Dear Sir; Yours of the Dist Sept,

you ask pardon for addressing me, at this time
This is granted, for think a man who will hide
behind a stone fence when in command of as good
a company as Co. F and 60 unpunished, should
be pardoned for any ofense Well, you say you
feel il your duty to write to me, knowing that
was good Democrat, and hope that still am
/ am, and hope ever to remain such, and that
will vote the ichols Democratic ticket IhGre no
doubt, but it will be the Union Democratic tick
e. can't see the Democracy in you, nor your
ticket. We have no use for such men or tickets
in the army think you have got on the wrong
side IhGue not seen a rebel IN sir months IrhO
tras not a VdIlandigham man. Why are you
not down here among your brethren-cdn you
tell can-because you did not find stone fences
in the rear Of all picket posts. You ask me
to give the tickets you sent me to all good Dem
ocrats in Co. +, and have them vote them. Well,
if wanted 80 or 40 pair of army brogans taken
away from my rear, | would know Of no better
way of getting it done than TO ask the boys Of

sion are now fairly up for discussion and action.
The Military Question has been presented in
about every form that Is favored by anybody,
and the contest in regard to it IS now in order at
any time There is first bill providing for an
active organization Of the Militia Of the State;
then bill for an amendment Of the existing law;
and proposals Of various kinds to organize por-
ton of the Militia, and other propositions which
will reach the question in any form that mem
bers may prefer. There is. evidently, strong
party in favor OF amending the existing law; but
there is, at the same time, an impression that to
do this will not satisfy the demands Of the people.
The Appropriation Bill WAS taken up this
morning. In relation to the subject Of Appro-
priations, Mr.. Chandler Of Woodstock made
some statements to show that, if bills now pend
ing before the House should eventually be pass
ed there would be expenditures past and pres
receive amounting to two and half millions Of
dollars, for payment of which provision would
need to be made. These expenditures, which he
particulari1ed were military expenses OF various
kinds He thought. if said bills became laws, It
might be expedient to impose State Tax much
greater than that proposed in the bill. The House
ordered the bill to lie.

Dear Times The 9th Iowa has finally
left jackson, after repose of quietudc Of
nearly five months, in that pleasant locality.
The place has been entirely evacuated by
our forces. Our regiment left there on the
9Th inst. for Lagrange, distance of 45
miles, at which place it was supposed that
we would remain for several weeks; we
accordingly fixed our tents to suit the
weather, by elevating them from the ground
two or more feet SO as to admit of as much
air as possible. We went actively to work
to make hunks out of as suitable material
as we could find, and after several hours at
work in making such preparations as would
add to our comfort and convenience, we
rested for the night. When morning ar
rived we received marching orders for this
place, which is 10 miles west of Lagrange,
on the Memphis Road.
The Mobile and Ohio Road, running from
Columbus to Corinth, is now abandoned,
as is also the Mississippi Central, running
from Jackson to Grand junction. The
troops which usually guarded those Reads,
have been sent to Grant at Vicksburg,
making stirring time in Memphis for a
few weeks, as it was the place of randez-
vous for the troops preparatory to leaving
for Vicksburg. have been Informed that
10000 men left that point last week as a
reinforcement to Grant, so that from all
appearance it seems he is to have sufficient
force at his command for any emergency,

main at this place for at least two months
to guard the Road at this point, which runs
from Memphis to Corinth, the length OF
which is about 100 miles, and it will have
to be protected as long as the war lasts, as

Is THIS Democracy AT the late con-
vention Of the Democracy Of Illinois, a
series of resolutions were adopted of which
the following appears to be the most OBJ
jectionable:
"The further offensive prosecution of this
war tends to subvert the Constitution and
the Government, and entail on this nation
all the disastrous consequences of msrule
and anarchy"
The only reasonable Interpretation Of the
above resolution is that we must let the
insurrectionists and traitors 60 on unop-
posed in their work of rupturing this Union.
We cannot believe the Democracy of iii.
nois are SO mad as to endorse any senti.
,nents of this character, whatever their
leaders may do.
