HEADQUARTERS OF PRovosr MARSHALL
For the Sd Congressional Dist, Iowa.
DuBURuE, Nov. I'd, 1868.
7othe Editor eff the Times In answer
to various inquiries permit me to state
through your columns that the quota of
this Congressional District under the last
call for 5000 is 1854 There remains to
the credit of Iowa an excess over all for. |
mer calls 1881 men. The proportion Of
this excess properly belonging to this dis |
trict being deducted from its quota of 1864
leaves 1902 as the number of men to be |
raised. This last number will probably be |
slightly reduced by the credit Of few |
volunteers recently enlisted, of the number
OF which l am not informed. lam further
advised that men who enlist under the
last call will be credited to sub districts
from which they come, and l understand
that quotas will be assigned to enrolment
districts SO that the draft will probably
take place only in those sub districts which
fail to FIJI their quotas by volunteering.
Very respectfully yours,
SuUBAEL p. ADAMS,
Captain and Provost Marshal.

Vandalism.

Vandalism.
Judge Murdoch, Of this city, was one Of
the army election commissioners. While
on his mission he wrote some excellent
letters to the Netos. In late one from
Vicksburgh he vents the indignation which
every MAN must feel in Witnessing what
he describes. Murdoch has an eye for the
beautiful-trees, shrubbcry and floral gems
are his special admiration, and we do not
wonder that he almost swears, in type, at
the wanton destruction of such splendid
city ornaments. He says:
Costly edifices, rural retreats, decorated
halls, all perish through wantonness. All
along the beautiful streets of Vicksburg
are shade trees Of every name, to which
daily are tied horses and mules until they
are stripped Of bark and withcr and die
Not shade tree will be left in the city to
put forth its leaves next year. A most
beautiful hedge Of red cedars is utterly
destroyed by the mules that are tied to it
to strip it Of its bark. The most beautiful
and tasty flower gardens were going in the
same way. On every plantation outside
the city the same spirit of destruction RACES.
Orchards are cut down, and everything
planted to make the earth look lovely is up
rooted or despoiled
The government may think that the
more. destruction, the more vandalism that
is committed here on this people and their
property, the better they will love the
Union when they return. 1t may be we'll
enoug b to try the experiment, but I fear
the mistake. My knowledge of human
nature teaches me better, and as an humble
citizen of this great republic enter my
protest against laying this country a wide
waste of ruins, so that neither soldier, me-
gro, Union man, or rebel can take any good
from it.
