LOYALTY IN EAST TENNEssEE.-A CORES
pendent writing from Knoxville relates the
following instance. ....g
When we were at Morristown, and getting
on the cars for Greenville, an old country
man from back some twenty miles came rid
ing into town. Al he did not know we
were there, no looked 1T the brigade while
with astonishmsnt. When the state o.
things began to flash upon him, he asked il
we wern't tho blue-beliied Yankees" and
As soon As he was sat SIZED, he went almost
crazy, shouting " Glory to God, they have
come at last" then sinking his heels into bis
horses sides, he went galloping through the
town, waving his hat and shouting away,
"Glory to God they've come at last!'
It was not long, however, before he was
back and coaxing some of the boys TO- 60
home with him. He said it wern't only
twenty miles; if they would 60 home With
him "~he know'd the old woman would 80
crazy" He said she had been saving
thirteen jars Of apple butter ever since lsst
summer, for the Yankees to eat" When
our boys ted him there would be fight at
the salt works, and that that was our destin-
alton. he wanted to borrow gun and 60
along, saying the rule Of the rebels was over
now, and his was come, and he was "arter
revenge like four.year old"

GOVERNMENT SEcuRIrIss.-Up to three
o'clock Of the afternoon Of the I'd inst, the
whole number of $50 bonds sold amounts
to $3.50 1906, 800. OF the whole sum author
lied by law to be issued, $14O, 000, 900 are
thus yet remaining unsold. At the rate at
which the loan is now being taken up, only
forty days will be required to complete the
subscription. Last week it lacked only &c.
900 Of reaching q 100000. II is believed,
however, that this is'a somewhat larger than
natural state Of sale in consequence OF the
general desire to procure bonds beginning to
draw interest on the LIST of November. There
has been recently an active demand from
Europe, particularly from Germany and Hol-
land. A million has been bought BY one
house, during the last month, for its foreign
customers.
The internal revenue receipts last week
were 1851, 766.

LETTER FROM DAVENPORT.
-4---~.-. ,... DAVENPORT, Iowa,
Oct. 80. 1868.

:. e .-.~.-..,... DAvs.roar, Iowa.
Oct. 80. 1858. I
Friend Perkins II have few items Of
news which may be somewhat interesting to
you.
Gov. Kirkwood was in town the first Of
the week to make arrangements for raising
our quota Of troops under the new call for
800, 900. The Governor and Adjutant Gen.
eral Baker favored the raising of new regi-
ments as the best and quickest mode Of get.
ting the men into the field, while the Provost
Marshal General Of this Stats-M,j. Dun
can-insisted on putting the men into the
old regiments. In order to settle the mat
ter tho Governor telegraphed to Washington
and received an answer stating that all men
raised under the new call must be put into
the old regiments. In order to obtain the
required number Of mon, recruiting agents
are to be appointed for each county by the
Provost Marshal. These agents are to re-
ceivc SIS for each recruit delivered to the
Provost Marshal, and $25 for each veteran
volunteer SO delivered. The new recruit re-
ceives bounty Of 1902, and the veteran vol
unteer $402. 1t is the opinion Of nearly
every one with whom have conversed, that
the quota for this State will not be filled be-
fore the day set for drafting. under the pres
ent arrangement, but that it would have been
filled, and more too, if new regiments had
been raised. The quota for this State is
1910, but after deducting the number raised
over and above our quota in all previous
calls, we shall have but about 1000 to raise
in Iowa. r-.. .... ... ..a.
The 9th Cavalry is filling up very fast
There are now about 900 men in camp, and
enough reported to more than fill the regi-
ment. The 9th will be one Of the best regi-
ments ever raised in the State. 1t will prob
ably remain here till spring. aA
The 9Th Cavalry left for Dixie on the 18th.
The men had not received all their horses or
arms when they left. They were ordered to
proceed to Louisville, KY, and from there to
Chattanooga. a
About 500 rebel prisoners have been or
dered to this place to 60 into winter quarters
on the Island. The Barracks which have
been built for their accommodation are about
ready for use.
The 4th Iowa Battery, commanded BY Capt.
Goode, is now full and in quarters at Camp
Roberts.
Snow fell last night to the depth Of about
two inches.

AN IMPORTANT VIEW o. THE WAR.
There has been great diversity Of opin.
ion among prominent Union men as to what
should be the political status Of the seeded
States when the Federal power shall have
been restored. At . meeting Of the State
Union League Of Massachusetts,, held in Bos.
ton last week, Major General Butler made .
speech, in which he gave his views on this
point, and they strike Us % being eminently
sensible, and founded in right and justice.
Gen. Butler addressed the meeting at length,
taking ground with those who believe that
the seeded States have annihiated them
selves % States, while the power Of the Gen.
eral Government still remains intact over
their territory.
He opposed the position Of member Of
the cabinet that the rebel corhmonwealths, by
throwing down their arms should be received
into the Union with unimpaired rights, with
their old local institutions. His reasons for
debating terms before allowing the incorpo.
ration into the Union of those heretofore hos.
tie sections, sprang from considerations vi.
tally affecting the interests and safety Of the
nation. IL the Confederate States are read.
mittcd and their representatives take their
seats in Congress before some radical change
is effected, what guarantee is there that the
Federal National debt will not be repudiated,
or made to stand upon the alternative that
the Confederate debt must likepise be paid ;
and let this question come before Congress
and all the appliances Of corruption would be
set in motion to secure such decision IA wo'd
place THE FEDERAL AND REBEL IN.
DEFICIENCIES UPON THE SANE FOOT
ING.
Gen. Butler contepded that the rebel States
must be regarded As destroyed, or it would
be almost impossible to choose another Pres.
ident. for the reason that no candidate likely
TO be elected would receive such a support
irtthe North Is to give him majority Of the
whole electoral college. constituted Of all the
States, both loyal and rebel. Transfer the
question to the House Of Representatives,
where each commonwealth casts only one
vote, and a majority Of such votes is required,
and the difficulty will be greatly increased.
The policy Of safety and justice was to restore
the Union in the South only as fast as the
principles Of freedom and loyalty are extend
ed over the now rebel domain.

The Herald's Washington special says that
about 10000 or $4,000 New York soldiers
have been provided With furloughs to 60
home to vote.
That is perfectly right. The ,nen did
not lose their citizenship by entering tho
army, and have As great an interest in the
political affairs of the State As they ever had.
Besides II there is no enemy that they can
Immediately confront in Virginia with the
bayonet, and there is one in New York that
they can defeat with the ballot it 10 eminent
" proper that they be transferred home to
aid in putting down Northern Copperheads,
who are the very effective allies Of Southern
rebels. In either case it il all for the good
Of the Union cause, and mono but traitors will
find fault.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
writing from Des Moines, pays the following
merited compliment to Hon. Thomas F.
Withrow, the able and hard working chair
man Of tho Iowa Republican State Contra
Committee: t@i
A credit here to Hon. Thomas F. Withrow,
will be in place. To him az chairman of our
Republican State Central Committee are we
largely indebted for the complete and deci-
sive victory achieved. A man Of great ener.
gy and superior judgment, he was judiciously
selected for the place assigned him. He en-
tered into the canvass with the same indus
and determination to deserve victory which
in his profession, has gained for him lucra-
tive practice, and prominent position for him
at the: iowa bar. Unacqusinted with defeat,
and heart for his country A. large as two
hundred pounds of loyal flesh and blood can
hold and nourish, he was perhaps the man
Of all men best fitted for the leader of our
loyal hosts. The perfect organization Of our
party in every county Of the State, the
prompt attention given to every call for light
and help, ard the harmonious working Of his
systcmatized plans attest the heart was in
the work and the head equal to the task.

FRox ViReENIA.-From New York tele-
graphic reports, dated the End, We condense
the following: -....-.
Headquarters have received advices that
Lee is disposed to fight, and Meade's inten-
ton was to accommodate him at the nearest
opportunity. There are those, however, who
continue to think Lees army has been mate
rally reduced, and any show Of intention to
Fight is merely to conceal weakness.
The army Of the Potomac is located in
An excellent position for its line Of supplies.
Should any contingency arise, it can with
equal facility be concentrated either to ad-
vance, or repel an attack of the enemy.
1t is known that Meade on one side, and
Lee on the other are maneuvering for favora-
bic positions; but the opinion prevails in
military circles here that Lee will not risk .
battle outside Of his entertainments on the
south side Of the Rapidan, which caa be held
by small force against great army, and
leave him at liberty to send part OF his
forces to flank the attacking body, and COM
pei it as before, to fall back north Of the Rap.

There however remains to the credit of
Iowa 1881 men, tho surplus over oil former
calls, which deducted from the above, leaves
seven thousand six hundred and twenty nine
as the quota, subject to still further reduction
by credit Of volunteers recently recruited.
BY the above apportionment it appears
that our Congressional District 1.-THE 6th) is
required to raise sos men, though tho sur.
plus over former calls may reduce the num-
Der one or two hundred. We have but two
months to do the work in, and recruiting
should be vigorously prosecuted at once
II the men arc not forthcoming on the 9th
Of January next, drafting will be resorted to.
We believe the 9Th District can raise its
quota il the proper men take hold Of the mat
ter in time. It rests with the Provost Mar.
shall to appoint recruiting officers in the va
rious parts Of the District, and until that is
done not much can be effected probably
We have a. yet seen no notice Of the ap-
pointmcnt Of such officers in tho 9th, but a
soon as we receive the intelligence will mako
it public. together with any other iniorma-
ton we may be able to obtain having bear
ing on this subject. We hope The men So
lected for recruiting officers will be Of the
right stripe, for the result will in . great
measure depend on this.
