who set on their pack of ours to howl

the Union, as their friend Besuregard
told them, have made as many Abolition

lists, and people in the North, finding
themselves denounced as "Abolit,onists'
because they were patriots, have at last
almost concluded that the thing they
once opposed is really desirable. They
don't object to it so much as they did

culiar institution" is abolished with
them. Why should tn. y? Was it not

We are requested to call tho attention
OF the friends of the soldiers to the i'm
portance Of prepaying in fuH every de-.
scription Of mail matter sent by them. II
you are not certain about tho weight of q
package, it is but little trouble to ask
your postmaster to test it on his scales.
This will save both time and money to
the soldier and relieve the postal officers
Of great source of annoyance. To illus.
trate: At present Nashville, Tenn, is
the point where the mails for General
Grants army centre; thence they are ia.
kea by military CONVEYANCE to tho diff.
fereut corps. The postal law forbids
postmasters suffering any mail upon which
postage is due leaving their custody be-
fore that postage be paid. A packs ge or
letter for a soldier at Chattanooga is re,
ceived at Nashville "due six cents" II
is there detained until notice can be sent
to the front, the soldier found and the SIC
cents forwarded to the postmaster; and all
this delay is occasioned By some careless
friend at home who neglects to pay the
proper postage.-Loutsvitle Journal.

A New Rebel Grievance!

"a young lady, writing from the Eau.
quicr toa paper in this city, says that
Ssdgwick's corps was encampcd near
Warrenton until Lees late advance, and
that while there, the effort to win the
people over by that most dangerous o all
experimentation kindness, were per-
sisteut and uuremittiug She adds that
she trembled when she saw 'the shadow
of success which attended these efforts,
and strove both by voice aud pen to
counteract them" -Richmond Wig.
This is . novel grievance. But it is
one, We fancy, of which the people Of
the South will not generally complain. I,
is certainly crime of which the rebels
have never been accused-certainly no.
by the Union men among them. Their
cruelty has reached the hight Of brutality
aud has rendered them infamous in the
eyes Of all Christeudom.
The Wing, in allusion to the use Of
this dangerous weapon" says:
"To soft sodor' man means, in plain
English, to cajole him-the Irish word
'blarney' expresses the same thing-and
this is precisely what the Yankees arc
now trying to do to our prisoners and
citizens in exposed districts. IL toe
many instances, We regret to say, theil
soft soder' has been successful"
We are rejoiced to find this evidence
of the power Of "kindness. The moral
effect Of this testimony canno. be lost
Those beyond the "exposed district"
will not fail to remember it as conclusive
against the charge Of "Yankee brutal
ity," and learn to look for the coming OF
the "inyaders" with joy rather than ap.
prehension.
But what will the Coppcrhead growl.

Not a Day to Loose.

There is great danger that the proud
history Of Iowa's patriotic past will be
blotted and At least partially obscured by
the record of the rapidly approaching fu.
sure, unless We are as State and people
aroused to . more earnest and jealous
action in the work of enlistment than
now. Irdians, Ohio, Illinois and other
Western States are earnestly endcavor-
ing to obtain their respective quotas, un-
der the last call, and will doubtless sue.
coed in doing so uithout a draft. In our
own State, few counties only excepted,
General Apathy seems to be in undis-
puted command. This popular inaction
and Indifference must give place to zeal
Gus effort if Iowa is to avoid disgrace.
Our quota can be made up by volunteers
If proper effort is had, but not otherwise.
The draft will certainly take place on the
9Th Of January next if the needed men
are not obtained before that time. Not a
day is to be lost if the patriotism Of our
State is to be vindicated as it ought and
can be Let every true citizen do some
thing to urge on the work of enlistment
-Dav. Gaz.
