Young Mems Library Associatiou

Young Mems Library Association.
Mr.. EDlroR Il was present a. the
Court House on Thursday evening at the
meeting for establishing Library Asso-
citation. There was good attendance.
The Rev. Mr.. Thatcher was called to the
chair. The Committee appointed to can
vass the city reported subscriptions to the
amount of Sl,400. A few short ad-
dresses were delivered, and all the pre-
liminaries were adopted for effecting an
organization.
Tha. We are going to have a Library
Association, nobody needs to Doubt
More than hundred of our citizens have
already purchased stock in the concern
We regard this as a most cheering token.
1t indicates wide spread want, and that
want will doubtless be supplied.
Some introductory remarks from the
Chair led to short discussion respecting
the sum required to introduce our Asso-
citation to healthful and respectable ex-
istence. On the one hand it was held
that a fourteen hundred dollar Library
will be a thing of rather diminutive pro.
porions-that the necessities of the city,
and the honor Of all concerned, call for
five thousand dollars at least---and that
such an enterprise deserves the liberal
Isupport of our merchants and bankers,
aud other substantial men, all OF which
seemed perfectly just aud right. On the
other hand, it was contended, that it is
better to begin on a small scale and grow
graduaily-,hat for our present purpose .
small sum is better than large sum-in
q word, that five thousand dollars would
be altogether 100 much. hope, Mr. Ed
itor. YOU will not be surprised when /
tell you that 81 couldn't see it." Five
thousand dollars would be large sum to
spend in frolic, but not very largo to
found a library for the benefit of ten
thousand souls.
| The fact that our well.to-do citizens are
investing SO lightly in this concern is the
only unpleasant feature of the movement
Our men Of small means are taking hold
in large numbers, and that is pledge ol
; success. But our substantial citizens ap.
pear to be rather wanting in public spirit
and that is. Here my ink gave

Col. Lowe .sd the FIFTH Cavalry.

A paragraph went the rounds OF the
papers some weeks ago charging that
Col. Lowe. of the Fifth Cavalry, inten-
tionally prevented that regiment from vo-
ting at the recent election. We fnd a
letter from Major Young, of the regiment,
in the Davenport Gazette, which exhon-
crates Col. Lowe entirely.
The regiment left Duck River Bridge
on the 7th Of October, expecting to return
in two days, but we're engaged in various
skirmishes with the enemy and did not
return, aud could not indeed, till after the
day for the election In the meantime
the election Commissioner remsioed there
With the baggage expecting their return,
and SO far as we can discover nobody was
at fault in the premises except the indi-
vidusl who started the injurious reports
against Col. Z owe.

was detected with couple of capes un-

some offenders such cases would become

compose the committee. We have never
attended public meeting in our city
where greater zeal and interest Was mani
tested. At least one hundred share
holders were present. Good epeeches
were made, and there was an earnest de-
sire that the young men Of Keokuk should
establish Library that will reflect credit
upon them and the city.
We trust that the prominent wealthy
men Of the town will not be backward in
rendering essential aid to this good cause.
As the clergy Of the town are in earnest
10 the matter, we feel sure Of its perma.
nent success.

PoRK PAcKING.-We have just finished
another survey Of the pork houses of Ke.
okuk. aud have ascsrtained the amount oi
business done thus fst this season by the
different packers.
The Muscatine and Des Moines papers
We see are both claimirg that those cities
have outdone any city in Iowa, and each
think that they are entitled to being called
the '.porkopolis" of the State. How far
they fall short the figures will determine.
For their benefit we will state that two
of our houses alone have packed more
hogs this season than the combined fig.
ures of both cities. There have been, in
the four different establishments, already
this season. over sixty thousand hogs
packed, and by tonight they will
numbernearly seventy thousand.
Of this number, Messrs. Goldman 4
Co. have killed about twelve thous-
aud. They were receiving lot of LOO
on Thursday, making thirty-eight hun
hundred head in the pens at the time of
our visit. They were working sew
eDtyfive hands, and were killing nine
hundred per day.
Messrs. Cleghorn l. Alexander have
killed over twenty one thousand, and were
working one hundred and ten hands. As
we stated few days ago, this is the lar
gest establishment 10 Keokuk, and their
facilities are perhaps asgreat as any house
in the West. They were killing twelve
hundred per day.
Messrs. Patterson q Timbermau had
just finished killing fine lot OF
nine hundred head, which averaged
two hundred and seventy TBS. EACH
This was one Of the finest lots of hogs that
have been brought here this season.
They were working nearly one hundred
hands, and have killed nineteen thousand
hogs.
Messrs. Bat,y s. Hamill were not work
ing a full set OF hands, there being
only fifty at work. They have killed
ten thousand. and we're killing at the
rate of six hundred per day. This firm
have killed less than any Of the others

a place in your columns, it may reach
many whose yearning hearts are seeking
any intelligence from their friends with
US. We left Camp Cleveland on Saturday
morning, after thirteen weeks hard drill
ing, in the soldiers school, preparing for
.the field of conflict Our recollections of
Camp Cleveland are Of the most pleasant
kind-the constant attention of friends
and gentlemanly officers providing us
with all the comforts and necesssries
which soldier could desire. The citizens
Of Cleveland who cheered us while passing
through the city, waving flags and hand
kerchiefs, thus showing that their hearts
and sympathy were with us, we shall ever
remember, and we believe when the hour of
trial comes the 125th will meet the expec-
tations of its friends, and the reputation it
seeks. Our ride to Cincinnati was very
pleasant; all along the route we were
greeted with demonstrations similar to
those received at Cleveland especially
would we remember the people of the
Brown House, opposite the depot at We'll
lingtOn. Their hberality was unbounded
in giving us baskets of cakes, apples, &C.,
until all had received something to satisfy
their hunger. May such people rece i've
their reward
We went aboard the steamer Diamond
at six o'clock on Sunday morning and
we're soon on the route to Louisville. We
arrived at this point on Monday. We re-
ceived and pitched our tents in time to en-
joy our first nights sleep on the tented
field.
We received our arms and equipments
on board the boat We are furnished with
the Springfield rife musket, the best arm
in the service. The boys are ell highly
pleased with their accoUtrements. We
are expecting to move soon. Four regi-

Senator Anthony of Rhode Island, who
does not speak very often, but who always
speaks to the point, administered very
pleasant rebuke the other day to those
Senators who complain because some of
those imprisoned since the rebellion broke
out have had to take the oath Of allegiance
in order to obtain their liberty. Said the
Senator:
"I cannot understand why any citizens
should refuse to take the oath Of allegiance
when called upon to do so by competent
authority. Were it not that 1 hear gentle
men upon the other side, whose loyalty
do not question, say they would not do it,
should say that no loyal American citiz-
en- could refuse 10 take it. A Senator on
the opposite side Of the chamber asked me
the other day, would you take the oath Of
allegiance on cOmpulsion2" Sir, 1 would
take it any way and every day, as GIten as
anybody wished me to take il. would be
willing to take it three times a day as
grace before meat Indeed, think there
is no form Of expression in the Language,
except the Lard's prayer, that an American
citizen can oftener take with advantage
to his souls health, than sn oath to sup
port the Constitution fthe United States"
