30 years of unparalleled oppression, have
failed to bring to maturity, cannot but be
brought to climax by the monstrous sys-
tenn OF oppression now pursued.
The taxes, at the rate of from to 10 per
cent on yearly incomes, are duly collected
in accordance with orders issued by the
Select Revolutionary Committee. On the
other hand, a strict watch is kept to pre-
vent any Infringement Of the revolutionary
order prohibiting the payment of taxes to
the Government.
The OFFICERS oE THE SIXTH IOWA CAV
AIRY TO THE PUBLIC.-HEADQUART
9Th Iowa CAVALRY, Camp near Council
Bluffs, April 2O-The undersigned officers
of the 9th Iowa Cavalry have seen this day
the extract from the correspondence of the
Chicago Times, written from Iowa City to
that sheet, and copied into the Dubuque
Herald of April 10Th, in the following
words:
"BULLY FOR THE 6LH.-The Chicago
Times correspondent at Iowa City, in speak
of this regiment, says:
''For a week past the Iowa 9th Cavalry
has been in camp at this place, but have
now left for Sioux City. It is fine regi-
ment, and Differed by good, noble, brave
men. What is extraordinary about the
regiment is, that you can't find single
Abolitionist among them all; and, if there
was one, his peace of mind would be some
what on the decline. Every man is Of the
true blue and never thinks it a disgrace to
be called a 'copperhead,' that emblem of
liberty. They are all dissatisfied with the
policy of the Administration and say that
they did not volunteer to fight for the mig
GER This regiment will make it's mark
among the merciless Indians, and it is
good policy for the party in power to put it
out West, rather than to send it to Dixie"
The writer Of the above cannot have OBJ
tanned very reliable information as to the
sentiments of the regiment upon the sub
ject of which he writes.
The undersigned, speaking for them
selves only, would deem it most grievous
insult to be called "copperheads." Wehave
neither done nor said anything to merit
that most disgraceful epithet. We have no
sentiments whatever in common with that
class Of men. We will carry the national
flag wherever those who command us see
fit to send us.
We heartily endorse the Government and
those who are now administering it, in all
or any measures they may inaugurate to
put down the rebellion. We volunteered
to fight for the Union, to sustain the laws,
to punish traitors, North or South, and we
know of no more effective aid now being
rendered to Southern traitors by Cooper
heads" than the attempt to make simple
men think they are fighting for the "nig-
gers.''
While we are willing to go anywhere and
submit our destination entirely to the judg-
ment of those whom we are sworn to obey,
we would much prefer to have been sent at
once to Dixie, where we could do some
what toward putting down the rebellion
Next to this, we would prefer to punish
traitors and all of their kindred spirits in
the North, and in what we say we think we
ropraSopf tho sentiments of the rpOippoDf
generally. [Signed.1
