Crow left there with band of war;

which is Oh British soil. While at
Pembina he made peace with four
powerful bands of Chippewas. In a

Sioux and taking his scalp. This

jackson, Tenn, June i, 1868.
! Mr.. EDITOR Il have received an
lntelligemoer from You, which enables
me to know what is transpiaing in
Floyd county, and for which you have
my sincere thanks.
The soldiers of the 9th are in
good health and spirits. Five compa-
| MES are here, while the other five are
stationed at various places on the line
of the Mississippi Central Railroad as
guards. How long we shall remain
here I am not prepared to say, but
present movements indicate the evac-
.uation of this place, soon, by our
troops. The End brigade, and one
regiment of the 3rd brigade left here
on the Both of May their destination
is vicksburg. There only remains. for
the protection of jackson, three regi-
ments of infantry, two batteries of
artillery and one regiment of cavalry.
We some expected an attack yester.
day by Forrest. The artillery was
formed in line Of battle supported by
infantry, and remained in line of bat
tie during the night. Our scouts were
out yesterday and report Forest with
in twenty miles of here with 5000
cavslry. We are prepared for him.
The success that has crowned our
army for some time past creates good
feeling and loud cheering among the
soldiers. .....
l understand that Loyal National
League is being formed in Floyd coun-
ty. Let those at home be united in
the one great issue now at hand let
all minor questions pass until the
present difficulty is settled, and all
be united in crushing the rebellion.
We hope and trust that Northern
Iowa will do honor to the brave SOL
diers now contesting for her rights.
We, soldiers of Floyd county, extend
our best wishes to the League formed
at home. Such an organisation should
have been effected long ago, ia order
to ferret out and punis,a the vile, trail
torous villisrs at home. l trust the
league thst has so long connected the
Copperheads of the North with the
traitors of the South will soon be bro
ken. Copperhcads do not stand very
high in the estimation of the soldiers.
They have been heaping up wrath
against the day of wrath, (which will
come when the soldiers return home.
The soldiers would send up rousing
cheers if they should hear of some OF
old Jeff's friends in the North getting
their just due. which would be about
six feet Of hemp.
We have left our home, our friends,
all the associations that were dear to
us, and are exposing our lives, and
are enduring the hardships incident
TO soldiers life, all for our country.
Many have suffered by impaired health,
and many have fallen to rise no more.

ARMY LETTER.

We Lavc before US a letter from
Henry A. Whitney, a soldier in the
33rd Illinois regiment, to his friends
in this place, giving an account of
the progress of Gen. Grants army
during the month of May. The letter
is dated ain the rear of Yicksburg,
June LIST, 1863" We make the fol-
lowing extract:
"On Sunday, May 18th, We moved
forward to Black River, our regiment
in the advance. We drove in the
enemy's pickets and came in sight of
their works, where we could see them
forming their line of battle and plac-
ing their artillery. We advanced to
within rife shot and then lay down.
Our artillery was placed in position
and played over us. We were thus
directly between the two fires, and
such kissing and screaming of shot
and shell is seldom heard. Balls and
pieces of shell dropped around US,
blowing up the ground and throwing
the dirt all over US, as We lay fat up
our faces. Soon breach was effected
by portion Of our troops gaining
their flank, and our men began to 60
over the rebel works then, such a
sight !! ! 1t wonld have done your soul
good to have witnessed it. One mo-

weeks of hardship and toll believe
it was one Of the happiest moments in
my life. The whole length OF the rcb.

artillery. The rebels destroyed the

built another, which we Immediately

burg invested and the attack was
commenced. Friday, the 22nd, will
long be remembered by McCIernand's
troops. On that day we charged the
enemy's works. Before noon. the
Stars and Stripes were planted on two
rebel forts, but our men could not
gain an entrance, and there we were,
the rebels on one side Of the breast
works and we on the other, and there
we stood and fought till dark, when
we were ordered back to our position.
The dead, and some Of the wounded,
lay on the battle field till Sunday,
when, the stencil becoming unendu-
to the rebels. they sent in flag Of
truce, requesting permission to bury
the dead. During the recess which
followed. the rebels and our men min
glsd freely, shook hands and convcrs-
together as though they were old
friends. One man in an Indiana reg
iment found his brother among the
rebels. They told us that the charge
We made on Friday was the boldest
thing they ever saw, and that they
did not like to fight such brave men.
