passed. Idoubt very much if they ever
have been equaled There is not COM

them the comforts and endearmeuts ofhome

have taken their places in the ranks as pri-

had supposed Obstacles have arisen that
we had not anticipated, and the end
is not yet. But these things should not
discourage us and I am glad to say that
they have not discouraged US. As the
greater strength ofthe rebellion has been
developed we have promptly furnished the
greater needed strength to put it down,
and if need be Iowa can send forth
many more regiments, as brave, as loyal
and as true as those that have already
gone. As obstacles have arisen they
have been met as brave men meet them
They have been trampled upon as We
have passed on. And nov when it seems
to us here that all things are ready We are
waiting patiently, but with beating hearts,
for the day when the great battle shall be
fought-listeuing intently, and oh, how
auxiously, for the battle shout, "God for
the right" which will on that day roll
over that battle field from the brave men
who will be privileged there to rally around
our dear old flag and strike in its defense
and trusting humbly and confidently that
because they will strike for the right. the
God of battles will give Us the victory.
