What the Soldiers think about il.

CAMP I'd Iowa CAVALRY, MEMPHIS,
Tenn, Sept. Sth, 1S63.-EDIToR HAVE
EYE:-A word to your numerous readers
to let them know that the I'd Iowa Cavalry
still holds forth in the land Of cotton. and
at the same time keeps an eye out for the
interest of the cause for which we contend
at the approaching election at home. We
are now stationed at Memphis, and since
the late Yankee raid to Granada, Miss,
where we participated in the burning OF
hundred rail cars, run there by the rebels
for safety, we have little in the war line
to report. We are quietly waiting for the
18th of October, when we intend to make
raid upon our Copperhead friends in
Iowa, when we, will pay our respects to
them and their pedce-lGGr-Stdr strapped
leader. Tuttle's a0dr letter of acceptance
OF the nomination of peace party, caused
no little merriment in soldier circles, But
the Argus tells its readers that that letter
was designed for CONSERVATIVE Republicans
and soldiers" We know it, Mr.. hArguS,
without the assurance of your Confederate
pen. No true soldier could take excep-
tons to Gen. Tuttle's letter, nor can any
real Christian object to the kiss and HGa
Master OF Judas. A dog is known by the
company he keeps, and uar letters lily
grace the pen OF an intimate political
friend and associate of Mahony, Dean,
Clagget, Dodge, Todd, Duncombe, &c. No,
dier friends and soldier votes, you must
leaye the ranks of traitors. You were
good soldier; and brave men under YOU
earned for you "star." Uncle Sam pays
you $3.50 three hundred and twenty
nine dollars and fifty cents)-pe month for
wearing 1t. how ungracious then to Join
the ranks of our enemies for so paltry
price: the hope of gubernatorial honors
Arnold was good General until he
thought. treason would pay better. Nor
was he ever louder in his pretended 10y
atty than while bartering his country to
Major Andre. But he had his day, land the
| 18th OF October shall be yours, foryI have
| yet to hear the first soldier say he would
vote for you. 81. g x. ri an PIERCE.
| SAD AND FATAL AcCIDEEr.-Robert
| Brown of Denmark, was killed Saturday
Sept. 18th, by the accidental discharge Of
a gun. He was returning home from
hunting excursion. When about six miles
from home, gun belonging to one of his
companions, was accidentally discharged,
the contents entering his neck, severing
the big arteries, and causing death instant

the- and number of brothers and sisters
| to mourn his loss. His mother and Young
er brothers and sisters looked to him as
their only support. He had obeyed bis
country's call, and served as a private in
the Iowa Engineer Regiment, in which be
received q discharge last winter, having
received injuries, while in the service, that
prevented his being of any farther use as a
soldier. OF these he had not yet entirely
recovered. .. .-..- .Ee @Ee a-l

tionate brother, and a true and honest
friend. He will be sadly missed in the
community where he has lived so long.
| WAR HAS ITS TRIUMPHs, So HAS PEACE
While the armies Of the Union were winn-
ing brilliant victories the Chemical Salerat&s
was enjoying series of uninterrupted tri-
umphs over the popular aversion to all sal
eratus, because the common kinds in use
We're found to be destructive. Science had
demonstrated that the Chemical iSuleratus
was not only pure in it's nature, but won
| derful in its effects, producing better bread
and biscuit than any other kind Of salera-
tus or soda known. rtomeaisiiTH
