QwThe Springfield Republican says that
young men who have neglected to. support
their mothers for several years have suddenly
set about earning something, so as to claim
exemption from the draft as being the sole
support Of dependent maternal. People
may now expect to see the rs~dy gatherings
on the street corners subside.

to ourselves the question of the constitution
ality of the law until we know how the SOL
diers votcr'
Such, Soldiers of the Republic, is the love
of those who applaud you in public, but con-
spre against you in secret, unless you will do
their bidding like slaves. .-.A
Every so-called Democratic paper in Iowa
has denounced the soldiers voting law un-
constitutional, and called upon the courts to
annulit. They yet profess to be your friends,
and in vindication of that friendship select a
tried soldier for Governor, hoping there by to
catch your votes, while in secret they plot
against you. ~
Believing you had not lost your political
rights, the Union party of Iowa gave you, al
though absent from home in the discharge Of
responsible duty, an opportunity to express
your preference for your civil rulers. The
Union party framed and passed the law secu-
ring you that right, which has never yet been
disturbed by the highest tribunal of the State.
In October next you will have an opportunity
to express your choice without restraint, and
it only remains for you to say whether the
Democratic party, as at present organized, is
honest in its profession of friendship for you
and whether, with the obstacles they have
thrown in the way of a vigorous prosecution
of your labors, they are entitled to your suf-
frages. Denounced by them as Lincoln's
abolition hirelings and minions, with no
voice Of condemnation for rebels, seeking
your overthrow and lives-doing nothing for,
but everything against the Government-re-
fusing to exut when you have been victorious
over your enemies-are you, Soldiers, pre-
pared to vote, as they dictate, or will you
like men, as you are, vote as you fight-for
the Federal Union, and for peace only when
sought by rebels? -

Very Reliable.

The Davenport Democrat and Netos, allu-
ding to the return of our fellow townsman,
Capt. J. H Turner, says: Capt. T. assures
US that the nomination of Gen. Tuttle secures
for him the soldiers vote" Therest we
smiled No doubt Capt Turner's optics saw
the soldiers all voting for brave soldier and
competent officer, but not placing much re-
lance on those optics, we beg leave to say
we don't believe a word Of it. Capt. 7. is a
hard shell, dyed n-the-wool, copper -bettomed
and fastened Democrat of the Breckenridge
school, whose prejudices are deep rooted. The
r. giment to which he belongs occupies the
distinguished position of fighting one way and
voting the opposite, and the Captain has an
idea that "as goes the 10th so goes the ar
my" We have conversed with several very
intelligent officers whose means for informa-
ton are quite as good as Captain Turner's,
and with a very large number of men from
the ranks, and we say in all candor that we
have not heard his testimony corroborated in
single instance. On the contrary We have
been assured that no man, not even Grant
himself, standing on the Vallandigham plat
form and associating with Mahony, Byington,
Mason, Thayer & Co., could get the vote Of
respectable minority of the Iowa soldiers
While we despise our Copperheads here, SOL
diers HATE them. ''
1t is exceedingly difficult to convince an
Iowa soldier that Gen. Tutt!e will accept the
nomination rendered him by five ''old fosslls''
at Burlington. But whether he do or not,
he cannot receive the soldiers vote. Capt
Turner may be able to soft-soap the Demo.
caat and Neaos into a belief that the 10th
Iowa will vote for Tuttle, (and it would vote
for Byington, or Thayer, just as readily but
there are too many soldiers outside of the 10th
who have "stock in this war;" We trust the
Captains pilgrimage North will have ben
efcial influence upon his politics and that it
may cause better report to come up from a
regiment that has seen too long service, and
given the rebels too many hard knocks, to
confederate with Northern peace men and
tories. If the boys are in earnest about fight
| ing, then their other acts should correspond.

Copy of Photograph from {. 4. Brovn, showing the eject .cf STERLLNG'S ANBROSIA in eighteen months.
 CERTIFICATE.
 This is to certify that, about eighteen months ago, commenced using STERLING S AMBRosIA. My hair was short, thin, and rap- idly. falling out. had tried many Hair Tonics Invigorators. &c.,, without receiving any benefit. Soon after using the Ambrosia my hair ceased falling out, and commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish me. Now my hair is thick, soft and glossy, and is five feet and four inchcs in length-when let down reaching to the floor. This wonderful result attribute solely to the use of SrERL1NG's AMBRosIA, as since I commenced using it I have applied nothing else to my hair.
 Mrs. L. A. BROWN,
 No. 439 Broadway, New York. We advise young persons, whose hair is be- ginning to fall out, to take warning in time, and save their hair, by using the Ambrosia To these who have already lost their hair. the free use of the Ambrosia will surely restore it, as it has done for thousands,
 Dr. Sterling's Ambrosia is a stimulating oily extract of Roots, Barks and Herbs. It will cure all diseases of thescalp, and itching of the head; entirely eradicates dandruff. pre- vents the hair from falling out, or from turn ing prematurely gray, causing it to grow thick and long. It is entirely different from all other preparations, and can be relied on.
 It is well known fact to thousands in the city of New York that this is the only article yet discovered that will cure the Disease of the Scalp and cause the Hair to grow.
