CAMP OF THE 9TH Iowa, NEAR HELENA
Arkansas, Oct 81, 1862. {

Arkansas, OCT. ID, 1907.
FRIEND RIcu We have now been in
active service twelve months. One year
ago TO day we were in St. Louis, as a
Regiment one thousand strong. as a
Company one hundred and one men,
And now the number Of men in the Reg
iment is 759, making a loss of GAL
men during the past year. The reports
Of our company show loss Of 26 men
We are now looking for recruits 10 fill
the regiment TO its original number The
men stand the warm weather better now
than when we first were introduced to
this climate. 1t has been very dry here
this fall, the rainy season las not yet set
in. Cotton is sipe and is being picked
by the colored people, where they have
not gone with the army. In my opinion
they would be better cared for with their
masters than with us. They are poorly
clad, and some time they run little
short of ralions, and sleep under some
tree for shelter. or course, some are
well taken care of and when we leave
this place there will be great many left
behind. 1t will be impossible to take
them away.
Rumors are afoat in camp that he
first and third Divisions Of this army are
to move up the river and leave 10 day.
but we do not know as they are true, and
that Gen. Cars Division is to be left 10
guard this point. We hear that the Pay
Master is in town, If SO we will receive
our pay soon. A flag of truce came
from Little Rock, fol- what purpose we
have not learned Col. Adams, of the
Confederate army, brought through the
dispatches TO Gen. Curtis. Some say
that they demand the surrender Of the
army, others say that they came to lei
the General know that ii he did not move
this army, that they intended TO drive it
into the river, but hardly think that they
will drive the army Of the South West
very far. We have been in this camp
nearly three months. and are likely TO
stay here for the next three months TO
come. The boys are quite heakhy,

The .Judgeship.

Eg- Cedar Falls gives BURT 60 Ma
forily, Waterloo l59 majority, and La
porte Township, Blackhawk Co., unan
imous vote, 46. 1t is thought that BuRr's
majority in Blackhawk will be about 400
Delaware County, will probably give him
800, and Buchanan and Grundy 17t
more. The soldiers will do the rest, We
hope, towards defeating WILSON, ant

County will probably give Wilson from
1000 to 1900.

THE ELECTION.
REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET ELECTED ! /!

Eg- The election on Tuesday passed
of very pleasantly. The day was good,
and pretty full vote was polled in most
of the Townships. The Democracy were
particularly well organized, and got out

tickets and eleclioneering lies-ihey are

jority fully up to what the most sanguine
Of the Republicans anticipated. Of the
soldiers who have enlisted from this
county we know that good three
fourths were drawn from the Republican
ranks Our opponents knew it well
enough, too, and therefore they were
much in hopes that a full vote of their
own pariizens would carry them to victo

of those who have no sympathy with re-

bogus tickets and their X. G. C.'s, we
have q faxed them again, and when the
soldiers vote comes in-well, let the Ma
honyites stand from under.
We have not the full returns from the
several townships, but sufficient 10 indi-

Alton Township gives IS Republican

Correspondence of the Guardian.

Correspondence of the Guardian.
CAMP FRANKLIN, Oct. 1lth, 1862.
FRIEND RIcn We arrived at onrI
camp home late Thursday evening, and
found the little company who remained
during our absence on furloughs, in
good spirits, and glad to welcome us
back again. But, sad to relate, one, dur.
ing our absence, went to his long home
Though not member Of our company
or regiment, yet he was one of the army
of brolherly patriot soldiers. lie was a
member of the Ssh regiment young
man of much promise, and was former
ly editor of The Star of the West. l
formed happy acquaintance with him
on his death bed. He possessed in in
domilable will, and ceased to persevere
only when death met and conqured him.
His aged father watched over him in his
last hours, and hoped for his recovery,
ill the fatal messenger overlook him
and carried him away, and then he lay
him, an innocent sacrifice, upon the altar
of his country. This is the first death
that has occurred since we have been in
camp, and it brings gloom and sadness
TO many brave, rejecting hearts. Such
feelings must be overcome. Friends
must sicken and die, but success must
crown our efforts, though we fall while
wading through seas of blood.
This morning we are TO receive 81
dollars, our guns, knapsacks, can.eens,
and this afternoon four of our companies
leave for ST. Paul and the rest will leave
in the morning. The eth regiment,
composed of some of the brave Iowa
boys, now bids adieu to Camp Franklin
with all its military associations. Here
we have taken the initiatory step to a
bloody contest. Here has been the step
ping stone TO unsuIlied honor and en-
during fame. We leave here with
happier hearts now than we could a
month ago. The Presidents proclama
ton, the harbinger Of new and glor-
Gus era, has sounded in the ears of free
men. AT no time since the Omnipotent
one rolled up yonder hills and scooped
out the channel for this mighty river, has
there been more desirable time to live
than now. The Revolutionary heroes
left bright page in the mighty volume
of time. But in those golden days when
men fought for a principle that was an
anchor to the throne of justice, there
was no brighter record than the dying
patriot of sixty-two has written with his
own indeible, innocent blood. The
Gathering hoofs Of liberty's steeds are
echoing across the celestial plains. The
notes OF freedom are ringing around the
hill tops. and rolling down the valleys.
Onward to the conflict we 90, and when
victory perches upon our national ban
ners. and brotherly feeling hovers over
the worlds escutcheon, what glorious
time it will be to live, what happiness
will this age Of patriots roll down the
tide OF years to succeeding generations +?
