The citizens Of Davenport and vicinity are re-
quested to meet in LeClsire HILL, on Monday
evening. A,ri 7th, q. o'clock, for the purpose
cf adopting such measures as may be deem ed nee
essary and advisable to secure prompt attention
to tho wounded, and proper respect to the dead of
the Volunteers from Scott county, who may here
alter be disabled or killed in defense Of cur Ma
tional honor aad liberties in the war against re-
belioa.
The experience Of For. Donelson has shown that
volunteer citizen aid is Of the utmost importance
to the prope; ami immediate care Of the wounded
and dying after sanguinary engagement. which
numbers its victims by hundreds, ard multiplies
demands for nurses and surgical skill which the
ordinary provisions Of the army are inadequ Ne to
meet. Desperate and bloody conflicts are impend-
ing in wa ich the patro. sons Of Iowa will be, as
ever, ;" bravest Of the brave" Bleeding wounds
and mang!ed bodies will attest their devotion to
the cause they have espoused: Let our apprec2-
tion Of their valor and patriotism be manifested
by tender and constant care of each suffering
limb and reverential respect for every lifeless
form. To do this is duty; to do less is disyrace.
A full attendance at the above mentioned time
and place is therefore earnestly requested.
