ITO ARMS! TO ARMS!! To be. or not to be,
L that's the question; whether it is nobler for

Cedar county. Headquarters at the office Of z.
ID. Turner, Esq in Upton. Each man will re-

ments.
. | have this day received from the Sec
rotary Of War telegram requesting me
to raise as soon as practicable, for the
United States service, for three years or
during the war, five regiment. OF volun-
teer infantry, being a part Of the quota
of this State under the lave call Of the
President for 300, 900 more men. The
preservation of the tuion, the perpetul-
ty of Cur government, the honor Of our
State demand that this rcquisition be
promptly met. Our harvest is upon US
aud we have feared lack of force to Sc
cure il. But We must initiate our brave
Iowa boys in the field, meet new cmer-
gencies with new exer,ions. Our old
men and our boys, unfit for war, if need
be our womcu, must hei p to gather har-
vests, while thcsc able TO bear arms 60
forth to aid Our brave brethren in the
field. The necessity is argent. Our ma.
tional existence is at stake. The more
promptly the President is furnished the
needed troops the more speedily will this
unholy rebellion be crushed, and the
blessings Of peace again visit our land.
Until then we must expect the hard
ships and privations of war
The time has come when men must
make, as many have already made, sacri
fees of ease and comfort and business for
the cause Of the country.
The enemy, by a sweeping conscrip
ton, have forced into their ranks all men
capable of bearing arms Our govern
ment has as yet relied upon the volun-
teer action Of our citizens. But if need
be, the same energies must be c1erted to
preserve the government that traitors are
using to destroy it, To simplify and
systematic the raising Of these regi
ments, | have ASST gned one to each ..
the lst, ID, Sd, and 4th Congressional
Districts, and to the 9Th and 9th togeth
er. This will prevent interference il
recrus,ing and enable those from th'
same section to 90 to the field together

Half Of the army are Democrats, but four,
tiiths Of them are favorable TO confisca-

who have acted as authors or aid,rs and
abettors of the giant rebellion, The in.

There were numerous masked batteries
along the river, as also rebel steamer

Captain John 81. Morgan.

This gentleman, now 80 famous as a par
tizan warrior, is the son Of Calvin Morgan,
and was born in the year 1925, at Hunts
vile, Ala. His uncle, Samuel D. Morgan,
who resides at Nashville, Tenn, his father
and our informant, sister.in.law of the
latter, who resides below Algiers, were.
then living in Huntsville. She describes
him as child of peculiarly bold and cour-
ageous traits. His maternal grandfather
was John Hunt Of Lexington, Ky, whose
name he bears. Calvin Morgan moved to
Lexington when John was young, and this
will account for a statement We see made
by the Atlanta (Ga.) ComnaonoealM that
he was born in Lexington. His paternal
grandfather was Luther Morgan, who, and
his brothers and forefathers, were famous
as Indian fighters. ....s...,

CAPTAIN CHARLTON MORGAN AND MA.
JoR EDWARD MITCHELL EXCHANGED
Captain Charlton Morgan, a brother Of
John q. Morgan, the famous Kentucky
cavalier, having been wounded in the arm
at Shiloh, went to the house of friendin1
Huntsville to be taken care of, was eaptur-
ed when Mitchell entered the place, and
was released on parole. We have already
published the fact that Col. John Morgan
captured Major Mitchell, son Of the Gene
raj at Pulaski, Tenn, and released him on
parole. We learn from some Of the Colo.
nel's squadron, that, when he released
young Mitchell, he gave or offered him
$500 to take him wherever he might desire
to go. Letters captured with one Of Gen.
Mitchell's couriers by two boys, one ls,
the other 16. years old, between Hunts
vile, bear Col Morgau's compliments to
his father. A gentleman from Huntsville
says Gen. M. took his son around to Capt.
Charlton Morgau's quarters aud introduc.
ing him, remarked to the Captain: 81
would not have taken 50,000 for you, but
your brother has captured my son and has
been so kind to him, that am constrained
to propose an exchange Of youfor him, and
I will furnish you with any amount of mon
ey you may need" We understand the
exchange has been effected. Gen. Mitch-
ell could we'll afford to be maguanimous

THE TRUE Policy OF TIE PLANTER

THE TRUE POLICY OF THE PLANTER
A foreign letter received here yesterday, no
matter how, from an old merchant Of Mo-
bile to his correspondent in this city, con-
tains the following paragraph, which is
strongly confruatory of the policy gener.
ally recommended to our planters by the
Southern press. Plant anything and every
thing but cotton is now not only the die.
tate of patriotism, but Of plain pecuniary
interest. The letter is dated Liverpool,
March 26. We copy:
GAIL countries are now sending Us COT
ton, and if your trade should open, for
time, high prices might prevail, but twelve
months would hardly 'elapse without depres-
sion, and within two or three years such
low prices from accumulation from all the.
world as would prove ruinous. If you
should have supply Of three millions OF
bales, you should not think of increasing
it by fresh planting this year, or you will
render the two crops less valuable than one.'

YANKEES AT SPARTA, TENN.-A cor
of the Knoxville (Teuu.,) Reg
lister, writing from Sparta, Tenn, May 20,
says;
A Pennsylvania battalion of Cavalry,
commanded by a fellow titled Col. Duffy,
visited this place Friday last. They were
ordered by Gen. Dumont to intercept and
capture the celebrated COL Jno H. Morgan.
They first proceeded to Cooksvilc, 10 miles
north of Sparta. While there, Col. Nor.
gan passed within two miles of them. H.
stead of pursuing him, they took his back
track, and employed themselves in stealing
the horses of the citizens, of which they
took quite number. They spent two days
in this interesting business, and then came
to Sparta. A citizen there says he saw the
order under which they were acting. 1t
was to 'pursue Morgan. till HI freeze over
and then go under the ice after him, if
they had good reason to suppose he had
gone under"
They arrived about one hour before sun
down. The Federal commander went
round to all our houses, and ordered our
ladies to cook supper for six hundred men,
and said if they did not do it in one hour
he would turn his soldiers loose upon them
and would not vouch for their conduct -
Though not positively stated, the Yankee
villain intended them to understand this as
a threat of rape and robbery in the event
of refusal.
