substantial evidences of their regard. The

patriotic songs are much more healthful ev-
eryway for this purpose than poor whiskey.

The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1863-12-12
From the 25th Iowa.

Extract of private letter, dated at Chat
tanooga, December /:
Our Division. has been in fight, and the
25th has had some men wounded. Adju-
tant Snow received a slight wound in the
shoulder; Capt. Ritner. Go. B, wounded
through the hand; Lieut.. Anderson, co. A,
flesh wound in leg; Lieut.. Dakes, Co. F,
flesh wound in thigh; Sergt. Council, Co.
D, severely wounded; Privates Farrell and
Wehmer, slightly wounded. I have not
heard the names of the rest that were
wounded. In all there were 80 wounded
in the Regiment, most of them slightly
The fight occurred near the town Of Ring
gold, on hill, called Taylor's Ridge. Some
Pennsylvania regiment went up the Ridge
with colors fying-said they would show
the Western boys how to fight. They had
no more than got up the hill until they
came down in a hurry. Then our boys
went in, and with the help of artillery, run
the rebs off the field.
The fight here has been splendid victo-
ry for US. The rebels have made but two
or three stands, but have retreated at the
sight Of our men. The town is full OF
rebel prisoners and they are arriving every
day in large squads. They are still dri-
wing the rebels towards Rome, Ga.
We do not have very good supply OF
rations here. They have only two or three
small boats running between here and
Bridgeport and they cannot bring every
thing that is needed. We are scarce OF
even hard bread.
The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1863-12-12

The merits Of this Proclamation consist
in the fact that it is timely, and presents q
method of solving the difficulties
which lie in the way Of return Of the re-
VOTED States to their position as organized
parts Of the Union. It gives to those who
are, or intend to be, loyal, an ascertained
line of conduct which will lead to that end.
1t relieves them of numerous penalties and
restores them to rights which their crimes
have Justly forfeited. The conditions are
exceedingly mild and considerate. No one
who has a right to object to them, can COM
plain of their hardship or want of kindly
consideration for the circumstances in
which the people Of the South are placed
1t is another evidence of the good hearted
ness of the President, and of his persistent
purpose of wooing back the recreants by
works of kindness.
But there are many questions growing
out of this Proclamation which we must
take time to consider. While we are Salts
fed that it is very favorableto the revolted
States, we are not quite certain that the
plan cannot be improved both for their and
our permanent welfare.

.sPray without Casing,

KossuTH, Dec. 9th, 1868.
a word to tbs protested Christian readers
of the Hd,Dk-Eye. While reading the va
rious accounts of the sufferings of the de-
enders of our liberties who are in prison
Richmond, have often thought .,. that
we ought to have. Itaappears to me if we
had the same sympathy Tor them that we
would have if they were our own sons
we would Remember them in our prayers,
evening and morning, every day. We all
believe that God is nearer of prayer;
then why not ask Him that he would de-
wise some means through human instru-
mentalities BY which the suffering soldiers
might be liberated. But some will say that
prayer will not avail anything. Then why
do we pray at all? OF one thing / am
sure, if there were more praying and less
profanity it would be better for our nation.
I saw lady few days ago who lives in
this neighborhood, whose husband is a
prisoner in Richmond. If we felt the an
guish and grief that she feels we certainly
would be earnest in our prayers. ii. g.
