Correspondence Of the Upton Advertiser.
HELENA, ARK, March %, 'G5.
Mr.. Adrerttser:-Our regiment has
been too long unreprescnted IN your col
umns, and for this reason | venture to
send ycu a letter, hoping it may prove
Of some interest to the many friends We
have among your subscribers.
The regiment (tle 24th) has not NOV
ed its camp since the 18th Of January,
Ehen we came here, after the expedition
to White river. Our location Is as
healthy as can be found along the river !;
it is on the hills above the town, where
We will in summer, if we have to stay
here so long, get the full benefit of every
breeze that stirs, aud will, | think, be
above the deadly miasn2a of the low land
along the river. There are at this place,
six regiments Of infantry and about five
of cavalry. The infantry regiments are
the llth, 24th aud 34th Indiana, the
29th Wisconsin, and the Oath aud 28th
| Iowa. The six regiments with the 5Oth
Ohio, now doing guard duty on the va.
zoo Pass, form the 18th division of Gen
Grants army--it is under command Of
Big. Gen. Hovey. The fsrt four named
/ compose the fsrt brigade, commanded
by Brig. Gen. McGinnis, until recently
Colonel Of the llth Indiana The other
three form the second, commanded bv
Col, Kinney, of the seth Ohio. Last
week the division was on drill four times.
On the first day we were Unanswered by
divisions, General German commanding
both brigades; alterward lie commanded
our brigade alone, and Gen. McGinnis
the lst. These drills were of great ben.
ffr to us; our first practice in brigade
and | am sorry the rise Of the river pre-
vented them from berg continued this
week.
Last Sunday seven companies of the
regiment were ordered out on scout.
1t seems thvt fires had been seen in the
woods outside our lines, and we were
sent out to lean their cause. As this
was the first time we had been ordered
on such duty, the boys were all anxious
to go, but if any of them expected to get
glimpse of that nondescript animal, an
armed rebel, they were disappointed -
We made a circuit of about six miles
through the woods and returned without
seeing any signs Of an enemy. On our
route we passed small piece of rye that
stood fully knee high to person.
A Pioneer Corps is being formed in
our division. Our regiment furnishes
one lieutenant, one sergeant and 22 pri-
Yates. Go. | furnishes the lieutenant
and sergeant. The details were made on
Monday last. f. r. Brown, S. s. Todd
and u. 5. Tod' go from our company.

The Negroes.

"lu my opinion negroes are a great
evil to this nation. and | will do any
thing that is right to induce them to
leave it.-MosEs B. CHURCH, in Ad,
vertissr Of March 10Th.
One might readily believe that the
author Of the above "opinion," "reads
with care, five Democratic papers, every
week, and knows pretty well what they
say" At least, he agrees very well with
most of the Democratic papers, in regard
to the "great evil Of "negroes. Per
haps Mr.. Church will give some reasons
for his opinion, to those who do not see
it so.
l. Are the negroes to blame for being
in this country? Were they not forcibly
brought here, in the first instance, and
the rest of them born here, with as goot
right to be- here, as Moses B. Churct
himself?
2. Are they not naturally as vel
adapted to labor in the Southern State:
as any other class of men? And are they
not as much inclined to labor, ard t.
good behavior, as their masters?
3. Would not the expatriation of I,
900, 900 of laborers-producers aud con-
sumcrs-from the nation, be great loss
to the nation, in the light Of politica
economy?
T. Why-ifit be true-are the negroes
"a great evil to this nation: Is it their
fault? or the fault of those who dsspist
and abuse them, because God made then
with a skin of different color, but of the
same blood, as other men? =
Finally, what fright thing does Mr.
Church propose to "do,' to induce them
to leave the country? Is there any right
thing that can be done, etfectually to Sc
cure such a result? INQUIRER.

How oh ranged! Last Tuesday evening,
st the hour the meeting was called, tiue
thousand crowded the hall of the House
of Representatives, and before six o'clock
an auxiliary meeting was organized IN
the Senate Chamber, and for time 1t
was though. another would have to be
organized in the rotunda. The mud
was deep, bat it did not hinder great
turn out of Tie ladies, for both Houses
had due proportion Of the fair sex who
were anxious to manifest their patriotism.
Strong resolutions were passed, en-
dorsing the Administration in all their
efforts to put down the rebellion, thank
ing Congress for the acts passed the last
winter, and recommending more strin-
gent and prompt dealing with secesh
sympathizers, approving of Gen. Schenks
plan, in Baltimore, of sending them be-
yond our lines that they may enjoy the
full benefits of their preferences by being
in the land of their king.
Speeches were made by Hon. Green
Adams, of KY, Admiral Foot, Judge D.
X. Carter, of Ohio, now of this District,
Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tenn, and
Hon. Andrew johnson, of Tenn, in the
Hall CT the House, and by Gen. Martin
dale, our military Governor, Admiral
Foot. and others in the Senate cham Der.
All these speakers endorsed the Pres
ident's proclamation, those VINO had been
aud were shareholders the most emphati-
caily. Gov. johnson spoke near two
hoars, and showed the hypocracy Of the
Copperheads when they cried for peace
and compromise when they knew that
compromise would not be accepted by the
rebels if we offered it. He referred to
the proposed act in the Congress of 1860
and 1861, giving the South all the secu-
rity they could ask, which passed the
House and would have passed the Senate
had not Benjamin, Slidcll and other
Southrons refused to vote in its favor,

No, he knew .ien, aud it is we'll au-

used the election Of Republican as a
pretext to carry cot their plans. He re-
ferred to the prophecy of Gen. Jackson
in 1892, that the "uext prctext for
breaking up the Union would be tie ne
gro question CT slavery"
The Gov. said he had always been a
Democrat, and learned his Democracy

not been severe enough with the rebels

They will remain with US until the corps
is ordered to camp together.
The 9Th regiment was camped for some
time only five miles below us, and during
that time some of the boys of company
A were in our camp almost daily. Capt.
Dean and Lient McElrea made us visits
Both officers and men are in excellent
health, and their looks justiies the re-
mark made by one of them-that they
are proof against anything but bullets.
When we FIRST came to this camp there
was large trade carried on between the
town and country. Every day planters
came in with cotton and returned sup
piled with -four, salt, coffee aud tobacco,
of which articles the country back of US
is entirely destitute. As soon as Gen.
Prentiss took command, he issued an
order closing the lines entirely. He also
required all citizens living within our
lines to take the oath of allegiance to the
government or 60 beyond them. The
order in regard to trade has since been
modified so as to allow citizens to bring
in produce, but before selling it they are
required to take the oath. and no kind Of
merchandise is allowed to 20 cut.
We have received your paper contain
ing Gov Kirkwood's call upon the PEG.
PIE Of Iowa to furnish the soldiers at this
place aud before Vicksburg with sanitary
stores. All that Mrs. Wittenmyer, ia
her letter to the Governor, stated in re-
gard to the exposure of the troops dur.
ing the expedition to White river, and
the subsequent unfavorablcness of the
weather, is strictly true The first month
after our return from that expedition
was one of almost constant rain, and |
believe that this season Of the year is
not only more severe upon soldiers, but
also occasions more sickness ard deaths
among them than the heat and miasma
Of midsummer. The past month has
ben much more favorable and the health
Of the regiment has greatly improved
We are, however, greatly in need of
supply Of vegetables, and the people of
Iowa should promptly respond to the
Governor call for these articles. A
liberal supply Of them now, as warm
weather is coming on, would save the
life of many poor fellow, whose ener-
gics have been reduced by tie exposures
of winter
Company +, Of our regiment, lately
received large present Of this kind
from home. 1t consisted Of large
amount of vegetables for distribution IN
the company, aud great many boxes of
delicacies sent to the boys by their
friends at home. The freight on the
whole was paid by contribution and an
agent sent to take charge of it on the
road. The company generously divided
several barrels Of potatoes, among the
other companies of the regiment. Such
present from home, as this, would be
duly appreciated accompanies "B' and
and &C." and would be reM blessing to
the boys.

WHY DON'T WE ABUSE THE sECEs.
SIONISTS!

Some times the question is asked U.s.
"why don't you abuse the secessionists!'
Our principal answer to this interrog
asory is, that we hare abused them. We
have repeatedly denounced them as wick
ed as the abolitionists. How any person
could be any more severe upon them,
We cannot understand
Had there never been any abolitionists,
there never would have been any seces-
sionists. So We think that the best rem
edy for the disease Is to remove the cause
To this end wehave turned our attention
more particularly to showing up the wick
edne,s aud folly of abolitionism, Illus
catine Courier.
We clip the above from that delectable
sheet that has so little to say against the
rebels. $50 we think that the best rem.
edy for the disease is to remove the cause.
We are happy to agree with the Courier
in one thing at least, but we propose to
look farther for the real "cause.' The
Courier says, "Had there never been
any abolitionists there never would have
been any sccesssonists.' Gen Jackson
was not of that opinion, for he said that
the secessionists would mako use of the
slavery question to cover up their real
motives. But for the time admitting the
truth of the Couriers statement, VIC will
state another proposition. Had there
never been any slavery, there never would
have been any abolitionists. We believe
even the Courier must admit that state
ment. We ask the Courier if it will still
favor 'tha best remedy for the disease
and will help "to remove the cause?
If it will not, then all must see that
it is inconsistent and untruthful When
it is Remembered that all who sustain the
Government are called abolitionists by
the Courier, it will be seen that all Union
men are, in its opinion as bad as the reb-
els themselves. Amt the Courier a
loyal O. sheet? Don't it want to see the
rebels whipped?
