soldiers AliosAenis.
os The Davenport Gazette publishes the report
: of Rev. A. J. Kynett, Commissioner of Soldier's
Allotmeuts for Iowa The report shows that
: he has procured allotments 10 torty.three CON-
epanies Of thirteen regiments. The number OF
soldiers il these regiments making them, is two
thousand and thirty-six. The whole amount
allotted cut Of their pay, per month, is $2S,t9s
For one year, it will amount to $3.50, 70a. The
average sum allotted by each soldier to his fam
lily 10 about ten dollars. i
We think il unfortunate thst systematic efforts
were not made, from the beginning, to induce
our volunteers to set apart = portion, at least,
Of their pay Tor the benefit of those dependent
ON them for support. Had this been done, .
vast deal Of anxiety, and probably much suffer
ing, might have been averted. As it is, but very
few comparatively, out Of the large number Of
our volunteers, have adopted this mode of trans
ferring their dues for pay, to the hands Of those
who are often in want of it, when there 10 nei-
ther opportunity or ability to send it from q
distance.
One inducement to make these sllotmente
seems to be overlooked; that is, the greater Ger
tainty and prompsitude of payment. In the field,
from various causes. pay day in many instances,
IL very uncertain event. When allotn.ents are
made, payments are greatly fac,lit.ted, aud Can
be made as often as regulations permit, withou,
any delay.
Had all the regiments done IS well in this re-
spect as the 3Sth, they would Lave made q desi-
rsble provision for those they left at home Five
hundred and nine men OF this regiment allotted
$500 per month, amounting to $s9,9S4 per
year. This is nearly one-fourth Of all the allot-
ments made. II all had pursued the same course
to the same extent, the monthly amount sent
home, would have reached the sum of $277, 500
and $3,30oooo per year. No doubt great
many soldiers send home money, ss they get it.
But We fear that very large proportion Of those
who might do 80, and thus either save their pay,
or appropriate il to those who look to them for
at least, portion of it. fail to do so at al or to
IS great an. extent az desirable. The allotment
Of pay avoids q great many risks, and relieves
the soldier Of great many temptations. Much
that ought to be sent home, finds its way to the
sutler, or is lost. or squandered in some way
We trust, that as many of our volunteers as can,
will adopt this mode Of securing their pay to the
uses for which it is intended. 1t will be advAn-
tageous to them end 70 the community.

len: Dayls I'm Wra,h.

Most of our readers we're doubtless amused
at the recent proclamation of the arch traitor
who is Dictator Of the pretended Confsderacy,
oonsignipg ION paper) Gen. Butler and all COM
sioned officers of his command to felon's death.
We are not absolutely certain that the document
is genuine. 1t reads 90 much like an editorial
Of the Chicago Times that We are half inclined
to believe it one Of the REASONABLE documents
daily concocted by the super-serviceab.e editors
of that infamous sheet. Perhaps, however, this
similarity results from the identity of purpose SO
conspicuously apparent in the acts and language
of the Southern despot and bis Northern ally.
But there is little doubt that both of them
would be exceedingly glad to hang General But
Ter. The General has been q thorn in their sides
from the beginning. He has not hesitated to
strike at treason and traitors, wherever, and in
whatever form, be has been able to discover
them. He has acted as ii he we're in earnest
ae has not allowed himself to be hood winked
by pretended loyalty. He has dealt With facts az
they we're presented to him. Ths result has
been that the blows have been effectual, ard
that traitors have had good cause to fear him.
Its quite natural that jeff Davis, traitor. aud
all his allies equally traitorous, should hate him.
and equully natural that they should desire to
hang him. But We rather expect that they will
be disappointed. It is . thing much easier to
threaten than to do. 1t is much more probable
that Butler will do the banging when any of it
10 done. We notice that JET takes good care
70 keep himself at Q safe distance from Butler.
The General would probably treat him with as
little ceremony ss his treason merits. A strong
rope and short shrift, would be proper ter
animation to his infamous career. II would graf
ify the wishes Of sll loyal men to Gee these dealt
out to him by Butler That would be fitting
response to Jeff's proclamation.

New YORK. Horst'o syymour,are of any particular
importance 10 the public. We are merely
amused al toe attempts made by such papers AZ

to fatter him into the idea that be will be per
mitted to dictate to the Administration of the
Nation the policy it shall pursue, and the meas
ures it shall adopt. 1t 10 not probable that the

pushing the claim ever since, and an Ell glsh
Court has just decided that it has not jurisdic-

ness. The refusal to pay is only specimen of
the honesty and manliness which doth hedge a

We commend it to the attention of our readers.
The facts there digessed, are derived from those
interested, and who, no one will assume, we're
disposed to report less than tue actual number
who actually escaped from their bondage The
diminishing ratio Of such escapes, and their
very small number, completely reeute the idea
some have entertained, that the loss of slaves
was influential in inducing the South to inaugu-
rate its reasonable revolt It was not be-
cause their slaves were not secure, but because
they we're determined to overturn our free in
situations, and to make their own class the
Lords of the Land, that they waged war
against the Union, and endeavor to destroy the
Republic.
