Editor Of "Transcript,'
Sir,
l noticed
to day aletter written 10y some one in
the 18th Iowa, bearing date July sth,
and published in Il e Ninton eagle
The writer signs his name Justice
| think Mr.. "Jusitice" deals very un.
justly with our fellow townsman, Col.
Council. and the Major Of our regiment.
Abiding to the battle at Champion hills
he states that the Col and Maj. of the
2slh showed the white feather &C.
Now it IS my impression that Mr.. "Jus
ti,.e" is either misinfurmed or that there
is little political or military jealousy
connected with said correspondence.
was present at the bloody struggle
at Champion Hills, whether Justice"
was or not, I do not know, but l do
know that Col. Council was with the
regiment until the last man was forced
to retire by the overwhelming force the
enemy brought against us. The ap.
earance of such falsehood in print,
from our own, we might say neighbors,
strikes the whole re-. iment with surprise
for Col. Council is ever at hispost, and
such base lie is met with volley Of
contempt from the whole regiment.
l would respectfully refer Mr.. Justice
to Gen. Hovcy's reports after the recent
battles, IL which he gives to Col. Con
nell special praise for the manner in
which he handled his regiment during
the bloody fight at Champion Hills.

Gov. Aiken, Of South Carolina, has
been incarcerated in the Libby Prison,

The Rock Island Argus gives us an
idea of how much the citizens of that
place are annually taxed to support the
whisky trade. Warmers distillcry pays
an excise tax, monthly, to the United
States, amounting to over $4,000, max
ing over $4,000 annually, in taxes to
the United States, for the privilege of
manufacturing high wines. The State,
county, town, school, city, and other
taxes upon the establishment are in ad-
dition to the above.

The Athens county (Ohio) "True
Democrat" has hauled down the name
Of V;ssndigham, and refusee to support
him longer. It says that it has IRE.
fnteable proof ofhis disloyaity which it
dare not, at present, make public.
speaking Of him it says:
He j. rebel at heart, and would
now be in the council chamber or army
OF the Southern Confederacy, but he
can be more serviceable to that cause
by remaining in The North. We would
Gather melt our type for bullets and
our press into cannon balls to fire at the
rebels than 10 use them to promote his
election"
Copperi,eads, make note Of the
above and reflect upon il.
It is said that jeff Davis talks of
raising an army Of slaves We fear
the news is too good to be true.

AN EXPLANATION. The report in the
Nesos, two weeks ago of the marriage Of
Chas. S. Worden to Miss Fox of West
Union was unfounded. The person who
did the local for the news, for that week
wishes to say that he was informed by
some West Union man Of the marriage and
supposed it to be true. As Charley is re
garded here as one of our most excellent
young men and as the family Of the young
lady was known to the writer to be one of
tho first in Fayette County he saw no rea-
son 10 doubt the report. 1t is a matter Of
report, however, that some unpleasantness
Of feeling has resulted from its publication.

can have suffered by the association Of names
equally respectable. This statement would
have been given to the Ne,os Of this week
but forgetfulness forbade It.

a half and half speech, Senator Trumbull
tried to console the wounded hearts Of the
Times haters, but for his manly defence of
free press and of the constitution Of his
country, he was Kissed by the men who
carried him into power on the very issue
they now ignore. Jennison, of Kansas,
spoke few words Of blood and gas against
all who did not go for Burnside, and the
meeting played out.
This little Chicago row is significant of a
change in the feelings of the people on the
subject of arrests and suppression. Every
man who values his own freedom will be
careful how he justiies illegal encroach-
ments on the rights of others. Senator
Trumbull in brief but mastery manner
showed the danger of being so patriotic
as to lose your own liberty in an effort to
destroy that of your political opponents.

81H Iowa CAvALRY.-This regiment Of
cavalry, probably the last volunteer organi-
cation to be Gale from this state, is now
in the direct line of organization. The
regiment will be differed by many officers
who have seen honorable service, and will
rapidly therefore be put in a high state of
discipline and efficiency. The cavalry
service offers many more advantages to the
heroic hearts Of the country than are pre-
scented in the infantry. 1t is higher arm
Of the service. There is none of the ex-
hausting picket duty, so fatal and danger.
Gus men; no tedious marches in dewey
grass, CT through the mud Of bottomless
roads; no exposure in the fording OF
streams, ETC. The arms are perfect and ex-
tensive, to- wit: Colts carbines, navy pis-
tolls, and the heavy and terrible sabre. 1t.
Tichenor, tf this town, who is recruiting
for this regiment will visit various portions
Of this county in short time for the pur.
pose of filling up company for this regi.
mcnt. He has seen nearly two years ser.
vice, and from long personal acquaintance
with him, We can say that he is eminently
qualified to CALAMITY lead brave men te
honorable work. siG
Recruits receive $4,000 bounty, s25 Of
which together with one months pay and
$500 premium will be paid in advance.
Apply to Lieut.. Tichenor, or to Geo. W

Eds. Times BY request of many init.
mate friends of the late D. K. Hobart l
wrote, last week, brief obituary of him
it was published in your paper without the
signature which l usually attach to my
communications. The request was made
of me because Of long personal acquain-
lance with the lamcnted dead. Submitted
the notice to other friends of the deceased,
and it was universally approved as truthful
and inofensive to the dead or living. A
writer in the News of this week with
fippancy scarcely creditable to the literature
of second class bar-room, calls the
author of that obituary ''fooi," because
the deceased was declared to be not "a
model man in the estimation Of sectarian
scalots" 1t surprises others as well as
myself that there should be, in this enlight-
ened age Of Christian liberality, even one
apologist, in our city, for that universally
condemned class Of rcligionists tabooed
years ago as ''sectarian zealots." had
thought that the fact named was creditable
to our friend and not uhcomplimentary to
that common sense liberation Of opinions
which imagined was the distinctive fea-
ture Of McGregor society. His elevation
to the highest civil honors Of our city,
proves that he was appreciated as a man
his acquaintances well know that he was
not ''zealot" ..- !.
As no imputation on the Christian belief
or character Of my deceased friend can be
charged from the language used, l am
content to waive the use Of epithets with
the Ne,os writer, and now beg to refer him
to a portion of that Gospel of which he
may be an expounder. He will oblige me-,
and benefit himself, by turning to Mathew
With, 22d verse, the last lines Of which read
land whatsoever shall say unto his brother,
Thou fool, shall be in danger Of hell FIRE y

UNJUST AND UN0ENERoUs.-In circular
letter sent out by the committee Of arrange
lnents Of the great mass meeting 20 be held
in this city on the 5Oth Of June, the objects
Of the call, as stated, are very praiscworthy
with the single exception, which we quote
as follows: ito rebuke that disloyal and
ianatical spirit so often made manifest by
discouraging and disparaging our brave
boys, by those who were extremely otficious
in urging them off to the tented field while
n draft was imminent, and who now openly
and unreservedly engage in reasonable
designs against our common country"
Now this is directly intended as slant
a, the Democrats of northern Iowa, and in
Justice to them we are bound to characterize
;: rs unjust and ungenerous. Nay, more
il is prejudicial to the best interests of the
country by engendering bad feeling between
loyal citizens Of this and neighboring coun.
ties. We know, that Democrats and Re-
publicans worked together in perfect accord
10 provide tho government with Iowa's
quota Of troops. Many Of these men left
heir professions and trades, freely spend
ing their time and money for the benefit of
,he cause. To stigmatise the motives Of
enc is to stigmatse the motives Of the other,
and bring odium upon many Of the honor.
.blc gentlemen whose names are appended
10 the circular. a.
As to the encouragement and disparage-
ment Of our gallant Iowa soldiers. that is
mythical, and it is high time that sund'y
over. jealous persons should stop filling the
ears of our soldiery with these falsehoods.
In conclusion; the loyalty Of one man is
not advanced by q depreciation Of the
loyalty Of his .neighbor, and this feature Of
the invitations is very unfortunate.
