indianapolis by q

EDS. JOURNAL Fourteen of the brave
18th Indiana rest in death on that hillside
where they went forth to meet the enemy
at Fort Donelson. Their blood was the
first that flowed on that glorious battle
ground. The bravery of their deeds and
that of their comrades by which they reach
ed their glorious resting place, has, as yet,
no appropriate record in the reports of that
battle. Shall we suffer them to lie where
ruthless hands may offer saerilege to their
graves, or will the county of Vanderburgh,
lat whose camp they entered the service of
their country see to it that they are all
appropriately removed to the land they
loved and left. Let their last resting place
be near the friends they loved and died
for. F.
