ernmental mother you owe 50 much, ana
the uncharitable, unkiDd, and traitorous
hand which would smote her to the earth.
Does not your pride as an American, is not
your honor as man, citizen OF great
State and Nation, at this very moment,
prompting you to reinforce Mcclellan, or
some other worthy General? Do you not
feel uneasy Of conscience that to-day you
are found here, among comforts and pleas
ures, while your brothers, cousins and rel
atives are on the field of strife, grooming,
7surging, and bearing up against an enemy
made numberless by CONSUMPTION? You
have brothers who are voluntary martyrs
to cause in which you have as much per-
sonal interest as they, and need assistance,
and they must haze it.
Let us hear as favorable returns from
Iowa as we hear from other States further
east. Let her sons march OUT and bid de-
aance to fate, and let then buckle on the
armor Of patriotism, and WELD the sword
Of truth and justice, and let them know
that if they fan they will be remembered,
and If MANNED cared for, and If they re-.
turn as hey went, that joyful welcome is
theirs, and that respect shall be paid their
honorable deeds.
Gov. Morgan, of New York, has assumed
toe responsibility of raging to each new
recruit. the sum Of City dollars satisfied
that the General assembly will legalize and
confirm his action. Would it not be we'll
for our Governor to follow his example /?
No doubt the loyal Legislature of Iowa
would confirm his acts in the premises, and
the loyal people approve them. But we
leave the matter to his wisdom, believing
that he will do that which is for the pro-
motionof the cause in which we are all en-
gagged.
But to the extracts we copy below, we
call particular attention, and let Us emulate
the example here set. Let the people of
Council Bluffs meet, assist, pay their mon
ey, and work for the organization of our
Regiment, for ss'there are many able bodied
citizens of this State, possessing wealth and
influence, who thus far, have done little or
nothing to sustain the flag which protects
them. 1t is their duty to use some small
portion of the advantages which they pos
sess in aiding enlistments, else it may be-
come their privilege to shoulder musket
in the ranks" s saEs7
NEW YORK.
The Western part of New York seems to
be thoroughly aroused to the necessity of
placing its quota of troops, under the new
levy, in the field at once.
In Buffalo, the Express Of Monday states
that the work of organizing the new regi
ment is progressing as rapidly as could be
expected. The several committees intrusted
with the preliminary and incidental labors
of the undertaking have been working for
the past two or three days with the utmost
energy, and have accomplished much.
Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Ledger states that re.
cruiting is progressing in that city with
tolerable briskness, and that one IF the
new regiments has already enlisted men
enough to make the formation OF camp
expedient. ma@ $50 @#
The 18th regiment of United States In.

upk passenger Railroad, for the purpose Of
recruiting and instruoting. On Tuesday the
companies were ENGAGED in putting up their
tents, and workmen were. erecting extern
sive barracks, cook-house, hospital, &c.
t VERMONT.
The spirit which prevails in the Green
Mountains is sufficiently indicated by the
fact that the 9th regiment from Vermont
passed through New York yesterday, and is
already close to the seat of war. The pa.
pers think that there will be no difficulty
in raising the quota. Some progress has
| already been made in recruiting for the
10th regiment, and the llth has already
been called for.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The old Bay State is fairly alive with en-
thusiasm. Every town and village are VIE
ing with each other to see which shall first
place its quota in the field, and there is
every prospect that Massachusetts, will be
far ahead of her sister States 10 the prompt
ness with which she will respond to the call.
Enthusiastic meetings, which have had
substantial results, have been held in all
the principal towns.
! CONNECTICUT.
Notwithstanding the utterances of such
men rs Ex. Governor Seymour, who prop
erly belong in the rebel ranks, Connecticut
is hardly behind Massachusetts in her ex-
hibitions of loyalty. Gov. Buckingham,
with zeal which does honor to his patriot
ism, is working earnestly in arousing the
people. Most enthusiastic mass meetings
have been held all through the State, with
the most gratifying results.
INDIANA.
At an enthusiastic war meeting in India
napois, on Saturday evening, Gov. Merton
and Gen. E. Dumont made stirring ad-
dresses. Gov. Morton urged the necessity
of reinforcing Mcclellan, believing that
when the rebel army before Richmond was
destroyed, and the rebel Capitol taken, that
the rebellion would receive it's death. blow.
He had faith that the people would come to
the rescue and save the Government. He
appealed to the men of wealth and t. those
whose business was prospecting, to reflect
upon what would be their condition should
the country be destroyed. lie considered
that their private as we'll as public interests
demanded that they should give their ser
vices to the Government at any sacriice.-
