CAMP 35th Iowa REGIMENT,

DrcxPoRr, La, April 81, 1868.
FR1END MAHIN The "Muscatinc regi
ment has again packed up and in an hour
will be on foot tramp for Grand Gulf, Miss;
distance about 60 miles. The heavy rains
last night made mud, and this, our first over
land march of any consequence, will try the
"bottom" of the "forty dollar conscripts
IA term applied in a joking way by the old
regiments to all new regiments that received
the advance bounty, &c).
Our regiment is in first rate condi ion.
Companies II and E arrived from Island No.
10 on Saturday. About dozen of company
Els mon (Irish) were left at Memphis, and
are reported as des .rters. They are probably
Thayer's subscribers.
All our tents and baggage will be left be-
hind, except knapsacks. .- b.
The feeling among the troops here, that
Vicksburg will soon be ours, is universal
The army has not been idle here of late,
by any means. All agree that the conflict
will be bloody one but the rebel stronghold
must fall at any cost. A large portion of the
troops have preceded US to New Carthage
ar Grand Gulf, and more will follow.
Our destination, probably, is up the Black
river, to operate in the rear of the enemy's
position. %
We are now part of the Sd brigade, COM
posed Of the 9Th, 18th, SSd and 35th Iowa reg,-
ments, commanded by Col. J. j. Woods, Of
the 18th regiment, and Sd division under
Gen. futile; and 10Th army corps, Gen.
Sherman commanding.
The 9Th Iowa (Col Geddes,) is the best
drilled battalion that have met in the ser
vice. We are proud to be brigaded with
them. We are, now purely an "Iowa
Brigade" and have also the Cd Iowa battery
in the division. We have been in our pres
emit camp ten days; and our stay has been
rendered peculiarly interesting and pleasant
by the privilege Of exchanging visits with
our friends in the 18th, 18th and ] 9Th regi-
ments, encamped seven miles above ct is
reported that they started for below yester-
day. The :" boys" of the 1lth and 35th
were so eager to meet that heard it sug-
gested by an officer that the two regiments
meet half way between Duckport and Milf
ken's, stack arms" and "go in.'
The members of the g" Iowa brigade :"
(Gen. Crocker's,) are the healthiest looking
set of men that have seen in the army.
They are soldiers out aud out, and a noble
set OF fellows - ego .r-s;.,l ..- sr ID.
The guns at Vicksburg made considerable
jarring in this vicinity about 4 o'clock this
morning. More running the blockade.
Yours, &C., .asm1ol HENRY.

FRox THE 35rH IowA.-By a private letter
from friend in this regiment, dated April
2Sd, we learn that it is encamped at Duck
Point, IL miles above Vicksburg, on the Lou
isiana shore. Our friend writes 95sE saot
Q" Night before last went down to within
three and half miles of Vicksburg, to see as
much of the running of the blockade by six
transports, as L could. The cannonading was
terrific. Five Of the boats got through-one
(the Tigress) running aground, was sunk.
The pilots had the wheels with which to
steer the boats outside the pilot house, so that
they would not be struck by shivered timbers,

From the Oskaloosa Herald i
Several weeks ago, member of the 33d
Iowa regiment died in one of the hospitals at
St. Louis. A little while previous to his death
he said to comrade who had been with him
for some time, that he wished to make dis
closure of secrets in his possession that he
was dying with two opposite oaths on his
conscience; that when he joined the army he
had sworn to bear true allegiance to the Gov
eminent of the United States, and that he had
taken another oath in direct conflict with this.
The dying man went on to state that he was
a member of. the Knights Of the Golden
Circle, and had volunteered for the express
purpose of organizing Lodges Of that Order
among the soldiers. He then gave his COM
rade (from whom we get these PARTICULARS the
hailing-sign, grips and passwords of the
Order, including the signs to be used in bat
tie, or when soldier desired to desert to the
enemy. He also stated that the headquarters
of that organization in this State were at
Dubuque, and that his authority and instruc-
tons came from there. Ha'a.-s.,
After the death of this man, his comrade,
wishing to test the truth of some things that
he had divulged, wrote to Dubuque, intimat-
ing that he would not be unwilling himself to
continue the business of organizing lodges. 1t
seems that Mr.. Mahony was absent, and the
letter was answered by Mr.. Hutchins, who at
that time was one Of the editors of the Du-
buque Herald Our informant was readily
taken into the confidence of Mr.. Hutchins,
who wrote to him that, as soon as Mr. Mahony
returned, he would send him all needful in
structions for organizing lodges among the
soldiers, assuring him that tha. was the best
place to work. Mr.. Hutchins also wrote that
the Democrats were determined to have con-
troll of affairs in this State, that they would
carry the election this fall, ''peaceably if they
could, but forcibly if they must" and farther,
that either Mahony or Dean would be their
candidate for Governor, which ever appeared
to be the most available.
| We publish the above statements, remark.
ing briefly that we get them from man that
we have known for years and consider entire
ly truthful and trustworthy. They furnish
additional evidence of what many have be-
lieved to be true, to-wit: that there is trea-
sonable organization in this State which is
doing all it can to corrupt and demoralize the
army, to encourage assertions, and to plunge
