SOLDIERS VIEws.-"Dif,," the correspond.
ent of the Davenport Gazette, in bis last
communication to that paper, is rather severe
upon the tory papers of Iowa, having slap
at each. He is, like the majority of soldiers
who are now periling their lives in defense Of
the country, averse to having their efforts
neutralized by the fire-in-the-rear policy Of
the editors Of these tory sheets. Hear what
he says of the feeling in the army regarding
the Courier and its editor:
81 have before me an editorial clipped from
the Courier, headed "Peace." 1t was sent to
Capt. G. G. Horton, Co. A. Thayer wants
peace does he? And then he lies, and says
all the soldiers are tired of the war; sc. !;
mo terms of peace are half as degrading as
this war; Do you know the soldiers ex-
pressions on glancing at such articles !? They
express, with an earnestness that shows the
deep feeling that prompts it, 1 wish he was
in camp, and he would be swinging to limb
before the sun had Set That's the feeling.
have heard it, have felt i'll feel it to-
night - and would give a pull with every
ounce of strength to execute it. Judge, per-

one way to prove it, and if you will come
down and you don't see kingdom GOMEZ
will agree to take a commission under you

~ The following, which we clip from an
exchange, will be Of interest to many of our
readers:
FOREIGN POSTAGE IN CoIN.-The PoStmas-
ter General has issued instructions to the
larger post Offices of the country, to collect,
on and after the first day of March next, in
gold or si'ver coin, all hostages due on un-
paid letters received in the mail from Great
Britain and Ireland, France, Prussia, Ham
burg, Bremen and Belgium, and to hold the
coin so collected subject to the special drafts
of the Post Office Department. The reason
for this order is that, under existing postal
arrangements, hostages collected on foreign
letters must be accounted for by the Depart
ment to foreign Governments in specie or its
equivalent; and at the present rate of ex-
change the remittance of balances, in conse-
quence Of the very large excess Of collections
made in the United States, has been attended
with heavy loss to the Department.
Parties having European correspondence
will do well to require their friends on the
other side to prepay the international postage
on all letters for this country.

RIVER OPRNED.-The ice started at this
point, last Thursday, and during the after
noon passed down the river. Friday morn
ing the river was entirely clear.
The winter has been remarkable one in
several respects, commencing with cold snap
in November which served to bridge the river
pretty effectually. The cold weather lasted
but few days, however, and the river re-
manned closed only about week, after which
time, until the beginning of the present month,
the weather has been for the most part, as
mild as spring, and the river open. Steam
boats could have landed at our levee every
month this winter. At the commencement
of February, the weather was for few days,
excessively cold, freezing the river over in
two days, since which time, until Friday, it
has renamed bridged, Notwithstanding the
"cold spell' only lasted for short time.
Up to the time of the late closing of the
river, no ice had been put up in the city,
and fears were entertained that none would
be. But the dealers taking advantage of the
chance thus afforded them. though late in the
season, went to work in an energetic manner,
and, although the time allowed for the pur.
pose has been short, they have succeeded in
securing sufficient quantity of good solid
ice to meet all demands for next summer.
The following table, showing the time Of
the opening and closing of the river for the
years of 1862 and 1863, will be of interest:
