Each box should be distinctly marked
with the name Of the society sending it.,
and list Of contents pasted on the out
side of the box, SO that its contents may
be known without opening it.
Wines and delicacies should be packed
separately. to prevent damage by break
age, which sometimes occurs. Articles of
hospital clothing most in demand are cot
ton shirts and drawers. Other things
may be sent as heretofore. Fans and
mosquito bars arc greatly needed. Fresh
eggs are choice article of diet for the
sick, and if dipped in lard and packed in
oats, mixed with salt, will bear transpor-
ton and keep fresh for grea. length Of
time. Not more than fifty or sixty dozen
should be packed in one barrel.
Societies throughout the State are re-
quested to observe these instructions and
earnestly solicited to send on large sup
plies of goods to meet the pressing wants
Of our sick, during the unhealthy season
Of summer.
No more goods need DO sent directly to
the Keokuk hospitals, rs competent

them, from the common stock of goods
coming in, with everything necessary for
their comfort.

ALEXANDRIA CAPTURED BY SECESH!
Retaken by Keokukians
Thirty SeceSh Prisoners In Limbo 4
Other Expeditions Over the
Border.

Our city was startled from it's usual
Sabbath propriety and quietness on Sun
day morning by the arrival of runners
from Missouri with intelligence that the
rebels had taken possession Of Alexandria
and were assembled in large nu nbers in
that vicinity with the intention of ma
king . raid on Keokuk.
The alarm was given the fire bells we're
rung, and the citizens quickly assembled.
The City Rifles were mustered, and &C
companicd by number Of citizens and 1
company of convalescent soldiers, all
properly armed, thsy left about noon on
the ferry boat, all being under the CON-
mAnd of Lieut.. Col. Parrot.
On arriving at Alexandra they found
the rebels had skedaddled, having been
apprised By fellow named Ray of the
preparations making here. Ray, it ap-
pears, left here in q skiff expressly for
the purpose Of conveying the alarm to
q
them.
Our friends. however, did not have an
entirely bootless trip. They brought NJ
sPrlsoners twenty-five Of the leading Sc
cesslon'sts Of Alexandra, together with
the skunk who gave the rebels notice.
About the time the above named party
left here, another squad, moun ted and
armed, took the st. Francisville road. in
tending to enter Alexandria from tn,
North, and thus place the rebels between
the two. They, however, had received
sufficient notice to defeat this object and
get clear away.
our citizens, aroused by the impudence
ana daring evinced in this raid. have
formed themselves into military compa
MES, comprising all the male adults in tn,
city, numbering many hundreds, ant
which. under experienced and ef6cien
leaders, Major Terrence having the com
mand, will successfully bid defiance /
any force the rebels can muster in thi
vicinity.
Our force made second visit to Ale1
andria on Sunday night, returning Wit
several more prisoners and : quantity {
boots, shoes and clothing, which had bee
collected for rebel purposes.

and the sooner they dismiss the idea the
better. Either the Union or Slavery must
BE- destroyed II is for the people to ny
which is most worthy Of preservation
At present, Slavery is ofincalculable value
to the rebel cause. So far, in building
intrenchmenta, and producing subsistence
for the vast armies of the rebels in the
field, the slave population have been the
buiwark Of the rebellion. This great
strength may be taken from the rebels by
proclaiming freedom to. their slaves. /
sincerely believe, and have heard in select
circle in Richmond, an observation to the
effect that if ever the North should land
in The extreme South few thousand
negroes, and send them inland. they
would swell like mountain torrent, and
gathering in masses at every plantation,
they soon would dispense the great army
now: assembling around Richmond to the
defence Of their own fresides. Such
policy may, perhaps. not be the most
agreeable 70 the people Of the North, but
l have no doubt that it would finish this
rebellion sooner than the 300, 900 volun-
teers now called to active service. The
North has the issue, and swift and
speedy one. always under her control.

Taken altogether the following para
graph. considering that it is from the
leading organ of the Butternut Democracy
in Western Pennsylvania, of which party
Dan. Miller is now prominent member,
justifes our heading the best joke Of the
season.
About twenty years ago, big, raw
boned, brawney young fellow, ugly, Awk
ward snd unlsarned, migrated from this
county to Iowa and, after being in that
young State about year, was elected to
the Legislature. This was considered by
Dams friends here, one Of the most extra
ordinary exhibitions Of popular liberality
ever manifested by m intelligent people.
His sudden elevation to Legislative dignity
spread like hurricane throughout west
srn Pennsylvania and to that act is to be
attributed the large migration eom this
section Iowa, which Immediately fol-
lowed. Every young man amongst US
who knew Dan, saw, in prospective, legis-
lative and judicial honors. Iowa was
regarded ~ the land Of promise for. if
her citizens would elevate Dan Miller to
her Legislature, after . few month"; ac-
quaintance, what was it not possible the
same discriminating people would do for
others3
But of all the strange freaks and for
tune We have yet seen, the elevation Of
Daniel i. Miller to the United States
Bench is the most marvellous. Shades Of
Marshall, Story and Baldwin, and the rest
of the departed ornaments Of that high
court, be not troubled At this announce
ment, but rest, petrurbed spirits, rest"
Il Pittsburg Post.
Evidently the Post was not posted in
Dams recent taoistifcations or his present
status, and mistook him for Samuel +.
Miller.
The rush from Pennsylvania to Iowa
some years ago was doubtless on the prin
ciple suggested by son who moved West
in his letter to his father living in the
East. 1t will be remembered that the boy
wrote to his father who was something Of
politician urging him with great earnest
ness to move out, because, said he. Is
