Excess over draft

Thus it will be seen that the State Of
Iowa is not only out Of this draft, but
in case another should be made, she
will be long way along with that. Our
State has shown degree OF spirit and
patriotism in furnishing men for the war
that is unequaled by any other State IN
the Union, in comparison to her popu-
lation. When, if ever, another draft
will be ordered we are unable to state.
but is likely BY the timo it is made, Iowa
will have furnished volunteers enough
10 cancel the draught upon her resou. .
ces.
As soon as some errors in the ofiicia!
tables are corrected, Gen. Baker will
publish the tables entire, showing the
exact number of men raised and the
number called for at various times.
Well done, Iowa! Let those who
have held tickets in the great lottery,
lay them away. There is no chance
for prize this time.-Denocrat ind

No DRAFT IN IowA.-Under the
d esent call for men under the Con
scription Act, there will be no draft in
this State, for the very good reason that
the excess Of troops above the qnstas
under previous calls, furnished by this
State, before the order for the draft was
made, amounted to l3 e97, which is
probably trihe more than the draft
would have called for.
From papers now on file in the Ad-
jutant Generals Office, which we have
been permitted to examine, we gather
the following information

The Mother.

Around the ideas of ores mother,
the mind Of man clings with fond
affection. It il the first deep thought
stamped upon our infant hearts when
yet soft and capable Of receiving tho
most profound impression, and all tho
after feelings Of the world are more or
less light in comparison. do not
know that even in on, old age We DO
not look back to that feeling as the
sweetest we have through life.
Our passions and wiltulness may lead
US far from the object Of our filial love;
we learn even to pain her heart, to OPP
pose her wishes, to violate her COM
mands; we may become wild, head
strong and angry at her counsels or ol'-
position; bu. when death has stilled
her monilory voice, and nothing but
calm memory remains to recapitulate
her virtues and good deeds, affection,
like flower beaten to the ground by i
past storm, raises up her head, and
smiles among her tears.
Around that idea, as we have said,
the mind clings with fond affection
and even when the earlier period Of our
loss forces memory to be silent, fancy
takes the place Of our remembrance,
and twines the image Of our dead
parent with a garland of graces and
beauties and vmtaca which we doubt
not that she possessed.

Bome men talk good deal but never

away. A his name implies he is al

done anything except blow his own
trumpet. His nearest neighbor is Jsnk-
ins-a very worthy quiet man, who
never made public speech in his life,
and who could not be hired to do that
thing for any man. Now Gassaway
has most supreme contempt for any
