Fee, who reported the following preamble
and resolutions:
. | WHEREAS, The swift-winged messenger
Death, has again visited the officers circle
of the Both Iowa Regiments and,
I WHEREAS, Two more of our noble COM
rades, with whom it has been our great
pleasure to associate in camp, on the,march.
and amid scenes Of blood aud carnage. for
the period of more than one year, have
been detailed from among us, and have
gone to report to the Great General who
rules and governs us all, and who holds in
His hands the destiny of all mankind.
Capt. Martin j.. Warner, Co. ga" and
! Lieut.. Lemuel l.. Spooner, Co, CT" stood
with us on parade at Duvall's Bluffs, Au-
gust 81, 1863, our last regular muster, and
in consequence of i'll health obtained leave
of absence and started for home few days
afterward.
Lieut. Spooner breathed his last in the
Officers Hospital at Memphis, Tennessee,
Sept. 8, 1868, and Capt. Warner reached
Hannibal, Mo-, Sept. IA, 1868, when death
claimed him too as his victim, and to-day
we are met with the sad intelligence, that
both OF them are no more.
They will muster with us no more on
Earth. Capt. Warner was the senior officer
of our line-a good officer, a faithful friend,
noble hearted and generous, and IA man Of
sterling moral worth.
Lieut.. Spooner, although quite young,
had by his energy and untiring applica-
way up to his position as Lieutenant from
I'd Sergeant, having been twice promoted
He was good soldier, fine and promi-
sing young officer, of noble moral and So
clal virtues.
But they have gone from us, and we miss
them; therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of Captain
Martin J. Warner and Lieut.. Lemuel L.
Spooner, the commissioned officers of the
S6th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry,
mourn the loss of two of their best officers
two fond associates and brothers in arms,
and that while we miss them from among
us, and deplore their loss, we will ever re-
member them as officers worthy of emula-
ton and for their moral and social virtues.
ResOtved, That in their death, the Regi-
ment has sustained an irreparable loss, a
wife and children have lost fond husband
and father,-a father and mother dutiful
son, society two of its brightest ornaments,
and the country two of its brave defenders,
two patriots who were willing to give, and
who gave, their lives in its defence.
Resotoed, That the officers of this regi-
| ment hereby tender to the families of the
deceased, their sympathy and coincidence
| in their hour of deep affection.
| RESOLVED, That the foregoing preamble,
statement and resolutions, be hereby en-
dorsed and spread upon the records Of this
regiment, and that copies of them be sent
to the families of the deceased-a copy each
to the Burlington Hawk-Eye, Abba Union
! and Appanoose Democrat, with request
that they publish the same.
All of which was unanimously endorsed
and adopted as the sentiment of the meet
ing. c. w. KITTRIDGE.

THE PEACE MEN AND THE MoB.-The
New Gospel of Peace, according to st. Ben
Jamln, Part I'd, contains the following no.
| tice of the proceedings of the blessed peace
| makers who composed the New York mob:
And 1t came to pass that aman in Got ham
met some of the Pahdees, and they suffered
him to talk to them.
And he asked them, Why do we fight the
Fleece? And they answered and said, Be-
cause the Fleece began the riot by with
standing US when we would have driven
| out the officers who cast the lots against US.
For If we may but do our own will, we in
deed would trouble no man.
And he asked them, Why do We STAY the
Officers of Unculpsalm? And they answer
ed and said, Because they turn their swords
upon the people. For have not the scrbes
| of the Kopur-hedds and the Phlunkees and
he Ouecnees told you that we are the peo-
Pile?
And again he asked them, But why do
We Stay the Niggahs, which are meek and
lowly, and withstand no man, but flee be-
fore you? And he said: Yea, verify. And
| they answered him, Behold thou hast said
it. We Stay the Niggah because he is the
cause of the war, and we are apostles of the
| new gospel of peace, which we do minister
unto you with fire and sword this day.
And if the Niggah chooseth to submit, he
hath the right to submit. For we have
vowed a vow that no man shall fight against
his will; and this is the right of the Niggah
under the Great Covenant. And if he re-
sisteth, then all the more will we put him
| to death. For we stand by the Great Gov
enant.
And after five days the tumult was end
ed. But for five days there were murder
ings and burnings and destruction. And
the smoke of that city went up day and
night like the smoke of a furnace; and the
air was filled with groanings, and with the
cry of women and children to whom was
administered the new gospel of peace.
| Telegraph facilities are rapidly increas-
ing along the Pacific slope. A line is now
constructing from San Francisco to Port
land, Oregon. Workmen are now at work
extending the wires from Sacramento
along the line of the Pacific Railroad,
across the Sierra Nevada, making it, when
completed, the third line belonging to thus
company crossing those mountains. Men
are also at work in Carson Valley extend
ing the line westward from this side to
meet it.
The lawyers in Warren county, Pa, have
petitioned the judge to assign all but two
OF them to some respectable paying busl-
| ness, and to lay tax upon them for the
