TIE DRAFr.-It will be we'll for our people
to remember that over 5000 men are yet re-
quired to fill up the old regiments. The eff
cheney of the service requires that these regi-
ments be filled up to the maximum without de-
lay. Unless recruits are obtained there must of
necessity be draft. The Governor has no other
alternative left. We hope, therefore, that our
people will cooperate with the recruiting off,
Gers and see that NEE enough are soon obtained.
1t would be stigma upon our State to draft
Yet it must be done unless six thousand more

WHAT TEXAS UNION MAN SAYs.-The Hon
A. j. Hamilton, Ex Member of Congress from
Texas, made speech at Brooklyn, N. Y, on
last Thursday evening. He is the samgentle.
man who recently escaped to New Orleans from
Texas, and who is reported as having made an
able Union speech on bis arrival. We suppose
there is no "Abolitionism" about him, AID yet
it seems to us that he is quite as radical in his
ideas, non, as any abolitionst in the land. But
then, he perhaps thinks somewhat more of his
country than be does Of the slave system, which
is so charming to the leaders of the Mahony fac.
ton. The following is the Trbuues report of
the close of his speech: 4
He spoke of the difficulties of getting away to
q Union man, which were almost insurmount
able. 1t was fashionable thing to say, Il was
for the Constitution "a it is and the Union as It
was" [Cheers The Constitution as it is
Yes. The Union as it was-No! Loud and
prolonged cheering.J He would thank no man
to aid him in restoring the Union as it existed
in the State Of Texas in 1861. If he were to be
martyred for expressing the opinions which
Washington expressed, no such Union for him.

on behalf of the once entranchised free white

Democracy was saved or not If we did not
accept the issue, it would be forced upon us.-
The liberties OF the North were inseparably
bound up with those of the South. If Secession

GRANTS BLUHDER.-It is the commonly re-
ceived opinion that General Grant ought to have
captured, or completely routed at least, the
rebel army under Price, At the battle near Iuka
The ineficiency of some Of our Generals is some
times most conspicuous after successful battle,
and some times in their utter want Of success in
getting into one at the right time, and at the
right place. Grant seems to be guilty of both
sins, and so oonspicuously that it seems to US
the sooner he is placed elsewhere the better.
A correspondent of the Missouri Republican,
writing from CAMP near Corintb, on the 2dth
ult., explodes some of the stories circulated as
to the battle of Iuks, and numerous unfounded
claims to fame, and concludes as follows. The
writer seems to think generalship scarce arti-
Gle in that region:
The fact is, Price and all his train ought to
have been captured. Had there been any GEN
eralship, he soould have been captured or annihi-
lated. He ought to have been attacked in three
places at q time, but he was attacked only at one
point, the remainder of our forces being miles
distant, already camping for the night YetGen.
Grant, in his official complimentary order, after
praising the troops in this battle, says Gen. Ord
and his troops deserve equal praise because he
was trying his best to get in the battle, or to
reach the battle field. The Fifth and Sixteenth
Iowa regiments deserve the great applause ofthis
battle, and here it is cheertully accorded them.
Others did we'll, and none, perhaps, did bad,
while the enemy never fought more desperately.

Editor Hauk-E
SIR:-Some two months since wrote short
article for the Hawk-Eye, over the signature of
Iowa." my object in writing the article was to
call the attention of the farmers of Iowa to the
fact that we have Department of AgricuI-
ture,' and in order that that Department may
be as useful as possible, stated (if remember
correctly that seeds and cereals would be sent
free of cost to those who apply to the Depart
mens for them, and that those who are engaged
in agricultural pursuits may have confidence in
the efficiency of the Department of Agriculture
10 promoting that most important of all our in
terssts, referred to the appointment, by the
President, of the Hon. Isaac Newton to the i'm.
portant position of commissioner of Agricul-
ture." have not had the privilege of reading
the Hawk-Eye for the past year, and did not
know until day or two since that you had
published my article, as I had not seen the
paper but am now informed that your regu-
lar Washington correspondent writes over the
signature of iowa" and makes some claim to
the exclusive right to use it, and am informed
that in an article Of his, which appeared in the
Hawk-Eye, he insinuated, if he did not more
than insinuate, that used his signature for the
purpose of giving weight to my article. Its
impossible for me to reply to the article of your
regular correspondent, (not having seen it, but
/ wish to say to the readers of the Hawk.Eye,
and especially. to your regular correspondent,
that was not aware Of the fact of his having
appropriated the signature of "Iowa" to his
own exclusive use, or that he used it at all I
having used it myself occasionally during the
past year, and assure your regular correspou-
dent that have no desire to gain reputation
for myself at his expense.

A WRoNG NAxE.-The Chicago Tribune says
that the 18th Missouri, which, next to the 5th
Iowa, displayed SO much dash and bravery at
the battle Of Iuka, is = Missouri regiment only
in name, being composed as exclusively Of ILL
nois volunteers as any regiment from that
State. It was raised last year too late to be
accepted b. Governor Yates, and went over to
St. Louis and enlisted under the authority Of
the Governor of Missouri, a. did also several
thousand others. Gov. Yates has succeeded in
having . portion Of these transferred to the
credit of Illinois The Tribune calls the. atten'
ton of the Governor to the 11th, and urges that
efforts be made to have it assigned to the State
to which it rightfully belonga 1t does not
think it right or fair that Missouri should reap
the glory earned by the gallant deeds performed
by the brave sons of Illinois. The Tribune is
about correct, we think. There are some com.
panies and battalions of Iowa volunteers among
the Missouri and Nebraska regiments, for which
Iowa ought to have credit We believe the LIST
Nebraska is composed mainly of Iowa boys
and its fighting record, if we mistake not, would
not do us any discredit

termine whether the Major is guilty of any Of
fence, or the victim Of persecution. The test-
mony is published from dsy to day in the leading

fantry merits special notice. 1t has now been
at Camp Lauman, which is within our city limits,
for about three weeks. During that time we
hardly remember having met one of the pr;vates
out Of camp, unless on military duty. There
has been no disturbance, no noise, nothing dis
orderly among them. The officers and men ap-
pear to understand, and to act upon the under
standing, that they are in the service of their
country and that it is their duty to fit them
selves for its performance as thoroughly and
speedily as possible. The men of this Regiment
are remarkably fine body, perhaps the finest
we have had in this vicinity, and their decorous
and orderly conduct thus far indicates a morali.
ty and high character which entitle them to the
highest praise. The truth is that no one would
discover that there is camp in this vicinity
during weeks stay in town, unless he were
told of it, or CHANGED to see an officer perform
ing some official act. We think the officers of
this Regiment must be both more industrious
and more faithful than most we have seen. The
past conduct of their men is most distinct eyi.
dence of their merit. 1t proves that they per-
form their whole duty, and make their camp
their headquarters, and are watchful over those
under their care.
