From the ed Iowa Infantry.

IUKA, Nov. 4, 1s63.-MR. EDIToR-Dear
Sir: After spending thirteen months in
garrison and outpost service, we again
take the field. We struck our tents on
the slst uit., at La Grange, Tennessee,
and started, as we supposed, for Chatta-
nooga. We arrived at Iuka about 2 O'Clock,
on the morning of the 1st inst, and pitched
our tents on beautiful hill about half
mile from the village. Iuka has been a
beautiful place. There are mineral springs
here, which, before the war, afforded a
place of resort for the wealthy and fash
lonable, but now, like every other village,
where our army has been, it shows the des-
olating effects Of war. The regiment is
healthy, and in fine condition every way
Notwithstanding it has been mutilated by
three of the bloodiest battles of the war, il
still numbers four hundred and fifteen
muskets, carried by as brave men as ever
stood upon the battlefield, men whose
ears are not easily shocked by the roar OF
musketry and artillery,-men who have
unless ordered to do so, and stand ready at
all times to do their duty.
Two more have lately been added to the
long list of promotions from this regiment.
Adjutant G, l.. Godfrey has been promo
ted to Major in the First Alabama cavalry,
| a regiment made up of Union refugees from
that State. Major Godfrey was a very eff
anu Solucu tuc AcSpeSl VI
all by his soldierly conduct, and he will
no doubt win honor for himself and his
country in his new position. Capt. Ensign
of Company has been promoted te Ma
jor in the 9th Iowa cavalry. He richly
deserves the position, and will vindicate
the wisdom of the appointment.
Mr.. Campbell, Sergeant Major of this
regiment, has been promoted Adiutant.-
There is no question as to the wisdom Of
the appointment. He has worked his way
up to the position by continued faithful
service, and being a first class business
man, he will make an efficient officer.
l presume we will take up our march
soon for Chattanooga, in few hours, ant
will soon be engaged in the great, and
| hope the final struggle of the war. And i
the Second Iowa has an opportunity, unde
the efficient leadership of Col. Weaver, i
will add another page to it's record alread,
so brilliant. T. ANDUs.

NJ There have been limitations thrown

10 There have been limitations thrown
out that Mr.. Emerson Etheridge, Clerk of
the House of Representatives., who was
made such out of the rather too abundant
kindness of the last Congress, has colluded
with the Northern Copperhead members
in fine scheme to secure the election of
one of the reprobates to the Speakership.
We don't know what truth there is in
the reports, but we do not apprehend any
probability of its success. We guess that
a Clerk will not be permitted to foist pre-
tended members into that body, on any
pretense, in times like these. But we re-
fer to the matter because of the lesson it
conveys. Here is man who was made
Clerk because he was Tennesseean and
professed to be truly loyal. 1t turns out
that he is only loyal upon conditions and
those such as he chooses to make. A loyal
House made him Clerk and now it is sup
posed he will seek to aid in putting the
control of the next House into the hands
of the enemies ofthe country, and the most
malignant opponents of the Government!
This should teach us not to confide too
much in mems professions. 1t is another
warning of the danger of putting men into
positions of trust without knoWing that
they will prove faithful in all emergencies.
Etheridge can do no harm in this in
stance. Yet we do not doubt he is quite
enough disposed to do it if he could.
