CAMP OF THE 9th Iowa, HELENA, Ark,
Aug. Sd. 1862.

}
FRIEND RIcH TO day has been a
proud and glorious time for the Iowa
Ninth. AT 2 o'clock this afternoon, we
were called into line, not to fight, but
10 receive one of the finest stands OF
Reglmental colors in the army Of the
south west, presented to us by the ladies
Of Boston. Mass. The Regimental flag
is white silk on one side and crimson on
the other. The inscription on the white
side is beautifully inscribed in gold let
tiers, &" Pea Ridge, Ark, March 7th and
9th" In the center, held by two grey
hounds, is the scroll with the words i" Iowa
gre Wounds" This is over the eagle,
which is in the centre of the flag, with
the Iowa coat of arms all Of which is
encircled with beautiful gold border
On the opposite side, handsomely embell-
ished in gold letters, are the words,
From your countrywomen Of Massa-
chusetts," with the coat of arms Of the
old Bay State. and the words 9 Pea
Ridge" again inscribed on the field
under the coat of arms, with the same
border. On the flag staff is a fine gold
bronzed eagle, with a splendid gold
tassel in his mouth. The staff is SO ar
ranged that tie flag can be detached by
spring. and folded in moment, max
ing il very convenient if you wish to
fold it in a hurry. The other is the
national flag, with its blue field, and its
broad stripes, one large star in the cen
ter of the field, encrcled with "a more
in a gold ring OF border, and the words
Pea Ridge, March 7th and 9th, 1862"
inside the circle-the flag staff and tas-
sci the same as the other. The color
guard is composed of eight Corporals
and one Sergeant, and is placed on the
left OF the right centre, forming on the
left Of Company G. Sergeant Charles
Curtis, Of Company, c., is the Color
Sergeant, the CorporaIs are taken one

~ Col. LEE is one, believe that CONGRESS
should leave the work OF emancipation
entirely to the army. All, however,
look to abolition as means. The gen
eral judgment, or the force of circum
stances. will decide the best channel to
reach the desired result. We believe
we can afford to wait, and can smiln ely
regard those who, like our friend LEE,
can disconnect the act from the word
and denounce the term abolition, while
they have nothing to say against that
kind of a war policy.

ADDRESS OF THE LADIES.
Yours truly.

Our CoUNTRYMEN SOLDIERS of the 9th Iowa
Voluntecrs-we desire to present you with
these our National Colors, as an evidence of
our interest in you as soldiers of the Union,
and as token Of our grateful admiration for
the valor and heroism displayed by you on the
memorable field of Pea Ridge.
We greet YOU not as strangers, but as true
and loyal friends, for though but one of your
members is personally known to us in far off
Massachusetts,, our hearts have followed YOU
with prayer and with hopeful expectation of
being gladdened by your success.
We have anxiously looked for tidings of you
from those early September days when you
were first assembled at Camp Union, to the
cold dark days of the late winter, and although
the order onward was long delayed, yet when
it came, so readily did you obey it, that we
found 1t no easy task even in imagi nation to
keep up with the double quick of the Iowa
Grey Hounds. The memory ofthe patient de.
votlon with which you have unflinchingly borne
toll, fatigue, hunger, and privarion, and the
recollection of your brave and gallant deeds on
the 9TH and sth of March 1862, will long be
treasured in our hearts, and although we think
with sorrow ofthe sad price of such victory,
and the unbidden tears must flow at the
thoughts Of the brave hearts now stlled forev-
er, yet we feel pride in the consciousness that
her noble sons feel no sacrifice too great for
their old and beloved country.
God bless the Union. God bless you and all
soldiers of the Union armies is the fervent
prayer Of your Countrywomen in Massachu-
sets.

Arrest of ID. A. Iahony.

ES" On Thursday last, d. A. MAnoYr,
editor Of the Dubuque Herald, was ar
rested, under orders from the War De.
partment, by United States Marshal Hox,
lie, the charge against him being that of
treason. lie was arrested about 4 O'Clock
in the morning, aud though he cried
g Murder" several times TO alarm the
community and TO raise the means Of res.
cue, the officers found no difficulty in
taking possession Of the gentleman. He
was taken to the Key City House, and
from thence to boat lying at the levee,
and shipped down the river.
While we believe this act to be in &C.
cordance with the almost universal de.
mand of the soldiers and people of Iowa,
as well as OF The loyal press throughout
the whole country, which had become
conversant with the reasonable course
OF the Herdld-and while we believe that
the government is most emphalically
justified in making tlat arrest, having
shown leniency 10 the traitor almost
without parallel-and while we feel the
satisfaction incident TO knowing that an
enemy of the government has been
stopped in his career of treason and in
gratitude-we do not have any feelings
of exultation-we have only feelings of
regret-at the necessity for such an ex-
hibition Of power. Mr.. MAHoNY is a
man of talent, and has been in position
where he could have used these talents eff.
ectlvely for the government which has
protected and honored him. He possess.
ed much influence over the Irish Catholic
element of this State, and through his
paper, over certain class Of Democrats
throughout The State. Had he been i'm
bued with a particle of the spirit of pa
triotism, be might have served the cause
Of the government well. Instead, he
choose TO throw his energies, his abili-
ties, IN the 'scale of disloyalty, and has
worked with zealousness and a subtle
~ unequaled, 20 the prejudice of the
cause OF the Union. That his work was
effective no one in the State can doubt.
That he was enabled to arouse and 10
keep burning, party passion, rebellion
sympathies, and hatred to the govern
ment, and through these, TO detract from
the resources of the government in men,
no one who will look around him-no
one blessed with the gifts of sight and
hearing, in our State, VIII doubt. That
he could thus nj suse his advantages and
abilities lie could thus find heart
to stab country which has been kind
and lenient and generous to him, is not a
pleasant contemplation, and we cannot
prevent feeling of sorry over faculties
thus prostitated, even while our heart
swellS with indignation at the despicable
meanness Of the acts which have brought
their just penalty. We could have wish
ed that Mr.. MAHoNY had given his influ-
enee and ability to the cause of the coun-
try, and would gladly have seen him
saved the humiliation Of his present po-
silion.

Men of Buchanan County rally to your
country's call. We wanttwenty able bodi.
ed brave men, to fill up Company G..
The enemy is in our hands. All we have
to do is to move forward, and the work is
accomplished. There is very little sick
ness in the Regiment at present, all are
in good spirits, and ready at the tap OF

haps this will not reach you. l have
written three or four times and have not
heard from you till last week. Hope that
our communications will be better in the
future. We are ready to march some
where, perhaps Little Rock. The loyal
men of Arkansas are coming out every
day and joining the Union army. A
Union man cannot live in the foul air of
treason /; he is driven from his home.
How can traitor live in the patriotic air
of Iowa? viii some one tell us 4?

When | commenced this communica
tion l intended to devote paragraph te
the manners and customs of foreign Min
listers resident near this government.
suppose the British Minister is properly
regarded as at the head of this peculiar
element of Washington life. Lord Lyons
is not married, and is about As years Of
age. His residence is on street, in the
vicinity of the Presidents mansion, in the
section of the city where most of the For
eign Embassies reside. His suite occu.
pies the residence lately occupied and still
owned by Ex-senator Hamilton Fish. 1t
is a. brick mansion, plain and unattractive
in lis exterior, and not very extravagant
in its dimensions. His manner of con-
ducting his establishment, however, is af-
ter the style of the lordly Englishmen.-
His retinue of servants is complete, and
after the most approved ancient customs
Of the realm. His steward is sort Of
petty lord, having his office servants 10 do
his bidding, and his horse and carriage
like any other lord. There are some fif-
teen servants in all connected with the es-
tablishment. His horses, five in number,
are all choice blooded animals. There is
one pair of matched bay animals for his
coach. The others are saddle horses,
which, in the style of the true English
man, the distinguished Lord and attaches
are in the habit of using. His cellars are
stored with the choicest wines and bran
dies, and nothing is wanting to the man
sion of that due to the time-honored Gus
toms of an English lord. The really daz-
zling spleudors of the establishment, how
ever, are the most strikingly seen on the
occasion of some special dinner. The
plate of the entire establishment is excu-
sively of gold and silver. On occasion of
a dinner, the table is always laid with
plate of the richest enameled gold, most of
which has been handed down from gener-
alton to generation in the family, and is
probably the richest and most complete
set of plate to be found in this country
That at the Presidential mansion is not to
be named in the connection. His carria-
ges are Of English manufacture, and when
he rides he is always attended by both
footmen and coachmen in livery.
