DEAR SIR: will add few items to
the above. We have just succeeded in getting
permission to go to Mound City, from Dr..
Taggart, and will be accompanied by the del.
egations from Davenport and Washington,
Iowa. We may be able to find some of our
soldiers at that place, and will endcavor to
get to Paducah and Fort Donelson.
There will be a reconnaissance in force from
this place to Columbus, under Col. Buford,
this evening or to morrow morning, which
will be accompanied by some of the gun
boats. If they find that Columbus is not too
strong they will make an attack and will not
return, but will proceed down the river,
DR.. Bowman isnot permitted by Gen. Cul-
lum TO leave his post as president Of board
OF medical examiners. His assistant will al.
so be detained here to attend the patients in
the reg'mental hospital. DR.. Truesdale is de.
tailed as surgeon of the 9th, and will ac
company the regiment in the field for the nres.
ent expedition. Should tina, be to Now n.
leans, am fearful the good people Of Rock
Island will have to conclude not to &c, sick
any more, as nearly all our physians are en-
tering the service.
We will advise you from time to time of
any items we may be able to get hold Of
We will not omit noticing the attention
shown US by Col. Buford, when not occupied
in the discharge of his duties. He has been
very polite to u.s. in showing us all of inter
est at this point. He is proverbial in Cairo
for studous attention to the duties of his Of

most polite gentleman at this post.

Best Sewing Machine

Best Sewing Machine
to be had, we present for candid consideration,
the following
There are three requirements which
should be united In sewing Machine.
/ list. Capabiity Of doing all varieties of
work In a perfect manner
ed. Ease of management.
Sd Durability.
| LIST. The Grover 4 Baker Machine combines
these requirements IN q more eWtReat degree
than any other machine. Ii will sew from one to
twenty thlcknesses of cloth and over one thick
ness OF lace or naInscok on to two or more thick
uesses of caliskIn WHhOut change Of needle, thread
or tension, making perfect stitch each and all
of these fabrics, which proves that it possesses
the first requirement.
I'd As it will sew from one to MANY thick
| nesses Of cloth and lace or leather, without any
change of needle or tension ii is erident that it
must be more easy TO manGge than other machines
that require change IN running from one variety Of
| cloth to another.
| II is also easier to manage than any ether:
Because it has amore powerful feed that holds
on to the work firmly so that the operator need
| not hold It stretched to avoid puckerng, thus en-
! dangerlng breaking OF needles.
Because it is unnecessary to unscrew any part
| of the machine to clean and oil 1t.
Because you never haze to cut the band off to
/ take up the stretch of leather.
! Because it feeds over perfectly without
| requiring the operatorto pull the work through
3. With regard to Durablity-the Grover &
Baker Machine has been in general use Tor the
past - wears, and over 90 900 Of them are in use
in the United States alone. Machines made the
first year Of our business, still in daily use, and
apparently good as ever. Although experience
IN the manufacture has led to improvements IN the
