FERRY RoAD.-We notice a paper circula.
ting among the business men of the city, for
contributions of money to be used in repair
ing and opening the old ferry road on the
opposite side of the river. We hope this en-
terprise may meet with encouragement. A
large amount of produce has, in times past,
been brought to this city from Rock Island
county. Since the old road has been aban-
doned, this trade has, in measure, fallen
off. During high water the bottoms on the
other side are overaown, and the roads i'm
passable. At such times the ferry boat is
obliged to run to Drury's Landing, three
miles above. This causes considerable de-
lay. The cd road was seldom rendered en-
tirely impossible, being on much higher
ground. Messrs Fisher and Pettibone have
secured lease on the landing ground at the
foot Of the old road, thus obviating the diff
culties heretofore existing in relation to the
right to land. They have met with consid-
cradle encouragement thus far, and as every
citizen is directly interested in its completion,
will probably receive sufficient support to
warrant them in putting the road in complete
repair.

Cheer, frsemen cheer Your loud acclaim,
Swell to the schoing vault of Heaven
For rebel raid and rebel shout,
mid battle din and battle rout,
From Gods free air Is dying out,
And to the past shall soon be given,
With all their hopes of ruin riven,
Their bastard deeds and bastard name.
Our proud victorious anthem swell,
From whore Potomacs tide is sweeping,
To where the circling waters play
Around old vicksburg's ramparts grey;
And by the banks of Helena;
Aud where the breakers wild are leaping
Round Charleston There brave hosts are keeping
Our nag on high, whore FIRST it fell
Cheer, fisemen, cheerl The darkling shade
OF traitors night that settled DER us,
Isyielding to the coming light
And millions swear for God and right.
They all shall fall beneath their might,
Who haunt their craven flag before N
Mere than IL lost shall they restore Us,
And freedom thus be doubly paid.

FROM CoRlN1H.-We extract from pri.
vate letter, written by member of company
A, 9TH Iowa infantry, now stationed at Cor
inth, several interesting items. A grand
prize drill for beautiful silver bugle was to
have come off the next day, the 14th. Two
companies from each regiment stationed
there, were SELECTED to 60 through me man.
ual of arms and all the evolutions appertain
ing to the United States light infantry tao
tics. Companies D and F were the selec-
tions from the Seventh.
The Second and Seventh were to be armed
with the new Enfield rifles. They had al
ready started from Memphis. When received
and distributed, the entire brigade will be SO
armed, the remaining regiments having re-
ceived theirs some time since. Guard duty
is very heavy, there not being sufficient
number Of troops. Reinforcements are ex-
pected every day, however. The writer says:
"Our company was highly complimented on
general inspection, yesterday, by the Inspec'
tor General, who said we were the best look
ing company, had cleaner guns, knapsacks
better packed, and heater quarters than any
other in the brigade. Coming from regular
officer, who are, as general thing, rather
chary of compliments to volunteers, this is
quite word in our favor"

A BLESSED DAY.-What blessed day is
Sunday to the weary man who necessarily
catches but glimpses of home during the
toiling week; who is off in the morning while
little eyes are still closed in slumber, nor back
at night till they are again sealed by sleep.
What would he know Of the very Children for
whom he tolls, were it not for the blessed
breathing respite of Sunday? What honest
mans child will ever forget this day, when
clean and neat it is his privilege to climb
papa's knee, and hang about his neck, and
tell him all the news which goes to make up
his narrow little world. Marrow did we say?
We recall the word, forit widens out into the
boundless ocean of eternity. Sunday for
the working mans children Should we have
it-a day hallowed by sweet, pure home in
fluences; when the little hand, quite com.
plete, shall rest from labor, and Love shall
write it down the blessed day Of all the seven.

LosT.-We remember to have once heard a
story of a servant girl who, during steam
boat trip, lost certificate of good character
given to her by her former employer. Hav-
ing shown the certificate to the Captain when
she got on the boat, she applied to him for a
recommendation in lieu of the one she had
lost. The Captain wrote for her the follow
ing:
This is to certify that Miss - had a
good character when she got on my boat at
B., but lost it on the trip down."
We would suggest like expedient to our
copperhead friends whose principles of State
Policy so mysteriously disappeared at the late
Copperhead Convention Suppose that Ma
hony should sign and Hutchins ter-sign
something like the following: "This is to GER
tify that our party had set of principles
previous to the nomination on the night Of
the 9Th ofJuly, but that the same were lost
in the confusion attending the balloting for
candidates. "-Des M0ines Re0ister u
